Anorexia has become a common and frequently-occurring disease at thedepartment of pediatrics now. The disease calls both parents and medicinecircles'attention for its affection to children's growth and physicaldevelopment. Point EX-UE10 is the specific point for the treatment of childinfantile malnutrition (gan disease in TCM), which has the similar causes andpathogenesis with the disease of anorexia. So EX-UE10 has been widely used totreat child anorexia for the last twenty years. According to the analysis onthe last 20 years'documents about using EX-UE10 to treat child anorexia, itis found that the locations of EX-UE10 and the standards of diagnosis andtreatmentaredifferent;mostarticlesarenarrativeoronlyexperts'opinions,while seldom are based on the clinic research with randomly grouped cases;research on the curative effect of EX-UE10 is quite rare.So this article studiesthe clinic effects of EX-UE10 in the treatment of child anorexia, and discussesthe specific location of EX-UE10 and its mechanism through clinic research onrandomly grouped cases.Methods92 cases are randomly distributed into the blank group, EX-UE10 treatmentgroup and the near part control group. 90 cases have finished the whole researchcourse and the other two dropped. Patients of the blank group come to the cliniconce a week for a month, altogether four times without any treatment. Onlyobserve their related data before and after the month. Patients of the treatmentgroup are pricked on EX-UE10 points on one hand and on the other next time, andthey also come to the clinic once a week altogether four times. Patients of thecontrolgroupareprickedonthenearpart(themiddlepointofthefartherfingerjoints compared to EX-UE10).

Thedatum line of the three groups is good, and they are quite comparable (P>0.05).Results1.Cliniceffectiverateandsyndromeeffectiverate:thetreatmentgroup'sand control group's effective rates are 93.3% and 80% respectively.
