Acupuncture effect principle on meridians is what physical stimulation does on general physiology so that it gets into new equilibrium from the fallen function state of human body. However, it is generally accepted that western medicine has regarded the action passageway of various kinds stimulation as nerve fluids tissue or nerve-endocrine-immune system. These regard any action for all meridians as a response to the stimulation. These are not treatments for transmission of the energy. This paper compares the change of electric potential when operator's bio-energy is passed on and when is not. As a result of it, the effect of acupuncture is different when a operator's bio-energy is passed on to meridians and it isn't. Therefore, it means that the general acupuncture is more effective than the insulation one. Moreover, we could certify that there is close relation between an operator's energy transmission and acupuncture effect.

I studied connection between meridians and Dianxian(癲癎, Epilepsy). Dianxian is caused by Feun(風) based on the Blood-Deficiency(血虛) which is induced by Heart-deficiency(心虛). Therefore, when Heart and blood are in deficient condition(心血虛), Heart meridian(心經) and Pericardium meridian(心包經) can be easily affected by Feng(風), which is main cause of Dianxian. Furthermore, Liver heat(肝熱) is another main cause of Dianxian. It shows along Liver meridian(肝經) and affects Pericardium Meridian(心包經). Heart, Pericardium and Liver are main organs of human psychoconscious activities, and also are main pathological organs of Dianxian. Dianxian progresses in several ways and simtoms of Dianxian are variant according to the deficiency-exess state(虛實) of Stomach and Spleen meridians(脾胃經). So, I concluded that controling Heart, Pericardium, Liver, Stomach and Spleen meridians can make therapeutical effects on Dianxian. So I report it for the better treatment, and it shoud need further study.

The Meridians are the pathways of the qi and blood, and can be used as the media of the diagnosis and treatments. There has been numerous studies about the meridians, but as the kinesiology develops recently and the attention for the meridian muscles is growing, the meridian muscles are now recognised as the complementary entity of the meridians. In this document, we considered the meridian muscles and the meridia, following the traditional thoughts of the oriental medicine, as the images of the mountains and the rivers.

Objectives & Methods : This study was to study acupuncture and moxibustion treatments for dizziness, I've got compared and analyzed 41 kinds of books since Nei Jing(內經). It seems that the meridians of Bladder, Gall bladder and Governing vessel were mostly used for them in connection with functions of each meridians. Results and Conclusion : 1. The symptoms of dizziness are illusion, nausea, vertigo, tinnitus and mild headache 2. The meridians of acupuncture points which was used much for dizziness were Bladder meridian, Gall bladder meridian and Governing Vessel 3. The frequency of using acupuncture points in this treatment were P'ung Ji(GB20)-27th, Chok-Samni(S36)-17th, Paek'oe(GV20)-15th, Pungnyung(S40)-9th, Shinmack (B62)-9th.

Objectives: This study used semiology based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to investigate vital energy (Qi) behavior in women with abdominal myofascial pain syndrome (AMPS). Methods: Fifty women diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) secondary to AMPS were evaluated by using a questionnaire based on the theories of "yin-yang," "zang-fu", and "five elements". We assessed the following aspects of the illness: symptomatology; specific location of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs); onset, cause, duration and frequency of symptoms; and patient and family history. The patients tongues, lips, skin colors, and tones of speech were examined. Patients were questioned on various aspects related to breathing, sweating, sleep quality, emotions, and preferences related to color, food, flavors, and weather or seasons. Thirst, gastrointestinal dysfunction, excreta (feces and urine), menstrual cycle, the five senses, and characteristic pain symptoms related to headache, musculoskeletal pain, abdomen, and chest were also investigated. Results: Patients were between 22 and 56 years old, and most were married (78%), possessed a elementary school (66%), and had one or two children (76%). The mean body mass index and body fat were 26.86 kg/cm2 (range: 17.7 - 39.0) and 32.4% (range: 10.7 - 45.7), respectively. A large majority of women (96%) exhibited alterations in the kidney meridian, and 98% had an altered gallbladder meridian. We observed major changes in the kidney and the gallbladder Qi meridians in 76% and 62% of patients, respectively. Five of the twelve meridians analyzed exhibited Qi patterns similar to pelvic innervation Qi and meridians, indicating that the paths of some of these meridians were directly related to innervation of the pelvic floor and abdominal region. Conclusion: The women in this study showed changes in the behavior of the energy meridians, and the paths of some of the meridians were directly related to innervation of the pelvic floor and abdominal region.

Objectives : Assuming that the characteristic of meridian system has been similar to this of electric potentials in human body and that measurements of electric potential at well(井穴) and sea(合穴) points in branches of the twelve meridians will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electric potentials in three patient groups with arrhythmia(AP group), with arrhythmia and cerebral infarction(CI group), and with arrhythmia and hemorrhage(CH group), and then to find out the characteristic of meridian system among 3 groups. Methods : Thirty arrhythmic patients diagnosed by EKG, CT, and deficiency of the heart blood(心血虛症) were divided into 3 groups(AP, CI, CH group). Their electric potential of well and sea points in the meridians were measured 3 times by physiograph. Results : Measurements were analyzed by statistical factor analysis, we obtained that the left side electric potential of well and sea points in branches of the twelves meridians in AP group was divided into two factors, which were the hand meridian without the lung meridian, the foot meridian and the lung meridian, but the right side electric potential was divided into the hand and the foot meridian. In CH group both the left and the right side electric potential was divided into three factors. In CI group the left side electric potential was divided into three factors, but the right side electric potential was divided into two factors. Conclusions : In conclusion, their electrical potentials were different each other among 3 groups. Thus electrical potentials of well and sea points might be the representative meridian to show their characteristics.

경락에서의 침구효과 원리는 침 자극이 인체의 저하된 기능상태로부터 각성상태, 응급상태, 국부적 쇼크 상태로 만들어줌으로써 인체의 전반적 생리기능이 새로운 평형을 이룰 수 있도록 하는데 있다. 그러나, 서양의학에서는 침구치료효과를 시술자의 생체에너지(기) 전달에 의한 효과보다는 단순한 침자극에 의한 신경-내분비-면역 계통의 작용과 반응으로 간주하고있다. 따라서 침구치료의 효과가 침 자극에 의한 경락의 작용임을 확인하고, 시술방법에 따른 전위 변화를 분석하기 위해서 경혈과 비경혈, 절연자침과 비절연자침, 보법과 사법으로 자극했을 때의 전위변화를 측정한 결과, 각각 다른 반응이 나타났다. 이는 동일 경락에서 침구의 작용효과는 단순한 침 자극에 의한 효과뿐만 아니라, 시술자의 생체에너지 전달에 의해 복합적으로 반응할 수 있음을 의미한다. 임상실험을 분석한 결과, 시술방법에 따른 경락에서의 전위 변화는 해당 경락의 허실과 해당장기의 건강상태에 따라 다르게 나타나고 있어서, 경락의 허실상태를 진단할 수 있는 진단 파라메터로서의 유의성을 확인하였다.
