Abstract

|
To confirm the meridian system and acupoints a pathways of functional structure, ST-36 and LU-10 were stimulated under the three conditions of nerve intact, surrounding nerve block and vagal nerve block. The results were expressed as gastric movement comparison. 1. Under nerve intact condition with ST-36 acupuncture, the stomach motility showed tendency of increase and decrease during acupuncture and following acupuncture, respectively. In the case of LU-10, the gastric activities were decreased at both circumstances. 2. When ST-36 was stimulated with sciatic nerve severed, the gastric activities were decreased at both circumstances. When LU-10 was stimulated with both median nerve and radial nerve severed, the gastric activities were decreased at both circumstances. 3. With vagal nerve severed, acupuncture of ST-36 and LU-10 caused the gastric movements to be decreased at both circumstances. 4. With ST-36 stimulated, the gastric activity showed a gradual increase with an order of nerve intact, sciatic nerve block and vagal nerve block. However, it was a gradual decrease with an order of nerve intact, radial block and vagal nerve block. Overall, ST-36 stimulation caused the stomach activity to be decreased with surrounding nerve and vagal nerve block and this was very similar in the LU-10. It is concluded that meridian system has a very close relationship with nervous system.
