Methods: An assessor-blinded, two-parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was conducted, and the patients with PBP-IS were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received oral aspirin (100 mg per day for 2 weeks). In addition to oral aspirin; patients in the treatment group received XNJ-AI at Fengchi (GB 20), once a day, for two weeks. The primary outcome was assessed by the water-swallowing test (WST). Thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) in plasma were measured before and after the treatment. Results: In the treatment group, the percentage of swallowing function no less than grade 3 before and after the treatment was 32% and 88%, respectively; in the control group, it was 28% and 76% before and after the treatment, respectively; the difference after the treatment between the two groups was statistically significant (P〈0.05). There were statistical differences between pre- and post-treatment levels of plasma TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α in the two groups (both P〈0.05). After the treatment, there were significant differences in the levels of plasma TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α between the two groups (both P〈0.05). Conclusion: XNJ-AI at Fengchi (GB 20) can improve the patients' swallowing function and balance the levels of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α in plasma.展开更多

And the TXB2 level in the 3-5 pm acupuncture group was obviously lower than that in the 7-9 am acupuncture group(P<0.05) ,and the 6-K-P level of the former was obviously higher than that of the latter(P<0.05) .Conclusion:Acupuncture can promote functional recovery in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and enhance their survival quality.展开更多
