The Changes of Ca~(2+) in Points along the Pericardium Channel and the Influence of Acupuncturing Neiguan[J]. Acupuncture research, 1998, (4): 251-253.DOI:
The dynamic changes of Ca2+ in the points along the Pericardium Channel in the arrhythmia rabbits induced by aconitine and the influence of acupuncturing Neiguan were observed
self- made needlelike Ca2+ selective electrodes were applied. The result: during the period of arrhythmia appears
Ca2+in some points(e. g. Quze
point 2cm apart from Neiguan) decreased and then restored gradually
but can' t get the level as normal. Acupuncturing Neiguan could inhibit the decrease of Ca2+ in the points mentioned above
and restored the level of as normal. The control points(Quchi
Zusanli
point in the Lung Channel) has no changes as that mentioned above. It demonstrated that the Ca2+ along the Pericardium Channel changes specially during the period of arrhythmia
and acupuncturing Neiguan can modify this type of changes. The authors consider that the calcium ion has some important functions related to the activity of the meridians.
