RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) and electro-acupuncture (EA) combined with local anesthesia on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and Brain function in CAS patients.Methods Eighty cases of CAS were randomly as signed into EA group (group A),TEAS group (group T) and sham group (group C).Patients in group A received EA at acupoints of Shuigou (GV26) and Baihui (GV20),Hegu (L14) and Waiguan (TE5) at the same side of the stenting before 30 min of operation.Patients in group T received TEAS at the same acupoints through self-adhesive skin electrodes.In group T and group A,stimulations were continued until the end of the operation.The patients in group C did not received EA or TEAS.Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were maintained at + 10％-20％ of baseline.Preoperative and postoperative average Vm,PI,RI of middle cerebral artery were measured.The occurrence of hyperperfusion and preoperative and postoperative scores at 1 week,1 month,3 months National Institute of Health Stroke Scale and Global Assessment Scale were recorded.Results The Vm of groups A and T was significantly less than group C (P＜0.05).The incidence of hyperperfusion of groups A and T were 3.7％,0％ and 25.0％ respectively (P＜0.05).NIHSS score of group A and group T were lower than those of group C during postoperative 1 week,1 month,3 month (P＜0.05),while the difference between groups A and T had no statistical significance.GES score of group A and group T during postoperative 1 week improved significantly than that of group C (P＜0.05).Conclusion Both TEAS and EA combined with local anesthesia in CAS operation could reduce the increase of postoperative cerebral blood flow and the incidence of postoperative hyperperfusion,and obviously improve brain function during postoperative 1 week.Both TEAS and EA combined with local anesthesia could be a worthwhile anesthesia method in CAS patients.
RESUMEN
@# Objective To explore the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on upper limbs function in chronic stroke patients. Methods From March, 2016 to May, 2018, 53 patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 27) and research group (n = 26). All the patients received conventional rehabilitation, and the research group received additional intervention of TEAS, for six weeks. They were assessed with Manual Muscle Test (MMT) on upper limbs, modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-upper extremities (FMA-UE), Hand Motor Status Scale and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before, at the end of 6-week treatment and twelve weeks after treatment. Results There was no significant difference in all the scores between two groups at the end of 6-week treatment (t < 1.511, P > 0.05). The scores of MMT of wrist dorsal extension, FMA-UE and MBI were better in the research group than in the control group twelve weeks after end of treatment (t > 2.312, P < 0.05). Conclusion TEAS may promote the recovery of hands and upper limbs function in chronic stroke patients.

Objective To explore the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on paralytic hand and upper limb of stroke patients. Methods 32 patients were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=16) and the control group (n=16). All the pa-tients accepted routine rehabilitation, and the patients in the treatment group accepted TEAS in addition for 6 weeks. They were assessed with Fug1-Meyer Assessment of upper extremities (FMA-UE), motor status scale (MSS) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and 2, 4, 6 weeks after treatment. Results All the measures improved in both groups after 2, 4, and 6 weeks of treatment (P<0.05), while the scores of MBI improved more in the treatment group than in the control group 4 weeks after treatment (P<0.05), and all the measures improved more in treatment group than in the control group 6 weeks after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion TEAS may promote the recovery of flaccid hand and upper extremity function post stroke.

RESUMEN
@#Objective To observe the effects of transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation(TEAS) at zusanli on fatigue after training.Methods 40 soldiers with exercise fatigue after marine training were divided into 2 groups.The soldiers in treatment group were treated with TEAS on Zusanli(ST36).Those in control group recovered naturally.Results The fatigue symptoms were improved,the consistency of the hemoglobin(HGB) were significantly increased,and the levels of lactic acid(LA) were significantly decreased in treatment group(P<0.01),which seemed better than that of the controls(P<0.05).Conclusion TEAS can facilitate the recovery from fatigue after training.
