阳虚证的内脏—耳穴反应

Viscera-Auriculopoint Response in Yang-Deficiency Syndrome

以前的实验曾证明,肾上腺在内脏-耳穴反应中起一定作用。为了进一步探讨耳穴反应中的体液因素。

In this study,two experimental models of Yang-deficiency syndrome produced with injection of hy-drocortisone and reserpine respectively in rats wereemployed to determine whether the manifestations ofthe viscera-auricular point response is identical inYang-deficiency syndroms caused by different rea-sons.The results indicated that auricular point res-ponse induced by stimulating electrically heart may bereduced and delayed in condition of Yang-deficiencycaused by two reasons.Further more,clinical studywas made to ditermine the relationship between Yang-deficiency syndrome and resistance of the auricularpoints.The results showed that the mean value of re-sistance of auricular point is obviously lower in non-Yang-deficiency patients than in Yang-deficiency pa-tients,and it is medium in slight-Yang-deficiencygroup.It is demonstrate that the auricular point res-ponse of Yang-deficiency patients is weaker.Theauricular point response may be used as an objectiveindex for diagnosis of Yang-deficiency syndrome.
