Objective To explore the effect of different acupuncture stimuli on uterine micro-circulation of dysmenorrheal rats with cold stagnation syndrome. Methods Totally 32 three-month old female SD rats in diestrus were randomly divided into saline control group, model group, A stimuli group, and B stimuli group, 8 rats in each group. Model group and treatment groups were given whole body freezing combined with estradiol benzoate injection method to establish models. A stimuli group was given deep puncture with manipulation, while B stimuli group was treated by shallow puncture without manipulation. Diameter of uterine capillary,micro-vessel, TXB2, and 6-keto-PGF1αlevels were observed in each group. Results Compared with the saline group, capillary diameter in model group was significantly reduced at 5, 10, 20, 30 min time point (P<0.01);micro-vascular diameter was significantly reduced at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min time point (P<0.01);plasma 6-keto-PGF1α levels decreased (P<0.01);TXB2/6-keto-PGF1αincreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, capillary diameter in A stimuli group enlarged at 5, 10, 20, 30 min time point (P<0.05), micro-vascular diameter dilated at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min time point (P <0.01), plasma 6-keto-PGF1α level increased (P <0.05), TXB2/6-keto-PGF1αdecreased significantly (P<0.05);micro-vascular diameter in B stimuli group dilated at 20, 30 min time point (P<0.05), plasma TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α decreased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with B stimuli group, capillary diameter in A stimuli group dilated at 5, 10, 20, 30 min time point (P<0.05) and micro-vascular diameter dilated at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 min time point significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion Dysmenorrheal rats with cold stagnation syndrome show obvious disorder of the uterus micro-circulation and circulation related substances. Both A and B acupuncture stimuli improved uterus micro-circulation of dysmenorrheal rats with cold stagnation syndrome, and its mechanism may be related to the recovery the balance between TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α.

Objective Infrared thermal imaging can be applied to the diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of some diseases . The aim of this study is to explore acupuncture-induced changes in skin temperature in acupoint areas and whether skin temperature in -creases or decreases in the acupoint areas along meridians . Methods Thirty two female SD rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups:saline control,cold congealing and dysmenorrhea model , Sanyinjiao (SP6), and Guanyuan( CV4).Models were es-tablished in the latter three groups by subcutaneous injection of estradiol benzoate at 0.5 mg for 10 successive days and , 1hour after the last administration , intraperitoneal injection of oxytocin at 2 U, followed by exposure of the rats to-25℃in a freezer 4 hours a day for 5 days.Meanwhile , the control rats received normal saline only and were not exposed to low temperature .Infrared thermal imaging was used to measure the skin temperature at the acupoint areas of SP6, Xuehai (SP10), and CV4 before and at 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 min after needling . R esults At 0 to 5 min after nee-dling, the skin temperature of the left SP6 and right SP10 was signifi-cantly decreased in both the SP6 and CV4 groups ( [ -0. 56 ± 0.22]℃and [-0.48 ±0.11]℃, P<0.01), and so was that of the right SP10 ([ -0.64 ±0.21]℃ and [ -0.45 ±0.13]℃, P<0.05).At 5 to 10min, the skin temperature of the right SP6 and SP10 was markedly increased in the SP6 group ([-0.49 ±0.35]℃and [-0 .18 ±0.20]℃, P<0.01), and so was that of the right SP6 in the SP6 group at 20 to 30 min ([ -0.14 ±0.25]℃) as compared with the model and CV4 groups (P<0.01).At 30 to 40 min, the skin temperature of the right SP10 was remarkably elevat-ed in the SP6 group ([ -0.03 ±0.11]℃) in comparison with the model group (P<0.01).No significant differences were observed in the skin temperature of the left SP10 and CV4 at different time points among the four groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The skin temperature of SP6 and SP10 can be regulated by needling both the acupoints of SP 6 and CV4.The increase in the skin temperature of the right SP6 and SP10 in the SP6 group and no change in the CV 4 group indicated dynamic temperature changes in the acupoint area along the meridian after needling.

Objective To observe the analgesic effect of acupuncture at Guanyuan (CV4) and its effect on vasomotor substances in rats with dysmenorrhea due to coagulated cold syndrome. Method The coagulated-cold dysmenorrhea rat model was developed by Estrodiol benzoate and Oxytocin injectin plus physical freezing. The writhing response (writhing latency, writhing frequency, and writhing score) was observed, and the contents of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1a were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Result Compared with the saline water group, the writhing latency was significantly shortened, the writhing frequency was significantly increased, and the writhing score was more significantly increased in the model group (P<0.01);compared with the model group, the writhing latency was significantly prolonged, the writhing frequency was decreased, and the writhing score was significantly lower in the acupuncture group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with saline water group, the content of plasma 6-keto-PGF1a was significantly lower (P<0.05) and the content of plasma TXB2 showed an increasing tendency (P>0.05) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the content of plasma 6-keto-PGF1a showed an increasing tendency (P>0.05) and the content of plasma TXB2 showed a decreasing tendency (P>0.05) in the acupuncture group. Conclusion The vasomotor substances are obviously disordered in the blood of cold-coagulated dysmenorrhea rat models. Acupuncture at Guanyuan can improve the writhing response and release pain, and meanwhile positively regulate the vasomotor substances such as TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1a. The vasomotor substances are plausibly one of the major substances in the action of acupuncture in preventing and treating dysmenorrhea.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of cerebellar ataxia, neuropathy, vestibular areflexia syndrome (CANVAS) with replication factor C subunit 1 (RFC1) gene mutation to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods:A case of CANVAS diagnosed in the Peking University Third Hospital in January 2021 was reported. Detailed genetic analyses of ataxia were performed with DNA extracted from the peripheral blood of the patient. Studies including pathogenic variants of RFC1 gene causing CANVAS were reviewed and the clinical and genetic characteristics of the disease were summarized.Results:The patient was a 51-year-old female with the prominent manifestation of progressive walking instability. And the clinical data met the diagnostic criteria of CANVAS. The genetic tests excluded other hereditary ataxia mutations and identified the biallelic expansion of the pathogenic variant structure (AAGGG)exp repeat amplification in RFC1 gene. A total of 14 studies on CANVAS with RFC1 gene mutation were reviewed. The overall mutation rate of RFC1 gene in CANVAS was 68%-100%, and it varied in sporadic and familial CANVAS. And the mutation had ethnic differences.Conclusions:Among adult patients with late-onset ataxia, the combination of brain magnetic resonance imaging, electrophysiology tests and vestibular function examination is beneficial to the identification of CANVAS. And the genetic test of RFC1 gene has significant value in the diagnosis of this disease. This patient with CANVAS expands the disease spectrum of ataxia in China, and confirms that RFC1 gene mutation is of great significance in the screening of ataxia disorders in the Chinese population.

The researches on the acupoint effect specificity were summarized to explore whether the integrality of the acupoint effect specificity existed and analyze the connection between the relativity and integrality of the acupoint effect specificity. The literature on the clinical and experimental researches relevant with the acupoint effect specificity was retrieved through CNKI from January 2007 to October 2017. A total of 39 papers met the retrieving criteria. Separately, in terms of the holism of TCM theory, the holism of meridian theory and modern research, the integrality of acupoint effect specificity was analyzed. The relativity and the integrality are indicated in the acupoint effect specificity. The integrality of acupoint effect specificity is closely related to the holism of TCM theory as well as the meridians. Just because of its integrality, the acupoint effect specificity is relative, rather than absolute.

OBJECTIVE：To analysis the correlation between chrom aticity value and quality index of Atractylodis chinensis decoction piece powder stir-fired with bran ，and to determine its processing time. METHODS ：The processed samples of 16 batches of A. chinensis decoction piece stir-fired with bran （S0-S15，S0 is the raw product of A. chinensis ）were prepared ，and chromaticity values of all samples were determined ，such as lightness value （L*），yellow blue value （b*），red green value （a*）. UPLC fingerprint of sample were analyzed ，and the contents of extract and volatile oil were also determined. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between the chromaticity value and quality index （relative peak area of each chromatographic peak in UPLC fingerprint ，water-soluble extract content ，alcohol-soluble extract content and volatile oil content ）. Multivariate statistical analysis （principal component analysis ，cluster analysis ，partial least squares discriminant analysis ）was carried out with chromaticity value and quality index ，and the processing time of A. chinensis decoction piece stir-fired with bran was determined by grey correlation method. RESULTS ：In the process of bran frying ，with the extension of processing time ，L* and b* of decoction pieces powder decreased ，and a* increased first and then decreased ；relative areas of peak 1 and peak 2 increased first and then decreased，while relative areas of peak 3（5-hydroxymethyl furfural ）increased，and the areas of the other peaks decreased. The content of the extract did not change significantly with time ，and the content of the volatile oil decreased. The results of correlation analysis showed that the relative peak area of peak 2-27，alcohol-soluble extract content and volatile oil content had a certain correlation with the chromaticity value ，while the relative peak area of peak 1 and water-soluble extract content had no linear correlation with the chromaticity value. Results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that the samples were divided into mild （S0-S5），excessive （S12-S15），moderate （S6-processing time of 18-33 min）. The results of grey correlation method showed that the processing time of A. chinensis decoction piece stir-fired w ith bran should be controlled in the range of 18-24 min，and the optimal processing time was 18 min. CONCLUSIONS ：There is a correlation between chromaticity value of A. chinensis decoction piece powder stir-fired with bran and the relative peak area of 27 chromatographic peaks ，and content of extract and volatile oil. It is suggested that the processing time should be 18 min.
