Objective] This paper aims to excavate the acupuncture clinical characteristics of Hua Tuo and its clinical value, in order to promote the inheritance and development of acupuncture and moxibustion science. [Methods] To summarize the acupuncture clinical characteristics of Hua Tuo through arranging and epurating from classical books which recording about Hua Tuo. [Results] The clinical characteristics in acupuncture of Hua Tuo are scattered in several classic medical or non-medical books, including Records of Three Kingdoms, History of the Later Han Dynasty, Hua Tuo Biography, Zhongzang Canon, Internal Illumination Method, Hua Tuo Shen Yi Mi Chuan, Prescriptions for Emergent Reference and so on. The acupuncture clinical characteristics of Hua Tuo are shown in several aspects:choose the best acupoints and pay attention to spirit management, not constrained by Yellow Emperor ’s Canon of Medicine and set up Hua Tuo Jiaji Point, advocate moxibustion and good at treatment of emergency, apply moxibustion according to the condition and pay attention to dosages of moxibustion, skillfully acupuncture manipulation and familiar under the needle;combined acupuncture and moxbustion and flexible application. [Conclusion] Hua Tuo had distinct characteristics in acupoint selection, mental state regulation, acupuncture manipulation, moxibustion method and so on, and played guiding role on contemporary acupuncture clinical and research work.

With deep acupuncture at Baliao points (eight sacral foramina) as the core, Professor WANG Ling-ling has treated diseases of urinary, digestive and reproductive systems with superior therapeutic effect. The key for efficacy of Baliao points is deep acupuncture. Only deeply insert into acupoints with long needles and directly stimulate at sacral nerves, could Baliao points play a superior role in treatment effect. Searching acupoints is the basis of deep acupuncture, and superficial anatomy should be combined to summarize the methods of searching Baliao points. The premise of deep acupuncture is needling manipulation. The angles of needles must be adjusted according to morphological features of posterior sacral foramina, or it is hard to practice deep acupuncture into Baliao points. The description of location and manipulation on Baliao points in ancient and modern literature was vague, which restricts clinical application of Baliao points. A lot of research on location, manipulation and clinical application of Baliao points has performed by Professor WANG Ling-ling, and its manipulation and clinical cases are introduced to make a positive effect on its application and popularization.

WANG Ji's opinion on moxibustion therapy in Questions and answers of acupuncture and moxibustion (Zhenjiu Wendui) was explored and analyzed. With his two contraindications of moxibustion as breakthrough points, the arrangement and discussion was performed. The results showed that based on summary of moxibustion treatment theory before Ming dynasty, WANG Ji could provide characteristic idea, which is of great reference value and guide significance to the inheritance and development of moxibustion.

OBJECTIVETo observe effects of mild moxibustion and lovastatin on immunologic function in rabbits with chronic hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis (AS) to initially explain regulating rules of mild moxibustion on immunologic function.

METHODSAmong thirty-two Japanese male big-ear rabbits, 8 rabbits were randomly selec ted as a blank group, the rest 24 rabbits were fed with method of endothelial injury and high-fat diet to establish AS model. The blank group was raised with normal diet and free water. After ten weeks of model establishment, the rest 24 rabbits were randomly divided into a model group, a moxibustion group and a medicine group, eight rabbits in each one. Moxibustion was applied at "Shenque" (CV 8) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) for 10 min per acupoint per day in the moxibustion group, while intragastric administration of 3.6 mg/kg lovastatin capsule was applied in the medicine group. After treatment, serum was acquired. Spectrophotometry method was adapted to measure cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and evaluated atherosclerosis index (AI), while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to measure interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4).

RESULTS(1) The serum TC and HDL-C in the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank group, moxibustion group and medicine group (all P < 0.01). The mean value of AI was 1.683 +/- 0.486 in the moxibustion group, which was obviously lower than 20.301 +/- 4.022 in the model group (P < 0.01). (2) The ratio of Th1/Th2 was 0.569 +/- 0.143 in the moxibustion group and 0.445 +/- 0.079 in the medicine group, which were significantly lower than 0.917 +/- 0.255 in the model group (both P < 0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference between the moxibustion group and the medicine group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe moxibustion for AS could reduce atherosclerosis index, influence drift and bias of helper T cell and regulate balance between humoral immunity and cellular immunity. As a result, status of relative balance of immunity is acquired, which could slow down the development of atherosclerosis and process of thrombus burst.

Objective To investigate current health status of medical professionals in Guangdong Province to provide evidence for individualized health management. Methods Based on multi-stage stratified sampling method,3872 medical professional from 56 hospitals in Guangdong Province were enrolled and completed a self-designed questionnaire. The results were collected and compared using descriptive analysis, K-S test, Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression. Results A total of 3687 (95.2%) feed-backs were collected,of which 3502 (95.0%) could be used. Insomnia was the most serious problem among nurses (68. 9% ). The incidence rate of sub-health condition was 58. 2%. First-line clinical work,female, long working experience, tertiary hospital, no physical activity and insomnia were correlated with more serious sub-clinical health. Conclusion Unhealthy life style and sub-heahh problems negatively impact health of medical professional. Therefore, supervisors should pay more attention to those with certain characteristics.

Objective To investigate the effect of emodin on immune suppression function of regulatory T cells in a mouse model of CT26 colon cancer. Methods Twenty-four mice were divided into the negative control group, the emodin group and the tumor group. The populations of CD8+CD3+T cells, the T cells producing IFN-γand the CD4+CD25+Tregs secreting IL-10 in different mouse tissues were detected by flow cytometry. Levels of IFN-γ, TNF- β1 and IL-10 in serum were determined by ELISA. Results Emodin could significantly increase the percent of CD8+CD3+T cells in tumor (P < 0.05) and improve the ability of IFN-γ secretion in T cells from peripheral blood and lymph nodes (P < 0.05). Emodin could reduce the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-β1 and IL-10 in the serum (P < 0.01) and inhibit IL-10 secretion in CD4+CD25+ Tregs (P < 0.01). Conclusion Emodin possesses the antitumor effect by affecting the immunosuppressive function of Tregs cells.
