Influence of Acupuncture and Moxibustion on Serum CSF Activity of Patients with Leukopenia Caused by Chemotherapy[J]. Acupuncture research, 1999, (1): 17-19.DOI:
The patients with leukopenia caused by chemotherapy were treated with acupuncture and moxibustion. Before and after treatment
the WBC of peripheral blood was counted with routine examination. Besides
the activity of serum colony stimulating factor (CSF) was detected with cell culture. It is proved that acupuncture and moxibustion have the confirmed effect on leukopenia. One of the mechanisms is that acupuncture and moxibustion can improve CSF activity. In addition
the results indicate that CSF activity is regulated by WBC negative feedback.
