To know that how be effected muscle injury by moxibustion treatment, we have measured the changes in concentration of electrolytes(K^+, Na^+, Cl^-), activity of LDH and CPK from blood serum after complete compression with rubber tourniquet around the femoral area of rabbit.
And we also examined effects of moxibustion applied to a meridian point Jog Sam Ri(S 36), Kan Soo(B18) on changes of concentration of electrolytes (K^+, Na^+, Cl^-), activity of LDH and CPK from blood serum at 30, 60, 90 minutes and 18 hours after release of tourniquet.
The results obtained from this study were as follows;
1. Among the concentration of electrolytes, that of K^+ in B 18 group at all times for blood serum has shown a significant increase than in control group, that of Cl^- in S 36 and B 18 group at 18 hours for blood serum has shown a significant decrease than in control group.
2. The activity of LDH in B 18 group for blood serum has shown a significant decrease compared with control group, but in s 36 group has not shown a significant decrease compared with control group.
3. The activity of CPK in B 18 group for blood serum has shown a significant decrease compared with control group, but in S 36 group has shown a increase compared with control group.
According to the above results, we have identified that moxibustion can recover muscle injury, and have considered that better effect upon in B18 than in S 36.
