Objectives: To explore the mechanism of core points in acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for epilepsy by using data mining technique, so as to provide a reference for clinical practice and experimental research.
Methods: The data comes from relevant documents collected from CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web of Science databases. The selected acupoints were analyzed in descriptive statistics, high-frequency acupoints group and core acupoint prescription.
Acupuncture Point Laterality: Investigation of Acute Effects of Quchi (LI11) in Patients with Hypertension Using Heart Rate Variability.
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med
August 2014
Article Synopsis
- * In this study, 60 hypertensive patients were divided into two groups to receive acupuncture on either the left or right Quchi acupoint, measuring heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV).
- * Results showed a significant decrease in heart rate immediately after stimulation and an increase in heart rate variability, although differences between the left and right acupoint effects were not significant.
Objectives: In the present study, we explored the prevalence rates and association factors of functional gastrointestinal disorders and the most common modes and frequencies of bowel habit among a cohort of Chinese adolescents.
Patients And Methods: A stratified, randomized study based on cross-sectional data was performed using cluster sampling, which recruited 3671 students in Shanghai, China. All of the students were requested to complete a questionnaire.
Objective: To investigate the family genetic background of a 22-year-old man with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type II (CN-II).
Methods: After the proband (patient) with CN-II was diagnosed by liver function tests, a low calorie intake test and an oral phenobarbital enzyme-induction trial, blood samples were collected from 11 family members for identifying DNA gene groups. Exons 1-5 of the UGT1A1 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and mutations of the UGT1A1 gene were screened by a direct DNA sequencing.
