Methods Eighty cases of supratentorial tumor resection were randomly divided into a group A and a group S, 40 cases in each group. All the patients were anesthetized with 2% Sevoflurane. The patients in group A received eleetroacupuneture at Hegu （合谷 LI 4） and Waiguan （外关 TE 5）, Jinmen （金门 BL 63） and Taichong （太冲 LR 3）, Zusanli （足三里 ST 36） and Qiuxtu（丘墟 GB 40） from anesthesia beginning to the end of operation, and in group S without electroacupuncture. tidal Sevoflurane concentration, minimum alveolar concentration （MAC）, bispectral index （BIS） and the information during anesthesia recovery stage were recorded, respectively. Results The end-tidal concentration and MAC of Sevoflurane in group A at all times were significant lower than those in group S （P〈0.05, P〈0.01） with a Sevoflurane saving of 9.62% on average. The BIS in group A during a few phases were higher than that in group S （all P〈0.05）. During anesthesia recovery stage, the time of each phase in group A was significantly shorter than that in group S （all P〈0.01）. No dysphoria and one case with nausea and vomiting were shown in group A, but in group S, 2 patients had dysphoria and 3 patients had nausea and vomiting. Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with Sevoflurane anesthesia can decrease the dosage of Sevoflurane, shorten the recovery time of anesthesia and improve the quality of anesthesia recovery of the patients undergoing resection of supratentorial tumor.展开更多

The observation is performed respectively by thermography for the dynamic changes of temperature of the arm and hand after ac upuncture treatment and qi-gong treatment. Thermographic results show that the t emperature on the collateral channels increases significantly. In the meantime, it can be seen that the above therapies of traditional Chinese medicine can stim ulate the channel collateral system. This also contributes a new basis to the ef fect of action of the therapies of traditional Chinese medicine. The work shows that thermographic technique is a powerful tool for research in traditional Chin ese medicine. In this paper, some thermal images are obtained from the persons t reated with acupuncture and qi-gong.展开更多
