针刺引起结缔组织效应的研究进展

Development of Researches on the Connective Tissues and Acupuncture

近年来 ,国际上各学科的研究者从不同途径提出了多种针刺疗法机制的假说。本文结合了当前以细胞生物学和生理学为基础的相关资料 ,主要对近年研究针刺引起结缔组织效应的有关文献作以回顾 ,内容涉及了针刺得气现象与结缔组织的密切关系以及针刺引起结缔组织细胞间及细胞与基质间信号传导的研究 ,以说明结缔组织和针刺及其疗效所具有的相关性。

Currently, many hypothesizes about the mechanism of acupuncture therapy have been proposed by international scholars with different backgrounds. The present paper based on the knowledge of cytobiology and physiology mainly focuses on the relationship between acupuncture induced Deqi (achieving needling sensations) phenomenon and connective tissues. Also, it reviews the researches about the signaling transduction between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) in the connective tissue. By doing so, we attempt to explain the relevance of the connective tissue to acupuncture and its effectiveness.
