Abstract： To design an auricular acupoint probe with adjustable probe angle, in order to detect the positive points of special parts of auricle more accurately. The probe rod is composed of a hand-held handle, a connecting rod and a probe. The characteristics of the probe are as follows: a primary angle adjusting device is provided at the connection of the hand-held handle and the connecting rod, and a secondary angle adjusting device is provided at the connecting end of the connecting rod and the probe. The probe is convenient for the operator to fix the hole in the special part of the earlobe, and is more beneficial to the operator to save force. The probe is easy to operate and suitable for all kinds of patients. It has good clinical application prospect and is worth popularizing.

Abstract： Objective To investigate the effect of a three-step auricular acupoint therapy in the treatment of primary tinnitus. Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with primary tinnitus were retrospectively analyzed. Key issues in implementation of three-step auricular acupoint therapy and related nursing were summarized. Results The score of Tinnitus Evaluation Questionnaire(TEQ) was lower after treatment compared with that before treatment (P＜0.05). The score of Tinnitus Handicap Inventory(THI) dropped form (32.63±11.67) before treatment to(32.63±11.67) after treatment, with a significant difference(P＜0.05). The marked effective rate was 52.17%(12/23) after 2 courses of treatment. Conclusion The three-step auricular acupoint therapy, consisting of auricular massage, auricular scraping therapy, and auricular acupoint sticking and pressing therapy by syndrome differentiation, is an easy-to-operate and effective therapy for primary tinnitus.

Abstract： Objective To observe the effect of auricular acupoint sticking and pressing therapy on preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing thoracolumbar surgery under general anesthesia. Methods To retrospectively analysis the clinical data of 126 patients who underwent posterior thoracolumbar surgery under general anesthesia, including 37 patients who underwent auricular point sticking and pressing 24 hours before surgery (group A), 48 patients who underwent auricular point sticking and pressing after surgery(group B) and 41 patients without auricular acupoint sticking and pressing therapy after operation (group C). Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and PONV scores were recorded at 8 h, 24 h and 48 h after operation. Results Among the three groups of patients, group A had the lowest incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and the lowest PONV score. The incidence of PONV at 48h after operation was 35.13%, which was significantly lower than that in the group C（P<0.05）. Compared with group C, PONV condition were improved to some extent in group B, and the incidence of PONV at 8h, 24h, and 48h after operation were 41.67%, 47.92%, and 35.42%, respectively，lower than those in the group C（P<0.05）. There was no significant difference in the incidence and PONV score between group A and group B （P＞0.05）. Conclusion Auricular acupoint sticking and pressing therapy in perioperative period can reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients with thoracolumbar surgery, and reduce the incidence of related complications. However, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was still high after implementation of auricular acupoint sticking and pressing therapy alone.
