[Program optimization in the stage treatment of periarthritis of shoulder with acupuncture, moxibustion and positive functional exercise].

Objective: To optimize the therapeutic programs for periarthritis of shoulder treated with acupuncture, moxibustion and kinetohterapy with orthogonal design method adopted.

Methods: The orthogonal design table of L8 (2(7)) hierarchical principle was used to randomly divide 192 patients of periarthritis of shoulder into 8 groups, 24 cases in each one. Separately, 4 factors and each different 2 levels were adopted in treatment, named acupuncture timing (factor A: A, acute stage, A2 adhesion stage), acupoint combination (factor B: B, local acupoints, B2 local acupoints and distal acupoints along meridians), filiform needling and warm needling therapy (factor C: C1 acupuncture with filiform needle, CZ acupuncture with filiform needle and warm needling therapy) and positive functional exercise (factor D: D1 without positive functional exercise, D2 with positive functional exercise).

[Effects of heavenly stem-prescription of point selection of needling methods of Ziwu Liuzhu on ischemic cerebrovascular diseases].

Objective: To observe effects of heavenly stem-prescription of point selection of the needling methods of midnight-noon ebb-flow on motorial and neurological functional deficit of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.

Methods: The patients were randomly divided into a Ziwu Liuzhu group and a channel acupoint selection group. In the channel acupoint selection group, Jianyu (LI 15), Quchi (LI 11), Waiguan (TE 5), Zusanli (ST 36) were selected, combined with selected acupoints by syndrome differentiation.

An electricity price model with consideration to load and gas price effects.

Some characteristics of the electricity load and prices are studied, and the relationship between electricity prices and gas (fuel) prices is analyzed in this paper. Because electricity prices are strongly dependent on load and gas prices, the authors constructed a model for electricity prices based on the effects of these two factors; and used the Geometric Mean Reversion Brownian Motion (GMRBM) model to describe the electricity load process, and a Geometric Brownian Motion(GBM) model to describe the gas prices; deduced the price stochastic process model based on the above load model and gas price model. This paper also presents methods for parameters estimation, and proposes some methods to solve the model.
