Methods: Forty AIS patients were randomly divided into acupuncture group (n=20) and medication group (n=20) according to their admission sequence. Acupoints, bilateral Neiguan (PC 6) and Tongli (HT 5) were punctured with Gauge-28 filiform needles, once daily, with 10 sessions being a therapeutic course. Patients of the medication group were treated with oral administration of persantine and aspirin as well as intravenous drip of 20% mannitol, low molecular dextran and compound Danshen (red sage root) injectio. Cerebral infarction volume, ECG (heart rate, ST Ⅱ and T Ⅱ), plasma CGRP, thromboxane (TX) B 2 and 6-Keto-prostanglandin (PG) F1a and scores of the neurological deficit were used as the indexes. Results: After 2 courses of treatment, self comparison of pre-and post treatment of each group showed that the therapeutic effects of acupuncture in reducing infarction volume ( P<0.01), lowering heart rate (HR, P<0.01) and ST Ⅱ ( P<0.01), raising T Ⅱ wave amplitude ( P<0.01), elevating plasma CGRP ( P<0.001) and 6-keto-PGF 1a ( P<0.01) and reducing plasma TXB 2 ( P< 0.01) were superior to those of medication group. Conclusion: Acupuncture of acupoints of the Pericardium Meridian and Heart Meridian has a significant protective action on the cardiac performance and cerebral function in acute ischemic stroke patients.展开更多

Methods:49 Wistar rats were randomly divided into ① control group, ② ST 36 Xu group, ③ BL 21 Xu group, ④ ST 36 Chen group, ⑤ BL 21 Chen group, ⑥ ST 36 IT group, and ⑦ BL 21 IT group, with 7 rats in each group. Rat gastric ulcer model was established using intra gastric administration of glacial acetic acid. Gastric mucosal thickness,mucosal muscular defect width,superficial mucosal mucus index (MI),intramucosal MI ,Total MI,plasma 6 keto PGF1α ,serum NO and gastric tissue CGRP concentrations were used as the indexes. The EA treatment was conducted once daily at Xu period (7-9 o’clock in the evening), Chen period (8-10 o’clock in the morning) and irregular time (IT) with 6 days being a therapeutic course, two courses altogether. Results:After EA treatment,①the regenerated mucosal thickness values of the aforementioned 6 EA groups, particularly ST 36 Xu group and BL 21 Xu group, were all apparently higher than that of control group (P<0.05-0.01), while the mucosal muscle layer defect width values of different EA groups, particularly ST 36 Xu group and BL 21 Xu group, were strikingly lower than that of control group (P<0.05-0.01); ②the 3 MI of the 6 EA groups, particularly those of ST 36 Xu group were all significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05-0.01); ③plasma 6 keto PGF1α contents of the 6 EA groups, particularly those of ST 36 Xu and BL 21 Xu groups, were all significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05-0.01); ④serum NO and gastric tissue CGRP concentrations of the 6 EA groups, particularly those of ST 36 Xu and BL 21 Xu groups and CGRP concentration of ST 36 Chen group, were all significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05-0.01);and ⑤there were positive correlation between superficial MI or total MI and NO level (r=0.858, 0.987, P<0.05,and 0.01),and between the superficial mucus index and CGRP concentration (r=0.9051, t=4.68, P<0.01), suggesting that the increase of the secretion function of the regenerated mucosal mucus is related to acupuncture induced increase of release of both NO and CGRP.Conclusion:The therapeutic effect of EA of ST 36 and BL 21 in Xu period is better in the treatment of gastric ulcer,and that of EA of ST 36 is the best.展开更多
