[Case of intractable beriberi treated with acupuncture of 's three-promotion needling method].

The paper introduces one case of intractable beriberi treated with acupuncture of 's three-promotion needling method. The patient visited the hospital because of "repeated redness and swelling of the feet, combined with itching for over 2 years, aggravated in recent 2 days on the left foot". The chief complaints included redness and swelling of the left foot, with the normal walking disturbed, poor appetite, and abdominal distention after meal.

Load-bearing columns inspired fabrication of ductile and mechanically enhanced BSA hydrogels.

Currently, protein-based hydrogels are widely applied in soft materials, tissue engineering and implantable scaffolds owing to their excellent biocompatibility, and degradability. However, most protein-based hydrogels are soft brittle. In this study, a ductile and mechanically enhanced bovine serum albumin (BSA) hydrogel is fabricated by soaking the a 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) induced BSA hydrogel in (NH)SO solution.

Fabricating the multibranch carboxyl-modified cellulose for hemorrhage control.

Excessive bleeding is associated with a high mortality risk. In this study, citric acid and ascorbic acid were sequentially modified on the surface of microcrystalline cellulose (MCAA) to increase its carboxyl content, and their potential as hemostatic materials was investigated. The MCAA exhibited a carboxylic group content of 9.

[Development and analysis of clinical prediction model of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for stroke at recovery stage].

Objective: To develop the clinical prediction model of therapeutic effect in treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion for the patients with stroke at recovery stage under different conditions so as to provide a tool for predicting the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Methods: A total of 1410 patients with stroke at recovery stage were collected from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from 2012 to 2019. The relevant data were extracted, i.

[Professor -'s experience in "quick and slow needling technique" of acupuncture].

On the base of the theory on "the subtlety of acupuncture relying on the quick or slow needle insertion by the timing" recorded in the Chapter One of () and the clinical application, professor - created three core factors of "quick and slow needling technique" of acupuncture and summarized in the paper. The speed of after needle insertion indicates the rising and falling of vital and pathogen in the body, which guides the selection of corresponding reinforcing or reducing needling techniques. At the stage of needle manipulation and the regulation of activity, the quick or slow insertion and withdrawal of needle and needle manipulation, as well as the duration of needle retaining may control the speed of arrival.

[Professor -' clinical experiences in the identification and treatment of cranial tinnitus].

On the base of the relevant theories on disease identification of western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, professor - has made the differentiation of cranial tinnitus and proposes the intervention measures. The location of disease is identified firstly. Secondly, the deficiency is distinguished from the excess, and the involved organs are determined as well.

[Electroacupuncture combined with PNF on proprioception and motor function of lower limbs in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and correlation of electroacupuncture combined with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on proprioception and motor function of lower limbs in stroke patients.

Methods: A total of 96 stroke patients were randomized into an electroacupuncture (EA) group, a PNF group and a combination group, 32 cases in each one. In the EA group, acupuncture was applied at cephalic motor and sensory areas, Huantiao (GB 30), Yanglingquan (GB 34), Xuanzhong (GB 39), Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) on affected side, and electroacupuncture was adopted at Yanglingquan (GB 34) and Xuanzhong (GB 39), continuous wave and 2 Hz in frequency for 20 min, once every day.

[Clinical efficacy of warm needling therapy on cervical spondylosis of neck type based on the theory of "treatment both for the neck and lumbus"].

Objective: To compare the difference in the short-term and long-term efficacy on cervical spondylosis of neck type between warm needling therapy in the regions of both neck and lumbus and that only in the region of neck.

Methods: Eighty-one patients of cervical spondylosis of neck type were randomized into group A (41 cases) and group B (40 cases), in which 2 cases dropped out. Finally, 40 cases in the group A and 39 cases in the group B accomplished the trial.
