Objectives : The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of tonifying or sedative manipulation on LI4 and KI7 for sweet deficiency under cold environment.
Methods : The participants were divided into 4 groups; intact group without acupuncture(Intact), acupuncture group inserting straightly with LI4 & KI7 method((LI4-straight?KI7-straight), acupuncture group inserting?twisting with LI4 tonificaton & KI7 tonificaton method(LI4-tonify ?KI7-tonify) and acupuncture group inserting?twisting with LI4 sedation & KI7 sedation method(LI4-purge?KI7-purge). We obtained the baseline data under cold condition with the temperature 14±1℃. After making the participant staying under cold condition for 10 minute, we measured sweating rate on skin surface and biological responses such as body temperature, oxygen saturation, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, deoxy-Hb and oxy-Hb in subcutaneous.
Results : The sweating rate on skin surface was not different in all treatment groups compared to the intact group. The body temperature was significantly increased in LI4-straight?KI7-straight group compared to the intact group. The oxygen saturation significantly increased in LI4-purge?KI7-purge group compared to the intact group. The systolic blood pressure was significantly increased in LI4-purge?KI7-purge group compared to the intact group. The deoxy-Hb was significantly decreased in LI4-purge?KI7-purge group compared to the intact group.
Conclusions : The above results, the effect of LI4, KI7 acupuncture due to the tonifying or sedative manipulation on sweating control could be observed. However, other biological responses with the acupuncture of tonifying or sedative manipulation were giving different expressions. We suggest that continued research of tonifying or sedative manipulation is of importance order to find these expressions.
