-
To observe the effects of acupoint-nerve block on manual-acupuncture (MA) and electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia and mast cells degranulation in adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats in order to analyze the underlying peripheral mechanism of MA and EA analgesia. ⋯ After nerve block of the local and proximal acupoints rather than the distal acupoint innervated by the same nerve, the analgesic effect of both MA and EA of ST36 is obviously attenuated; but no marked influences on MA- and EA-induced mast cell degranulation are found.
-
To compare the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of "Gastric Problem Formula" ["Neiguan" (PC 6), "Zhongwan" (CV 12) and "Zusanli" (ST 36)] on electrical activities of neurons of medullary subnucleus reticularis dorsalis (SRD) of the rat. ⋯ Moderate acupuncture stimulation of "Neiguan" (PC 6), "Zhongwan" (CV 12) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) can effectively activate spontaneous discharges of SRD neurons in the rat.

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.
