OBJECTIVE: To observe the specificity relationship between acupuncture at “Hegu” (LI 4) and the facial muscular movement in rhesus monkeys under the physiological state by using neuromuscular electrical measurement technique. METHODS: Eighteen rhesus monkeys were randomized into a Hegu group, a Houxi group and a Waiguan group, 6 monkeys in each one. Under the physiological state, EMG was detected on the frontal muscle, zygomatic muscle and orbicular muscle before and after acupuncture at different acupoints. The impacts of acupuncture on the facial EMG were studied and compared among different acupoints. RESULTS: With acupuncture at “Hegu” (LI 4), the latency was reduced (P < 0.01) and the peak value and area were increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) in the frontal EMG; the area and the peak value were increased (P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and latency was reduced (P < 0.05) in the zygomatic EMG; the frequency was increased (P < 0.01) and the latency was reduced (P < 0.05) in the orbicular EMG. Before and after acupuncture at “Hegu” (LI 4), the change rates of EMG frequency, peak value, area and latency on the frontal, zygomatic and orbicular muscles were higher than those at “Houxi” (SI 3) and “Waiguan” (TE 5) (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) separately. CONCLUSION: The relative specificity presents between Hegu (LI 4) and facial muscular movement.
In this study two acupoints not traditionally prescribed for asthma, Yangchi (SJ 4), and Waiguan (SJ 5) were compared to the classically prescribed points Feishu (Bl 13) and Dazhui (GV 14). Respiratory parameters and acute ventilatory responses to acupuncture in 20 chronic asthmatic patients were assessed including respiratory frequency, tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow rate, etc. The results suggest that the Sanjiao points should be considered when choosing points for treating asthma. The author proposes possible explanations for the results from both the perspectives of traditional Chinese theory and Western physiology.
