YANG Jun's clinical experience of acupuncture for oculomotor paralysis / 中国针灸

Professor YANG Jun's clinical experience of acupuncture and moxibustion for oculomotor paralysis is summarized. Professor YANG Jun pays attention to disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation in the treatment of this disease. According to the characteristics of oculomotor paralysis, "early diagnosis and seeking treatment from the source" is advocated. According to the etiology and pathogenesis, professor YANG divides oculomotor paralysis into three types: the syndrome of wind-evil attacking collaterals, the syndrome of spleen-stomach weakness and the syndrome of qi-deficiency and blood-stasis. As such, the acupoints are selected according to syndrome differentiation, and several different acupuncture methods (pricking needling at eyelids, penetrating needling and lifting eyelids and contralateral- balance needling on the healthy side) are adopted to improve the symptoms of oculomotor paralysis. It is also suggested to use the combination of scalp acupuncture and electroacupuncture to achieve the best dose-effect state. Moreover, local stimulation around the eyes is important to achieve the effects of "qi reaching affected area".

The intensive stimulation with electroacupuncture is recommended at Qianzheng (Extra), Yifeng (TE 17) and Yangbai (GB 14), which is given two or three treatments per week.

Expression of CD151 in Human Atherosclerotic Artery and Its Implication / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

To investigate the expression of CD151 in human atherosclerosed artery and explore its clinical implications, Western blot and immunohistochemical techniques were used to determine the protein expression of CD151 in arterial tissues with atherosclerosis taken from 36 patients, including 26 cases who received bypass operation for peripheral artery atherosclerosis and 6 cases who died from coronary heart disease. The expression of CD151 in normal artery tissues from 15 healthy organ donators were also measured to serve as control. The results showed that expression of CD151 protein in atherosclerotic arteries was significantly higher than that in normal artery. In ath erosclerotic arteries, CD151 expression was localized in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in all tunica media and in partial subintima, while in normal artery, sparse expression was found in tunica media near adventitia. It is concluded that high CD151 protein expression in artery is associated with atherosclerosis and CD151 plays an important role in the atherosclerosis related to VSMC. The expression of CD151 in human atherosclerotic artery depends on the extent of atherosclerotic dam age, it's independent of risk factors.
