Objective To observe the efficacy of treating allergic rhinitis majorly by needling three nasal acupoints, and to provide a safe convenient and effective method for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.Method Sixty-two patients were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (31 cases) and a Western medication group (31 cases), and the acupuncture group was mainly treated by three nasal acupoints, and the Western medication group was by Clarityne. By comparing the symptoms and signs, the clinical efficacies were evaluated.Result The total effective rate was 87.1% in the acupuncture group, significantly higher than 76.7% in the Western medication group (P<0.01).Conclusion It’s effective to treat allergic rhinitis by adopting acupuncture at the three nasal acupoints as the major method.

s: Objective To establish an HPLC method to determine the contents of ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Re and ginsenoside Rb1 in Wenyang Zhenshuai Granules.Methods The separation was preformed on Agilent TC-C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitril-0.05% aqueous solution of phosphoric acid with gradient elution (0–35 min, 19% acetonitrile; 35–58 min, 19%–29% acetonitrile; 58–70 min, 28% acetonitrile; 70–100 min, 29%–40% acetonitrile). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; the wavelength of detector was 203 nm; the temperature of column was 35℃.Results The calibration curves showed good linearity in the range of 0.22–2.2 μg (ginsenoside Rg1,r=0.9998), 0.22–2.2 μg (ginsenoside Re,r=0.9998) and 0.26–2.6 μg (ginsenoside Rb1,r=0.9991), respectively. The average recoveries of ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside Re and ginsenoside Rb1 were 98.04%, 96.58% and 96.75%, respectively.Conclution The method is accurate, hypersensitized and reproducible, which can be applied to the quality control of Wenyang Zhenshuai Granules.
