To probe the mechanism of acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) for treatment of infant anorexia.
Healthy rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and an acupuncture group. The model rats were made by intramuscular injection of Reserpine. The acupuncture group were treated with pricking at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) once daily for 2 weeks. After that, the gastric emptying rate and contents of Zn in the red cell and serum were observed in all the groups.
Compared with the model group, the gastric emptying rate was accelarated, and the serum Zn content was increased in the acupuncture group (P<0.01, P<0.05).
Acupuncture at Sifeng (EX-UE 10) has significant therapeutic effect on the rat with spleen deficiency, accelerating the gastric emptying rate and increasing the serum Zn content.
探讨针刺四缝（EX-UE 10）治疗小儿厌食症的机制。
将健康大鼠随机分为对照组、模型组和针刺组。模型大鼠采用肌肉注射利血平造模。针刺组每日针刺四缝（EX-UE 10）1次，连续2周。之后，观察各组大鼠的胃排空率及红细胞和血清中锌的含量。
与模型组相比，针刺组胃排空率加快，血清锌含量升高（P<0.01，P<0.05）。
针刺四缝（EX-UE 10）对脾虚大鼠有显著治疗作用，可加快胃排空率，增加血清锌含量。
