title: [Research of clinic and laboratory of face acupuncture effect and the exploration of their afferent pathways].
abstract: This paper shows that face acupuncture point (Liver point through gallbladder point) has significant effect of promoting bile secretion on the patients of cholecystectomy and choledochotomy and drainage. Special different point is that face acupuncture stimulation has very obvious posteffect comparing with other three body acupuncture groups and this posteffect lasts more than fifty minuts. The results also show that the successful rate of face acupuncture anesthesia is better than body acupuncture anesthesia during the ligation of oviduct and subtotal gastrectomy. The above results are all analysed statistically and there is a very significant difference among them. During the research on domestic dog anesthesiaed by face acupuncture, the successful rate is 86.5%, moreover the analgesic effect of face acupuncture can be blocked by blocking bilateral postganglionic fibre of trigeminal ganglion with 2% procaine. The results imply that trigeminal ganglion is the main afferent way of stimulation information of face acupuncture.
