The present experiment was investigated to compare tretment effect of drug therapy, acupuncture therapy, the combination of acupuncture and drug therapy, and electro-acupuncture therapy using 152 calves with respiratory deseases. Among 20 cases of drug therapy group, 16 cases (80%) were recovered and 4 cases (20%) were ineffective. Among 28 cases using Su Qi in acupuncture therapy group, 21 cases using San Tai, An Bi and Fei Shu, 17 cases (72%) were available and 7 cases (28%) were unavailable. Among 28 cases of the combination group of acupuncture and drug therapy, 24 cases(86%) were recovered with the highest tretment effect in Su Qi and drug therapy. In addition, among 24 cases of the combination group of acupuncture and drug therapy, 20 cases(84%) were effective and 4 cases (16%) were ineffective with lower effective rate compared by Su Qi and drug therapy in San tai, An bi and Fei shu and drug therapy. And among electro-acupuncture group using Fei Shu $[left({\ominus}), right({\oplus})],$ 22 cases (82%) were effective and 6 cases (18%) were ineffective.

This study was carried out to investigate the analgesic and antipyretic effects of acupuncture in goat suffered from pain and fever induced experimentally : electroacupuncture and laser acupuncture for the relief of pain and traditional needing for the of fever. Pain was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 0.7% acetic acid solution and it's extent was estimated with the number of writhing syndrom as indicator of pain. When lipopolysaccharide was given into the vein in goat, fever with biphasic type was produced. In the goats with pain the superior analgesic effects of electroacupuncture to aminopyrine and sulpyrine were found, but the effects of laser acupuncture were not satisfactory. The high body temperature of goats was gradually decreased with the lapse of time following traditional needling(venesection by needle) and showed a tendency to return to normal body temperature. Serum GOT, GPT:, BUN, creatinine values and acetylcholinesterase activity following electroacupuncture were not altered. It is considered that electroacupuncture combined with medicament can sucure exellent analgesic and antipyretic effects in animal practice.

Background and Objectives: Nocturnal enuresis is a common problem that can be troubling for children and their families. Treatment options include nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic measures. Various nonpharmacologic treatments have been shown to have a positive effect on bed-wetting in small studies but have not been extensively evaluated (generally weak strength of evidence). This study was undertaken to determine if there is any evidence for the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for treatment of nocturnal enuresis. Methods : Author conducted a computerized literature search in following database: Medline(via Pubmed), NDSL. There were no restrictions on the language of publication. The data were extracted in a standardized, predefined manner and assessed critically. Results : 4 article was selected. Acupuncture is composed of general acupuncture, electro, laser. Acupuncture treatment of the children had significantly more dry night than before treatment Conclusion : Alternative, nonpharmacological approach using acupuncture works in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis.

Chloramphenicol주사에 의한 좌골신경손상을 유발한 후 Prednisolone을 이용한 약물처치군, 전침군 및 전침과 약물을 병용한 군에서 각각 회복속도를 비교하였다. 정상보행 횟수, pinching을 통한 감각신경의 통감반응,그리고 병리조직소견 등을 죠사한 결과를 요약 하면 다음과 같다. Enrofloxacin, cefazolin, cephalexin, penicillin 등의 좌골신경주위 주사게 서는 신경마비가 관찰되지 않았으나 chloramphenicol을 주사할 경우에는 좌골신경손상으로 인한 편측성 후지마비가 유발되어 knuckling 반응을 보였다. Chloramphenicol을 투여한후 좌골신경손상에 대한 각 처치에서 정상보행 횟수는 8-12주까지는 침술처치군이 약간 중가하 였으나, 처리군간 유의성은 관찰되지 않았다. 실험기간동안 chloramphenicol 에 의한 신경손 상에 대한 각 처치군별 병리조직 소견은 호전양상이 관찰되지 아니하였다.

The effects of electroacupuncture on gastric motility in dogs were investigated in this study. The acupoints used in this experiment were Zu San Li (ST-36), Feng Long (ST-40), Jie Xi (ST-41), and Li Dui (ST-45) which belong to stomach meridian, Wei Shu (BL-21) which belongs to urinary bladder meridian, and Zhong Wan (CV-12) which belongs to conception vessel meridian. The animals were stimulated with 2-4 volt and 5 Hz for 20 min. Electroacupuncture at Zu San Li and Wei Shu acupoint increased the gastric motility, but Zhong Wan decreased the motility. There were no change in gastric movement after electrostimulation at Feng Long, Jie Xi and Li Dui acupoints. It was considered that electroacupuncture at Zu San Li and Wei Shu acupoints to promote the gastric movement, and at Zhong Wan acupoint to depress the movement might be effective in veterinary practice.

A four-year-old female Pekingese dog was presented with intermittent ambulatory hindlimb lameness and severe back pain. The course of the disease was acute and static and 5 days passed by until presentation. In neurological examination, severe back pain and slightly decreased proprioception in right hindlimb were shown. In radiographic examination, radiopacity was increased at T10-11 intervertebral disc space. According to the history taking, neurological examination and radiographic examination, it was tentatively diagnosed as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). Conservative treatment was performed including cage rest, medication with prednisolone and traditional acupuncture. Acupoints were GV-6, GV-7, BL-18, BL-19. BL-40 and GB-34. Dry needlings rested for 20 minutes. Just after the first acupuncture treatment back pain was significantly decreased. With additional acupuncture treatment, all the clinical signs were not observed. It is considered that conservative therapy including traditional acupuncture, medication and cage rest might be the first choice of therapeutic method for Grade I or II IVDD in dogs.

The effects of electroacupuncture on small intestinal motility in dogs were investigated. The acupoints used in the experiment were Shao Ze (SI-1), Hou Xi. (SI-3), Yang Lao (SI-6), Zhi Zheng (SI-7) and Xiao Hai (SI-8) which belong to small intestine meridian, Xiao Chang Shu (BL-27) which belongs to urinary bladder meridian, and Guan Yuan (CV-4) which belongs to conception vessel meridian. The anupoints were stimulated with 2-4 volt and 5 Hz for 20 minutes Electroacupuncture at Shao Ze, Yang Lao, and Xiao Hai acupoints increased the intestinal motility, but at Guan Yuan decreased the motility. The acupuncture at Hou Xi, Zhi Zheng and Xiao Chang Shu acupoints showed an increase or decrease of the intestinal movement. The results indicate that the electroacupuncture at Guan Yuan acupoint may depress intestinal motility in cases such as vomiting or diarrhea, and the acupuncture at Shao Ze, Yang Lao, and Xiao Hai acupoints to promote the motility in cases of digestive disturbance may be effective in veterinary practice.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of acupuncture after the induction of acute kidney disease in dogs by ethylene glycol. Twenty four mixed breed, adult cats were used in the experiment. Ethylene glycol was administered orally at 1 ml/kg in 24 cats, and then 6 cats were treated by acupunchuture 6 cats were treated by electroacupuncture, 6 cats were treated by acupuncture and 6 cats were not treated as a control group. Treatment was done once daily far 4 dsys. The acupoint used were Gan-shu and Tai-xi. The effect of acnpuncture was evaluated by clinical symptom, blood chemical values, electrocardiogram (ECG) and histopathologkal findings. After treatement, acupuncture group revealed relatively fast recovery compared with other groups, in clinical symptoms, blood chemical values, ECG waves and histopathological findings. Laserpuncture group revealed secondly fast recovery compared with control group.

자기 신경자극기는 신경의학, 재활의학을 포함한 많은 임상의학 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있다. 자기 신경자극기는 전력소모가 크고 고압 전원이 필요한 이유 때문에 단채널 시스템만이 임상환경이나 연구환경에서 쓰여 왔었다. 본 논문에서는 4채널 자기 신경자극기 개발을 소개하였다. 고압 커패시터를 충전하는데 있어서 단계적 충전방식을 사용하여 작은 크기의 직류 전원장치로 다채널 시스템을 구현하였고, 채널별로 서로 다른 자극 프로토콜로 자극 코일을 구동할 수 있는 다채널 제어시스템을 구성하였다. 개발된 시스템은 신경계통 장애가 있는 환자들의 재활이나 자기적인 침술 등 다양한 기능적 자기 자극에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
