Vet. Sci. 2001 2 3 221-226 I Veterinary Science Ultrasonographic Observation of Intestinal Mobility of Dogs after Acupunctural Stimulation on Acupoints ST-36 and BL-27 Mincheol Choi Juhyun Jung Minho Seo Kichang Lee Tchichou Nam Ilsuk Yang Yeosung Yoon and Junghee Yoon College of Veterinary Medicine Seoul National University Seoul 151-742 Korea The objectives of this study were to observe normal peristalsis and mixing or segmental movements and to evaluate an acupuncture stimulation ST-36 and BL-27 on the intestinal duodenum motility in normal dogs using duplex Doppler sonography. Fifteen healthy Beagle dogs were used for this experiment after the administration of warm saline 37 c lOmVkg . and pellet feeding 5Og kg . . . The duodenal motility was examined using duplex Doppler sonography six hours after the pellet feeding an electroacupuncture stimulation at ST-36 and BLr27 was applied and the duodenal motility was examined using duplex Doppler sonography pre-stimulation during the stimulation and poststimulation. After saline and pellet administration the duplex Doppler sonograms showed 3 types of peristalsis and a mixing type or segmental movement of duodenum motility. In the peristalsis types most yielded high-amplitude signals which had one high peak type-l two high peaks type-2 and three high peaks type-3 and lasted more than seconds. Mixing type of duodenum motility had weak signals and were lasted more than seconds. Among the peristalsis types the type 1 and type 2 were predominant and the type 3 was rarely observed. The frequency of Intestinal motility stimulated by ST-36 acupoint was increased during the acupuncture stimulation 20 increase compared to the basal value and decreased 7 decrease compared to the basal value after stimulation.
