Results: All the patients presented an important reduction on the intensity of pain. The average pain score before the treatments was 6,6 and the average of pain after 4 treatments as 1,2. 2 patients presented no pain at all after the treatments. Conclusion: WAA technique presents itself as an excellent therapeutic method for pan relief. Further research with better and larger studies, using a more rigorous method are necessary to determine the effectiveness of this technique. ACUPUNCTURE EFFECTS ON LOCALIZED EDEMA IN BECKWITH-WIEDEMANN SYNDROME PATIENT R.C. Silva Filho, T.M. Carvalho Brazilian School of Chinese Medicine (EBRAMEC) Introduction: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic syndrome, characterized by body overgrowth, omphalocele, macroglossia, hypoglycemia and other physical characteristics. Acupuncture is an important technique to improve the quality of life and can also help some of the day-by-day difficulties faced by BWS patients. Objective: Evaluate the effects of acupuncture in a BWS patient with a localized edema at the epigastric region. Method: Due to BWS low incidence, this is only a case study project. So, one female 23 year old BWS patient was selected for this study. The patient was treated twice a week for a period of 02 months. Five local points were selected, followed by acupuncture at K3 (Taixi), CV9 (Shuifen) and SP9 (Yinlinquan). The evaluation of the edema was conducted after every treatment through the measuring of the epigastric circumference. Results: The patient presented a 05cm decreasing in the epigastric circumference, presenting an average of 86cm before the whole treatment and ending with a final 81cm. Besides the decreasing of the edema, the patient stated, spontaneously, improvement on the quality of life and also that she was feeling more "energized". Conclusion: This study has shown that acupuncture can be an efficient technique for decreasing of localized edema. However, better studies with more rigorous scientific methods, mainly randomized clinical trials, should be conducted to qualify and quantify the therapeutic results that acupuncture can achieve in localized edemas. ACUPUNCTURE IN EUROPEAN HEALTH SERVICES Osvaldo Sponzilli San Pietro Fatebenefratelli Hospital, Rome, Italy The poster summarizes the status of acupuncture in European health services based on a survey carried out among members of ICMART. The questions to which the representatives from various nations responded were the following: Are there any statistics of how many people have acupuncture per year. Approximately, how many doctors are practising acupuncture. Can anyone without a medical degree perform acupuncture. If yes, what educational background is needed to perform acupuncture. What is the view of the medical establishment on acupuncture. Is acupuncture generally accepted or is viewed with scepticism by academic medicine. Is acupuncture taught by institutions (Universities, Medical Schools, Clinics, Hospitals, etc.). If yes, are there any postgraduate schools, advanced seminars, master programs, etc. If the aforementioned courses exist, how long do they take. Is acupuncture covered by any kind of insurance Bye the public health system for example. If yes, how is it handled. The patient pays nothing to the doctor who receives his fee or salary from institutions. The patient pays and is then reimbursed. Does private insurance cover acupuncture. Is the expense for acupuncture taxed. CLINICAL APPLICATION OF ROUND SHARP NEEDLE IN MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME Mao-Feng Sun Division of Acupuncture-Moxibustion and Traumatology, Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is featured with the existence of trigger point and taut band in soft tissues. Soft tissue damage related to acute or chronic trauma, poor posture, and psychogenic factors leads to protective or reflective muscle contraction in certain muscles, and thereby induces the formation of trigger point and taut band in the affected muscles. Pain and over contraction of muscles further induces a vicious circle with autonomic dysfunction and persistent myofascial pain. Round sharp needle is one of the nine types of needle recorded in Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. The ancient indication of round sharp needling was acute impediment syndrome characterized by myofascial pain. The sharp tip and round body of round sharp needle makes it easy to penetrate soft tissue but minimalize tissue damage at the same time. Therefore, round sharp needle could be inserted into the deep soft tissue and work as both detector of trigger points and treatment tool to break the vicious cycles in myofascial pain syndrome. In practice, round sharp needle is inserted into affected muscle along the longitudinal axis of taut band. The directions 89
and depth of the needle tip is adjusted dynamically to detect the trigger point. With one hand holding and inserting the needle, the other hand touches local skin, and reports the location of needle tip in the muscle and senses the response of soft tissue. When the trigger point is stimulated by needling, twitching of the muscle fiber could be observed. With repeated stimulation until the twitching of muscle subsided, the trigger point and taut band will be eliminated, and so will the painful sensation and myofascial pain syndrome related autonomic phenomena. Key word: round sharp needle, nine needle, Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, myofascial pain syndrome, trigger point, taut band. THE ROLE OF AURICULAR THERAPY IN CRISIS INTERVENTION István Széchenyi Széchenyi Health Centre, Hungary Data and Experience of 16 Years I have been a practicing auricular therapist for 16 years, also a tutor and lecturer of the field: I teach auricular addictology for medical staff, doctors and natural healers. Over the past 16 years I have constantly used as cross-reference my students' own experience when teaching and also when dealing with patients with the aim of demonstrating and emphasising the importance of crisis intervention. Everyone, any time can get into a crisis situation when she or he needs instant help. As international data and studies prove, as well as everyday practice shows, auricular therapy can be an effective and instant help when massive catastrophies, tragedies and disasters occur. SHUSHU THEORY OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE ACUPUNCTURE Xin-Ming Wu China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences Zangxiang--Jingluo in the Canon of Internal Medicine is regarded as the core theory of TCMÀhich is inclding the acupuncture. Zangxiang is based on the five phases theory and was greatly influenced by its framework, so does the Jingluo theory. A medicine history research shows that traditional Chinese acupuncture theory development followed the principles of Shushu structure. Yingyang and five phases were used as the Shushu methods to make judgments and decisions in the TCM historical practices. Yinyang, Wuxing, Liulv, Jiugong Bafeng , Yunqi Ganzhi are the main Shushu categories in the Canon of Internal Medicine° This article discusses about the main contents of these concepts and the some differences between them. It shows that the Shushu theory is the foundation of the traditional Chinese acupuncture. EFFECT OF ELECTROACUPUNTURE ON GASTRIC MUCOSAL INTESTINAL TREFOIL FACTOR GENE EXPRESSION OF STRESS-INDUCED GASTRIC MUCOSAL INJURY IN RATS Jie Yan, Xi-Ping Li, Shou-Xiang Yi, Xiao-Rong Chang, Ya-Ping Lin, Zong-Bao Yang, Ai Huang, Rong Hu Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medieine Aim: To investigate electroacupunture(EA) at the acupoints of Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming (SMFY), Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Yangming (SMFY) on gastric mucosal intestinal trefoil factor (ITF) gene expression detection in stress-induced rats with gastric mucosal lesion,and to explore the regulatory mechanism and signify cance of EA-related gastric mucosal protective effect. Methods: Forty rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Blank group, Model group, Model group¾A at acupoints of SMFY group("SMFY group"), and Model group¾A at acupoints of GMFY group(GMFY group). All rats (except blank group) were made model by water immersion and restraint stress (WRS). Then the gastric mucosa tissue in each rat was taken off after assessment of gastric mucosal lesion index(GUI), and the expression of ITF mRNA of the tissues was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method. Results: Compared with Model group(54.3 ± 1.34), the GUI value in SMFY group (31 ± 2.21) decreased significantly(P < 0.01), so did that in GMFY group (39.8 ± 1.62, P < 0.05), meanwhile GUI value in SMFY group was significantly lower than in GMFY group(P < 0.01). Compared with Model group (0.65 ± 0.01), EA had a tendency to improve the expression of gastric mucosal ITFmRNA gene: such tendency existed in GMFY group (0.66 ± 0.01) but with no signfi - cant difference(P > 0.05), in SMFY group(0.76 ± 0.01) with an extremely obvious difference (P < 0.01), furthermore the expression in SMFY group was significantly higher than in GMFY group (P
