提高红细胞的变形能力。提示降低血粘度可能是针刺治疗突发性耳聋的机理之一Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture on hemorheology and cellular rheology for exploring mechanisms of acupuncture in the treatment of sudden deafness. Methods: A total of 50 deafness inpatients and outpatients were observed in this paper. Ermen (TE 21)
Tinggong (SI 19)
Tinghui (GB 2)
Yifeng (TE 17)
Zhongzhu (KI 15)
Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Taixi (KI 3) were punctured
one time a day
with 6 days being a course of treatment. The interval among the therapeutic courses was one day
and the acupuncture treatment was conducted continuously for 4 courses. Before and after acupuncture treatment
blood samples were collected for detecting changes of whole blood high shear visicosity (WBHSV)
whole blood low shear visicosity (WBLSV)
plasma visicosity (PV)
blood cell volume (BCV)
fibrinogen (FG)
hemagglutination index (HGI) and erythrocyte distortion index (EDI).Results: Before treatment
WBHSV
WBLSV
PV
BCV
FG and HGI values were all obviously higher than those of normal values (P<0.05)
after treatment
these values reduced considerably (P<0.05); while EDI of pre-treatment was lower than normal value
after treatment
it increased significantly (P<0.05). It suggests that in deafness patients
acupuncture can apparently improve hemorheology and cellular rheology. Conclusion: Acupuncture can correct abnormal changes of hemorheology and cellular rheology
