针灸防治单纯性肥胖合并心血管病的研究

STUDY ON PROPHYLACTIC EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE ON SIMPLE OBESE COMPLICATED WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

我们以往工作证实,针灸对单纯性肥胖患者的内分泌功能有影响.肥胖患者最常见的合并症有高脂血症、高胆固醇血症、冠心病、高血压、中风等疾患.有关针灸防治单纯性肥胖患者合并心血管病的资料尚未见有人报导;因此。

In order to understand the prophylactic-therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on the simple obese patients complicated by cardiovascular diseases, we observed in the simple obese patients the change in the pathogenetic and hazardous factors of combined cardiovascular diseases and in the functions of the autonomic nerves which regulate cardiovascular activities. The results showed that the ratio between waistline and hipline and the lipid content decreased markedly, the extents of the decreases of the ratio and the lipid content in the patients were related to whether the therapeutic effects appeared or not. The results indicated that acupuncture and moxibustion might not only decrease the pathogenetic factors in the patients complicated by cardiovascular disease but also prevent the patients from suffering from arteriosclerosis. Besides, acupuncture and moxibustion can decrease Y value in the patients complicated by the hypertension and increase Y value in the patients not complicated by the hypertension and the extents of the decrease and the increase related to whether the curative effect appeared or not. The results showed that acupuncture and moxibustion had a diphasic regulatory effect on the autonomic nervous function of patients.
