督脉循行线下深部组织氧分压的实验观察

目的 :探讨循经红外辐射轨迹的形成机理。方法 :利用改进型的氧传感针 ,对 2 8名志愿者沿督脉线及其两侧旁开约 2 .5cm的非经对照点共五个水平组织中的氧分压进行了检测 ;并在自然状态下对志愿者背部进行了红外摄像观察。结果 :沿督脉红外辐射轨迹的部位 ,其深部组织的氧分压也较其两侧的非经对照点高 (P <0 .0 5)。结论 :督脉循行线下深部组织中的能量代谢旺盛 ,可能是产生沿该经脉的红外辐射轨迹的一个重要原因。提示经脉可能是与物质、能量和信息的转换和传递相关的某种通道。

Observation on the Oxygen Partial Pressure in Deep Tissues along Du Meridian

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the formation of infrared radiant track along meridian course(IRRTM). Methods:The oxygen partial pressure in 5 acupoints Yaoyangguan (GV 3), Mingmen (GV 4), Zhongshu (GV 7), point below T 8 process and Shenzhu (GV 12)along Du Meridian and the bilateral control points 2.5 cm to Du Meridian (5 levels) were taken to be observed in twenty eight volunteer subjects. At the same time, the image of infrared radiant track over the back of these subjects was recorded. Results:Besides the higher temperature infrared radiant track of Du Meridian, the oxygen partial pressure (PO 2) values in the deep tissues along Du Meridian are 8.13±0.61 kPa, 7.63±0.55 kPa, 8.07±0.57 kPa, 6.90±0.41 kPa and 7.95±0.68 kPa, being significantly higher than those of the left and the right control points (6.30±0.53 kPa and 5.46±0.43 kPa, 5.25± 0.45 kPa and 5.93±0.46 kPa, 6.35±0.51 kPa and 6.18±0.50 kPa, 5.48±0.46 kPa and 4.80± 0.49 kPa, and 5.85±0.57 kPa and 5.63±0.51 kPa respectively, P <0.05～0.001). The results suggest that higher PO 2 along higher temperature infrared radiant track of meridian means higher oxygen metabolism rate, which may be an important factor for the formation of IRRTM, and maybe contribute to the transformation and transmission of signals of meridians and to the regulation of functional activity of the human body.Conclusion:PO 2 is obviously higher along the higher temperature infrared radiant track of meridian.
