Correlation between the skin surface temperature at the related back-shu points and the pulmonary ventilation function in patients with chronic persistent asthma based on the theory of "lung governing the skin and hair"
To observe the skin surface temperature at the related back-
shu
points in the patients with the different levels of pulmonary ventilation function in chronic persistent asthma
and to explore the correlation between the skin temperature at the back-
shu
points and pulmonary ventilation function indexes based on "lung governing the skin and hair".
Methods
2
Sixty-one patients with chronic persistent asthma
based on the level of pulmonary ventilation function
were assigned into a reduced pulmonary ventilation function group (reduced function group
32 cases) and a normal pulmonary ventilation function group (normal function group
29 cases). In the two groups
the skin surface temperature was measured in the sites of bilateral Feishu (BL13)
Geshu (BL17)
Pishu (BL20) and Shenshu (BL23); and the pulmonary ventilation function indexes (the percentage of predicted value of forced vital capacity [FVC%pred]
the percentage of predicted value of forced expiratory volume in the first second [FEV1%pred]
the percentage of predicted value of FEV1/FVC [FEV1/FVC%pred] and the percentage of predicted value of the peak expiratory flow [PEF%pred]) were recorded. The correlation between the skin surface temperature of acupoints and pulmonary ventilation function was analyzed.
Results
2
Compared with the normal function group
the surface skin temperature at the bilateral Feishu (BL13)
Geshu (BL17)
Pishu (BL20) and Shenshu (BL23) was higher in the reduced function group (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Compared with the normal function group
FEV1%pred
FEV1/FVC%pred and PEF%pred were decreased in the reduced function group (
P
<
0.001). There was no significant difference in FVC%pred between the two groups (
P
>
0.05). The skin surface temperature at the bilateral Feishu (BL13)
Geshu (BL17)
Pishu (BL20) and Shenshu (BL23) was negatively correlated with FVC%pred
FEV1%pred
FEV1/FVC%pred and PEF%pred in 61 patients with chronic persistent asthma (
P
<
0.001
P
<
0.01
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The skin surface temperature at back-
shu
points is elevated in line with the the decline of pulmonary ventilation function in the patients with chronic persistent asthma
presenting a negative correlation with pulmonary ventilation function indexes. It is preliminarily verified that back-
shu
point is characterized by reflecting the visceral disorders.
