Acupuncture Affects Regional Blood Flow in Various Organs
In this review, our recent studies using anesthetized animals concerning the neural mechanisms of vasodilative effect of acupuncture-like stimulation in various organs are briefly summarized. Responses of cortical cerebral blood flow and uterine blood flow are characterized as non-segmental and segmental reflexes. Among acupuncture-like stimuli delivered to five different segmental areas of the...
متن کاملAcupuncture on the Blood Flow of Various Organs Measured Simultaneously by Colored Microspheres in Rats
We examined how acupuncture affected the blood flow of muscle, kidney, stomach, small intestine, brain, lung, heart, spleen and liver. Wistar rats anesthetized with urethane (n = 27) were allocated into the control (n = 10), ST-7 (Hsia-Kuan, n = 10) and LI-4 (Hoku, n = 7) groups. To measure organ blood flow, colored microspheres (CMS) were injected through a catheter positioned in the left vent...
متن کاملRegional Cortical Blood Flow
We conducted regional cortical blood flow studies using the xenon-133 clearance technique on 12 volunteers during the administration of 25% and 50% N2O and during baseline conditions (breathing room air or 100% O2). Global cortical blood flow was very highly significantly increased above baseline measures in all subjects by 50% N2O (mean increase 37% above 100% O2 condition). A smaller but stil...
متن کاملRegional Myocardial Blood Flow
Do oxygen-derived free radicals, generated at the time of reperfusion, lethally injure viable, previously ischemic myocardium, damage vascular endothelium, and impair recovery of postischemic contractile function? To address these issues, 23 anesthetized open-chest dogs underwent 2 hours of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by 4 hours of reperfusion. Immediately prior ...
متن کاملRegional Myocardial Blood Flow
nary artery disease has provided an intense stimulus for expansion of our present knowledge of the coronary circulation. In the experimental animal laboratory, the electromagnetic flowmeter has proved to be an excellent tool by which one can study dynamic aspects of the coronary circulation. A flowmeter is clearly unsuitable for human investigation; therefore, the search for a simple method of ...
