简介：本文从“骨度分寸”的起源入手，从临床运用的角度出发，分别辨析了腧穴定位的“骨度分寸”“手指同身寸”、针身长度的“毫针寸”以及针刺深度的“刺法寸”4种“寸”之不同，要求针灸实践中应知其意、明其理，灵活掌握、准确应用，从而提高针灸治病的疗效，避免针刺意外的发生。

简介：fMRI成像技术凭借其自身无创、实时监测等优势已经较为广泛地运用于针刺中枢整合机制的相关研究中。随着静息状态大脑活动及默认网络问题的发现,对基于传统block设计的针刺相关研究提出了挑战。文章通过综述近年来fMRI用于针刺穴位特异性研究方面取得的一些显著进展,及静息状态脑功能网络的研究方法和进展,提出了将静息状态fMRI成像及大脑功能网络引入到针刺相关研究的思考,以期探讨针刺对默认网络的影响和调节,促进针刺机制研究的发展,增强针灸理论的科学依据,为进一步弘扬中国传统医学奠定基础。

简介：目的：观察艾灸疗法在改善血管性痴呆（VD）患者临床症状和神经肽物质方面的作用，探讨艾灸治疗VD的部分机制。方法：87例VD患者随机分成艾灸组（43例）和西药组（44例）。艾灸组隔附子片灸百会，悬灸神庭、大椎；西药组口服吡拉西坦素片，经4个疗程治疗后，比较治疗前后智能检查量表（HDS）、智能改变量表（MMSE）及日常生活能力量表（ADL）评分变化，与学习记忆相关脑脊液中的活性物质生长抑素（SS）、精氨酸加压素（AVP）水平。结果：艾灸组总有效率为81．4％（35／43），优于西药组的63．6％（28／44）（P〈0．01）。两组治疗前后HDS、MMSE与ADL量表评分较治疗前均改善（P〈0．05，P〈0.01），艾灸组MMSE、ADL量表评分改善优于西药组（均P〈0．05）。两组治疗后脑脊液SS、AVP水平较治疗前明显升高（均P〈0．01），艾灸组治疗后SS、AVP水平与西药组比较明显改善（P〈0．05，P〈0．01）。结论：艾灸无论在改善临床症状积分还是在调控与学习记忆相关的神经肽物质方面均优于口服吡拉西坦素片，值得推广应用。
