Acupuncture has promising effects on chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), but high-quality evidence is scarce. To assess the long-term efficacy of acupuncture for CP/CPPS. Multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03213938). Ten tertiary hospitals in China. Men with moderate to severe CP/CPPS, regardless prior exposure acupuncture. Twenty sessions or sham over 8 weeks, 24-week follow-up after treatment. The primary outcome was proportion...
To investigate the effect of moxibustion on central insulin resistance related proteins rats suffering from diabetic cognitive decline, and analyze underlying mechanism for cognition improvement. Using intraperitoneal injection STZ combined with a high-fat diet, rat model decline were prepared. Twenty successfully-modeled assigned randomly into group group, 10 in each one. Besides, blank was set up collected. In suspending applied to "Baihui" (GV20), "Shenting" (GV24) "Dazhui" (GV14) at same...
The paper summarizes Professor YANG Jun's experience in treatment of refractory facial paralysis with the refined mode acupuncture and moxibustion, so as to provide new ideas methods for disease treated moxibustion. Jun puts forward diagnosis moxibustion paralysis. On basis syndrome/pattern differentiation TCM, combined meridian theory modern anatomy, symptom are performed accurately. By selecting local acupoints (e.g. Touwei [ST8], Sibai [ST2], Cuanzhu [BL2] Yangbai [GB14]), distal Zusanli...
To investigate the effects of acupuncture on muscle strength and fatigue levels facial muscles patients with Bell's paralysis in acute stage, using surface electromyography. Sixty diagnosed were randomly assigned to an observation group (30 cases) a control cases). In group, routine was applied Quanliao (SI18), Yangbai (GB14), Yifeng (TE17), Jiache (ST6) Dicang (ST4) affected side Hegu (LI4) healthy side. The needles retained for 30 min, delivered once every two days. prednisone acetate...
To investigate the effect of moxibustion on hippocampal mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins in rats with vascular dementia (VD), so as to reveal underlying mechanisms treating VD. SD were randomly divided into sham operation, model, and medication groups, 12 each group. The VD model was prepared using an improved bilateral common carotid artery ligation method. Mild moxibstion applied "Shenting" (GV24), "Baihui" (GV20) "Dazhui" (GV14) for 20 min, once daily 6 days per week. Rats group...
We sought to use the regional homogeneity (ReHo) approach as an index in resting-state functional MRI investigate gender differences of spontaneous brain activity within cerebral cortex and networks (RSNs) young adult healthy volunteers.One hundred twelve volunteers (56 males, 56 females) participated fMRI scan. The ReHo mappings RSNs male female groups were compared.We found statistically significant primary visual network (PVN) (P < 0.004, with Bonferroni correction) left attention (LAtN),...
Objectives To investigate the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) alteration whole brain in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD). Materials and Methods Thirty SIVD 35 control subjects were included this study. All them underwent structural MRI rs-fMRI scan. The data processed using voxel-based morphometry 8 toolbox (VBM8). Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8) Data Processing Assistant for Resting-State fMRI (DPARSF) software. Within-group analysis was...
Most previous studies of brain responses to acupuncture were designed investigate the instant effect while cumulative that should be more important in clinical practice has seldom been discussed. In this study, neural basis was analyzed. For experiment, forty healthy volunteers recruited, which than 40 minutes repeated stimulation implemented at acupoint Zhusanli (ST36). Three runs fMRI datasets acquired, with each run consisting two blocks stimulation. Besides general linear model (GLM)...
Bell's palsy is the most common cause of acute facial nerve paralysis. In China, frequently treated with acupuncture. However, its efficacy and underlying mechanism are still controversial. this study, we used functional MRI to investigate effect acupuncture on connectivity brain in patients healthy individuals. The were further grouped according disease duration motor performance. results resting-state show that induces significant changes primary somatosensory region both early late...
This study aimed to explore the effect of moxibustion at Governor Vessel (GV) acupoints, including Baihui (GV 20), Shenting 24) and Dazhui 14) for 14 days on glial vascular unit (GVU) in rats with multiple microinfarctions (MMI), its action mechanism.
Aberrations in brain microcirculation and the associated increase blood-brain-barrier (BBB) permeability addition to neuroinflammation Adeposition observed Alzheimer's disease (AD) ischemia have gained considerable attention recently. However, role of microvascular homeostasis as a pathogenic substrate disturbed microperfusion well an overlapping etiologic mechanism between AD has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we employ temporal histopathology cerebral vasculature rat model...
Acupuncture is recommended for the relief of chronic tinnitus in traditional Chinese medicine, but underlying neural mechanism remains unclear. The human brain a dynamic system, and it's unclear about acupuncture's effects on functional connectivity (DFC) tinnitus. Therefore, this study based resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) investigates abnormal DFC patients activity change evoked by acupuncture treatment In study, 17 22 age- sex-matched normal subjects were recruited, their...
Introduction Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease in the elderly. Patients suffer from long-term chronic pain and reduced life quality. Acupuncture has been proven to be an effective treatment for KOA. However, neural mechanism of acupuncture unclear, so far. Periaqueductal gray (PAG) raphe nuclei (RPN) are essential structures associated with human brains. This study aims investigate functional connectivity (FC) changes PAG RPN KOA interpret acupuncture. Methods In 15 patients healthy...
As a common secondary disease, edema after traumatic brain injury (TBI) can increase volume, resulting in elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), shift, and cerebral hernia, eventually lead to death. The real-time continuous monitoring of may significantly reduce mortality disability. In this paper, dual-parameter synchronous system based on the reflection transmission characteristics two-port test network was established; 15 rabbits were chosen perform 24-h phase shift (RPS) (TPS)...
Cerebral edema (CE) is a non-specific pathological swelling of the brain secondary to any type neurological injury. The real-time monitoring focal CE mostly found in early stage great significance reduce mortality and disability. Magnetic Induction Phase Shift (MIPS) expected achieve non-invasive continuous CE. However, most existing MIPS sensors are made hard materials which makes it difficult accurately retrieve information. In this article, we designed conformal two-coil structure...
In recent years, neuroimaging studies of acupuncture have explored extensive aspects brain responses to in finding its underlying mechanisms. Most these been performed on healthy adults. Only a few patients with diseases. Brain the same disease at different pathological stages not explored, although it may be more important and helpful uncovering present study, we used fMRI compare Bell’s palsy normal controls found that response varied palsy. The decreased early stages, increased later...
Bell’s palsy (BP), a unilateral and idiopathic of the facial nerve, is common disorder generally followed by good natural recovery. The aim this study was to investigate relationship between functional connectivity anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) recovery process BP. Thirty-seven healthy volunteers 67 patients were studied MRI (fMRI). seed regions bilateral ACC first extracted from task-state fMRI data participants performing task mouth opening closing. calculated resting-state in whom only...
