 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Scalp cluster acupuncture in patients with multi-infarct dementia plasma endothelin and calcitonin gene-related peptide Of: Wang Lichun, Wang Zhiyong, Wang Xiuqing, Liu Haiyan [Abstract] Objective To study the multi-infarct dementia (MID) in patients with plasma endothelin (ET), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) content, the first point of impact of cluster spines on the clinical intelligent mechanism. Methods 60 patients with MID were randomly divided into acupuncture group and western medicine group cluster, cluster acupuncture group with reference to various parts of the brain surface mapping and the principle of acupuncture treatment for nearly partition, the corresponding expansion of the scalp line, the corresponding points for the center cluster head thorns. WM group treated with Huperzine. radioimmunoassay before and after treatment plasma ET, CGRP content, and record Hasegawa Intelligence Scale (HDS), activities of daily living (ADL) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score. Results After 8 weeks treatment, 2 groups were lower ET content, and CGRP content increased to more significant changes in cluster acupuncture group (P lt;0.05), cluster acupuncture group and western medicine group HDS, ADL and MMSE scores were improved , but the acupuncture group improved significantly cluster (P lt;0.05). Conclusion cluster needling scalp may be by reducing the levels of plasma ET, CGRP levels increase and improve the HDS, ADL and MMSE scores, improved intelligence. [Keywords:] scalp, barbed cluster, multi-infarct dementia, endothelin, calcitonin gene-related peptide Abstract: Objective To study the content changes of ET and CGRP in MID patients and investigate the effect of cluster needling on scalp point about intelligence of MID patients. Methods Sixty MID patients were divided into cluster needling group and medicine group which was treated by hupperzine. HDS, ADL, MMSE score and ET, CGRP content was assayed befo
