艾灸健康人不同穴位后肺功能变化的对照研究

目的 :探讨艾灸健康人不同穴位对肺功能的影响。方法 :选健康男性学员 12 0名 ,年龄2 0～ 2 2岁之间 ,应用美制 2 12 0肺功能仪 ,于艾灸治疗前、后 ,分别测试FVC(用力肺活量 ) ,FEV1( 1sec用力呼气量 ) ,FEV1 .0 % ( 1sec用力肺活量与肺活量之比 ) ,MMF(最大呼气中段流量 ) ,PEFR(最大呼气流速 ) , V75, V50 和 V2 5( 75 %、5 0 %、2 5 %肺活量时的最大呼气流速 )。结果 :艾灸肺俞穴后FVC明显增高 (P <0 .0 5 ) ,其余各项指标的改变无统计学意义 (P >0 .0 5 ) ;艾灸百会穴及神阙穴后 ,肺功能各项指标无明显变化 (P >0 .0 5 )。结论 :艾灸背部肺俞穴后 ,可提高健康人的FVC ,而艾灸百会穴及神阙穴则无此作用 ,这对揭示肺俞穴治疗呼吸系统疾病的机理具有重要意义。

Changes of Pulmonary Function in Healthy People after Moxibustion of Feishu, Baihui and Shenque Acupoints

Objecive: To study the effects of moxibustion on pulm onar y function in healthy people. Methods:One hundred and twenty case s of healthy male students ranging in ag e from 20 to 22 years were enrolled in this study and evenly randomized into Feishu(BL 13), Baihui(GV 20) and Shenque(CV 8) groups. Mild moxibustion was app lied to these acupoints, 5～10 min for each of them, once daily and 5 times alto gether. Changes of forceful vital capacity (FVC), forceful expiratory volume of 1 second (FEV 1), FEV 1 0 %, maximal mid-expiratory flow volume (MMF), pe ak expiratory flo w rate(PEFR), maximal expiratory flow rate at 75%,50% and 25% vital capacity ( 75 , 50 and 25 ) before and after moxibustion treatment were detected by using 2 120 Pulmonary Function Detector. Results: After moxibustion of Feishu(BL 13), FVC raised significantly ( P <0.05), a nd the rest indexes had not any significant changes ( P >0.05). The values of FVC, FEV 1, MMF, FEV 1.0 %, PEFR, 75 , 50 and 25 had not any significa nt changes after moxibustion of both Baihui(GV 20) and Shenque(CV 8) ( P >0.05). Conc lusion: Moxibustion of Feishu(BL 13) can raise FVC in normal people, whil e moxibustion of Baihui(GV 20) and Shenque(CV 8) has no obvious effect on the pu lmonary function.
