隔物灸温热刺激的作用途径与机理分析

Investigation of pathway and mechanism of heat stimulating action of sandwiched moxibustion

在文献综述的基础上,结合生物物理学知识,分析了隔物灸温热刺激的作用途径与机理。隔物灸主要通过热传导和热辐射完成从间隔药物到穴位皮肤的传热过程,而穴位皮肤到深部组织和其他部位的热传递则主要通过生物传热效应完成。结合生物传热有关理论对隔物灸穴位后的生物传热过程进行研究对揭示隔物灸临床机理十分有益。除温热效应外,艾灸与穴位红外共振辐射可能是其发挥疗效的基础,值得进一步深入研究。

Based on the literature review and theories of biophysical theory, the pathway and mechanism of the heat of sandwiched moxibustion stimulating acupoints are analyzed. It is concluded that the heat of sandwiched moxibustion is transferred to the skin of acupoints by heat conduction and thermal radiation, The heat conduct from the skin to deep tissues and other parts was carried out through the biological heat conduction systems. The investigation combined with theories of biological heat conduction was benefit to the research on clinical mechanisms of indirect moxibustion. In addition to heat effect, the infrared resonance of indirect moxibustion and acupoints may be the base of clinical effects of indirect moxibustion.
