[Effect of moxibustion on autophagy lysosome function mediated by mTOR/TFEB pathway and lncRNA H19 expression in APP/PS1 double transgenic mice].

Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion (Moxi) at acupoints of Governor Vessel on autophagy lysosomal function and lncRNA H19 in amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1 (APP/PS1) double transgenic Alzheimer's disease (AD) mice, so as to explore its underlying mechanisms in relieving AD.

Methods: Fifty two male APP/PS1 double transgenic AD mice were randomly divided into model, Moxi, Moxi+inhibitor and medication (rapamycin) groups, with 13 mice in each group. Other 13 male C57BL/6J mice of the same age were selected as the control group.

['s academic thought and clinical application of "three-phase moxibustion sensation"].

This paper collects professor 's academic thought, "three-phases moxibustion sensation" and expounds its clinical value. Proposed by professor , in accordance with the occurrence and development characteristics of the moxibustion propagated sensation, three time phases of moxibustion propagated sensation are divided, i.e.

[Effect of moxibustion on cognitive function and proteins related with apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in rats with vascular dementia].

Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion on proteins related with apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in rats with vascular dementia (VD), and to explore the possible mechanism of moxibustion on improving VD.

Methods: Thirty SD rats were selected from 100 rats (3 rats were excluded) and randomly divided into a normal group and a sham operation group, 15 rats in each group. The remaining 67 rats were treated with ischemia-reperfusion method at bilateral common carotid artery to establish VD model.

['s experience in treatment of Sjögren's syndrome with moxibustion for promoting meridian circulation and warming ].

Professor -'s clinical experience is summarized in the treatment of Sjögren's syndrome with moxibustion for promoting meridian circulation and warming and the typical case is introduced. Professor believes that Sjögren's syndrome refers to (dry) syndrome. It is the insufficiency of and body fluid for the primary and deficiency for the root.

[Clinical research on cake-separated moxibustion for impaired glucose regulation].

Objective: To observe clinical curative effect of cake-separated moxibustion on impaired glucose regulation (IGR) and explore its action mechanism.

Methods: Sixty cases were randomly divided into a simple lifestyle intervention group (control group) and a cake-separated moxibustion combined with lifestyle intervention group (observation group), 30 cases in each one. The control group was treated with lifestyle intervention.

[Discussion on twenty four moxibustion styles of Meihua acupuncture-moxibustion school].

Nomination, apparatus, manipulating techniques, indications and theoretical basis of 14 single moxibustion styles including Chuijiu (insufflating moxibustion), Dianjiubi Jiu (pecking moxibustion with a pen-like stool), Jiujia Xunjiu (moxibustion with frame), Tongmai Wenyang Jiu (moxibustion for removing meridian obstructions and warming up yang), QifuJiu (moxibustion on umbilicus and abdomen), Xiongyang Jiu (moxibustion on the chest for reinforcing yang qi), Toujing Jiu (moxibustion on head and neck), Anmo Jiu (moxibustion with massage), Zhiti Jiu (moxibustion on extremities), Guan Jiu (moxibustion with a tube), Zu Jiu (moxibustion on foot), Wenzhenjiu (warm needling), Huanong Jiu (festering moxibustion) and Gewu Jiu (indirect moxibustion) are expounded in this article. And 10 compound moxibustion with the combination of 2 or more than 2 above mentioned single moxibustion style under the instruction of combination of local and distal points, combination of upper and lower points as well as combination of frontal and back points are also stated. It suggests to classify moxibustion into categories of festering moxibustion and mild moxibustion, indirect moxibustion and direct moxibustion, and to classify moxibustion apparatus into the categories of treating tools and assisting tools.
