Abstract

Objective To discuss the cumulative effect of acupuncture on left ST40 to hemodynamic of PCA.Methods Sixteen healthy young people were randomly chosen to be acupunctured on left ST40 and parameters of TCD such as Vs,Vd,Vm,PI and RI were managed to be recorded sequentially at the 5 points below to make out an statistical analysis:10 min before acupuncture; the time of inserting the needles; 15 min after retaining the needles; the time when taking the needles out; 10 min after the acupunture.Results The parameters of TCD Vs,Vd,Vm 10min after withdrawing the needle [Were ( 84.56± 19.72) cm/s、( 39.75 ±10.15 ) cm/s、(56.13 ± 14.73 ) cm/s each] all showed a decline compared with the parameters 10min before acupuncture(P<0.05),while other parameters turned out to be almost the same (P>0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture on left ST40 has cumulative effect on Vs,Vd and Vm,which suggest us the needle retention time should be noted. Key words: ST40; PCA; TCD
