Objective: To compare the risk angle and safety angle of needling Yamen (GV 15) between the atlanto-axial dislocation (AAD) patients and healthy subjects. Methods: A total of 177 AAD patients diagnosed and treated at the Center of Upper Cervical Vertebra of Beijing China-Japan Friendship Hospital between January 2010 and January 2018 were included in the AAD group. Another 207 healthy subjects were included in the normal group. There were totally 191 males and 193 females. The MRI scan was performed for the cervical vertebrae to measure the risk angle and safety angle of acupuncture at Yamen (GV 15) on the sagittal image. Results: In the AAD group, the risk angle was (13.14士3.99)' and the relative safety angle was (10.31士3.23)' for the perpendicular needling, while the oblique needling risk angle was (9.09士3.09)。 for the male; the risk angle was (12.12士2.74)。 and the relative safety angle was (10.56士2.09)。 for the perpendicular needling, while the oblique needling risk angle was (9.70士2.95)。 for the female. In the normal group, the risk angle was (7.89士1.59)。 and the relative safety angle was (10.21士3.55)' for the perpendicular needling, while the oblique needling risk angle was (16.07士1.77)。 for the male; the risk angle was (6.93士1.45)' and the relative safety angle was (10.70士2.94)。 for the perpendicular needling, while the oblique needling risk angle was (14.89士2.18)。 for the female. The perpendicular needling risk angles for the males and females in the AAD group were larger than those in the normal group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.01); for the inner-group comparison, there was no significant difference in the perpendicular needling risk angle between the male and the female in the AAD group (P>0.05); however, the perpendicular needling risk angle for the male was larger than the female, and the difference was statistically significant in the normal group (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the relative safety angle for both the male and the female between the AAD group and the normal group (both P>0.05). For the inner-group comparison, there was no significant difference in the relative safety angle between the male and the female (P>0.05). The oblique needling risk angles for both the males and females were smaller in the AAD group than those in the normal group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.01); the oblique needling risk angle for the male was not significantly different from that for the female in the AAD group (P>0.05); in the normal group, the oblique needling risk angle for the male was larger than that for the female, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: Under the AAD condition, the risk angle and safety angle of acupuncture at Yamen (GV 15) change significantly, perpendicular needling should be better if performed slightly lower than the horizontal direction, and the oblique needling should be safer across the occipital foramen toward the occipital bone.
Acupuncturing Yamen point has the risk, because its deep portion is close to the vital centre medulla oblongata. Analyzing the literature of ancient times and the research cn the anatomy aspect and the clinical practice aspect, the author points out the standpoints the do::tor should acupuncture this point after knowing the structure ar its deep portion well, then insert the needle carefully. The author also suggests directing the needlepoint to the mouth and lip or to the mandible. It is suitable to insert the needle to the depth of 1. 0 -1. 5 cun.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the expression of blood-brain barrier (BBB)-related functional protein, ATP-binding cassette protein and gene in the cerebral cortex of depression rats. METHODS: Forty SD rats were equally and randomly divided into control group, EA group, depressive (model) group and depression + EA group. The depression model was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress. EA (2 Hz, 1 mA) was applied to “Baihui”(GV 20) and “Yamen”(GV 15) for 20 min, once daily for 14 days. The expression levels of multidrug resistance (Mdr) 1a, Mdr 1b, multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 1, Mrp 4, Mrp 5, and breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp) gene and proteins in the cerebral cortex tissue were detected by RT-PCR semi-quantitative analysis and Western blot, respectively. RESULTS: In comparison with the control group, no obvious changes were found in the expression levels of cerebral Mdr la, Mdr 1b, Mrp 1, Mrp 4, Mrp 5 and Bcrp genes and proteins in the model group (P > 0.05), and only cerebral Mdr 1a gene and protein expression levels in the EA group were evidently down-regulated (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, only cerebral Mdr la gene and protein expression levels were obviously decreased in the depression+ EA group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). No significant changes were found in the Mdr 1b, Mrp 1, Mrp 4, Mrp 5 and Bcrp genes and proteins after EA intervention in depression rats (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: EA of GV 20 and GV 15 can obviously down-regulate the expression of cerebral Mdr 1a in depression rats which might be involved in the opening activity of blood-brain barrier.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of combined administration of intragastric perfusion of extract of Hypericum Perforatum L (HP-L) and electroacupuncture (EA) of “Baihui” (GV 20) and “Yamen” (GV 15) on behavior and brain microcirculation in depression rats. METHODS: Female SD rats were randomized into control, model, lower-dose of HP-L (lower-dose in short, 10 mg/kg), lower-dose+ EA, higher-dose (20 mg/kg) and higher-dose+ EA groups (n = 10/group). Depression model was established by lonely raising and chronic unpredictable mild stress (tail cramping, water-deprivation, fasting, electrical shock stimulation, etc. ) for 21 days. EA (2 Hz, 1 mA) was applied to “Baihui”(GV 20) and “Yamen”(GV 15) for 20 min, once daily for 14 days. Changes of ethology including glucose-consumption during 1 h, crossing and rearing scores of open-field test during 3 min (for assessing the rats' locomoto)and laser Doppler flowmetry values of cortical regional cerebral bloodflow (r CBF) were detected, and Morris water maze test (for assessing the rats' learning-memory ability) was conducted. RESULTS: In comparison with the control group, the sucrose consumption, crossing and rearing scores of open-field test, the average swimming velocity (ASV). the ratios of path length and swimming duration near the hidden-platform and the path length and swimming duration far from the platform of Morris water maze test during 70 seconds, and the cortical r CBF value in the model group were decreased significantly (P < 0.01), while the total swimming distance and escape latency in the model group increased apparently (P < 0.01). Compared to the model group, the average sucrose consumption, crossing and rearing scores of open-field test, the ASV, and the ratios of path length and swimming duration near the platform and those far from the platform in the lower-dose. lower-dose + EA, higher-dose and higher-dose + EA groups, and the cortical r CBF in the lower-dose + EA and higher-dose + EA groups were increased considerably (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The total swimming distances and escape latencies of lower-dose, lower-dose + EA, higher-dose and higher-dose + EA groups were significantly shortened in comparison with the model group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The sucrose consumption and crossing score were significantly higher in the higher-dose + EA group than the lower-dose group (P < 0.05). The escape latency was significantly shorter in the higher-dose + EA group than in the lower-dose group (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found among the lower-dose, lower-dose + EA and higher-dose groups the sucrose consumption, crossing score and escape latency: among the lower-dose, lower-dose + EA, higher-dose and higher-dose + EA groups in the rearing score and ASV; among the lower-dose, higher-dose and model groups in the cortical r CBF (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: EA can enhance the effect of extract of HP-L in increasing sucrose consumption, crossing score and cerebral blood flow, and in shortening escape latency in depression rats, which may contribute to their effect in improving depression. But HP-L itself has no effect on cortical microcirculation.
OBJECTIVE: To explore an effective method for pure motor aphasia caused by cerebral infarction. Methods Ninety-six cases were randomized into a blood-pricking therapy combined with rehabilitation group (comprehensive group), a blood-pricking therapy group and a rehabilitation group, 30 cases in each group. Based on the routine therapy of primary disease, blood-pricking at Yamen (GV 15) combined with language rehabilitation training was applied in comprehensive group, blood-pricking at Yamen (GV 15) was applied only in blood-pricking therapy group, and language rehabilitation training was applied in rehabilitation group. The classification table of speech ability in Speech Therapy and Chinese Standard Aphasia Test Battery by Beijing Medical University were adopted to evaluate the clinical effects of speaking functions and words information, fluency, retelling, and naming of aphasia. RESULTS: After 30 days treatment, the speaking functions of 3 groups were all significantly improved. The total effective rate was 90.6% (29/32) in comprehensive group, which was superior to that of 84.4% (27/32) in blood-pricking therapy group and 75.0% (24/32) in rehabilitation group (both P < 0.01), and it in blood-pricking therapy group was superior to that in rehabilitation group (P < 0.05). The scores of words information and fluency in comprehensive group were much more higher than those in blood-pricking therapy group and rehabilitation group (both P < 0.01); retelling and naming in comprehensive group were higher than those in other two groups (both P < 0.05); the scores of words information and fluency in blood-pricking therapy group were higher than those in rehabilitation group (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The curative effect of simple motor aphasia caused by cerebral infarction treated with blood-pricking at Yamen (GV 15) combined with language training was significantly, superior to that with either blood-pricking therapy or rehabilitation, especially in words information and fluency aspects.
