摘要
艾灸具有“温阳通络,扶正强壮”的功效,是一种兼有多种治疗和保健作用的医疗方法,自古以来就广泛流传于民间,并在历代医书上都有记载。随着人类对疾病认识的不断深入,艾灸在临床上的应用也越来越广泛,涉及内、外、妇、儿、皮肤和五官等多个学科,疗效逐步提高。近年来,有人试验用艾灸治疗甲亢和糖尿病患者。
The effects of moxibustion at 'Zusanli' acupoint on serum endocrine hormo-nes of male Wistar rats were studied by measured serum values of TSH, T_3,T_4, FSH, LH, testosterone and insulin with radioimmunoassay, 40 male ratswere randomly divided into two groups, experiment group and control group, 20rats each group. In the experiment group, the animals were given a moxibustionat 'Zusanli' acupoints of both sides of rats 8:00--9:00 am, 10min/side per dayfor 7 days. The control group was given notaing. All of both groups werekilled and got serum at same time. The results indicate that the moxibustioncan increase significantly serum value of insulin (p<0.01) and decrease promine-ntly serum value of T_4 (p<0.01), but no marked difference was found in FSH,LH, testosterone, TSH and T_3. It is suggest that the raise of insulin may haverelations with the effects of the moxibustion on neuro-endocrine system andimproving microcirculation of pancreas gland, and that the drop of T_4 may becaused by the moxibustion to inhibite the function of thyroid glane.
