针灸治病的调整功能是多方面的

对免疫机能的调整是其中的一个方面

为了探讨针灸调整功能

本文从免疫学实验指标的变化

进行一些分析

现将所做细胞免疫和体液免疫两部分工作

整理报道如下: 一、针灸对细胞免疫的调整功能 1.淋巴细胞转化率测定:采用TC“199”液加PHA培养

收集细胞悬浮液

涂片染色

镜检计数

计算每个样品200个淋巴细胞

求出淋巴细胞转化率(％)。为了With long-term clinical practices and repeated experimental studies at hand in these Chinese special medical line

acupuncture and moxibus- tion could be in themselves giving rise to enhancing and strenghthening the functional capacity in immunal systen and adjusting immunicational functioning to a normal level

the treatment of acupuncture and moxibus- tion could fastly and evidently increase the lymphocytic transformation rate (p<0.001) within 6 to 8 hours of short duration

no matter what it is occurred in the aspects of either inflammatery or noninflammatory disea- ses

but some other stimulations and irritabilitics such as stabbing or so- me small scale operations in treatment could not whow any in effects at all. Acupuncture and moxibustion could also increase the high significan- ce level (p<0.001) so as to lower the the absolute value of lymhocyte and the E-rosette forming rate as well as the positive staining rate of lymphocyte esterase when it was indicated in the case of dysentery pati- ents and animal models (for example

Macaca mulatta and domestic do- gs). Besides these

acupuncture and moxibution could also reduce the Ni- troblue Tetrazolium Neutrophil Phagocytic index which had ever been in- crcasing sometime significatly and will approach the approximately nor- mal value

and meanwhile

they could be raised to a much higher signi- ficance level (p<0.05) on the side of bacterial phagocytism activity. As in the case of dysentery and othe inflammatory diseases

by frea- ting with the aid of acupuncture and moxibustion

we could increase the contents of serum IgG

IgA and IgM. In contrast

these would show a decreasing tendency if we treat these dysentery patients by using Gen- tamycin. And all the more

acupuncture and moxibustion would have the ability of raising the level of serum C_3

sometimes they are not only able to strengthen significantly the bactericidal power of plasma

but al- so they could be encouraged to find out the earlier formation of serum and stool antibody in the dysentery model as it was shown in Macaca mulatta four days ahead of routine schedule under titration

the serum antibody in acupuncture group was twofold as high as in that of control group

so that we can see that the functions in the reinforcement of bo- dily resistance as well as in the elimination of pathogens by treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion accomplished through the fulfilment of the immuno-competence in our experiment.
