Surgery of the parotid gland is usually indicated for the relief of an inflammatory disorder or for control of neoplasia. In all these procedures, the overriding critical factor is the management of the facial nerve. The facial nerve is embedded within the substance of the gland and is at risk of injury during any parotid gland operation. The various surgical approaches described in our study comprised a common thread, the surgeon’s awareness of facial nerve anatomy and efforts to protect the nerve from an inadvertent injury.

In order to address conflicting accounts of the Huiyin-vessel and CV1 (Huiyin) in the Wang Bing version of "Huang-di nei-jing Su Wen", we analyzed the origins of the Huiyin-vessel based on its relationship to hemorrhoids in ancient sources on the topic. Furthermore, by considering the curing methods used by health scholars during the Warring States period in China and hemorrhoid treatments until the Song dynasty, we demonstrated the specificity of the posterior yin (anus) and identified the reason behind moving the location of the Huiyin-vessel. We also clarified the way of determining the location of CV1 (Huiyin) and factors that have until now caused confusion related to CV1 (Huiyin).

[Objective]Although “If it is not thriving but it is surviving, maintain it with Sutra ”is considered the most important treatment principle in acupuncture, its interpretation is confusing and inconsistent. Thus, in order to clarify this principle, we examined its original meaning and report the results here.
[Method]After investigating the source of “If it is not thriving but it is surviving, maintain it with Sutra ”within the “Huang-di nei-jing”(traditional Chinese medical text) and revealing the state of past research regarding this principle and its associated problems, we identified its background and used the “Zhangjiashan Han bamboo text Maishu”and “Dashu ,”which are only quoted in the “Jin fu” chapter of the Huangdi Neijing-Lingshu (the Yellow Emperor’s Canon), to trace a path back to the roots of “If it is not thriving but it is surviving, maintain it with Sutra ”and to elucidate its original meaning.
[Results]We were able to confirm that although there have heretofore been a total of four theories and 13opinions, none have been rationally interpreted.
[Conclusion]The facts that 1. “If it is not thriving but it is surviving, maintain it with Sutra”is based on a method of diagnosing pulses across the entire body, 2. the interpretation of the “Jin fu”chapter of the Huangdi Neijing-Lingshu contradicts the “Dashu ,”which is quoted in this text, and 3. the statement in the “Zhangjiashan Han bamboo text Maishu”that “when it is calm, then maintain it ”is the original form of “If it is not thriving but it is surviving, maintain it with Sutra ,”suggest that the original meaning of “If it is not thriving but it is surviving, maintain it with Sutra ”was likely that in cases where the form and rhythm of a pulse were normal, it should not be treated but instead addressed as usual.
