RESUMO
Objective To summarize the rules in the application of Shuigou (GV 26) by sorting the ancient literatures involving Shuigou (GV 26).Method A database was established based on systemically rigidly sorting out the indications, paired acupoints, indications of paired acupoints, acupuncture and moxibustion methods, and stimulation dose of Shuigou (GV 26) by retrieving the 1000 books indexed byZhong Hua Yi Dian (Chinese Canon of Medicine) (4th edition).Result A total of 425 items about the indications of Shuigou (GV 26) were concluded, involving 171 ancient books, the frequency of using Shuigou (GV 26) was 240 times, and there were 109 acupoints used in pairs with it.Conclusion The top 10 acupoints used in pairs with Shuigou (GV 26) were Hegu (LI 4), Baihui (GV 20), Zusanli (ST 36), Shangxing (GB 23), Chengjiang (CV 24), Qihai (CV 6), Jiache (ST 6), Fengfu (GV 16), Zhongwan (CV 12), and Weizhong (BL 40). The common depth for acupuncture was 0.4 cun and the dose of moxibu- stion was 3 cones.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of acupuncture treatment on the levels of HPA axis related hormones and acupoint compatibility in insomnia rats; To discuss the mechanism of action for acupuncture treatment. Methods Chlorophenylalanine suspension was under intraperitoneal injection to establish insomnia model rats. Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, Baihui+Shenmen group, Baihui+Sanyinjiao group, Baihui+non-acupoint group, with 12 rats in each group. Each treatment group received acupuncture in relevant acupoints, 30 min each time, for 7 d. ELISA was used to measure the levels of CRH, ACTH and CORT. Results Compared with the model group, the levels of CRH, ACTH and CORT of the acupuncture groups decreased to some extent. In the three acupuncture groups, the efficacy of Baihui+Shenmen group was better than that of Baihui+Sanyinjiao group and Baihui+non-non-acupoint group. Conclusion Acupuncture treatment may calm and soothe the nerves to release the insomnia through regulating HPA axis related hormones. Acupuncture acupoints at different meridians may be one of the factors that cause the difference of acupoints compatibility effect.

RESUMO
<Nanjing> is a famous ancient medical book of China. This article made a deep analysis on compatibility of acupoints in this book from four aspects: ① Acupoints compatibility of mother-son reinforcing-reducing method; ②Acupoints compatibility of reducing heart-fire and reinforcing kendy-watre method; ③Acupoints compatibility of needling jing-point reducing xing-point method, and ④ Acupoints compatibility of four-seasions wu-zang and wushu-point method.
