Abstract

Tsutomu KISHI found that in Rokubu-joi pulse diagnosis, the pulse of the sun and the kan does not change, either in the masculine or the feminine, and of a right hander or a left hander as well.
But the pulse of Shaku on the left hand or right hand changes inversely according to the masculine or the feminine, and the same in the left hander or the right hander.
This law is confirmed by objectifying ten constitutions of 69 nan and 75 nan of acupuncture medicine by means of ultrasonic-pulsimeter of six derivatives.
In a masculine right hander, given one point acupuncture into the right Shaku, develop nine meridian lines, which run from shoulder to back. The third meridian line, which consists of three meridian lines, on the radial side, converges at Sanjiasohu (B22). From here develop two meridian lines; the one caudally runs through the side abdomen on the same side and reached Zhongwan (CV12) and the other does Shímén (CV5). The second meridian line, running in the center, reaches Mìn mén (GV4). There are two new latent papules at the crossing point between this meridian and the first line of the two bladder meridians. The first point, cranially situated from Mìn mén (GV4), is named Shang Mìn mén by R. FUJITA, T. KISHI and M. MARUYAMA, which is a reacting point of the adrenal gland. The second and one, caudally situated from Mìn mén (GV4), is perhaps called Wai-mìn mén by Ken SAWADA.
Now the meridian crosses the governor vessel from Mìn mén, caudally running in the opposite side abdomen and reaches Qìhai (CV6). Then the meridian once more crosses the conception vessel, and reached Qìxué (K13) or Zifu of the same side. From here develop two meridian lines; the one runs to Fushè (SP13) and the other arrives at Guanyuán (CV4). The meridian line from Guanyuán (CV4) caudally runs parallel to the conception vessel and reaches Huìyin (CV1) after all.
The first meridian line on the ulnar side from Shaku which also consists of the three meridian lines, reaches Shang Mìn mén, then runs through the same side abdomen and reaches Qìhai (CV6).
The meaning of Mìn mén (GV4) is a gate for life. The source of life is Yin yuan and Yang yuan. Yin yuan is Qìxué (K13), and Yang yuan is Huìyin (CV1). Guanyuán (CV4) is the gardstation leading to Qìhai (CV6) and Huìyin (CV1).
Now Shang Mìn mén is a reacting point to the adrenal gland, Qìxué (K13) to ovarium and Huìyin (CV1) to testicles gland. It is very interesting that the reacting points of these three organs closely combine each other with meridian lines, and that the chemical structures of the hormones which their corresponding organs secrete are intimately similar.
In a masculine right hander given one point acupuncture into the left Shaku, also develop nine meridian lines, which run from shoulder to back.
The first line of the inner side which consists of three meridian lines reached Shenshu (B23), the second midst line, Pángguángshu (B28) and the third lateral one, Zhìshì (B52). From each of these three points through the side abdomen on the same side, develop two meridian lines, referring to each point, and three meridians converge on two points, i. e. Zhongjí (CV3) and Huangshu (K16).
