Objective: To investigate the efficacy of acupuncture of points of three hand yang meridians for treating postapoplectic finger contracture. Methods: Sixty patients with postapoplectic finger contracture were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture of points of three hand yang meridians and the control group, conventional acupuncture. The curative effects and posttreatment hand myodynamia scores were compared between the two groups. Results and Conclusion: All the cure rate, marked efficacy rate and total efficacy rate were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Hand myodynamia score was significantly lower after treatment than before in both groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups after treatment. It is indicated that clinical hand function was improved more in the treatment group than in the control group.

BACKGROUND:Anesthesia is a protective measure to animals in animal experiments, but the use of the corresponding anesthetic drugs wil have different effects on the experimental results.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the differences of various indexes and the therapeutic effect ofmyocardial ischemia canine model of coronary stenosis under the condition of consciousness and anesthesia.
METHODS:Twenty Beagle canine myocardial ischemia models were equaly assigned to five groups, and prepared according to the complete orthogonal Latin square arrangement for the experiment. Intervention procedures included the normal observation (normal control for 10 minutes, observation for 30 minues), conscious model (after normal control, coronary artery stenosis for 10 minutes, and observation for 30 minutes), conscious treatment (after normal control, coronary artery stenosis for 10 minutes, 50 μg/kg nitroglycerin sublingualy buccal, and observation for 30 minutes), anesthesia model (animals received anesthesia; after normal control, coronary artery stenosis for 10 minutes, and observation for 30 minutes), anesthesia treatment (animals received anesthesia; after normal control, coronary artery stenosis for 10 minutes, 50 μg/kg nitroglycerin sublingualy buccal, and observation for 30 minutes). Werecorded canine electrocardiogram, blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature level when animals were conscious after coronary artery stenosis, and mean arterial blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, electrocardiogram ST segment changes in conscious and anesthetic states in myocardial ischemia dogs, and observed the therapeutic effect of nitroglycerin on conscious and anesthetic states in myocardial ischemia dogs.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The electrocardiogram, blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature were changed after the coronary artery stenosis in conscious dogs, and the ST segment of electrocardiogram was significantly increased. The blood pressure and heart rate were significantly higher than that in the conscious state (P< 0.05),and the ST segment of electrocardiogram in dogs was significantly increased in conscious and anesthetic states. After the treatment of nitroglycerin, the effect was obvious in the myocardial ischemia model in conscious state. The results showed that the model of myocardial ischemia and the clinical fitting degree were higher, which could reduce the effect of anesthesia on the experimental results.
