Methods: In the first part of the study for observing psychological changes, a total of 90 volunteer armed policemen participating in anti-terrorism maneuver were randomly and evenly divided into anti-chemical weapon group, flight reconnaissance group and hostage-rescuing group. 30 logistic personals were selected to form control group. Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) questionnaire was used to assess the psychological state of these anti-terrorism policemen. In the second part of the study for observing the effect of acupuncture, 60 policemen with anxiety and depression who were determined by Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were randomly and evenly divided into non-acupuncture and acupuncture groups, and other 30 policemen with normal psychological state were selected to form control group. Two weeks before anti-terrorism maneuver, participants of acupuncture group were asked to receive continuous acupuncture treatment of bilateral Neiguan (内关 PC 6) and Zusanli (足三里 ST 36), once daily, 15 min every time. Results:Comparison among the first 4 groups displayed that the total scores, scores of body feeling reactions, interpersonal relation, depression, anxiety, terror, and psychological problems of flight reconnaissance and hostage-rescuing groups were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05-0.01), suggesting that the psychological stress pressure was strongest in flight reconnaissance policemen and secondary in hostage-rescuing policemen, followed by anti-chemical weapon policemen. Following administration of acupuncture intervention, scores of both SDS and SAS in acupuncture group were considerably lower than those of non-acupuncture group (P< 0.01), showing that acupuncture intervention could reduce psychological stress reactions in the armed policemen undergoing anti-terrorism exercise. Conclusion: Before anti-terrorism exercise,neerly all the armed policemen have different degrees of psychological problems, while acupuncture intervention can improve their psychological state.展开更多

Methods: a total of 150 children with suppurative tonsillitis in the department of pediatrics of Dingxi People's Hospital from July 2020 to July 2021 were selected and randomly divided into control group and treatment group, with 75 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional western medicine anti-infection treatment and ibuprofen antipyretic treatment, and the treatment group was given acupoint sticking combined with acupoint pricking and bloodletting on the basis of the control group. After treatment, the improvement of body temperature and the total effective rate of treatment were observed. Results: the total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group, and the range of temperature improvement was higher than that in the control group, P < 0.05. Conclusion: acupoint application combined with acupoint pricking and bloodletting has a definite clinical effect on high fever caused by suppurative tonsillitis in children, which can effectively improve the condition and reduce the body temperature, and is worth popularizing.展开更多
