近年来

对肾上腺髓质在镇痛与针刺麻醉过程中的作用曾有报导。但有关针刺对肾上腺髓质去甲肾上腺素细胞机能影响的研究尚属少见。本实验采用6-羟基多巴胺损坏去甲肾上腺素能节后交感神经纤维末梢的动物模型

并应用组化定量的方法

观察针刺对髓质去甲肾上腺素细胞的作用和分析其作用的所属途径。今将实验总结如下:The animal models of adrenergic postganglionic sympathetic nervous fibre damaged by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) had been used.31 healthy rats divided into four groups:Control group;6-OHDA group;6-OHDA plus re- Straining group;and 6-OHDA restraining and acupunctrure group. The results indicated that the restraining and acupuncture could promote the release of adrenal medullar noradrenaline.This shows that acupuncture would exert it function through the cholinergic preganglionic sympathetic nervous fibre.
