Analysis of the mechanism of propagated sensation along meridians based on gene expression profiles.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Propagated sensation along meridians (PSM) is an important basis for the formation of the meridian theory, but its mechanism is still unclear. The study explored the mechanism of PSM from the perspective of gene expression.

Procedures

PSM induced by moxibustion was determined and classified according to the Modern Study of Meridians of Chinese Medicine. Seven subjects with obvious PSM (obvious PSM group) and five subjects with unobvious PSM (unobvious PSM group) were selected from 33 healthy volunteers according to the scores in their infrared radiant track along meridians (IRRTM) and the degree of subjective transduction. Agilent Human 4 × 44 K Gene Expression Microarrays V2 were used to detect the whole genome expression profile of subjects in the two gr
