4.Evolution of acupuncture techniques for jin diseases and the rise and fall of jingjin doctrine.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2023;43(8):855-867
It has the important enlightenment and reference significance for the inheritance and innovation of jin (sinew/fascia) diseases and its theoretic basis, jingjin (muscle region of meridian) doctrine by sorting out the origin of the acupuncture techniques for jin diseases and exploring the root of its rise and fall. Using context analysis, overall investigation and practice test, the paper elaborates the basic concepts, e.g. needling techniques for jin, jingjin, jinji (muscular contracture) and jiejin (knotted tendon), and jingjin doctrine. In particular, the three key concepts, i.e. fanzhen jieci (heating after needling), yizhi weishu (feelings from patients and acupuncture operators) and yitong weishu (the worst painful sites of muscle spasm) are deeply investigated. These three concepts, involved in the treatment of jingjin disorders, treatment principles and methods, are of a great controversy in the current academic circle. The author clarified the category of needling for jin disease and main needling techniques, investigated specially the origin of fanzhen jieci and guancifa (repeated needling directly on the foci), and explored the evolution of the needling methods that had been controversial or neglected for a long time, i.e. neire cifa (technique for inducing heat inside for cold obstruction), guancifa, tiaocifa (inserting the needles around the foci), fencifa (intramuscular needling) and mucifa (deep puncturing to the peritoneum or on front-mu points). Finally, from the relationship between jin and mai (meridian), and the differences between dry needling and acupuncture technique for jin diseases, the author explored the crucial problems and countermeasures urgently required in the future development of jingjin doctrine so as to provide the references for the theoretical innovation of acupuncture- moxibustion science.

5.On acupoints.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2023;43(10):1189-1201
Acupoint is the basis of acupuncture. To elaborate the theory of acupuncture, the structure and function of acupoint should be clarified in advance. By exploring the discussion upon the classification, distribution and structure of acupoint in Huangdi Neijing (Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor), qi zheng lun (on meridian points and extra points), jie jiao lun (on convergence of joints) and guan ji lun (on three-dimensional structure of acupoint) are extracted. Based on whether located on the fixed sites, acupoints are classified into meridian points and extra points, while the meridian points are divided into 4 categories, i.e maishu, gukong, qixue and muxue. The convergence of joints illustrates the principal rule of acupoint distribution. The density of the major and key acupoints is proportional to the size and the complexity of function of joints. Acupoint is recognized as a three-dimensional structure in consideration of its external distribution on the body surface and the substances inside the body, which can be explored and examined. In addition, the relationship between meridian points and extra points, the significance of meridian points in different conditions, and the approaches to acupoint study are deeply discussed and analyzed. The crucial problems and the way for solving them are proposed for the future study to provide the references to the inheritance and innovation of acupuncture.

6.Footprints on the foundation road of Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion in seventy years.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2021;41(11):1183-1190
The exploration and representative achievements of Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences are reviewed during the past 70 years since its foundation in the basic research field, e.g. theoretic innovation, literature research, cultural relic study and museum construction, as well as acupuncture-moxibustion standardization. Besides, the analysis is conducted on the relevant aspects that needs to be improved or enhanced. Facing the future and reviewing the original aspiration, the approaches to the new journey of inheritance and innovation in Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion have been explored, i.e. discovering rules, creating innovation methods, constructing platform and refining essence.

7.Standard expression of indications of acupoints.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2007;27(11):823-827
The present paper systematically investigates basic characteristics and development law of acupoint indication expression, and put forward on the basis that expression standards based on standardization, expression style of acupoint indication expression reflecting acup-moxibustion own law, that is, summarization by treatment ranges and expression style by example of typical diseases.

Objective To study the correlation of multi-slice CT portography (MSCTP) and digestive endoscopy in the diagnosis and evaluation of esophageal and gastric varices (EGV) caused by cirrhosis.Methods A total of 92 patients with cirrhosis were enrolled in the prospective study.All the patients were examined by endoscopy and 64-slice spiral CT scan in 4 weeks.The types,grading of EGV were observed by endoscopy and MSCTP,and Kappa conformance test was applied with the endoscopic findings as gold standard.The sensitivity,specificity,consistency,and Youden index were evaluated for the diagnosis of sophageal and gastric varices by MSCTP.Results Sixty-five patients were diagnosed to have EGV by endoscopy and 27 were negative.The positive patients included 45 patients of GOV1,19 of GOV2 and 1 patient of IGV1.MSCTP diagnosed 67 cases of EGV and 25 patients of negative results.The positive patients included 46 of GOV1,18 of GOV2 and 3 of IGV1.Two patients of IGV1 varicose veins without positive findings on endoscopy were diagnosed by using MDCTP,which revealed isolated varicose veins under the gastric mucosa.There was high consistency between MSCTP and EGV in the diagnosis of EGV (Kappa =0.732,P < 0.01).The sensitivity of MSCTP was 93.8%,specificity was 77.8%,consistency was 89.1%,and Youden index 71.6%.There was high consistency between MSCTP and EGV in the classification of EGV (Kappa values were 0.743 and 0.763,P < 0.01).Conclusions There is high consistency between MSCTP and digestive endoscopic in the diagnosis and classification of EGV in cirrhosis.MSCTP is superior to endoscopy in the detection of gastric varices.

Objective To investigate the changes of thyroid hormone in peritoneal dialysis patients and analyse its impact factors, as well as the therapeutic effects of small dose of thyroxine.Methods 150 uremic patients in Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital from December 2013 to December 2014 were selected, 70 cases of uremia non-dialysis patients were divided into group A, while 80 uremia peritoneal dialysis for more than half a year were divided into group B.70 cases healthy examinees during the same period in our hospital were selected as control group ( group C ) . The total triiodothyronine (T3), total thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), serum creatinine (SCr), C reactive protein (CRP) and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) , subjective global assessment of nutritional act ( SGA) and other indicators were detected in three groups.Patients in group B were divided into two sub-groups according to thyroid hormone levels: B1 group had normal thyroid level while B2 abnormal.And the administration of small dose of thyroid hormone was given to patients in group B2, and the effect of the administration was evaluated by the above indexes.Results The FT3 in group A and B were significantly lower than that in group C (P<0.01).There were significant differences of levels of ALB, CRP, SGA between group B1 and group B2, and the FT3 level in group B was significant correlated with SGA, ALB, LVEF(r=0.815,P<0.001;r=0.780,P<0.001;r=0.953,P<0.001).After treated with small dose of thyroid hormone, FT3 and LVEF were improved while FT4, TSH, ALB, SGA, CRP were not improved in group B2.Conclusion The thyroid hormone level in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis decreases which is dominated with FT3.The decreased thyroid level is significantly correlated with nutrition ( ALB, SGA) and left ventricular function.The administration of small dose of thyroid hormone can improve the left ventricular systolic function.
