Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the relationship between acupuncture and cardiopulmonary function in healthy people.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

Healthy male volunteers were divided into 3 groups, 16 of persons each Group 1 was treated with acupuncture at points Neiguan (PC6) and Zusanli (ST36): Group 2 was treated with acupuncture at non-acupoints, and Group 3 was taken as control. The effects of resting cardiopulmonary functions were measured with gas analysis system. The resting heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption (VO2), and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) were recorded over a thirty-minute period at intervals of five minutes, 15 minutes, and 25 minutes. Electroacupuncture was given to Groups 1 and 2. The analysis of variance and t test were used in data analysis.

RESULTS

In the acupuncture groups, resting heart rate and carbon dioxide production decreased (P < 0.05) and oxygen consumption also decreased slightly, although it was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Our results indicate that acupuncture can decrease the resting heart rate and carbon dioxide production, thus lowering the metabolic rate.

目的

评估针刺与健康人心肺功能之间的关系。

对象与方法

将健康男性志愿者分为3组，每组16人。第1组在内关穴（PC6）和足三里穴（ST36）进行针刺治疗；第2组在非穴位处进行针刺治疗；第3组作为对照组。使用气体分析系统测量静息心肺功能的影响。在30分钟内，每隔5分钟、15分钟和25分钟记录静息心率（HR）、耗氧量（VO2）和二氧化碳生成量（VCO2）。对第1组和第2组进行电针治疗。数据分析采用方差分析和t检验。
