In clinical practice, Neiguan (PC 6) is usually selected as one of the main acupoints to treat gastrointestinal reactions induced by ① nausea and vomiting, ② hiccup, ③ gastrointestinal dyskinesia, ④ gastritis, and ⑤ intra-gastric examination, cesarean section, etc. Concerning experimental studies, the effects of Neiguan (PC 6), etc. on ① gastric electrical activities, ② gastrointestinal motion, ③ gastrointestinal hormone secretion, and ④ gastric mucosal structure were observed. Results indicated that Neiguan (PC 6) is an important and effective acupoint for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders in clinic. Stimulation of Neiguan (PC 6) induced favorable regulation of both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system, and changes of the gastrointestinal hormone secretion may contribute to its effects in treating various disorders.展开更多

In the present article, the authors review development of clinical studies on acu-moxibustion treatment of asthma in recent 5 years from ① changes of pulmonary function as forced expiratory volume in 1 second （FEV1）, forced vital capacity （FVC）, FEV1%, peak expiratory flow （PEF）, maximum mid expiratory flow （MMEF）, etc., ② changes of immune function as serum IgE, IgG, subgroups of T lymphocytes, inflammatory mediators, cytokines, etc, and ③ changes of the nervous system and related receptors including nitric oxide （NO）, vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP）, substance P （SP）, and cAMP/cGMP. Additionally, the authors also introduce the development of experimental researches from the effects of acu-moxibustion on ① inflammatory cells, ② nervous system and receptors, ③ patho-morphological changes of the lung tissue, and ④serology of acupuncture.展开更多
