摘要:The present investigation was undertaken to observe the effects of head point-cardiovascular point needling on the cardiac function and hemodynamics in 8 anesthetized dogs, arid to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and its clinical implications. Cardiovascular point needling might induce significant changes in cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters: arterial systolic pressure decreased by 22.4±8.88 from 104.6±20.55mmHg, diastolic pressure by 16.7±8.04 from 66.5±18.03mmHg, mean arterial pressure by 18.6±8.16 from 79.2±18.36 mmHg, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure by 0.3±0.47 from 3.6±1.94 mmHg, Lv dp/dt max by 300.1±200.1 from 2000.1±700.8mmHg/s, coronary resistance by 399±310 from 1959±1150 dyn.s.cm-5, femoral arterial resistance by 242±634 from 2438±1595 dyn.s.cm(-5), total peripheral resistance by 1570.7 ±691.0 from 9000.2±2537.4 dyn.s.cm(-5), total peripheral resistance by 1570.7 ±691.0 from 9000.2±2537.4 dyn.s.cm(-5), and left ventricular work index by 2.7±1.9 from 11.4±5.17kg.m/min/m(-5), and left ventricular work index by 2.7±1.9 from 11.4±5.17kg.m/min/m2, whereas the coronary sinus blood flow increased by 0.7±1.6 from 33.6±14.7ml/min. There were significant differences between the values of all parameters before and after cardiovascular point needling (p>0.005). The results indicated that cardiovascular point needling was capable of lowering the cardiac preload and afterload with resultant fall in blood pressure and cardiac oxygen consumption, as well as relaxing the coronary vessels and consequent increase in coronary blood flow with enhanced oxygen supply. These beneficial effects induced by cardiovascular point needling provided the basis for the treatment of hypertension, coronary artery diseases and cardiac failure in clinic.

摘要:This paper reports the study of the effect of ear electroacupunclurc(EA) inserted in the "Er Jian" point on arterial pressure and integrated phrenic nerve discharge(IPND), The result showed that the arterial pressure was decreased and frequency of IPND was increased. The differences as follows. During spontaneous breathing, the blood pressure and IPND were-36.56± 26.63mmHg and, 2.42±1.42 spikes/10S (P<0.001); in excitatory period, -24.31 ±6.01mmHg and, 2.16±1.12spikes/10S (P<0.01) and in inhibitory period, -18.26±7.04mmHg (P<0.01) and, 2.07±1.07 spikes/10S (P<0.05). The lasting time was 26min, 330S and 280S. We observed 20 cases with hypertension by ear electroacupuncture. The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure of hypertension patients were decreased (P<0.001) and respiratory rate increased (P<0.05).
摘要:We determinated the content of substance P in the serum of 56 gravida with radiommunoassay before and after acupuncture during the active period of the delivery. The result suggested that the acupuncture may be decline the content of substance P in the serum of the gravida, so that played role of analgesic effects.
摘要:Visualization of meridians has been carried out by means of infrared thermography and radionuclide scintigraphy, but real success was hardly achived on some special regions including facial channels. In this paper, we would represent some imagings of thermal line along channels by means of infrared thermography. Distribution of the facial temperature in 139 cases of healthy volunteers and 305 cases of patients with facial paralysis was observed with model AGA-782 infrared thermovision and TC-800 computer. In all cases of patients and 15 cases of healthy persons, acupuncture test was conducted. Special program, DISCO3.1 was used to process the thermographic data and the results were as follows: 1. Facial thermal line along channel was presented in 95 out of 444 cases. High temperature line along bladder channel appeared in 84 cases of them; 2. In 26 out of 95 cases, the thermal line appeared after acupuncture, which could improve the imaging of the line; 3. The range of the temperature was within 1.3℃, in some cases only 0.2-0.3℃, with±0.5-1.0℃ difference to surrounding temperatures the width of the line was 1-1.5cm in most cases; 4. The line could appear stably, in some cases, last for several days, weeks or months; 5. Certain relationship between the appearing of the line and facial paralysis was found. As mentioned above, the thermal characteristics of meridians in face could be visualized by means of infrared thermography, the special imaging of facial tenperature along bladder meridian was easity found, related to facial troubles and promoted by acupuncture.
摘要:This paper reports 300 coronary heart disease patients with different needling sensations, mainly with distension, when acupuncturing Neiguan by identical acupuncture doctor with same manipulation. The higher rate of PSM appearance and better acupuncture effect were observed, in patients with compound sensation, such as sourness-distension and distension-numbness. All of the patients who felt pain did not appear PSM and the acupuncture effect was poor. The appearance rate of PSM and acupuncture effect of other kind needling sensations were between the two. The results showed the kind of needling sensation while acupuncture had close relation with the appearance of PSM and the acupuncture effect.
