Through arrangement and analysis of domestic and overseas literature about effect of acupoint, it is found that acupoint is an amplifier of acupuncture effect, which could present feature of weak-stimulation and strong-response for acupuncture stimulation. It is also thought that factors of the amplification effect are complicated, it is closely related to the local specificity of acupoint (including more nerves, more blood vessels, more mast cells, more Ca2+ and more energy metabolism) and circulation route of meridians, indicating the amplification effect works through local feeling (local specificity of acupoint) into the distal end (circulation and distribution route of meridian system.
通过对国内外有关穴位效应的文献进行整理分析，发现穴位是针刺效应的放大器，对针刺刺激可呈现弱刺激、强反应的特点。同时认为，其放大效应的因素较为复杂，与穴位的局部特异性（包括更多的神经、更多的血管、更多的肥大细胞、更多的钙离子和更高的能量代谢）以及经络循行路线密切相关，提示放大效应是通过局部感应（穴位的局部特异性）作用于远端（经络系统的循行分布路线）。
