A small amount of analgesic drug [sod. phenobarbital or dolantinl was used for acupuncture anesthesia. 50 cases with trigeninal neuralgia the efficiency RESULTS : 1. Among rateCER1 was 863I29 cases with excellent efficiency]: the inefficiency rate was 14%. 2. Among 57 cases with cervical vertebrae diseases the ER was 91.1% C45 cases with excellent efficiency; the inefficiency rate was 8.9%. 3. Among 73 cases with acute waist sprain the excellent ER was 100%. 4. Among 534 cases performed operations I craniocerebral, thyroidectomy and laryngectoay I under acupuncture anesthesia the excellent ER was 82.6%. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture had better analgesic effect especially for the patients with acute pain. The combination of acupuncture with analgesic drugs could give satisfactory effect.

AIM OF INVESTIGATION: The participation of the polymodal receptors in acupuncture and moxibustion has been suggested, and they are considered as the possible substrate for neurosenic inflammation. In this study we intend to demonstrate the plasma extravasation induced by various forms of acupuncture and moxibustion. METHODS: Evan's blue dye (50mg/kg) and atropine (5mg/kg) were injected in urethane anesthetized Wistar rats. Needle insertion, manipulation, electroacupuncture (EA), moxibustion and metal probe heating were applied to the hair-removed skin and/or subcutaneous tissues in various body regions. The development of blue spots by extravasation was photographed successively and their size was measured. RESULTS: Insertion of needle by itself induced clear blue spot around the needle and it took for several hours to reach its maximum size. Regional differences were very apparent, the auricular and forepaw were very sensitive but abdomen and back were almost ineffective to needle insertion. Manipulation and EA fascilitated the blue spot formation in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, but the latter was less sensitive. Moxibustion and metal probe heating induced similar blue spot or ring dose-depently. The time courses of blue spot formation were similar to that of acupuncture stimulation. The anti-inflammatory drugs tended to suppress the extravasation but their effects were not complete. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture and moxibustion induce the similar extravasation suggesting local inflammatory processes. The fact that a minute acupuncture needle insertion to auricular skin produces a clear blue spot suggests the role of the polymodal receptors in auricular therapy as well as EA.
