Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion 2015;(5):421-423
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupoint application in treating senile hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type.Methods Sixty-six old patients with hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 33 cases each. The control group took nifedipine controlled release tablets and the treatment group received acupoint application in addition. The quality of life score was recorded in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficacy rate in reducing blood pressure was 90.0% in the treatment group and 84.8% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). The total efficacy rate in improving the symptoms was 90.9% in the treatment group and 69.7% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the quality of life score in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in the quality of life score between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Acupoint application is an effective way to treat senile hypertension of yin deficiency and yang excess type.

Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2001;36(4):206-208
Objective To investigate the changes and its clinical significance of plasma neuropeptide Y(NPY) concentration in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods Plasma NPY levels were detected by radioimmunoassay in 30 patients with PIH, 20 normal non-pregnant women and 23 normal pregnant women. The PIH group was subdivided into mild, moderate and Severe subgroups, and the NPY concentration was also measured in these subgroups respectively at admission and one week after delivery. Results The plasma NPY levels in patients with PIH [(164.16±68.32) ng/L] were significantly higher than those of normal non-pregnant women and normal pregnancies [(86.60±20.65) ng/L, (82.42±12.46) ng/L, P<0.01, respectively]. There was significant difference among plasma NPY levels among the patients with mild, moderate, and severe PIH at admission (P<0,01). At one week after delivery the concentrations of plasma NPY were significantly decreased in the moderate and severe subgroups compared with the value measured at admission (P<0.01). Moreover, the NPY levels in patients with severe PIH after delivery were still higher than those of normal non-pregnant women. Conclusions The results suggested that the level of NPY in plasma is increased in women with PIH. Elevated plasma NPY levels may play a key role in the development of PIH.
3.Application of a quantitative history for vasovagal syncope
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(6):541-544
Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness ( TLOC ),mainly with head-up tilt test (HUTT) for diagnosis and treatment evaluation.Beacause of potential risks in the process of HUTT,it is necessary to explore an early,accurate,safe,effective,inexpensive and convenient means of diagnosis and evaluation for VVS.The means of quantitative history are now in practice of clinical trials.The means commonly used are Calgary Presyncope Form (CPF)and three questionaires about point scores in the Calgary syncope symptom studies.Due to its stable,simple and easy to apply features,CPF has some advantages on assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods for VVS.The three questionnaires have some application potential in diagnosis for VVS.

Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;24(3):114-116
In recent years, the incidence of the allergic skin diseases is increasing as the growing of the pressure, the changes of the environment and other factors. The clinical features of the allergic skin diseases are easily repeated and in long course. It is found that the incidence of clinical allergic skin diseases, in addition to the season, diet and emotional relevant, is also closely linked to the physical deterioration of patients. Therefore, in addition to the emphasis on the treatment of the current symptoms of patients, adjustment and treatment of phsical constitution of patients and improvement of the adaptability of patients to environmental changes should attract attention, thereby reducing the frequency of incidence and alleviating the symptoms. The application of the abdominal acupuncture combined with body acupuncture for the improvement of the symptoms and physical constitution of allergic skin disease patients has obvious efficacy, which should be applied and promoted in clinic.
