A questionnairing was conducted on those who had graduated from acupuncture schools for last three years. 288 questionnaires, that is, 28.8% of the total were answerd.
As the result, 41% of the graduates are practicing, 27% are working for institutions connected with acupuncture, and 28% are working in hospitals.
Combining present practitioners and those who are to start practice, it seems 76% of the graduates enter practice; most of the graduates aim at setting up practice. Which course to be taken makes the difference in medical charge, the number of patients, and their annual income.

Objective To study the antigen presenting function of keratinocytes to CD8 + T cells with specific TCR.Methods PAM212transfectants,which express H-2K b /ovalbumin complex,aa257-264,were used as stimulating cells,and naive or primed CD8 + T cells with ovalbumin specific TCR were used as respon-ders.3 H-thymidin uptake values were used as indicators of T cell proliferation.Results With prestimulation of IFN-?,the proliferation of primed T cells but not naive T cells could be stimulated by PAM-OK cells.Conclusion Keratinocytes have the potential to stimulate the proliferation of TCR specific CD8 + T cells,which might explain the persistence of local immune reaction in some involved skin.
