Commentaire : Les textes disent que Gaohuang est sous le Cœur et au-dessus du diaphragme, il s'agit d'un espace graisseux qui nourrit et protège le Cœur (Gaohuang est considéré actuellement comme partie constitutive du Xinzhu (MC).) Dans le Traité Général de l'Acupuncture et des Moxas de Yang on trouve mention d'une légende qui souligne l'importance de ce point. Un seigneur malade depuis de nombreuses années fit quérir le plus célèbre médecin de l'époque, Yi Huan. Dans la nuit qui précéda l'arrivée du médecin, le prince fit un rêve, deux esprits s'interpellaient : “Tu as entendu, dit l'un, on fait venir Yi Huan il va sûrement nous chasser, que faire ? ” L'autre lui répond “Cachons-nous au-dessous de Gaohuang, en cet endroit il ne pourra nous atteindre Le lendemain le médecin arrive, examine le malade et dit : “l'affection se trouve au Gaohuang, ni les herbes ni les aiguilles ne pourront vous guérir.” Cette légende signifie que certaines maladies sont incurables même traitées par ce point aux vertus extraordinaires (Laurent 2000).

Acupuncture to Gaohuang [43V] carries a risk of causing pneumothorax because it reaches the lungs at deep portion. This study was designed to consider a safe depth for acupuncture to Gaohuang. 1) We inserted a needle to Gaohuang on both sides of a cadaver to examine the location of the needle tip and measure the distance from the body surface of the left Gaohuang to the pleura. The tip was located at the fifth intercostal region on both sides, and the distance was 44 mm with a rib thickness of 10 mm. 2) Using 104 students, we inserted a needle to the left Gaohuang until-the tip reached the rib , and measured the distance between the body surface and rib. The minimal distance was 14 mm. 3) We inserted a needle to Gaohuang on both sides of two males and took CT-radiographs to examine the location of the needle tip and measure the distance from the body surface of Gaohuang to the pleura. In a man of standard body size, the needle reached the rib on the left and the intercostal region on the right. The thickness of the left rib was 10.9 mm, and the distance from body surface to pleura was 33.6 mm on the left and 28.4 mm on the right. In a man of thin body size, the needle reached the rib on both sides, with the rib thickness was 9.8 mm on the left and 8.8 mm on the right. The distance from body surface to pleura was 29.4 mm on the left and 31.8 mm on the right. The above results showed that needle insertion within 19 mm (the minimal value of the measured distance between the body surface and rib + the half thickness of the rib) is safe.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanism of moxibustion arresting the pulmonary fibrosis and provide experimental basis for prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with acupuncture and moxibustion. METHODS: One hundred and forty SD rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups: a blank group, a model group, a moxibustion group and a prednisone group, 35 rats in each group. The 3 groups expect the blank group were injected with bleomycin via trachea to induce experimental pulmonary fibrosis model, and 7 days after modeling, they were treated with moxibustion at bilateral Feishu (BL 13) and Gaohuang (BL 43), 3 cones each point, once each day, 10 days constituting one therapeutic course with an interval of one day between courses. After 3 courses, all rats were killed and expressions of TGF-beta1mRNA were detected with PCR method. RESULTS: The content of TGF-beta1mRNA in the pulmonary tissue in the moxibustion group and the prednisone group was significantly lower than the model group (P < 0.01), and there was no significant difference between the moxibustion group and the prednisone group (P > 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Both moxibustion at Feishu (BL 13) and Gaohuang (BL 43), and prednisone treatment can significantly suppress the expression of TGF-beta1mRNA in the pulmonary tissue in the rat of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Objectives: To observe the effect of moxibustion of “Feishu” (BL 13) and “Gaohuangshu” (BL 43) on the balance of T helper1/T helper2 (Th1/Th2) cytokines in BLMA5-induced pulmonary fibrosis rats, and to explore its underlying mechanism. Methods: Twenty-four SD rats were evenly randomized into control, model, moxibustion, and medication groups. Pulmonary fibrosis model was established by injection of Bleomycin via trachea (5 mg/kg). Moxibustion (3 cones/acupoint) was applied to bilateral “Feishu”(BL 13) and “Gaohuangshu”(BL 43) , once daily, with 10 days being a therapeutic course and an interval of one day, 3 courses altogether. Rats of medication group were fed with Prednisone (2.5 mg/kg) , once daily and continuously for 30 days. At the end of experiments, the rats were killed for taking out the left mid-lung tissues to be processed into homogenate samples. Cytokines such as IL-2, IL-12, IL-4 and IL-5 were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay according to instructions of reagent kits. Results: In comparison with control group, IL-2 and IL-12 contents of the lung tissue were significantly lower, while IL-4 and IL-5 considerably higher in model group ( P< 0. 01) ; whereas compared with model group, IL-2 and IL-12 contents were significantly higher (P< O. 05,0. 01), IL-4 and IL-5 levels significantly lower in moxibustion and medication group ( P< 0. 01). No significant differences were found between moxibustion group and medication group in the 4 indexes (P >0.05). It indicated that in BLMA5-induced pulmonary fibrosis rats, Thl cytokines IL-2 and IL-12 levels in the lung tissue decreased markedly, and Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-5 levels increased abnormally, both moxibustion and Prednisone could regulate changes of Thl and Th2 cytokines. Conclusion: Moxibustion of “Feishu” (BL 13) and “Gaohuangshu” (BL 43) can taise the con‑tents of Th1 cytokines (IL-2 and IL-12) and lower those of Th2 cytokines ( IL-4 and IL-5), suggesting that moxibustion induced balance between Thl and Th2 cytokines may contribute to its action in resisting pulmonary fibrosis.
Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion at “Feishu” (BL 13) and “Gaohuang” (Bl, 43) on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis and provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with acupuncture and moxibustion. Methods SD rats were randomly assigned to 4 groups, a control group, a model group, a moxibustion therapy group and a prednisone therapy group. The control group was injected with normal saline via trachea, and the other 3 groups were injected with bleomycin via trachea to induce the experimental pulmonary fibrosis rat model. Pulmonary pathological changes in each group were investigated on the day 7, 14 and 28 after treatment respectively, and pulmonary coefficients were compared among the groups on the day 28. Results The pulmonary coefficients in the moxibustion therapy group and the prednisone therapy group significantly reduced ( P <0. 01) and pathological examinations of the lung tissue revealed that the alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis alleviated significantly. Conclusion Moxibustion at “Feishu” and “Gaohuang” has a certain effect in prevention and treatment of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Objective :To explore the TCM theoretical and therapeutic basis of moxibustion at points Feishu and Gaohuangshu on pulmonary fibrosis (PF, pulmonary flaccidity), and to provide TCM theoretical support for further prevention and treatment of acupuncture & moxibustion on refractory PF. Methods : The relevant historical literatures from Qin & Han Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, modern reports on treatment of acupuncture on visceral fibrosis and other literatures concerned were retrieved. In the following, systematic inductive approach of differentiated scientific methods was used to trace back its origin, history and to master the core of theory, essence and basis of therapeutic method. Then, it was followed by arrangement, classification, sorting, analysis and discussion. Conclusion : It was the first systematical tracking and comprehensively summarized research on the TCM theoretical and therapeutic basis of treatment of acupuncture & moxibustion on pulmonary flaccidity (PF). And it was concluded that The TCM theoretical and therapeutic basis of moxibustion at points Feishu and Gaohuangshu on pulmonary flaccidity (PF) was the classical doctrine and original theory of treatment on collateral diseases on the basis of Treating Obstructive Symptoms by Tonification.
Objective To provide history literature and TCM theories for acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of the consumptive lung disease (interstitial pulmonary fibrosis). Methods Collect the reports of moxibustion on Feishu (BL 13), Gaohuangshu (BL 43), Geshu (BL 17) and Danshu (BL 19) for treatment of the consumptive lung disease or corresponsive syndromes, adopt systematically inductive method to trace back the history course of the therapy, and make systematization, classification, brief comment and review, and grap the quintessence of the main methodology. Conclusion Moxibustion on the above points for treatment of the consumptive lung disease has a long history, with a definite therapeutic effect, so, it should be deeply studied.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) treated with moxibustion at Gaohuang (BL 43). METHODS: With stratified block randomization, 72 patients accorded with inclusive criteria were divided into a moxibustion at Gaohuang (BL 43) group (moxibustion group) and an acupuncture group, 36 cases in each one. In the moxibustion group, Gaohuang (BL 43) was treated with big moxa cones as the main acupoint, 10 cones a time; Qihai (CV 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) were added with big moxa cones, 7 cones a time. In the acupuncture group, acupoints were the same as those in the moxibustion group, and twirling reinforcing method was used after qi arriving, 60 times one minute and 360° with range. In the two groups, 10-day treatment was made into one course and there were two days between courses. The treatment was given once a day for 3 courses. Changes of fatigue assessment index (FAI) before and after treatment and clinical effects were observed. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 88.9% (32/36) in the moxibustion group, which was better than 72.2% (26/36) in the acupuncture group apparently (P < 0.05). After treatment in the two groups, FAI scores were obviously declined compared with those before treatment (both P < 0.01) and FAI score in the moxibustion group was apparently lower than that in the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Moxibustion at Gaohuang (BL 43) can improve the FAI score of patients with CFS and the clinical efficacy is definite.
