Acupuncture Taichong Point On The Left Hand Off The Pulse Parameters

The paper consists two parts: literature review and experimental study. The firstsection reviews and introduces the experimental survey of the Chinesepulse-diagnostic history. The second section is Experimental Research as follows:Objective: To discuss and prove the old Chinese theory that left 'cun'portion (It islocated on the upper edge of the styloid process of the radios and at the radial end ofthe left wrist. ) represent certain bowels or viscera through the experiment by healthyundergraduates.Methods: All experimental objects are from healthy undergraduates. Thesepeoples are divided into two groups:LR3 Group and EX-LE7 Group(Model Group).Every group has 30 peoples and every people will accept the therapy of acupuncturewith needles. Two different Group are treated with different acu-points. People in LR3Group use LR3 point and people in Model Group use EX-LE7 point. Before and afteracupuncture every body's pulse tracings map are measured respectively by particularsphygmograph. Then discuss the experimental data and analyze the experimentalresults.Results:(1) Before and after acupuncture, the score level of HI, H3, H3/H1 and T in LR3Group are significant differently(P<0.05). All scores were increased in LR3Group after acupuncture.(2) Before and after acupuncture, the score level of H3 and T in Model Group aresignificant differently(P<0.05).(3) Compared between the LR3 Group and model group, the score level ofâ–³hl,â–³h3 andâ–³hl/â–³h3 (P<0.01) are in the same degree and the score level ofâ–³t aremore increased in model group.(4) There are fewer changes about the pulse name, pulse depth, pulse power,pulse rhythm and pulse position in LR3 Group and model group. The minority ofexperimental parameter are converge to middle degree.Conclusion:Acupuncturing LR3 point can promote the heart capacity and prolong the pulsecycle. Acupuncturing LR3 has the active and moderate function toward heart andvessels system. Although the LR3 point has particular action to human body, theeffects are feeble. Conclusively, the experimental data can not prove the old Chinesetheory that left 'cun'portion represent certain bowels or viscera because the two groupshas not essential difference in this acupuncturing experiment.
