Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of long-time retention of scalp needle on the abilities of cognition, daily living activity and P300 in vascular dementia patients].
To observe the curative effect of long-time retention of scalp needle in the treatment of vascular dementia (VD) patients, and its influence on P300. ⋯ Long-term retention of scalp acupuncture needles can improve VD patients' intelligence, ADL ability and EEG.

Comparative Study
[Selection of basic acupoints for composing "gastric-disorder-formula" for electroacupuncture prevention of acute gastric mucosal lesion in rats].
To select the best combination of the commonly-used acupoints [Zhongwan (CV 12), Neiguan (PC 6), and Zusanli (ST 36)] for treatment of gastric disorders. ⋯ ST36, PC6 and CV12 combination can effectively reduce anhydrous alcohol-induced gastric mucosal lesion in rats, and may be used as a basic formula
-
To observe the difference of signaling afferent mechanism of acupoints analgesic effect between manual acupuncture (MA) and electroacupuncture (EA) of "Zusanli" (ST 36) in order to analyze the initiating mechanism of these two commonly used clinic acupuncture methods. ⋯ Both MA and EA can induce analgesia and concomitant increase of DGR of mast cells. The collagen fibers may contribute to MA initiated analgesic effect while the peripheral nerve receptors are probably involved in EA analgesia in rat.
