Professor GAO Yuchun's experience of acupuncture for headache / 中国针灸

As one of the important founders of GAO's acupuncture academic school in YanZhao area, Professor GAO Yuchun 's experience of acupuncture for headache is summarized in this paper. In the opinion of Professor GAO, the treatment of headache should focus on eliminating evil and relieving pain, and the syndrome differentiation should be based on meridian differentiation, especially on three yang meridians of foot as well as liver meridian and kidney meridian. In the acupoint prescription, attention should be placed on strengthening the spleen and stomach. The midnight-midday ebb flow acupuncture is advocated. The combination between acupuncture order and movement of qi is emphasized. In the manipulation, the role of pressing hand, the stimulation during reinforcing and reducing methods, and needle-retention time are important. The breathing reinforcing and reducing method of acupuncture are also advocated.

Gao Yuchun's experience of facial paralysis treatment / 中国针灸

To introduce professor Gao Yuchun's clinical experience and treating characteristics of facial paralysis treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. Professor Gao pays attention to yangming when he selects acupoints for clinical syndrome, and directs acupoints selection based on syndrome differentiation in different levels of jingjin, meridians and zangfu; he praises opposing needling technique and reinforcing the deficiency and reducing the excess highly; the acupuncture manipulation is gentle,shallow and slow for reducing the healthy side and reinforcing the affected side, and through losing its excess to complement its deficiency; besides, he stresses needle retaining time and distinguishes reinforcing and reducing. Facial paralysis is treated with key factors such as acupoints selecting based on yangming, acupuncture manipulation, needle retaining time, etc. And the spleen and stomach is fine and good at transportation and transformation; the meridians is harmonious; the qi and blood is smooth. The clinical efficacy is enhanced finally.

INNERVATION OF THE SINOATRIAL NODE OF THE DOG / 解剖学报

The innervation of sino-atrial node in 5 dogs demonstrated by Faworsky's silver impregnation technique was studied and the results were summarized as follows: 1.On the basis of observation under microscope,two-third of the area adjacent to the suleus terminalis was found to be occupied by the main part of the sino-atrial node in the dog. 2.The nerve ganglia in the sino-atrial node and its peripheral zone were distingu- ished in two groups. 1)The Subepicardial group,i.e,the nerve ganglia of the peripheral zone around the node:It consists of the superficial and profund groups.Most of the nerve ganglia are present close to the sulcus terminalis and become less in number as approaching the cava- auricular angle.The largest nerve ganglion comprising of 30 cells could be seen with naked eye on the section,and the smaller ones are those with individnd cells. 2)Peripheral group around the artery,i,e the nerve ganglia within the node:They were situated around the sino-atrial artereis adjacent to the sulcus terminalis.Occasionally two ganglia may appear in one visual field.They were scattered among the nodal cells and also among myocardial fibers between the sino-atrial node and the endocardium. The characteristics of the structure of the nerve ganglia in both groups were described. 3)The relation of the nerve bundles and the nerve ganglia was studied in detail. The authors presumed that both the parasympathetic postganglionic fibers and parasympa- thetic preganglionic fibers existed in the sino-atrial node.
