摘要

Objective: Using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to observe the influence of the up-transmitting of acupuncture signal into the brain in health volunteers whose nerve trunk was blocked by anesthetics.Methods: Thirty-one healthy volunteers were divided into two groups

the control group of 20 cases

and the brachial plexus blockade (BPB) group of 11 cases

with supraclavicular BPB route adopted. With the control group 2 acupoints were randomly selected (Hegu and Quchi of both sides)

while with the BPB group Hegu and Quchi of anesthetic arm side were selected. Siemens ECAM/ ICON SPECT system was used to conduct brain imaging using double imaging assay before acupuncture and99mTc-ECD imaging agent during acupuncture for cerebral perfusion. The data were quantitatively analyzed by blood functional changing rate (BFCR%) mathematics model.Results: Before acupuncture

the control and BPB groups showed insignificant change by SPECT

but after electro-acupuncture (EA)

the control group displayed improved motor and sensory cortex excitability in basal nuclei

contra-lateral thalamus

parietal and frontal lobe; while BPB group was characterized with reduction of the blood perfusion and cell function of contra-lateral thalamus of anesthetized arm. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.01).Conclusion: (1) After BPB

the up-transmitting of the acupuncture signal via upper limb into the brain

and its strength was impaired or blocked; (2) After BPB

the effect of acupuncture on cerebral perfusion and brain cell function of contra-lateral thalamus was impaired or blocked.
