摘要:Objective To discuss the best treatment time of electroacupuncture in rats with acute spinal cord injury. Method All 50 rats were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, electroacupuncture group 1 (needled 2 hours after the model establishment), electroacupuncture group 2 (needled after 6 hours) and electroacupuncture group 3 (needled after 12 hours). The treatment of electroacupuncture was given at the acupoints of Dazhui (GV14) and Mingmen (GV4) with continual pulse current at 2 Hz of frequency and 25 mA of intensity for 30 minutes. The spinal samples were collected from all groups 24 hours after model establishment and the content changes of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide (NO) were detected. Result After the treatment of electroacupuncture in rats with acute spinal cord injury the SOD and NO contents changed in injured spinal cord, which was more significant in electroacupuncture group 1 than in electroacupuncture group 2 and electroacupuncture group 3. Conclusion The electroacupuncture given 2 hours after the occurrence of spinal cord injury will have the best time effectiveness.

摘要:Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic standard of intervertebral joint disturbance syndrome, and provide the basis for the operation of the manipulations integrated acupoint-pressing, poking and pulling. Method The cases of intervertebral joint disturbance syndrome of upper-lumbar were chosen by using the clinical research methods. The occurrence rate of main symptoms and signs in the cases were calculated. The cases were randomly divided into pulling group, acupoint-pressing and poking group, and integration group (three manipulations integrated) treated with different manipulations respectively. The curative effect was reviewed based on visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI). Result There were 69 cases accorded with conditions, whose symptoms were manifested mainly as injury in the connecting structure of upper and nether intervertebral segments, and some of them had the injury of posterior rami of spinal nerves. Among three groups the statistical difference emerged in VAS only after 2 weeks and in ODI only after 4 weeks. Conclusion The injury of posterior rami of spinal nerves is an accompany symptom of intervertebral joint disturbance syndrome. The manipulations of acupoint-pressing and poking in the area of posterior rami of spinal nerves can improve the curative effect on the syndrome. More clinical study proofs are needed to find whether the manipulations integrated acupoint-pressing, poking and pulling are better than single acupoint-pressing and poking or single pulling.
