Bai Hui : point du sommeil ? : étude du point unique Bai Hui dans le traitement des troubles du sommeil pendant la grossesse
No full textAcupuncture obstétricalePar un questionnaire réalisé auprès de 14 femmes enceintes souffrant de troubles du sommeil, cette étude a permis une première approche par l’acupuncture et spécifiquement du point unique Bai Hui dans le traitement de ces troubles pendant la grossesse. Le but de cette étude est de montrer l’importance de ce point pour aider ces patientes, et cela en le comparant à un autre point, considéré comme placebo, situé au talon gauche. L’étude se base notamment sur le Score de Spiegel. Ce score est utilisé en médecine occidentale pour évaluer la qualité d’un sommeil. Les résultats montrent une amélioration très nette du sommeil lorsque le point Bai Hui est piqué. De plus, les patientes se montrent plus satisfaites de la prise en charge de leurs troubles du sommeil par la poncture du point bai hui, qu'avec le point placebo. Ce travail n’est qu’un tout petit pas dans l’étude des points d’acupuncture, et notamment du point Bai Hui, qui est, selon les auteurs, un des points les plus importants en Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise et qu'il n’est pas toujours aisé de trouve
L'utilisation de Bai hui, 20DM, en obstétrique
No full textAcupuncture obstétricaleL’état de bonne santé d’un individu dépend des méridiens extraordinaires qui travaillent conjointement avec les méridiens principaux pour permettre une bonne circulation du Qi et du Xue. Ils ont des fonctions de régulation et également des fonctions créatrices. Souvent laissé de côté car leur fondements et fonctionnements sont moins simple, ils peuvent nous être très utile en obstétrique. Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, l’étude porte sur le méridien DU MAI ou Vaisseau Gouverneur ainsi que le point 20DM Bai Hui de DU MAI. Les applications de ce point en obstétrique sont multiples et variées : menace d’accouchement prématuré, le sommeil, les céphalées, les troubles hémorroïdaires, les troubles anxio-dépressifs, les douleurs dorsale
Pharmacopuncture using acupoints Hou Hai and Bai Hui in estrous synchronization protocols in goats
No full textABSTRACT The efficiency of administration of subdoses of eCG in the Bai Hui and Hou Hai acupoints in oestrus synchronization protocols in goats was evaluated. In the first stage, 57 goats were randomly assigned to four treatments: T1- 300UI of intramuscular eCG (IM); T2- 60UI of eCG in acupoint Hou Hai; T3- 60UI of eCG in the Bai Hui acupoint and T4- 60UI of eCG IM; and in the second stage, 28 goats were randomly assigned to three treatments: T1-300UI of eCG IM; T2-30UI of eCG in the Bai Hui acupoint and T3- 30UI of eCG IM. At the end of the hormonal treatment the goats were monitored for estrus detection, and evaluation of reproductive behavior. The data were submitted to normality analysis, followed by appropriate statistical tests for each variable. In the first experimental stage, a longer duration of estrus in the T1 goats (P= 0.009) was obtained. In the second experimental stage, a greater number of animals were obtained in estrus at T1 (P= 0.03). The other variables for both experiments were not influenced by the treatments (P> 0.05), demonstrating that administration of eCG subdoses in the Bai Hui and Hou Hai acupoints was efficient to synchronize the estrus.</p
The use of prostaglandin applied in Bai Hui Acupoint on mare reproductive efficiency
No full textProstaglandin F2α (PGF2α) is one of the most frequently used drugs for pharmacologic manipulation of the oestrous cycle in mares. Among its roles, PGF2α induces luteolysis, leading to an early oestrus return, which reduces the dioestrous phase and the inter-ovulatory intervals. Interestingly, mares are more sensitive to PGF2α than other domestic species, hence lower doses are used; even so, the side effects are still adverse and inconvenient for animals and breeders. Recent studies of acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, have been performed as an alternative to decrease the PGF2α dose for mares. The efficacy described of applying lower doses of PGF2α at specific acupoints is similar to that obtained with the regular dose. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyse the reproductive performance and characteristics of oestrus in embryo recipient and donor mares using different doses at the Bai Hui—an acupoint located on the dorsal midline, also known as ‘the point of one hundred meetings’, as its region of effect encompasses many nerve trunks, nerve endings and vascular networks—a useful veterinary acupuncture treatment for ovarian disorders. For this study, 76 Quarter Horse mares were randomly assigned to three experimental groups: Control (CTR)—Intramuscular (IM) administration of 5 mg PGF2α; Bai Hui 5 mg (BH5)—application of 5 mg at the Bai Hui acupoint; and Bai Hui 2.5 mg (BH2.5)—application of 2.5 mg at the Bai Hui acupoint. In the results, there were no differences regarding uterine oedema, pregnancy rate or body condition score among the groups. However, oestrous expression was lower (p < 0.001) in both BH groups compared with CTR. Lastly, the interval between application and ovulation was shorter in BH5 compared with CTR (p = 0.042). The results indicate BH5 and BH2.5 as viable alternatives to the IM administration.Department of Veterinary Surgery and Animal Reproduction School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science São Paulo State University (UNESP)Catholic Salesian Auxilium University Center (UniSALESIANO) AraçatubaCentral Araçá Reprodução Animal Rodovia Marechal RondonDepartment of Veterinary Surgery and Animal Reproduction School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science São Paulo State University (UNESP
Inducción de estro en yeguas con una dósis reducida de prostaglandina f2α, en el espacio lumbo sacro (acupunto bai hui)
Full text linkThe present study was carried out at the University of Western Paulista (UNOESTE) Veterinary Hospital, Presidente Prudente-SP, Brazil. The objective was to examine the induction of estrus in mares with a micro-dose of PGF2α (0.015 mg), (D-Cloprostenol - Croniben®), administered at the BAI-HUI acupuncture point, in the sacral lumbar space. Fifteen no specific breed mares, between 5 to 10 years, with 3.3 of body condition and with approximately 350kg were used; regular estrum cycles and reproductive tract condition were confirmed by transrectal palpation. After the application of the PGF2α each mare was observed during five consecutive days. The study showed that micro-dose of PGF2α administered at the BAI-HUI acupuncture point, at a micro-dose, is as effective as the conventional dose applied for mare estrum induction.El presente estudio, se realizó en el Hospital Veterinario de la Universidad do Oeste Paulista (UNOESTE), Presidente Prudente-SP, Brasil.

Se utilizaron 15 yeguas sin raza definida (SRD), entre 5 y 10 años de edad, con una condición corporal de 3,3 y un peso aproximado de 350kg, las cuales fueron examinadas por palpación transrectal para confirmación de la condición del aparato genital, estando todas ciclando regularmente. Después de la aplicación de la PGF2α, se observaron durante cinco días consecutivos. Los datos obtenidos indican que la PGF2α administrada en el punto de acupuntura BAI-HUI en una dosis reducida, es igualmente efectiva que la dosis convencional en la inducción de estro en yeguas
Uso de subdoses hormonais aplicadas no acuponto Bai Hui em protocolos de sincronização de estro para cabras
No full textThe objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of delivering reduced doses of hormones via the Bai Hui acupoint in estrus synchronization in goats. A total of 40 goats received intravaginal sponges with medroxyprogesterone acetate for 7 days. The goats were then randomly distributed into 5 treatment: T1 - application of 132.5 ?g of cloprostenol and 300 IU of equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG), both by intramuscular injection (IM); T2 - application of 39.75 ?g cloprostenol at the Bai Hui acupoint, and 300 IU of eCG by IM; T3 - application of 132.5 ?g of cloprostenol by IM, and 90 IU of eCG at the Bai Hui acupoint; T4 - application of 39.75?g of cloprostenol and 90 UI of eCG, both in Bai Hui and T5 acupuncture: application of 39.75?g of cloprostenol and 90 UI of eCG, both applied in false acupoint. The goats were subjected to an estrus synchronization protocol and monitored for estrus detection, coverage and evaluation of reproductive parameters to detect entry into estrus. The data were subjected to normality tests, followed by appropriate statistical analyses of each variable. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) in the percentage of animals in estrus (95.00 ± 11.18%), interval between sponge removal and beginning of estrus (49.72 ± 8.93 h), interval between sponge removal and end of estrus (76.84 ± 11.98 h), duration of estrus (27.08 ± 8.68 h), size of the largest follicle (6.82 ± 0.44 mm), interval between sponge removal and ovulation (78.28 ± 10.82 h), time from ovarian onset to estrus (28.52 ± 5.44 h), follicular growth rate (0.86 ± 0.29 mm/day), number of ovulations (1.32 ± 0.23), plasma progesterone concentration at 7 days after ovulation (10.28 ± 1.65 ng.mL-1), and gestation rate at 30 days after the beginning of estrus (75 ± 12.5%). However, the cost of the synchronization protocol per animal was 43.42% lower in treatments 4 and 5 (30% of the doses) than in treatment 1 (100% of the dose). Ovulation and estrus were efficiently synchronized with the use of 39.75 ?g of sodium cloprostenol and 90 UI of eCG, applied at the Bai Hui acupoint or at a false acupoint.O objetivo com o estudo foi avaliar a utilização de subdoses hormonais aplicadas no acuponto Bai Hui em protocolos de sincronização de estro em cabras. Foram utilizadas 40 cabras, as quais receberam esponjas intravaginais com acetato de medroxiprogesterona durante 7 dias, quando foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em 5 tratamentos: T1: aplicação de 132,5?g de cloprostenol e 300UI de eCG, ambos por via intramuscular (IM); T2: aplicação de 39,75?g de cloprostenol no acuponto Bai Hui e 300UI de eCG IM; T3: aplicação de 132,5?g de cloprostenol IM e 90UI de eCG no acuponto Bai Hui; T4: aplicação de 39,75?g de cloprostenol e 90UI de eCG, ambos no acuponto Bai Hui e T5: aplicação de 39,75?g de cloprostenol e 90UI de eCG, ambos aplicados em falso acuponto. As cabras foram submetidas à protocolo de sincronização de estro e monitoradas para detecção de estro, realização das coberturas e avaliação dos parâmetros reprodutivos. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de normalidade, seguido dos testes estatísticos adequados para cada variável. Não obteve-se diferença (p > 0,05) para porcentagem de animais em estro (95,00 ± 11,18%), intervalo da retirada da esponja ao início do estro (49,72 ± 8,93h), intervalo da retirada da esponja ao final do estro (76,84 ± 11,98h), duração do estro (27,08 ± 8,68h), tamanho do maior folículo (6,82 ± 0,44mm), intervalo da retirada da esponja à ovulação (78,28 ± 10,82h), intervalo do início do estro à ovulação (28,52 ± 5,44h), taxa de crescimento folicular (0,86 ± 0,29mm/dia), número de ovulações (1,32 ± 0,23), concentração de progesterona plasmática aos 7 dias após ovulação (10,28 ± 1,65ng.mL-1) e para taxa de gestação aos 30 dias (75 ± 12,5%). Porém, o custo do protocolo de sincronização por animal foi 43,42% menor para os tratamentos T4 e T5 (30% da dose) comparado com o T1 (100% da dose). A ovulação e o estro foram eficientemente sincronizados com a utilização de 39,75?g de cloprostenol sódico e 90UI de eCG, aplicados no acuponto Bai Hui ou em falso acuponto

Indução da ovulação mediada por acupuntura em éguas: avaliação da eficácia da subdose de histrelina nos acupontos Bai-hui e Vaso Governador 1
Full text linkPharmacopuncture has been established for estrus induction in mares using hormonal subdoses, but studies for ovulation induction are scarce. This study aimed to assess the impact of acupuncture on ovulation in mares, utilizing subdoses of histrelin at Bai-hui (BH) and Governing Vessel-1 (GV-1) acupoints. Three groups were designated for ovulation induction: BH (n = 17) and GV1 (n = 19) received 75 µg histrelin at the acupoints, while control group (CG, n = 38) received 250 µg intramuscularly; histrelin was administered when follicles reached 35 mm. The ovulation rate within 48 hours was investigated over two estrus cycles. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA test with significance set at p < 0.05. Initially, ovulation rates within 48 hours were 80.6%, 88.2%, and 73.7% for CG, BH, and GV1, respectively, with no significant difference among the groups (p > 0.05). In the second estrus cycle, ovulation rates within 48 hours were 80.6%, 90.9%, and 91.7% for CG, BH, and GV1, respectively. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that a subdose of histrelin at 75 µgis sufficient to induce ovulation in mares when administered at the Bai-hui or GV-1 acupoints.A farmacopuntura foi estabelecida para indução de estro em éguas usando subdoses hormonais, mas estudos para indução de ovulação são escassos. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto da acupuntura na ovulação em éguas, utilizando subdoses de histrelina nos pontos de acupuntura Bai-hui (BH) e Vaso Go-vernador-1 (GV-1). Três grupos foram designados para indução de ovulação: BH (n = 17) e GV1 (n = 19) rece-beram 75 µg de histrelina nos pontos de acupuntura, enquanto o grupo controle (GC, n = 38) recebeu 250 µg intramuscularmente; a histrelina foi administrada quando os folículos atingiram 35 mm. A taxa de ovulação em 48 horas foi investigada ao longo de dois ciclos de estro. Os dados foram analisados usando o teste ANOVA unidirecional com significância definida em p < 0,05. Inicialmente, as taxas de ovulação em 48 horas foram de 80,6%, 88,2% e 73,7% para GC, BH e GV1, respectivamente, sem diferença significativa entre os grupos (p > 0,05). No segundo ciclo estral, as taxas de ovulação em 48 horas foram de 80,6%, 90,9% e 91,7% para GC, BH e GV1, respectivamente. Em conclusão, este estudo demonstra que uma subdose de histrelina de 75 µg é suficiente para induzir a ovulação em éguas quando administrada nos acupontos Bai-hui ou GV-1
