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).
The matters related to the main subject: …From the view of Kishi's meridian, the stomach meridian related to glandula salivales tripper energizen meridian to hypophyses hypothalamus, and gall bladder

This paper reported a patient of a tendency to somnolence well treated with “Sansonin-to”. The patient was a 52-year-old house wife, small and lean, who always felt tired and had an intense desire and tendency to sleep in spite of a lot of sleep in nights. Her abdominal tonus was rather soft, and pulsation above the navel and tenderness besides the navel were evidently noticed.
At first, Toki-syakuyaku-san-ka-bushi (Dang-Gui-Shao-Yao-San-Jia-Fu-Zi) and Sansonin-to (Suan-Zao-Ren-Tang) were prescribed alternately every fourth day for one month, and afterwards, Sansonin-to was given predominantly, being Toki-syakuyaku-san concurrently. After about two months, the tendency to somnolence was completely improved.
In view of the effective results, already reported by us, of two insomniac patients with Sansonin-to, the decoction, Sansonin-to, can be inferred to have an effective function to both insomnia and somnolence. Regardless of the procedure of “roasting or no-roasting” the seed of Zizyphus jujuba Mill before boiling and making a medical decoction, some essential compositions of the seed might be necessary to be extracted into the decoction.

A 48-year-old man, suspected of erythema annulare centrifugum, was treated by Kampo-medicine. His clinical picture and findings were evidently consistent with those of erythema annulare centrifugum. Skin lesions, chiefly consisted of erythema with a little of exfoliation, were noticed both on the upper abdomen and on the bilateral lumbar regions.
Decoctions of Dai-saiko-to (Da-Chai-Hu-Tang) were mainly used for the treatment, concurrently with Keishi-bukuryo-gan (Gui-Zhi-Fu-Ling-Wan). Lumbar eruption comp letely disappeared after one month of the treatment and abdominal one also after four months without any trace of lesions.
The therapeutic mechanism of the skin lesions was briefly considered from both the stand point of “cell pathology” and that of “whole body pathology”.

The coefficient of variation (CV) of R-R interval in Electrocardiogram has been used to express the function of the autonomic nerves. To observe the effect of herbal medicine on the autonomic function, CV in the resting supine position was measured before, during and after treatment by extracts of herbal medicine-Kampo in 26 type-II-diabetics with autonomic dysfunction.
Before treatment the CV was found to be reduced significantly analyzed by t-test than in the age and duration matched control patients with diabetes mellitus without autonomic dysfunction. But during and after treatment the CV increased to the level of the controls. In the individual patient the CV was increased by the extracts in 18 out of 20 patients. And this increase were significant analyzed by paired t-test.
These observations suggest that the herbal medicine-Kampo could effect on the autonomic function and this effect would express as an objective and quantitative manner by a non invasive tecnique-determination of the CV.
