Abstract
|
Acupoint specificity is an important basis for explaining acupoints functions and guiding clinical treatment. At present, acupoint specificity has attracted close attention, and become a new research project, attracting scholars home and abroad. The Chinese Ministry of Science approved and initiated the 973 project "Basic research on acupoints specificity based on clinical efficacy". The research team had been initially confirmed the presence of acupoint specificity, and summed up the effect with meridianal, relative, continuous and conditional characteristics; the meridianal is the most basic law. Biological basis researches on acupoint specificity finds that the acupoint state influence acupoint specificity, and degranulation of mast cell in point area related to acupoint specificity. In this paper we makes a review on research progress in the research on the meridian. In future study, we still need study around its basic law, science foundation and the key factors, and at the same time fully absorb the interdisciplinary technology, integration of international advantage resources, in order to comprehensive interpretation of the meridian specificity theory. |
