Based on the close structural and functional associations of the Shaoyang （少阳） channel and related zang-fu （脏腑） organs with the brain and the pharynx， this paper proposes that the pathogenesis of post-stroke dysphagia involves constraint and stagnation of the pivot mechanism， binding of phlegm and stasis， frenetic stirring of ministerial fire， and incoordination of the spirit mechanism， ultimately leading to loss of pharyngeal function. An acupuncture therapy centered on regulating the pivot and unblocking the orifice is established. Acupoints of the Shaoyang channel， including Fengchi （GB 20）， Wangu （GB 12）， Yifeng （SJ 17）， and Waiguan （SJ 5）， are selected to regulate the pivot and treat the root； acupoints of the Du （督） and Ren （任） channels， including Fengfu （GV 16）， Lianquan （CV 23）， and Tiantu （CV 22）， are used to unblock the orifice and treat the branch. In addition， staged treatment can be applied according to syndrome differentiation. In the acute stage with predominant phlegm turbidity， Fenglong （ST 40）， Yinlingquan （SP 9）， Jinjin （EX-HN 12）， and Yuye （EX-HN 13） are added to resolve phlegm and facilitate orifice function. During the recovery stage with excess ministerial fire scorching the pharynx， Zulinqi （GB 41） and Zhaohai （KI 6） are added to drain fire and nourish yin； when ministerial fire disturbs the spirit， Tongli （HT 5） and Neiguan （PC 6） are added to calm the spirit and the heart. During the chronic stage with blood deficiency and collateral stasis， Zusanli （ST 36） and Sanyinjiao （SP 6） are added to nourish blood and unblock collaterals. In clinical practice， the angle and depth of needling are adjusted based on the stage of dysphagia， with the combination of elongated needles and medicinal moxibustion are used to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Objective To summarize and evaluate the treatment strategies and clinical outcomes of bladder inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT),so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of two patients with bladder IMT treated at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University.In combination with literature analysis,the clinical characteristics,treatment methods and prognosis of this disease were analyzed.Results Both patients presented with painless terminal macroscopic hematuria.Patient 1 was a 42-year-old male with a 6 cm bladder mass detected by cystoscopy,with no muscular involvement.Transurethral en bloc resection with a 1470 nm diode laser was performed,followed by a second transurethral resection.Patient 2 was a 21-year-old male with a 5 cm bladder mass visualized on cystoscopy,with no muscular invasion.Transurethral en bloc resection using a 1470 nm diode laser was conducted,followed by transurethral laser marking the margin of the wound and laparoscopic partial cystectomy.Preoperative cystoscopic biopsy and postoperative pathology diagnosed it as IMT,which invaded the superficial muscular layer and the margin was negative.Patient 1 was followed for 40 months and patient 2 for 15 months.Follow-up cystoscopy performed every 3 months showed no evidence of recurrence.This article also summarized the relevant literature on bladder IMT over the past five years.Conclusion Bladder IMT is an extremely rare neoplasm with nonspecific clinical manifestations,posing challenges in both diagnosis and treatment.However,early recognition and definitive pathological diagnosis,combined with bladder-sparing surgical strategies such as en bloc resection,often result in favorable outcomes,with reduced risk of recurrence and improved quality of life.
