To investigate the rehabilitating effect of acupuncture plus kinetotherapy for early hemiplegia due to cerebral apoplexy. Methods:Fifty cases of apoplectic hemiplegia were treated by acupuncture plus kinetotherapy and were compared with another fifty cases treated by single medications,in the therapeutic effect and for follow-up observation. Results:After the treatment for one month on average,the remarkable effective rate was 82% in the rehabilitation group and 54% in the control group,in a significant difference (P<0.05). After the treatment,the scores in the motor function of the limbs and daily life ability were obviously increased in the rehabilitation group,and there was a significant difference in comparison with the control group (P<0.05). Moreover,there was a good regulatory effect on blood rheology and blood lipid in the rehabilitation group. Conclusion:A combination of acupuncture and kinetotherapy has a better effect on apoplectic hemiplegia than single medications.

Objective To observe the effects of Najia method of midday-midnight point selection for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) model rats onthe contents of NSE and S100B protein in serum. Methods SPF SD male rats were chosen to establish the models by middle cerebral artery bolt method. Rats were divided into blank group, sham-operation group, model group, channel-point group, and Najia method group by random number table method. Blank group, sham-operation group, and model group were in the absence of treatment, while the channel-point group received acupuncture treatment according to differentiation syndrome. Najia method group used Najia method of midday-midnight point selection to conduct acupuncture treatment once a day. Improvement of neural function and cerebral infarction volume were observed. The contents of NSE and S100B protein in serum were detected. Results Compared with model group, neurological function score, infarct volume and infarct volume percentage, and the contents of NSE and S100B protein in serum decreased in Najia method group and channel-point group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The effects of Najia group were generally better than the channel-point group. Conclusion Najia method of midday-midnight point selection can decrease the content of NSE and S100B protein in serum of AIS model rats, so as to achieve the effects of neuroprotection and treatment.
