RESUMEN
It was to introduce professor 's experience in the treatment of oculomotor nerve palsy with acupuncture based on the interactions of twelve muscle regions and opposing needling theory. In the treatment, the TCM syndrome differentiation is taken as the general principle, the theory of the interactions of twelve muscle regions and opposing needling as the specific feature. The contrary needling is used at Hanyan (GB 4) and Juliao (ST 3) on the healthy side. The meridian-collateral and the exterior-interior differentiations are adopted to identify the syndromes. At the early stage of the disease, the treating principle focuses on expelling wind, eliminating cold and promoting the circulations of meridians and collaterals. The shallow needling, less acupoints and gentle stimulation are required. At the middle and late stage, the treating principle concentrates on strengthening the antipathogenic and harmonizing and blood. The deep needling, the multiple acupoints and the strong stimulation are applied. Additionally, the four-needling technique at Fengchi (GB 20), the multiple shallow needling at the eyelid margin, the opposing needling and the quantity of needling sensation are used in combination, which were developed by professor . With those comprehensivemethods, the symptoms of oculomotor nerve palsy are relieved and the significant clinical therapeutic effects achieved.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy ofXing Nao Kai Qiao(brain-awakening orifice-opening) needling method plus Frenkel's balance rehabilitation exercise in treating lower-limb dysfunction due to different types of ataxia after stroke.MethodA total of 115 eligible patients were randomized into two groups. Fifty-seven cases in the treatment group were intervened by Xing Nao Kai Qiaoneedling plus rehabilitation training; 58 cases in the control group were intervened byXing Nao Kai Qiaoneedling method alone. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was adopted to evaluate the symptoms, balance function, and therapeutic efficacy before and after the treatment.Result In the treatment group, the markedly effective rate was respectively 72.2%, 83.3% and 61.1% in the cerebella subtype, brainstem subtype and basal ganglia subtype, and the total effectiverate was respectively 100.0%, 94.4% and 94.4%; in the control group, the markedly effective rate was respectively 21.1%, 35.0% and 58.8%, and the total effective rate was respectively 94.7%, 85.0% and 82.4%, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After the treatment, the BBS score showed significant intra-group differences in both groups (P<0.01); the between-group comparisons showed that there were significant differences in comparing the scores of cerebella and brainstem subtypes after the treatment (P<0.05).ConclusionXing Nao Kai Qiaoneedling method plus Frenkel's rehabilitation exercise can effectively improve the symptoms of poststroke lower-limb ataxia, especially for cerebella and brainstem subtypes.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of combined use of acupuncture and medicine in treating spasmodic torticollis.Method Thirty patients were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 15 cases and a control group of 15 cases. The treatment group received combined use of acupuncture and medicine, and the control group, acupuncture alone.Result Clinical observation lasted one year. There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the Tsui score in the two groups at 6 and 12 months after treatment (P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in the Tsui score between at 6 and 12 months after treatment in the two groups (P<0.01); the Tsui score decreased gradually after treatment. There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the Tsui score between the two groups at 12 months after treatment (P<0.05); the Tsui score decreased more in the treatment group.Conclusion The cure and marked efficacy rate of combined use of acupuncture and medicine for spasmodic torticollis is higher than that of acupuncture alone. A longer course is needed for acupuncture treatment of spasmodic torticollis and the patient should persevere with the treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective: To seek a treatment that can improve the effect on dysphagia following post-stroke pseudobulbar palsy. Methods: Sixty patients were randomly allocated into observation and control groups, 30 cases each. The observation group was treated with Western drugs plus acupuncture at Tiantu (CV 22) and other three acupoints around Lianquan (CV 23) and the control group with simple Western drugs. Results: The effective rate was 86.7% in the observation group and 30.0% in the control group. Conclusion: Acupuncture can improve the curative effect of Western drugs on dysphagia following post-stroke pseudobulbar palsy.
RESUMEN
Raman bands of oleanolic acid were measured with laser Raman spectroscopy, and compared with that obtained fron IR spectroscopy. It was found that the corresponding characteristic bands of oleanolic acid can be identified in both speetroscopy.
