The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of PERSICAE SEMEN aquacupunture in the meridian points Ta｀icho￣ng(LR3) and Zho￣ngfe￣ng(LR4) on the intravascular coagulation induced by endotoxin in rats.
Experimental group was divided into 1st day group and 2nd day group. And these groups are divided into 4 groups ; Control group, PERSICAE SEMEN aquacupuncture group treated on the Blank loci(Sample I), Zho￣ngfe￣ng loci(SampleII) and Ta｀icho￣ng loci(SampleIII).
Then hematocrit rate, the number of leukocyte, hemoglobin and platelet, prothrombin time, concentration of fibrinogen and FDP(Fibirin-fibrinogen degradation products) were measured.
The results were as follows;
1. The number of leukocyte was significantly increased in the 1st day´s Sample I and SampleII, and it was significantly decreased in the 2nd day´s Sample I and Sample II as compared with the control group.
2. The rate of hematocrit was significantly decreased in the 2nd day´s experimental groups as compared with the control group.
3. The platelet count was significantly increased in the 1st day´s Sample I , 1st day`s SampleIII, and all of the 2nd day´s experimental groups as compared with the control group.
4. The concentration of fibrinogen was significantly increased in the 1st day´s SampleIII, 2nd day´s SampleII and 2nd day´s SamplelII as compared with the control group.
5. The prothrombin time was significantly decreased in the 1st day´s SampleIII as compared with the control group.
6. FDP levels were significantly decreased in all of the experimental groups as compared with the control group.
