Abstract

This study was performed to clarify the effect of oculo-acupuncture(OA) on change of gastric contraction. Twenty-four clinically healthy mongrel dogs were used and divided into two groups regarding feeding condition; non-acupoint group (n=6) and Stomach/spleen region group (n=6) were stimulated by OA. In addition, 12 dogs were fasted for 24 hrs and divided into two groups; non-acupoint group (n=6) and Stomach/speen region group (n=6) was stimulated by OA. The change in frequency of gastric contraction was measured via abdominal ultrasound before, 0, 30, 60 and 120 minutes after OA. Significant differences were detected at 30 mins (p<0.05), 60 mins (p<0.05) and 120 mins (p<0.01) in the Stomach/speen region group, compared with those of non-acupoint group in feeding condition.

본 연구는 개의 위 수축 횟수의 변화에 미치는 안침의 효과를 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 임상적으로 건강한 24두의 잡종견을 사료 급여군과 사료 비급여군으로 나누었으며, 각각의 군에서 안침군과 대조군으로 구분하여 각각 실시하였다. 위 수축운동 횟수는 초음파로 안침 전, 직후, 30분, 60분 및 120분째에 측정하였다. 실험군(위/비장 영역)에서의 위 수축운동 횟수가 대조군(임의영역)에 비해 감소소견을 나타내었으며, 특히 안침요법 후 30분(p<0.05), 60분(p<0.05) 및 120분(p<0.01)에 각각 유의성 있는 감소소견을 나타내었다. 사료를 미급여한 조건에서, 실험군(위/비장영역)에서의 위 수축운동 횟수가 대조군(임의영역)에 비해 안침 후 다소 감소하는 소견을 나타내었으나, 군간 유의성은 나타내지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 사료를 급여한 조건에서 위/비장 영역에 대한 안침이 개의 위 수축운동 횟수를 감소시켰다.
