Abstract
Veterinary acupuncture is an important part of chinese traditional animal medicine.
The work of many scientists and clinicians over the past 20 years has confirmed the
therapeutic values of acupuncture in treating animal diseases. Nowadays, many
veterinarians wish to integrate acupuncture therapy into their routine practice. The
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) developed recently may provide a very useful
technique to explore the animal body’s anatomy and function. After anesthetized, we
used fMRI (Cardiac MRI) to gather the cardiac anatomy imaging and functional data
in normal cats and acupuncture cats. The acupoint of study is Neiguan acupoints,
which has been believed to affect cardiovascular function, and used to improve or
treat a wide range of health conditions and diseases. Owing to the fast speed and
strong data analysis of MRI machine, we can establish the basic cardiac function
index of cats including cardiac output, major vessel velocity, myocardium thickness
and myocardium oxygen consumption phenomenon. And measurement of heart rate,
breath rate, electrocardiogram and pulse are performed in the same time to explore the
function of autosomal nerve system and cardiovascular system. Results projected the
blood pressure values after electroacupuncture are less than single anesthetics and
soon recovery to normal. In normal cat, the parameters of heart in anesthetics and
one hour later after anesthetics include nEDV(4.12±0.82;2.74±0.43)、nESV(1.78
±0.5;0.83±0.10)、EF(0.57±0.06;0.69±0.05)、LVPFR (10.89±0.62;12.85±
1.06)、LVPER(-7.32±0.16;-9.54±1.30). Meanwhile, we also showed the special
anatomic figures around the points and all data provide very crucial information for
feline acupuncture practice. We hope provide the important platform for further
biomedical study like pharmaceutical and therapeutical fields.
