Acupuncture appears to act through multiple pathways.
A new mechanism explaining the analgesic effect of acupuncture was published in the July issue of ‘Nature Neuroscience’.
➊ Cells in tissues stimulated by acupuncture release ATP out of the cells.
➋ ATP is converted into adenosine through the action of several enzymes, including PAP.
➌ Adenosine attaches to the receptor (A1R) of the nociceptive neuron and sends a signal to suppress chronic pain. Adenosine is reabsorbed into the cell through cell membrane channel proteins.
In the 1960s, Dr. Kim Bong-han, a North Korean kidnapped scholar, was the first to argue that there is a third duct in the animal body in addition to the nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic system. Subsequently, in 2010, researchers at Seoul National University discovered a duct with similar characteristics to Bonghan’s duct by staining it using a special technique. did. It is said that this vessel did not display specific markers found in lymphatic vessels, confirming that it is a third system that is different from lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. In 2000, a large-scale clinical study was conducted in Germany to improve the basis for insurance payment for acupuncture treatment, and the results of 8 weeks of acupuncture treatment demonstrated excellent effectiveness in migraines, chronic back pain, and knee arthritis.
Acupuncture is the most effective traditional Oriental treatment method that maximizes the body’s natural healing power, has few side effects, and is inexpensive. It is being proven more actively in the West and China than in Korea and is being used in various medical fields.

‘Nature Neuroscience’ 7월호에는 침의 진통효과를 설명하는 새로운 메커니즘이 실렸다.
➊ 침의 자극을 받은 조직의 세포는 ATP를 세포 밖으로 내보낸다.
➋ ATP는 PAP를 비롯한 여러 효소의 작용으로 아데노신으로 바뀐다.
➌ 아데노신은 통각 수용뉴런의 수용체(A1R)에 달라붙어 만성통증을 억제하는 신호를 보낸다. 아데노신은 세포막 통로 단백질을 통해 세포 안으로 재흡수된다.
1960년대 북한의 납북학자 김봉한 박사는 동물의 몸에는 신경과 혈관, 림프계 이외에 제 3의 관이 있다고 최초로 주장하였는데, 이어 2010년 서울대학교 연구진이 봉한관과 비슷한 특성을 가진 관을 특수기법으로 염색하여 발견했다.
이 관은 림프관에서 나타나는 특정 마커가 나타나지 않아 림프관과도 다르고 혈관과도 다른 제3의 체계임이 확인되었다고 한다. 2000년 독일에서는 침 치료의 보험 지급에 대한 근거를 제고하기 위해 대규모 임상연구를 하였는데, 8주간의 침 치료결과, 편두통, 만성 요통, 슬관절염 등에서 탁월한 효과를 입증하였다.
