Clinical effect of electroacupuncture at Baihui and Shuigou points in treatment of brain injury in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of electroacupuncture at Baihui(GV20) and Shuigou(GV26) points in the treatment of brain injury in patients with sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE). Methods A total of 70 patients with SAE were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, with 35 patients in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine western medicine treatment, including anti-infective therapy, nerve nutrition, and mechanical ventilation, and those in the treatment group were given electroacupuncture at GV20 and GV26 in addition to the treatment in the control group. The course of treatment was 1 week for both groups. Serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP), interleukin-6(IL-6), and neuron-specific enolase(NSE) were measured for both groups, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) scale was used to assess the change in cognitive function, and Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS) score was determined before and after treatment and was used to evaluate treatment outcome after treatment. Results Both groups had significant reductions in the serum levels of CRP, IL-6, and NSE after 24 h and one week of treatment(P<0.05), and compared with the control group, the treatment group had significant reductions in the levels of CRP, IL-6 and NSE after treatment(P<0.05). The treatment group had significant increases in the total score of MoCA and the scores of all dimensions except attention after one week of treatment(P<0.05), and the treatment group had significantly higher scores than the control group after treatment(P<0.05). Both groups had a significant increase in GCS score after one week of treatment(P<0.05), and the treatment group had a significantly higher GCS score than the control group after treatment(P<0.05). The treatment group had a significantly higher total effective rate than the control group [88.6%(31/35) vs 57.1%(20/35), P<0.05]. Conclusion Electroacupuncture at GV20 and GV26 can effectively improve brain injury and effective rate in SAE patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
