[Progress of Researches on Brain Mechanism Underlying Regulatory Effect of Acupuncture Intervention on Visual Plasticity of Amblyopia].

Acupuncture therapy has a positive effect in the treatment of amblyopia. This article summarizes findings of the research on brain mechanisms underlying the regulatory effect of acupuncture on visual plasticity of amblyopia. In a multi-system and multi-level viewpoints, we elaborated brain mechanism underlying the regulatory effect of acupuncture on visual plasticity in amblyopia from the perspective of ultrastructure, plasticity, electrical activities, neural coding and visual microcirculation of the neurons of the visual cortex, and the targeting points from the visual center to the effector organ.

[Molecular Biology of the Treatment of Amblyopia with Acupuncture: a Review of Recent Research].

Acupuncture has been found effective for the treatment of amblyopia, and its mechanism has been investigated. A review of recently published research results indicated that when used to treat amblyopia, acupuncture induced changes in the action of neurotransmitters in the visual system, promoted the secretion and synthesis of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and stimulated the expression of genes related to visual plasticity.

[FTIR investigation of new polymer solid electrolytes].

The conductivity of the porous polymer solid electrolyte blended with PVDF and PMMA, which was made by a micro-wave hot-cross-linking method, reached 2.05 x 10(-3) S x cm(-1) at room temperature. The polymer solid electrolyte was analyzed and investigated by FTIR. The results show that the PVDF, PMMA and LiClO4 in the polymer solid electrolyte were not simply blended, but certain kind of effect existed which was strengthened only when the polymer solid electrolyte came into being.
