Randomized Controlled Trial
[Impacts of the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on EC50 in the remifentanil inhibition of tracheal intubation response].
To explore the impacts on EC50 in the remifentanil inhibition of tracheal intubation response by the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) at Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6). ⋯ TEAS apparently reduces EChe in the remifentanil inhibition of tracheal intubation response by around 17%as.

To explore the effects of acupuncture with different filiform needles on structure of fascial connective tissues, cellular activity, arrangement and content of collagen fibers in acupoint area of rats. ⋯ Acupuncture with different filiform needles can change the local tissue morphology of acupoints, strengthen cell activity and adjust the exyression of collagenous fiber protein, which may be one of the cellular biomechanics principles of the acupuncture therapy's "regulating meridians" effects. However, the stimulation is produced by different fifiform needles, and the complex relationships exist between cells and collagen fibers.
