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(WSBTM) will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electric potentials of 16 patients with Lumbago due to the kidney deficiency(腎虛腰痛, LKD), to find out the characteristic of meridian system in patients with LKD. Methods : Electric potentials of welt and sea points in the meridians in twenty one patients with the pain in the lion diagnosed as LKD were repeatedly measured by physiograph(PowerLab). Measurements of those electrical potentials were analyzed by factor analysis. Results : The electric potentials of WSBTM at the left side were divided into five factors. On the other hand those at the right side Were divided into t1vee factors. Conclusions : In conclusion, their electrical potentials at the left and right side were four different factors search side. Thus electrical potentials of welt and sea points might be the representative meridian to show their characteristics.

Methods:Electric potentials of well and sea points in the meridians in 17 patients with LWLE diagnosed by both CT or MRI and self view on pain at loin and lower extremities were repeatedly measured by physiograph(PowerLab). Measurements of those electrical potentials were analyzed by factor analysis. Results The electric potentials of WSBTM at the left side were divided into four factors. On the other hand those at the right side wert divided into three factors.

Objectives : Assuming that the characteristic of meridian system has been similar to that of electrical potentials in human body and that measurements of electrical potential at well(井穴) and sea (合穴) points in branches of the twelve meridians(WSBTM) will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electrical potentials of 13 patients with stiffness of nape(項强症, SN), to find out the characteristic of meridian system in patients with SN. Methods : Electrical potentials of well and sea points in the meridians in 13 patients with stiffness at neck diagnosed as SN were repeatedly measured by physiograph(PowerLab). Measurements of those electrical potentials were analyzed by factor analysis. Results and Conclusions : The electrical potentials of WSBTM at the left side were divided into five factors. On the other hand those at the right side were divided into five factors. In conclusion, electrical potentials of well and sea points might be the representative meridian to show their characteristics.
