Neurovascular Primo Bundles at the Kidney Meridian Revealed Using Hemacolor Staining
Abstract
Neurovascular bundles were observed earlier in connection with the K-meridians of a rat [1]. At that time, the existence of the primo vessel (PV) in the bundle was not noticed despite expectations in accordance with the description of Kim [2]. Applying the hemacolor staining technique, which was recently developed to detect the subcutaneous primo vascular system (PVS) [3], the expected PV was, indeed, revealed. This finding of a neurovascular primo (NVP) bundle is the first example of a PVS found in the peripheral nerves. Until now, the PVS was not regularly observable at specifically defined positions [4]; thus, the current finding is a breakthrough in PVS research in the sense that NVP bundles are repeatedly observed in anatomically well-defined positions. The connection of the PVS with acupuncture was not shown until the recent report on detection of PVS using hemacolor [3]. The NVPs exist at acupuncture meridians such as the putative K and ST meridians. Furthermore, they represent paths from the acupoints in the skin to the brain for either transmission of signals, such as the electric signal of electroacupuncture, or flow of the herbal medicine of pharmacopuncture. This result gives rise to a hope that acupuncture may possibly be used to treat diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (Fig. 1).
