Observation on the receiving sensibilities of the points on the hand's six channels for vibromusic sound wave / 中国针灸

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the receiving sensibility of the points on the hand's six channels for music sound wave in the healthy persons, so as to provide experimental basis for exploring the mechanism of music treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>By the radiating and receiving sound wave system, the total receiving music sound (RMS) power of the music sound wave were measured at the points of the hand's six channels and non-acupuncture in 34 healthy undergraduates.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was the specific receiving sensibility at Taiyuan (LU 9). The total RMS power of the music sound wave at Daling (PC 7) and Shaohai (HT 3) in the female was stronger than that in the male.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There is the difference in the receiving sensibility of the music sound wave at the different acupoints of different channels.</p>

Advances of studies on the biophysical characteristics of channels and acupoints / 中国针灸

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To summarize recent studies on the biophysical characteristics of meridians and acupoints, so as to provide a basis and thinking for scientific studies.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-nine papers about biophysical characteristics of meridians and acupoints were reviewed from studies of electricity, heat, sound, light, magnetic and radionuclide.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The biophysical characteristics of meridians and acupoints have been proved in different domains, and meridians and acupoints objectively exist.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Scientific studies on the biophysical characteristics of meridians and acupoints have vast vistas.</p>

Experimental study on conduction of Gong tonality vibromusic sound wave in the healthy human body / 中国针灸

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the conduction of Gong tonality vibromusic sound wave along meridians in healthy human body, and investigate differences of the sensitivity of different meridians and genders to this vibromusic message.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Emit the Gong tonality music signal under the water and then investigate the responses of different acupoints and control points at the tissue of the same level to the vibromusic sound wave.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were differences of sensitivity to music waves at source acupoints on the foot, sensitivity of Zusanli (ST 36) was significantly higher than its control point (P < 0.05), and there was difference between genders in the sensitivity of Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Yinlingquan (SP 9) to music sound wave.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Gong tonality vibromusic sound wave can conduct along meridians in healthy human body, and there are differences between different meridians and different genders in the sensitivity to the music sound wave.</p>
