  • 목 적 : 본 연구의 목적은 양릉천 침 처치 시 C57BL/6 생쥐의 중뇌 흑질에 위치한 도파민성 신경세포 사멸 억제 효과를 조직화학 염색법을 이용하여 Tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)와 laminin의 발현으로 관찰하고자 한다. 실험방법 : 실험에 이용한 동물은 C57BL/6 생쥐로, 매일 25mg/kg의 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)를 5일간 주사하였고, 매일 MPTP 주사한 뒤 2시간 후에 양릉천에 침치료를 시행하였으며 MPTP 주사를 종료한 뒤 침치료는 7일동안 계속 시행하였다. 마지막 MPTP 주사 7일 후에 동물을 희생하여 뇌를 적출하고 고정하였다. 침효과를 확인하기 위해 Thyrosine hydroxylase(TH), laminin의 발현 변화 정도를 조직염색화학법으로 이용하여 확인하였다. 각 그룹간의 유의성 검증은 one-way ANOVA를 이용하였다. 결 과 : 도파민성 신경세포 선택적인 신경독소인 MPTP에 대한 양릉천 침처치에 의한 신경보호 효과를 도파민신경세포의 표지자인 TH 발현을 면역화학조직염색법으로 관찰하였다. 대조군에 비해 MPTP 처치 군의 신경세포 사멸이 유의적으로 감소하였고(P <0.05), MPTP + 침처치 군에서 증가되는 양상을 확인하였다 (P <0.05). 또한 도파민성 신경세포내에 존재하는 laminin의 발현정도 역시 대조군보다 MPTP 처치 군에서 유의적으로 감소하였고, MPTP + 침처치 군에서 증가되는 양상을 확인하였다 (P <0.05). 결 론 : MPTP에 의한 도파민성 신경세포 손상에 대한 양릉천 침처치의 신경보호 효과는 세포외 기질중의 하나인 laminin의 발현 정도를 조절하여 비롯되는 것으로 사료된다.

  • 목적 : 전통적으로 태충($LR_3$)과 양릉천($GB_{34}$)은 운동기능과 관련된 질환에 사용되어 왔다. 우리는 두뇌에 신경독을 주입하여 파킨슨병 쥐모델을 제작하였고, 쥐는 운동기능이 손상되고 도파민성 신경세포가 선택적으로 소멸하였다. 병증 모델 쥐에게 태충과 양릉천에 자침한 결과 운동기능이 개선되고 신경세포보호효과가 나타남을 관찰한 바 있다. 이에 실제로 태충과 양릉천에 자침하여 운동기능과 관련된 추체외로 영역에서 신경의 활성화가 나타나는지를 fMRI를 통하여 관찰하였다. 방법 : 자침은 수기침을 선택하였으며, 혈위는 (1) 태충, (2) 양릉천, (3) 태충+양릉천의 세군데를 설정하였고, 자침에 대한 대조자극으로 피부자극을 채택하였다. fMRI 스캐너는 3T를 사용하였고 뇌신경 활성화의 신호는 BOLD(blood-oxygen-level dependant)를 관찰하였다. 두뇌에서 관찰부위는 중뇌를 중심으로 추체외로로 한정하였다. 결과 : 태충에 자침하였을 때 두뇌의 substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, pons 등이 활성화 되었다. 양릉천에 자침하였을 때 substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus, caudate nucleus, thalamus가 활성화 되었다. 태충과 양릉천에 동시에 자침하였을 때는 substantia nigra, subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus, globus pallidus가 활성화되었다. 대조자극에 의해서는 위의 영역들이 활성화되지 않았다. 결론 : 태충, 양릉천, 태충+양릉천 자극은 대뇌에서 추체외로 영역을 활성화시키며 특히 substantia nigra의 활성화는 파킨슨병과 같은 질환의 조절가능성을 시사한다.

  • Objectives & Methods : The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture at GB34(Yangneungcheon) of hyperlipidemic rats. The author performed several items to analyze body-weight of the rats, weight of its liver, serum as well as urine changes in each group. Results : 1. Bupleuri Radix herbal-acupuncture(BR-HA) infused solution (MCR-HAS) increased both DPPH radical scavenging activity and HMG-CoA reductase inhibition rate in rat liver cells. 2. BR-HA at GB34 significantly decreased the level of serum total cholesterol and atherogenic index(AI), while significantly increased the ratios of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)/total cholesterol and phospholipid/total cholesterol in hyperlipidemic rats. 3. BR-HA at GB34 significantly decreased urine glucose in hyperlipidemic rats. Conclusions : From the results above, it is suggested that Bupleuri Radix herbal -acupuncture at GB34 has a therapeutic effect on hyperlipidemia.

  • 경혈과 경락학설은 침의 치료 효과를 설명하고 최선의 침 치료 전략을 세우기 위해 이용되어 왔다. 이번 연구를 통해 요통 환자를 대상으로 한 무작위 대조군 임상 연구에서 요통을 치료하기 위해 사용된 경혈의 빈도를 알아보았다. PUMBED 데이터베이스를 통해 요통 환자를 대상으로 manual acupuncture나 electro-acupuncture를 사용한 논문을 분석했다. 총 664편의 논문이 검색되었으며, 그 중 62편의 논문을 분석 결과에 따르면 신수, 위중, 대장수, 곤륜, 환도, 아시혈, 관원수, 양릉천, 기해수, 요양관이었으며, 태계혈이 함께 조합되어 사용되었다. 이를 통해 요통에 대한 침 치료 효과를 밝히기 위한 이전의 연구들에서 족태양방광경의 경혈들이 주로 사용된 것, 그리고 근위와 원위의 경혈이 사용된 것을 알 수 있다. 추후 연구를 통해 경혈과 치료 효과 간의 상관 관계를 밝히고 경혈을 선정하고 조합하는 원리에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하기 위해서는 치료 효과에 대한 정량적인 분석 방법과 이용한 경혈에 대한 자세한 보고가 필수적이다.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to observe the anti-oxidative effects of electroacupuncture at GB34(Yangreungcheon) in rats. Methods : The authors performed several experimental items including measurements of body weight, relative liver weight, levels of albumin, total bilirubin, LDL-cholesterol, LDH, GOT and GPT in blood serum, levels of SOD, glutathione, catalase, NO and MDA in liver, and histological analysis of liver. The conclusions are as follows. Results : 1. In the GB34-EA group, liver index was lower than those of the control group and the holder group. 2. In the GB34-EA group, the levels of albumin and total bilirubin in serum were increased significantly compared to those of the control and the holder group. LDL-cholesterol level was decreased significantly compared to those of the control group and the holder group. 3. In the GB34-EA group, liver SOD, glutathione, catalase activity were increased, and NO concentration in liver was decreased significantly compared to those of control and the holder group. 4. In the GB34-EA group, the density of liver tissue was more similarly maintained to that of the normal group compared to those of the control group, holder group and sham-EA group. Conclusions : These results suggest that electroacupuncture at GB34 may have an antioxidant effect in rat.
