摘要

針灸對於治療慢性呼吸系統疾病效果佳但往往需要較長的療程。為了改善治療上不方便性，本研究案例利用羊腸線能被體內吸收的特性，將羊腸線埋入特定穴位內如同針灸理論並可藉由常時間刺激作用以達到治療成效，將患者在穴位埋線的前、後抽血，並篩選其過敏原與總量免疫球蛋白E（Ig-E）以定量分析比對，結果顯示，治療後的血液中敏原與總量免疫球蛋白E（Ig-E）均有明顯的減少，而患者臨床上的症狀亦有所改善，且無不良反應與副作用發生。針對過敏性鼻炎接受埋線治療，是一種方便、安全且有效的治療。

Acupuncture for treating chronic respiratory disease s shows good efficacy but often requires a prolonged treatment course. In order to enhance the accessibility for the treatment, we took advantage of the absorbable catgut and embedded it into the acupoint of patients with allergic rhinitis, which in theory could long-term stimulate the meridian to have therapeutic efficacy. We then did quantitative analysis of total serum allergens and immunoglobulin E (Ig-E) before and after treatment, and it showed significant decrease after treatment. This patient also got clinical improvement without any complication occurred. To use embedded catgut in acupoint to treat allergic rhinitis is convenient, safe, and effective therapy.
