To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli"(ST 36)-"Yanglingquan"(GB 34) on pain behavior and expression of hippocampal neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) mRNA in rats with chronic neuropathic pain so as to analyze its mechanism underlying analgesia. ⋯ EA stimulation of "Zusanli"(ST 36)-"Yanglingquan"(GB 34) at 2 Hz, 2 Hz/15 Hz and 100 Hz can significantly suppress chronic neuropathic pain induced in CCI rats, which may be closely associated with its effects in down-regulating hippocampal nNOS and PKG mRNA expression levels.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of electroacupuncture combined with cervical plexus block on stress responses in patients undergoing thyroid surgery].
To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with cervical plexus block (CPB) on the stress response of patients undergoing thyroid surgery. ⋯ EA combined with cervical plexus block significantly reduces peri-operative cardiovascular stress responses and inhibits abnormal increases of plasma stress hormones and inflammatory reaction in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Randomized controlled trails for "equilibrium-acupuncture" treatment of lumbar pain in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse].
To observe the effect of "equilibrium-acupuncture" intervention on lumbar pain in lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse patients. ⋯ "Equilibrium-acupuncture" has a faster and stable long-term analgesic effect for lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse patients.
-
To observe the inhibitory effect of auricular concha transcutaneous electrostimulation (ACTES) of different frequencies and duration on acute seizures in epilepsy rats so as to select a better stimulating parameter for relieving epilepsy. ⋯ ACTES at 20 Hz can effectively lessen epileptic seizures, and under fixed stimulating frequencies of 2 Hz and 100 Hz, the anti-epileptic effects of 30 s ACTES and 30 min-ACTES are obviously better in epilepsy rats.
-
To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) and moxibustion-like thermal stimulation with different temperatures at "Zusanli" (ST 36) on pain reactions in transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 knock-out (TRPV 1 -/-) mice so as to study its mechanisms underlying analgesia. ⋯ Both EA and thermal stimulation of the right ST 36 can raise mechanical and thermal pain thresholds in TRPV 1 -/- and C 57 BL/6 mice, but needing a stronger stimulation in TRPV 1 -/- mice, suggesting an involvement of TRPV 1 receptors in analgesia.
