In order to understand the physical and physiological
peculiarity of acupuncture
points, there have been many searches to find their anatomical
bases. But the
only known report on the anatomical structure corresponding to
the acupuncture
points and meridians is the Bonghan Theory. While others have
observed nerve
endings or neurovascular plexus at acupoints, the Bonghan Theory
identified a
tissue that differs from other circulatory systems. It is an
interestingdiscovery that Bonghan ducts spread throughout the whole
body as the acupuncture
meridians spread systematically with the principle meridians,
collaterals, and
divergences, and so on. Especially, there is a high potential
for medical
application due to its tubular structure and flowing Sanals. The
Bonghan theory
has several viewpoints contradictory to those of western medical
society such as
the intravascular Bonghan duct and the pluripotent Sanal.
Recently, however,
many experiments have shown the results to support the Bonghan
theory, so it
this theory has attracted scientific societys attention.
In this thesis, three issues on Bonghan theory were
investigated. They are the
existence of the intravascular Bonghan duct, correspondence of
superficial
Bonghan duct to acupuncture meridian, and distinguishing Bonghan
Sanal from
other micro-sized-particles. A fluorescence stereomicroscope
system was
developed in order to observe in situ the distribution of nuclei
ofintravascular Bonghan ducts and corpuscle tissues by injecting
acridine orange,
which stained nuclei specifically. Intravascular Bonghan
corpuscles, connected
with Bonghan ducts could be detected in the aortas of rats and
mice. For the
first time, the transparent threadlike structure without blood
coagulation was
taken. The elastic fibers and argyrophilic fibers in
histological analysis also
support Bonghan Kims assertion. To visualize the superficial
Bonghan duct,
fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles were injected at the
acupoints of Bladder
meridian which is located back skin along the spine. Straight
lines were
appeared along the acupuncture meridian and they were confirmed
by fluorescent
microscopy and electron microscopy. It was found that the
distribution of this
channel is consistent with the distribution of the specific
muscle group. This
suggests the muscle group as a circulatory system. Whether it is
the same
structure with superficial Bonghan corpuscle is not certain yet.
This suggeststhat the muscle group is a circulatory system. In
chapter 4, the most
significant Sanal was studied. The method to separate Sanals
from organ surface
Bonghan corpuscles and ducts was introduced, and their
characteristics were
compared with other micro-sized particles, especially with
apoptotic bodies.
Their budding structure and high elasticity were proven to be a
unique
characteristic of the Sanal.
The Bonghan theory can be a revolution in the medical world. If
the mechanism of
acupuncture therapy will be elucidated, new diagnosis and
alternative therapies
based on this mechanism will be introduced. This thesis
contributes to the
rediscovery of the intravascular Bonghan duct and Bonghan Sanal.
On this
cornerstone, further studies on their function will be
possible.
