Abstract

Researches about correlation between acupoints and calcium in recent more than 30 years in CNKI were retrieved, and correlative connection of acupoints with calcium were analyzed from different levels, such as acupoint part, peripheral pathway, target organs, central system, etc. It was turned out that there was a calcium ion enrichment phenomenon in acupoint part; there was possibly a certain connection between acupoint part and protein-bound Ca2+-ATPase; complex calcium ion in acupoint part influenced the effect of acupuncture; different methods of stimulating acupoint could significantly increase blood calcium content, decrease Ca/Cr ratio in urine; stimulation of acupoint could influence many target organs, improve their functions; stimulation of acupoints could influence distribution of calcium in the central nerve system. It is indicated that there is close relationship between the acupoint and calcium.
