Focus has been put on different targets and diverse amount of bleeding of 3 Japanese bloodletting therapies, namely bloodletting puncture on Jing （Well）-Points, bloodletting puncture on collaterals and bloodletting puncture on skin. Meanwhile, a general comparison was made between the bloodletting therapy in Japan and the pricking blood therapy in China, which is expected to assist the progress of bloodletting therapy.展开更多

Methods： Seventy-two patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group by using the random number table, 36 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy, while the control group was intervened by oral administration of estazolam. One-week treatment was taken as a course, for 3 successive courses in total. A follow-up study was conducted 3 months later. The Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI） was evaluated before and after the intervention, as well as in the follow-up. The clinical efficacies were also compared. Results： The total effective rate was 88.9% in the treatment group versus 83.3% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant （P〈0.O5）. After the intervention, the PSO.I scores dropped significantly in both groups （both P〈0.05）; the between-group difference in PSQI score was statistically significant （P〈O.05）. The follow-up study showed that the between-group difference in the global score of PSO, I was statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture plus bloodletting therapy can produce a more significant efficacy than oral administration of estazolam in treating insomnia in people with blood stasis constitution.展开更多

They were randomly divided into the group A（treated with scraping combined with collateral bloodletting therapy） and the group B（treated with the simple needling therapy of acupuncture）, 30 cases in each one. Once treatment was given every day and10 times consist of one course, two courses of treatment were required. At the end of treatment, the visual analogue scale（VAS） was adopted to evaluate the pain index, tenderness index and the overall effect of the patients in the two groups. Based on the Lysholm knee scale, the scores were compared in the patients of the two groups before and after treatment.Results： The total effective rate was 96.7% in the group A and was 86.7% in the group B, indicating the significant difference（P〈0.05）. VAS value was 3.03 ± 0.62 in the group A and was 3.67 ± 0.74 in the group B after treatment, indicating that difference is statistically significant（P〈0.05）. The Lysholm knee score was 89.2 ± 4.8 in the group A and was 82.4 ± 2.6 in the group B after treatment, indicating that difference is statistically significant（P〈0.05）.Conclusion： The scraping combined with collateral bloodletting therapy is significant in the efficacy on knee joint pain and feasible in the clinical guidance.展开更多

Methods: A total of 66 patients with acne vulgaris were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table, with 33 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with auricular point pricking-bloodletting plus auricular point sticking therapy, and the control group was treated only with auricular point sticking therapy. The treatments of both groups were performed twice a week, 4 weeks as a course of treatment, for 3 courses in total. The scores of skin lesions and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) scores were recorded before and after treatment to assess the clinical efficacy. Results: During the trial, there were 3 cases of drop-out both in the observation group and the control group. After 3 courses of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 96.7%, while that of the control group was 76.7%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The intra-group comparison showed that the scores of skin lesion and DLQI were both decreased with the increase of treatment times, that was, the scores were lower than those at the previous time point (allP<0.05). After 1, 2, and 3 courses of treatment, the scores of skin lesion and DLQI of both groups were statistically different from those of the same group before treatment (allP<0.05). At every time point during the treatment, the scores of skin lesion and DLQI of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Auricular point pricking-bloodletting plus auricular point sticking has a better curative effect than auricular point sticking therapy alone in the treatment of acne vulgaris, and has a time-effect correlation.展开更多

During his 70 years of clinical practice, he developed the theory that most diseases are caused by qi stagnation, and in order to restore qi circulation one needs to improve the blood circulation first. Based on this theory, in combination with empirical insights from clinical practice, he has developed a unique technique for using three-edged needles. He has also categorized and extended the application of bloodletting therapy with three edged needles to cover over 150 diseases. In addition, Dr. He＇s bloodletting therapy with three edged needles is an innovation that may inspire other physicians to develope and expand the use of acupuncture-related therapies to treat disease.展开更多

Methods： A total of 40 cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group, 20 in each. Cases in the observation group were treated with acupuncture plus bloodletting on Chize （LU 5） and Weizhong （BL 9）, whereas cases in the control group were treated with acupuncture alone. The acupuncture was conducted once a day, bloodletting twice a week. The therapeutic efficacy was statistically analyzed after one month of consecutive treatment. Results： The recovery and total effective rates in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group （P〈O.05）. Conclusion： Combined acupuncture and bloodletting on Chize （LU 5） and Weizhong （BL 40） could obtain a better effect than acupuncture alone.展开更多
