LR3
Note: LR3 can be felt in the depression when moving proximally from LR2 in the gap between the first and second metatarsal bones towards the base of two metatarsal bones.
Deng 1993:
Cutaneous nerves have vascular branches (VBs) that reach the arteries and are thought to be involved in arterial constriction. We aimed to examine the anatomical and histological relationship between the VBs of a cutaneous nerve in the foot and the acupuncture point LR3 (Taichong), which is a depression between the base of the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsum of the foot and is a source point of the foot. We examined 40 cadaver feet to assess the distribution areas of the VBs of the medial branch of the deep peroneal nerve (MBDPN). MBDPNs were distally followed to identify the point where the VBs reached the arteries. The distance between the point and LR3 was measured. Sympathetic fibers in the VBs were histologically observed using tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunostaining. The VBs of the MBDPNs reaching the dorsal pedis arteries were observed in all specimens (100%). The mean distance between LR3 and the point where the VBs of the MBDPN reached the arteries was 3.2 ± 2.6 mm. Among the VBs, 70% were distributed proximal to LR3. Moreover, TH-positive fibers were present in the VBs. These findings revealed that a part of the MBDPN distributed the dorsal pedis artery and contained sympathetic fibers. We also found that the distribution area of the VBs was close to LR3. Our study provides anatomical evidence that LR3 is a specific area and its stimulation would be useful for treating peripheral circulatory failure.

The indications of acupoints are thought to be highly associated with the lines of the meridian systems. The present study used data mining methods to analyze the characteristics of the indications of each acupoint and to visualize the relationships between the acupoints and disease sites in the classic Korean medical text Chimgoogyeongheombang. Using a term frequency-inverse document frequency (tf-idf) scheme, the present study extracted valuable data regarding the indications of each acupoint according to the frequency of the cooccurrences of eight Source points and eighteen disease sites. Furthermore, the spatial patterns of the indications of each acupoint on a body map were visualized according to the tf-idf values. Each acupoint along the different meridians exhibited different constellation patterns at various disease sites. Additionally, the spatial patterns of the indications of each acupoint were highly associated with the route of the corresponding meridian. The present findings demonstrate that the indications of each acupoint were primarily associated with the corresponding meridian system. Furthermore, these findings suggest that the routes of the meridians may have clinical implications in terms of identifying the constellations of the indications of acupoints.

Objective To observe the anti-hypertension effect of selecting Taichong (LR3) as the major point plus its common-meridian acupoint on the spontaneous hypertension rat (SHR), and to explore the effect of acupoint compatibility on the action of acupoints. Method Ninety SHRs were randomized into a model group, a non-acupoint group, Taichong group, Neiguan (PC6) group, Taichong plus Neiguan group, and Taichong plus non-acupoint group, 15 rats in each group. The acupuncture needles were retained in acupoints for 30 min, once every day, 15 times in total; the model group didn't receive acupuncture treatment. The blood pressure was examined on the day 1, 3, 7, and 15 of the acupuncture treatment. Result The non-acupoint group didn't show significant anti-hypertension effect. On the day 3, 7, and 15 of the acupuncture treatment, the reductions of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial blood pressure (MBP) of Taichong group, Neiguan group, Taichong plus non-acupoint group, and Taichong plus Neiguan group were significantly different from those ofthe model group (P<0.01,P< 0.05); on the day 15, The reductions of SBP, DBP, and MBP of Taichong plus Neiguan group were superior to those of Taichong group, Neiguan group, and Taichong plus non-acupoint group (P<0.01 ,P<0.05). On the day 1, 3, 7, and 1 5, the reductions of SBP, DBP, and MBP in Taichong plus Neiguan group were statistically significant (P<0.01,P<0.05), and the reductions on the day 15 were significantly better than those on the day 1, 3, and 7 (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture at Taichong and Neiguan has better anti-hypertension effect than acupuncture at single acupoint or at Taichong plus non-acupoint. Meanwhile, it's found that the anti-hypertension effect of acupuncture is an accumulative effect.
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of deep needling at orbital points as main treatment for age-related macular degeneration. Methods Forty-seven patients (94 eyes) with age-related macular degeneration (dry) were randomly allocated to three groups: acupuncture group of22 cases (44 eyes), Western drug group of 15 cases (30 eyes) and blank control group of 10 cases (20 eyes). For the acupuncture group selected were orbital points Jingming, Shangming, medial tongziliao, Jianming, Chengqi and Qiuhou, and point Taichong. The Western drug group received oral administration ofvitamin C 0.2 g and vitamin E O. 1 g, three tiines a day. The blank control group was clinically followed up and not given any treatments. Best-corrected visual acuities, fundus photographs and fundus fluorescein angiograms were compared between the three groups before and after treatment. Results There was no statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in best-corrected visual acuity in the acupuncture group (P> 0.05). Best-corrected visual acuity decreased in both Western drug and blank control groups afler treatment and there was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in the two groups (P-O.O1). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in best-corrected visual acuity between the acupuncture group and the Western drug or blaiik control group (P<O.05). After treatment, the atrophy of macular pigment epithelia in the posterior pole of eyeball lightened, pigment disorders disappeared, retinal edema abated markedly and fresh bleeding or exudation was invisible in 32 eyes in the acupuncture group after treatment. However, they did not basically improve in the Western drug and blank control groups of patients after treatment. Conclusion Acupuncture has a better therapeutic effect on age-related macular degeneration.
