Objective: To observe the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on the recovery of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia.
Methods: Sixty patients (ASA Ⅱ-Ⅲ) selected for scheduled gastrointestinal surgery were randomly divided into control group and TEAS group (=30 cases per group). Patients in the two groups received general anesthesia, and those of the TEAS group also received TEAS for 30 min (8-12 mA) immediately after surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a non-invasive therapy that's easy to use and well-received by patients, making it popular in clinical settings.
- The article outlines TEAS's benefits, including pain relief, digestion support, improved blood circulation, better postoperative cognitive function, and enhanced immune response during the perioperative period.
- It also discusses challenges in using TEAS effectively in this context, with the goal of encouraging more widespread clinical application.
Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) of different intensities on lactate dehydrogernase (LDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and ATPase in brain tissue of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CI/R).
Methods: Forty male SD rats were uniformly randomized into sham operation group (group A), CI/R group (group B), CI/R+5 mA EA (group C), CI/R+3 mA EA (group D) and CI/R+1 mA EA (group E) groups with eight rats in each group. Transient general brain ischemia was induced by four-vessel occlusion and reperfusion.
