Neuron Discharge and c-Fos Expression in the Nucleus of the Solitary Tract Following Electroacupuncture at Acupoints of the Yangming Stomach Meridian of Foot.
J Acupunct Meridian Stud. 2013 Apr; 6(2): 82-8

The nucleus of the solitary tract (nucleus tractus solitarii; NTS) is a primary center for both visceral afferents and somatic afferents. Previous experiments have demonstrated that the NTS is closely connected to the stomach and acupoints in the Yangming Stomach Meridian of Foot (ST Meridian). In this study, extracellular recording and immunochemistry methods were used to analyze the discharge of neurons and c-Fos protein expression in the NTS following acupuncture at different acupoints and a nonacupoint. A total of 104 discharging neurons were detected in the NTS of 52 rats, of which 86 provided complete data. After acupuncture at Sibai (ST 2), Zusanli (ST 36), Neiting (ST 44), Quanliao (SI 18), and the nonacupoint, the neuron response rate in the NTS was 65.12%, 51.16%, 46.51%, 34.88% and 31.40% respectively. For neuron response rate, there was a significant difference among Sibai (ST 2), Zusanli (ST 36), Neiting (ST 44), Quanliao (SI 18), and the nonacupoint (p<0.01 or p<0.05). In the other 48 rats, the number of c-Fos immunoreactive neurons in the NTS by electroacupuncture (EA) at Sibai (ST 2) group was significantly higher than that EA at other acupoints and the nonacupoint (p<0.05 or p<0.01). EA at both Zusanli (ST 36) and Neiting (ST 44) increased c-Fos immunoreactive neurons significantly over EA at Quanliao (SI 18) and the nonacupoint (p<0.05 or p<0.01), while there was no difference between EA at Quanliao (SI 18) and the nonacupoint group (p>0.05). The experiments demonstrated that the afferent convergence in NTS are different by body surface points stimulus, which suggests that the NTS might be a primary center in the central nervous system receiving acupoints stimulus from the ST Meridian.

Advancing the management of childhood epilepsies.
Eur J Paediatr Neurol. 2013 Apr 1;
Cross JH, Kluger G, Lagae L
Childhood epilepsies comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders and syndromes that vary in terms of severity, prognosis and treatment requirements. Effective management requires early, accurate recognition and diagnosis, and a holistic approach that addresses each individual's medical and psychosocial needs within the context of their overall health status and quality of life. With increasing understanding of underlying aetiologies, new approaches to management and treatment are emerging. For example, genetic testing is beginning to provide a tool to aid differential diagnosis and a means of predicting predisposition to particular types of epilepsy. Despite the availability of an increasing number of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) - due not only to the development of new AEDs, but also to changes in regulatory requirements that have facilitated clinical development - seizure control and tolerability continue to be suboptimal in many patients, and there is therefore a continuing need for new treatment strategies. Surgery and other non-pharmacological treatments (e.g. vagus nerve stimulation, ketogenic diet) are already relatively well established in paediatric epilepsy. New pharmacological treatments include generational advances on existing AEDs and AEDs with novel modes of action, and non-AED pharmacological interventions, such as immunomodulation. Emerging technologies include novel approaches allowing the delivery of medicinal agents to specific areas of the brain, and 'closed-loop' experimental devices employing algorithms that allow treatment (e.g. electrical stimulation) to be targeted both spatially and temporally. Although in early stages of development, cell-based approaches (e.g. focal targeting of adenosine augmentation) and gene therapy may also provide new treatment choices in the future.

[Carpal tunnel syndrome: diagnostics and conservative treatment].
Lik Sprava. 2012; 163-5
Ponomarenko IuV, Murashko NK, Chupryna HM, Parnikoza TP, Sereda VH
The Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent entrapment neuropaphy of human. The Article is dedicated to diagnostics and conservative treatment this pathology. The early diagnostics and in time fixed treatment prevents the progress of the disease, raises the quality of life and allows to avoid surgical procedure. Big attention is given acupuncture reflexotherepy and infrared latherotherepy, which use raises the quality of the therapeutic influences.
