针灸治疗猴细菌性痢疾的疗效和部分机理的讨论已在前文中报导。为了对针灸治疗细菌性痢疾过程中与痛觉有密切联系的胆碱能神经末梢形成和释放进行观察

我们系统分析了针灸治疗前后和整个治疗过程全血胆碱酯酶活力的变化

同时还对与免疫功能有关的血清蛋白质在针灸过程中比例的变化进行了醋酸纤维薄膜电泳的分析

并且拍摄了聚丙烯酰胺凝胶盘状电泳(disc 电泳)的图谱

对血清清蛋白、α-球蛋白、β-球蛋白和γ-球蛋白中 IgA、IgM、IgG 电泳行为进行了讨论.现将结果初报如下:This paper reported the results of whole blood choline esterase

serum protein ratio and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(Disc)that were obser- ved in the course of monkeys' experimental bacillous dysentery treated by acupuncture and moxibustion.When the monkeys were infected and suffered from dysentery

the activity of blood choline esterse decreased 17.43%(the maximal decreasing value was 25.98)

which denoted the pain causing ma- terial acetyl choline began to accumulate when the monkeys were sick.After acupuncture treatment

the pain of the sick monkeys was alliviated or di- sappeared

then the actvity of blood choline esterase returned to normal level gradually. The mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment is to improve the effectiveness of immumne system in sick monkeys.In order to identify this situation

we have tested the serum protein ratio by cellulose acetate membrane electrophoresis

and the results presented that when the monkeys were infected by experimental bacillous dysentery

then the r-globulin in their serum decreased from normal level 18.08% to 12.32%.After acupun- cture treatment the quantity returned to the normal level two months later. It means that mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion may improve the effectiveness of immune system in the monkeys.
