“…According to TCM, K1 (Yongquan), DU26 (Renghong) and DU25 (Suliao) are effective acupoints in retrieving consciousness (15-17). Kidney channel plays an important role in consciousness, particularly K1 (Yongquan) as jing-well point of kidney meridian which can bubble up chi through the channel (20, 21). Therefore, in this study we employed K1 as a common acupoint in conjunction with two other acupoints, DU26 and DU25, separately.…”

BackgroundAcupuncture has been used for more than two thousand years as part of traditional Chinese medicine.ObjectivesThis randomized prospective clinical trial aimed to compare the effect of acupuncture on K1 (Yongquan) and DU26 (Renghong) with acupuncture on K1 (Yongquan) and DU25 (Suliao), with sham acupuncture on the recovery time of general anesthesia.MethodsThe patients (51) were randomly assigned to three groups: (A) acupuncture on K1 and DU26, (B) acupuncture on K1 and DU25, and (C) sham acupuncture. In each group, at the end of surgery acupuncture was performed accordingly for twenty minutes and the Bispectral Index (BIS) values at end of surgery, 5th minute, 10th minute, 15th minute and 20th minute as well as time of extubation and time of eye opening after the end of surgery were evaluated.ResultsBIS study at 5th minute, 10th minute and 15th minute after the end of surgery in the groups revealed a significant difference between sham acupuncture group and both A and B acupuncture groups, which was higher in groups A and B in comparison with sham acupuncture group. Time of opening eyes and time of extubation after the end of surgery between group A and sham acupuncture group differed significantly, which was earlier in group A. There was no significant difference between group B and sham acupuncture group in terms of eye opening and extubation time.ConclusionsAcupuncture on K1 and DU26 accelerates restoring of consciousness and shortens of eye opening and extubation after general anesthesia, but on K1 and DU25 only speeds up retrieving of consciousness without significant effect on time of eye opening or extubation after general anesthesia.

“…Alternatively, the stimulation can be applied by electro stimulation, moxibustion or laser. There are some other acupoints with proven effects in resuscitation and consciousness improvement such as PC-9 (Zhong Chong) (15, 21) which would be worth investigating in the recovery setting of anesthesia in future studies.…”

“…The finding showed that the level of mammary filling, breast milk production, and prolactin level was higher in the group given acupressure on SI1. Electroacupuncture on SI1 is not only able to improve prolactin level but also improves lactation after delivery (Tseng, 2015).…”

Breastfeeding has been normative prevailing standard for feeding and fulfilling nutrition for baby due to its important benefit for mothers and her infant. The most common problem in breastfeeding is lack supply of breast milk after giving birth. The aim of this research was to prove that combination of acupressure and affirmation relaxation method was able to increase breast milk and improve breastfeeding self-efficacy of primiparous mothers in the postpartum period. The study design was true experimental with pre-test and post-test design. There were 24 primiparous mothers who were divided into two groups. Weighing test was used to measure breast milk production and breastfeeding self-efficacy was measured using Indonesian version of Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale. Data were analyzed using Unpaired t-test and Mann Whitney test (α = 0.05). Based on the finding, we could conclude that combination of acupressure and affirmation relaxations could improve breast milk production (p = 0.033) and breastfeeding self-efficacy (p = 0.045) for primiparous mother in the postpartum period encountered in several Independent Midwifery Practice in Malang. This method might be used as a nonpharmacological treatment for postpartum mothers. Health practitioners should disseminate this technique so that postpartum mothers can do that by themselves.

“…In the present study, we adopted a cutting‐edge vascular perfusion microscopic dissection technique to preserve and demonstrate the original subcutaneous structures beneath APs in two fresh adult upper limb specimens. Thirty five‐Shu APs on the forearm were chosen as the target APs because they are better established and more widely used in clinical treatment than others (Cho & Kim, 2021; Tseng et al, 2015). They can be subdivided into Jing (“井”), Ying (“荥”), Shu (“输”), Jing (“经”), and He (“合”) acupoints.…”

Perforating cutaneous vessels: A key feature of acupoints – Anatomical evidence from five‐Shu acupoints in the upper limbs

et al. 2023

Acupuncture has been proven an effective clinical treatment for numerous pathological conditions and malfunctions. However, substantial anatomical evidence for acupuncture points (APs) and meridians is still lacking, so the location of APs is relatively subjective and understanding of the biological mechanisms of acupuncture is limited. All these problems hinder the clinical applications and worldwide acceptance of acupuncture. Our long‐term microsurgery experience has indicated that Perforating Cutaneous Vessels (PCVs) are highly relevant to APs but the anatomical evidence is insufficient. To address this lack, two specimens of fresh adult human upper limbs were dissected using an advanced vascular perfusion‐fixation method and then examined. The results show that all 30 five‐Shu APs in the upper limbs have corresponding PCVs. Both specimens showed a 100% coincidence rate between APs and PCVs, indicating that PCVs could be critical anatomical features of APs. This study also provides an anatomical basis for locating APs objectively via preliminary detection of PCVs. The findings could lead to a better theoretical understanding of mechanisms of acupuncture and the essence of meridians.
