Clinical study on painless labor under drugs combined with acupuncture analgesia

To study the analgesia efficacy of drugs combined with acupuncture analgesia for painless labor, 462 normal pregnancy women were observed. During the latent phase in labor, several analgesia methods: acupuncture analgesia, analgesics, magnetotherapy and auricular acupressure, TENS combined with dihydroetorphine were used respectively. While the intrauterine pressure and the peripheral content of beta-EP were measured during labor, the experiments of SEPS were also performed on healthy adults to demonstrate the analgesia efficacy of those analgesia methods. The combination of drugs with acupuncture is an excellent method for painless labor without any complications and all the mothers and babies are safety. The effectiveness is 97.5%. The results demonstrate that the mechanism of analgesia efficacy should be regulated the incoordinate uterine action and improve the hypertonic status of uterus, but also can decrease the pain threshold and elevate the tolerance of uterine contractions during labor.

The effects of belief on acupuncture analgesia.

24 undergraduates who had indicated either a high or low level of belief in acupuncture-induced analgesia received either acupuncture or a pseudo-acupuncture treatment prior to a 60-sec cold-pressor test. Ss also completed the State scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory at the beginning of the experiment and provided ratings of pain intensity during the cold-pressor test. Ss who held positive beliefs about the effectiveness of acupuncture and who received actual acupuncture treatment reported lower pain than did Ss with negative beliefs and those who received pseudo-acupuncture. Anxiety ratings did not differ between groups. The ratings of belief in acupuncture shown by the 2 groups tended to converge after treatment. Results suggest that differences in the analgesic effects of acupuncture are influenced by expectancy effects and the degree to which expectations are confirmed during the treatment procedure.

Experience in using acupuncture reflexotherapy combined with weight-reducing diet therapy in hypertension

AIM: To study the effectiveness of acupuncture in combination with unload diet against hypertension. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 137 patients with mild hypertension have undergone unload diet therapy or therapeutic fasting in combination with acupuncture. Acupuncture therapy was carried out according to the physiological model. The unload diet therapy was performed according to the method of Iu. S. Nikolaev and consisted of voluntary fasting. RESULTS: The treatment resulted in a decrease of cholesterol levels and blood pressure, positive trend in ECG. For 3 years 20 patients with mild hypertension had normal blood pressure. They kept on diet, had short-term courses of fasting, exercised in free-choice regimen. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture in combination with diet therapy are recommended for treatment of blood hypertension. They can be used alone or in combination with drug therapy.     

Clinical evaluation of combined use of miconazole and G-CSF on deep-seated mycoses in patients with gynecological cancers

DFGF-R1 (breathless), a Drosophila FGF receptor homolog, is required for the migration of tracheal cells and the posterior midline glial cells during embryonic development. To define the role of this receptor in cell migration, we have monitored the biological effects of a deregulated receptor containing the extracellular and transmembrane regions of the torso dominant allele and the cytoplasmic domain of DFGF-R1. Ubiquitous expression of the chimeric receptor at the time of tracheal cell migration did not disrupt migration in wild-type embryos. However, induction of the chimeric receptor corrected the tracheal defects of breathless (btl) mutant embryos, allowing the tracheal cells to migrate along their normal tracts. This result indicates that the normal activity of DFGF-R1 in promoting cell migration does not require spatially restricted cues. Late inductions of the chimeric construct, after the normal initiation of tracheal migration, allowed the definition of a broad time window during which the external signals guiding migration persist and the tracheal cells retain the capacity to respond to these cues. Rescue of tracheal migration in btl mutant embryos by the chimeric construct provides a sensitive biological assay for the activity of other Drosophila receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Deregulated receptors containing the cytoplasmic domains of DFGF-R2, DER, torso, and sevenless were all able to partially rescue the migration defects. Consistent with the notion that these RTKs share a common signaling pathway, constructs containing the activated downstream elements Dras1 and Draf were also able to rescue tracheal migration, demonstrating that these two proteins are key players in the DFGF-R1 signaling pathway.     

The use of acupuncture reflexotherapy in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Efficiency was studied of multi-modality treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involving acupuncture (A). Indices were assessed for the number of the inflamed joints, the joint index, duration of the morning rigidity and visual scale of pain. Combined treatment of RA using A was found to more effectively lower the values for the joint index and visual scale of pain. A conclusion was reached to the effect that A may improve results of drug treatment.     

Clinical evaluation of side effects during immunotherapy with Catalet T in patients with hay fever

The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of side effects during specific immunotherapy with Catalet T and to compare the frequency of side effects between different groups of patients according to time of immunotherapy continuation (from 1 to 5 years). The study was carried on 100 patients aged from 12 to 58 years. The tolerance of Catalet was good. 83% of investigated patients finished the immunotherapy course with minimal or no side effects. The prevalence of side effects was the same independently from the time of immunotherapy.     

Effect of acupuncture on the regulation of cell-mediated immunity in the patients with malignant tumors

In order to investigate the role of acupuncture in the regulation of cellular immune function, we observed acupuncture therapy affecting the levels of T lymphocytes subgroup (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+), soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R) and beta-endorphin (beta-EP) in the peripheral blood of patients with malignant tumors. Here was used the random-gioland method, the patients were divided into a group treated by acupuncture (acup. group, 20 cases) and a control group (20 cases). The acup. group was treated using points PC6, LI4, ST36, RN4 and location of symptomatic points bilaterally, one treatment of 30 min daily for 10 days. The results showed that there were increased levels of CD3+, CD4+ percentage, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and radioimmunoassay of beta-EP in blood plasma, a decreased level of SIL-2R after acup. The statistical significance was found to be remarkable (P < 0.01), so has a notable difference, the correlation analysis indicated: (1) there was a positive correlation between beta-EP and T-lymphocytes subgroups; (2) a negative correlation between beta-Bp and SIL-2R, so did it between T subgroups and SIL-2R. Our results showed that beta-EP enhanced immune function of patients by increased T lymphocyte subgroups, reduced SIL-2R, and this action of beta-EP may be mediated by opioid receptor. The above mentioned results prevented evidence that there was an adjusting-network of immune in the body, through this way, acup. therapy can heighten the cellular immune function of patients, providing a beneficial effect in anti-cancer treatment.
