目的 :建立穴位断面数字解剖学

提高穴位的形态认识。方法 :采用了标本灌注后穴位的断面切割和逐层切割方法。建立穴位断面标本图像库和人体标定穴位后的逐层断面解剖图片库。结果 :获得 43 9个穴位断面标本和图像 2 3 0 0张

全身逐层断面图像标本 1 0 58张。结论 :人体穴位标本断面切割是研究和实验数字穴位解剖学的基础

切割标本也为穴位的其他相关的形态和机能的系统研究提供了原始的形态图像资料Objective: To study the practicability of the cutting approach of the acupoint with 3-dimensional reconstruction computer software and to provide primary anatomic image data of acupoints. Methods: Four male corpses were used as the samples. According to Chinese United National Criteria for Acupoint Locations formulated in 1990

157 commonly-used acupoints were located first

followed by arterial infusion of 1% heparin-saline (2000 mL)

5%

10% and 20% ABS-2-butanone mixed with scarlet dye (repeated the infusion procedures on the 2 nd and 3 rd day with the same 20% fluid). The human corpse was frozen for 7 days under -30 ℃. A hole was made at the orientated acupoint by using a high-speed bit and then filled with plasticine

with the sample being frozen again for 3 days more. The frozen samples were collected to be cased (wooden cases) and frozen again under -30 ℃ for 2 days. Following fixing

the samples were cut below 2 mm thick sections along the sagittal or horizontal section with a high-speed steel plane machine. Following cutting

the located position was restored

photographed and videotaped simultaneously. Results: A total of 1058 photos (2300 pieces of image library) of sectional anatomic specimens of 209 acupoints were collected to be imported into a computer. Our research showed that acupoint is organically composed of many kinds of normal tissues which make up a space construction. It is not easy to comprehend and grasp acupoint's anatomical structure

especially those liable to induce unfavorable results (if a wrong needling operation was adopted) but important

while it is very important for clinical treatment and teaching yet. Gathering of the image data is much useful for acupuncture teaching

clinical treatment

scientific research

self-study and popularization of TCM knowledge. Conclusion: To adopt corpse sample to take anatomical images of various layers and sections of the acupoint and to utilize computer software to perform cutting and reconstruction of the human body can help us observe various structures of the acupoint from different angles.
