Observation was made on the effect of different acupuncture manipulation on plasma estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), E2/T and cortisol (C) in 78 patients with kidney deficiency. The results showed that the level of E2 and T in women was lowered by both reinforcing manipulation (RFM) and reducing manipulation (RDM). E2/T index was lowered by RDM but not by RFM, and there was significance (P < 0.05) between the RDM group and RDM group in E2/T, but no significance between the man's groups. The level of C was decreased by RDM but not by RFM. The results suggest that the different manipulation effects are different on the level of sex hormones in women and the C content in patients with kidney deficiency.
观察了不同针刺手法对78例肾虚患者血浆雌二醇（E2）、睾酮（T）、E2/T及皮质醇（C）的影响。结果显示，补法和泻法均可降低女性患者的E2和T水平。泻法可降低E2/T指数，而补法无此作用，且泻法组与补法组之间E2/T有显著性差异（P<0.05），男性组间无显著性差异。泻法可降低C水平，补法无此作用。结果提示，不同针刺手法对肾虚患者女性性激素水平及C含量的影响不同。
