초록

본 연구의 목적은 개의 경혈에 관한 조직학적 소견을 관찰하는 것이다. 개(4마리)에서 내관(PC06), 간유(BL18), 신유(BL23) 및 방광유(BL28)에 1 cm 깊이로 자침을 실시하고, 경혈주위의 조직을 관찰하였다. 각 경혈의 주위조직을 현미경학적으로 관찰하였다. 신경섬유, 소혈관, 및 근방추체들은 인근 지점에서의 비경혈, 또는 피부, 피하조직 및 근육과 같은 부위에서의 비경혈에서도 가끔 발견 되지만, 모든 예의 침의 선단 주위에서 신경섬유, 소혈관, 및 근방추체가 발견되었다. 따라서, 신경섬유, 소혈관 및 근 방추체는 잠재성 경혈 수용체일수도 있다는 가능성이 제시된다.

The purpose of this study was to document the histology of canine acupoints. Acupunctural needles were inserted by 0.5 to 1 cm depth into acupoints Nei-guan (Inner pass, PC06), Gan-shu (Liver Association Point, BL18), Shen-shu (Kidney Association Point, BL23) and Pangguang-shu (Bladder Association Point, BL28) in 4 dogs, and the tissues around the acupoints were examined. Light microscopy was used to observe the surrounding structures of each point. Nerve fibres, small vessels and muscle spindles were found around the tip of the needle in every case, although they occurred not so often at nonacupoint in nearby region or nonacupoint in the areas, such as skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Therefore, it is suggested that nerve fibres, small vessels and muscle spindles may be potential acupoint receptors.
