Generating-sensation and propagating-myoelectrical

The meridian phenomena are closely associated with the neuro-muscular function. Our experiments show that meridian phenomenon, acupoint stimulation-induced generating-sensations along meridians (GSM), does exist in some volunteers, and the subjects can describe the characteristics of the feelings and the route of GSM. Simultaneously, GSM is often accompanied with progressive myoelectric activity along the meridian which is able to be recorded objectively. Bra-chial plexus anesthesia and regional neuro-muscular block may arrest these responses while the neuro-muscular blocking agent may stop neuromuscular transmission at the motor end-plate rather than check GSM. The facts reveal that GSM probably depends on muscular activity and is involved in the secondary neuro-muscular excitation propagating along the longitudinal axis of muscles. These findings suggest that the myoelectric activities constitute the foundation of secondarily generating-sensation propagating along the longitudinal orientation of limbs     

循经感传和循经肌电反应

应用电生理技术证明针刺引起循经感传现象的同时伴发有循经肌电发放, 循经感传速度和循经肌电步进速度在厘米每秒范围. 停止刺激后, 循经感传现象首先在远端消失, 并逐渐向近端推移, 与此相应, 肌电信号亦是首先在远端停止. 分别采用臂丛神经阻滞和不影响感觉系统的区域性肌肉非动化阻滞法, 循经感传和循经肌电信号一同消失, 表明这些现象有赖于感觉-运动反射活动的相互作用.

The facts reveal that GSM probably depends on muscular activity and is involved in the secondary neuro-muscular excitation propagating along the longitudinal axis of muscles. These findings suggest that the myoelectric activities constitute the foundation of secondarily generating-sensation propagating along the longitudinal orientation of limbs (muscles), or along the meridian.
