In the last year after the success of acupuncture "testament have scholars, the theoretical basis of acupuncture questions through the meridians of the meridian theory what it really is. Although many patients benefit from acupuncture, also believe in acupuncture treatment, but also to the essence of main and collateral channels is wondering. On August 21 ~ 22 days of held 2011 Chinese acupuncture society academic annual meeting, the essence of the meridian again cause a heated discussion--

Meridian exactly is what

China's traditional Chinese medicine GaoXinJun news reporter

August 21, LiuDaMa in the hospital after the last time acupuncture treatment, touch right cheek, found his facial paralysis really healed. "Chinese medicine true stand fierce, the acupuncture is god!" LiuDaMa not praise, and at the same time have a problem but let her heart full of doubt, "a few needle pierced how can cure disease? The doctor said old through the meridians of the invisible, feel it, exactly is what?"

LiuDaMa don't know, she thinking about the problem at the same time, Beijing XieDao hotel in a conference room, from all over the country experts and scholars to relevant acupuncture also is the essence of the meridians are expressing their opinions.

Complex giant system said

"The main and collateral channels is a complex huge system!" Shanghai acupuncture meridian research center meridian research laboratory director, original fudan university physical chemistry professor phelan first out of his ideas.

He put forward the main and collateral channels by collagen fibers network, at least polysaccharide/water layer of network, ZuZhiYe glue in the blood vessels of the long-distance transport network, lymphatic vascular network, network, and network, the neural network and endocrine seven kinds of physical network organization in horizontal direction, and cross constitute the body of each structure level in vertical linked. The so-called "meridian function", it is to point to the seven physical network organization cross each other, effect, produce the comprehensive physiological function, it has life information specific to the characteristic of "autonomy".

The essence of the meridian explained, the essence of acu-points natural is not difficult problem. Phelan think, acu-points is the above seven physical network in the whole body of the formation of the cross everywhere "nodes". Imaging studies confirm that all are in all kinds of connective tissue, acu-points, in a DuoZhong element enrichment, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatic, the organization and the specific distribution, thus produce all sorts of microstructure of specific physiological function.

Phelan pointed out, the various channels reflected independent sexual characteristics "line, Yin and Yang, qi camp in the false or true, or impediment," is inherent in the life of the dissipative structure of information system of the regulation effects of generation, it involves the information self-consistent essence and philosophical proposition.

He stressed that the meridian research can't only constrained the morphology of the level, must also be extended to all kinds of co-ordination of the physical processes of the level, and even lives of information control level, will be fully cognitive meridian this complex network layer upon layer of the structure and the dynamic coordinate physical process, so the meridian research enriches the according to the life connotation.

Energy transfer system said

Traditional Chinese medicine academy of sciences institute of traditional Chinese medicine in sichuan province FengCheng just DuoNian to explore the essence of main and collateral channels with great concentration to work, after fibrous protein in biological polymer material for a series of related specimens of the observation data, combined with the theory research, draw the conclusion: the meridian of fibrous protein is the body's biological macromolecule substance in between the molecular, and molecular energy transfer system. Through the fibrous protein in biological macromolecule substance, between the molecules of molecular energy transfer system contact surface and body are, internal organs. Through the energy absorption and transformation, storage, transfer and release, regulate the body's energy of each part of the state, the transmission, the transmission and balance of the body each part of the information.

FengCheng just explained, the fibrous protein polymer material to the body's biological energy transfer provides the material molecular basis, and these creatures high polymer material also can absorb, transformation, storage, transfer, the release of energy. This energy transfer can in polymer material internal, also can be in between the molecules, and at the same time in the energy flow path or far affect the body of biochemical reactions, the physiological effect, cell differentiation, etc. Various kinds of functions.

FengCheng that he says, a fibrous protein in biological body biological macromolecule substance of the distribution of the three-dimensional network, the molecular molecules in the constant between the energy transfer in the network can form in some of the more fixed pathways. Protein molecules in the ongoing between energy transfer, in these energy transfer pathways of polymer material on biological molecules of biochemical physiological characteristics have also changed and characteristics of the change in these pathways some may be more beneficial to the more suitable for such a few energy transfer. As time passes, in the body of some of the biological macromolecule substance of network molecules in some molecules, according to the energy transfer law between formed some larger, relatively fixed, the main energy transfer pathways, this and traditional classical meridian "classics" followed the route, so do fit can think, traditional Chinese medicine grid system is the fibrous protein and other biological polymer molecules in the molecules of a material between the energy transfer system.

XunJing is meridian research breakthrough

Fujian institute of traditional Chinese medicine meridian's director of research, HuXiangLong introduction, after 50 DuoNian efforts, our country meridian research gradually formed a "XunJing feeling and the meridians and mechanism of the phenomenon", "the zang-fu organs and meridians related and contact way" and "meridians to the physical and chemical properties of online and related material base" three stability of research direction. , which are related to form a unified whole. Some of the research results obtained, gradually to the following line 14 meridians route and its and the function of the body is the focus of the regulation mechanism of collect, in many of the research material accumulation, everywhere in the emerging, "XunJing" features.

"XunJing research, this paper discusses the characteristics of the XunJing rule, expounds the mechanism of XunJing, is the focus of the meridian research in the future. XunJing meridian research is the most promising, is also the breach of the meridian research to produce the original results lies."

HuXiangLong said, through a lot of research material, the XunJing feeling that is commonly found in the crowd of a normal life phenomenon, and the function of human body and regulate related. With infrared radiation imaging technology, intuitively showed the ancients described by 14 meridians as the main body of the meridian system.

As early as in 1961, researchers have made it clear that XunJing feeling the phenomenon in meridian research to the important significance. In 1973, again XunJing feeling the meridian phenomenon is ancient and founded the meridian theory is an important basis. "So we discussed today is also the important according to the nature of meridian system, put forward and starting point from the start, and gradually approximation meridian phenomenon nature of meridian system the work mentality. Emphasis is discussed the mechanism of the XunJing feeling this is the first step of the nature of meridian system."

Today, the meridian research or a the consensus problem, different argument between academic point of view, will continue. Through the academic debate, through the scientific practice, and from the consensus gradually achieve the consensus, believe one day will reveal the essence of main and collateral channels.
