Abstract

This study examined the efficacy of needle-acupuncture (AP) at Nei Guan (PC06) and Xin Shu (BL15) on canine tachycardia. A total of 18 beagle dogs were divided into three groups: a control (6 heads), PC06 (6 heads) and PC06 (6 heads) group. Tachycardia was induced by an intramuscular injection of glycopyrrolate. No treatment was given to the control group. Needle-AP at PC06 and BL15 were applied simultaneously at the same time as the glycopyrrolate injection for 20 minutes in PC06 and BL15 groups, respectively. The changes in R-R intervals and respiration rates were determined. The changes in the R-R intervals in the PC06 and BL15 groups were significantly higher than the control group. The R-R intervals of the BL15 group were significantly higher than in the PC06 group. The changes in the respiration rates in the PC06 group were similar to those of the control group. However, the respiration rates in the BL15 group were significantly lower than the control and PC06 groups. In conclusion, needle-AP at PC06 and BL15 is effective in assisting in the recovery from induced canine tachycardia. However, needle-AP at BL15 is more effective than that at PC06.

본 연구는 개 빈맥에 대한 내관 (PC06) 및 심수 (BLl5)자침의 효과를 입증하고자 실시하였다. 총 18두의 비글견을 대조군 (6두), PC06 군 (6두) 및 BL15 군 (6두)로 각각 나누었다. 빈맥은 glycopyrrolate를 근육주사하여 유발하였다. 대조군은 아무런 처치를 하지 않았으나, 실험군은 glycopyrrolate 투여와 동시에 각각 PC06 및 BL15에 20분간 유침하였으며, R-R 간격의 변화 및 호흡수의 변화를 측정하였다. PC06군과 BL15군에서의 R-R 간격은 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있는 증가를 나타내었으며, BL15군의 R-R 간격은 PC06군에 비하여 유의성 있는 증가를 나타내었다. PC06군의 호흡수는 대조군과 비슷한 경향을 나타냈으나 BL15군은 대조군 및 PC06군에 비하여 유의성 있는 감소를 나타내었다. 결과적으로, PC06 및 BL15의 자침은 개 빈맥의 회복에 도움이 되며, BL15가 PC06보다 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
