The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA) on gastric accommodation, gastric dysrhythmia, and gastric emptying (GE) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Five experiments were performed in five groups of STZ-induced diabetic rats to study the effects of EA at ST-36 (Zusanli) on gastric slow-wave dysrhythmia, delayed GE and intestinal ...

Two hundred and three male patients undergoing oral surgery were monitored for abnormalities of cardiac rhythm. Eight per cent of a smaller number of patients (seventy-six) developed ectopic rhythms during induction of anaesthesia and in half of all patients nodal rhythm was seen. Twenty-three per cent developed ectopic rhythms in response to surgery. In three per cent of patients these were of...
