bookPart 0 Citação(ões) na Scopus Who seeks for acupuncture in brazil? A study of the patients that go to teaching outpatient services(2014) ROLAND, M. I. De França; GIANINI, R. J.; AKIYAMA, K.Acupuncuture, a therapeutic strategy of classical Chinese medicine, it began to be quoted in the West in the sixteenth century. After a period of obscurity, it has been used in the treatment of different diseases, acute or chronic. During the second half of the twentieth century it was associated with certain social groups, or people with higher income and education. We studied the broader spectrum of acupuncture patient profiles, as well as the need to consolidate the availability of this service in Brazil within the national health system Sistema único de Saúde (SUS), especially in primary care, given its preventive nature. Using a qualitative approach, the study builds an actor-network theory characterization of acupuncture patients, using the methodology of Bruno Latour and colleagues. Participant observation was conducted in Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo Medical School (HC-FMUSP), and in a private clinic. Twenty five patients receiving outpatient care were interviewed. The results show that patients are mostly female, middle aged and low income, with various health conditions. We found an important demand for acupuncture, which is not met by health care for this kind of people and especially for those with chronic diseases. Acupuncture may also be useful as alternative therapy in cases of nonadaptation to conventional treatments. These results are consistent with the literature. © 2014 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.- Geraldo Horacio de Paula Souza, China and Chinese medicine, 1928-1943(2013) ROLAND, Maria Ines de Franca; GIANINI, Reinaldo JoseThis essay is on the writings of sanitary doctor Geraldo Horacio de Paula Souza in Eugenia e Imigracao (1928) and, after an official trip to the Orient, in Digressoes sobre a medicina chinesa classica (1942) and A sabedoria chinesa diante da ciencia ocidental e a Escola Medica de Pequim (1943). The documents, analyzed according to the conceptual approach of Carlo Ginzburg, indicate a change in his view of the Chinese. Trained according to the Rockefeller Foundation's model of experimental medicine, Geraldo de Paula Souza was guided in his work by scientific rigor and record imagery. In his youth he was of the opinion that the Chinese civilization was stagnated, but this view changed after his visit, when he perceived the Chinese republic's capacity to modernize.

It also identifies the need for regulation of the teaching and practice of acupuncture and recognition of other healthcare professionals as colleagues in the practice of this therapeutic method.
