To investigate the protective effect of electroacupuncture(EA) on rats with ulcerative colitis (UC) and its effect on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. ⋯ Electroacupuncture exerts a protective effect on the colonic mucosa in rats with UC possibly by inhibiting the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines, and high-intensity EA may have a better effect than low-intensity EA.

Meta Analysis
[Systematic review and sequential analysis on treatment of herpes zoster pain mainly by fire needle therapy].
To assess the therapeutic effect and safety of fire needle therapy in the treatment of herpes zoster pain. ⋯ In the treatment of herpes zoster pain, fire needle as the main treatment approach can significantly relieve pain, shorten the pain duration, and reduce the incidence of post-herpetic neuralgia.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on pulmonary function and oxidative stress response in lower extremity surgery patients using tourniquet].
To investigate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on pulmonary function, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in patients using tourniquet after lower extremity surgery. ⋯ TEAS at ST36 and SP6 can improve pulmonary function and attenuate oxidative stress response in patients using tourniquet after lower extremity surgery.
-
To explore the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli" (ST36) on gastrointestinal motility and expression of autophagy marker LC3 and autophagy signaling pathway molecule AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in rats with functional dyspepsia (FD), so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of FD. ⋯ EA at ST36 can promote gastrointestinal motility in FD rats, which is possibly mediated by inhibiting excessive autophagy of interstitial cells of Cajal via down-regulating AMPK/ULK1 signaling.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Efficacy of Ropivacaine injection at acupoints for labor analgesia and its effect on breastfeeding and serum prolactin].
To investigate the efficacy of acupoint injection of Ropivacaine for labor analgesia and its effect on breastfeeding and prolactin secretion. ⋯ Injection of Ropivacaine at LI4 and SP6 is effective for labor analgesia and raising prolactin level, and favorable to breastfeeding in the early postpartum period.
