METHODS： Rats were injected intraperitoneally with CCh （1 mL/kg） and treated with manual acupuncture using reinforcing manipulation techniques at left GB34 （Yanglingquan） 3 times a week for 10 wk. A nonacupoint in left gluteal area was selected as a sham point. To estimate the hepatoprotective effect of manual acupuncture at GB34, measurement of liver index, biochemical assays including serum ALT, AST, ALP and total cholesterol, histological analysis and blood cell counts were conducted. RESULTS： Manual acupuncture at GB34 reduced the liver index, serum ALT, AST, ALP and total cholesterol levels as compared with the control group and the sham acupuncture group. It also increased and normalized the populations of WBC and lymphocytes. CONCLUSION： Manual acupuncture with reinforcing manipulation techniques at left GB34 reduces liver toxicity, protects liver function and liver tissue, and normalizes immune activity in CCh-intoxicated rats.展开更多

In clinic, it is commonly used for treating hemiplegia, paralysis,pain and numbness in the lower limbs, swelling and pain in the knee, and hypochondriac pain. Through clinical practice, the author has found that this point has satisfactory therapeutic effects for treating shoulder arthritis, involuntary shaking of the head due to attack of the pathogenic wind in the craniofacial region, acute lumbar pain, and hysteric paralysis and others.
