Abstract

Objectives : Demonstrating a novel circulatory path from the acupoint(CV12) to the pancreas. Method : Alcian blue(1% solution, $20{\mu}l$, pH 7.4) was injected into the acupoint(CV12). Two hours later the surfaces of internal organs were observed by using a stereomicroscope. Results : Alcian blue arrived and colored the omental fat band(OFB) on the pancreas. The OFB connected the head and tail of the pancreas, the pancreas and the spleen, and the pancreas and the stomach. Conclusion : The existence of a novel circulatory path from the acupoint CV12 to the pancreas and its OFB was demonstrated.

목적 : 피부의 경혈(CV12)로부터 췌장으로 액체가 흘러가는 경로가 있음을 보임. 방법 : 생쥐의 중완혈에 푸른색 염료(Alcian blue) 1% 용액을 주입하고, 2시간이 경과한 후 개복하여 내장장기의 표면들을 실체 현미경으로 관찰한다. 결과 : 췌장 위에 있으며, 췌장의 머리부분과 꼬리부분, 췌장과 위장, 췌장과 비장을 연결해주는 망막상의 지방줄(omental fat band)에 Alcian blue가 도달, 착색되었다. 결론 : 중완혈로부터 췌장을 경과하여 망막상의 지방줄에 이르는 액체 순환경로가 있다.
