Abstract EN
The efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion is closely related to Deqi phenomenons, which are some subjective feelings.
However, no one has reported the objective characterization of Deqi.
Our preliminary research has found a phenomenon of tail temperature increasing (TTI) obviously in some stroke rats by suspended moxibustion at the acupoint dà zhuī (DU 14), which is similar to one characterization of Deqi during moxibustion that moxibustion heat is transferred from the original moxibustion acupoint to the other areas of the body.
We wonder whether TTI is the objective indicator of Deqi characterization in animals.
The present study showed that the stroke rat’s recovery was also associated with TTI phenomenon.
This suggests that TTI phenomenon is one objective characterization of the Deqi in stroke rats.
Application of the TTI phenomenon contributes to explore the physiological mechanism of Deqi.
