Traumatology and Orthopedics
From the cutaneous Electrical Conductance Quantity (ECQ) of Jing (Well) points, Yuan (Source) points and Luo (Collateral) points of the twelve regular channels, we observe the channel state in patients with acute sport injury of external malleolus. 45 cases with acute sport injury of external malleolus were chosen to be as the observation group, and 30 healthy people as the control group. The ECQ of the cutaneous tissue of Jing-points, Yuan-points and Luo-points of the twelve regular channels was detected by HB-DET Acupoint Diagnosis-Therapeutic Apparatus under room temperature. When the difference of ECQ values between the bilateral limbs exceeded 50, it was considered to be imbalance.

Results and conclusion:In observation group?the imbalance state reflected from ECQ of Jing-points mainly involved TE Channel and Kidney Channel. The imbalance rate has been 60.0% (27/45) and 55.6% (25/45) which were Significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The EOQ of the Yuan-points of the 12 regular channels indicated that the imbalance state mainly involved UB Channel (32/45), GB Channel (30/45), Liver Channel (28/45), Kidney Channel (27/45), Stomach Channel (25/45) and Pericardium Channel (21/45), which were significantly higher than those of control group in the number of imbalanced channels (P<0.05). The ECQ of the 12 Luo-points showed that the imbalanced channels were mainly GB Channel (29/45) and UB Channel (29/45), which were significantly higher than those of control group.  The imbalance rate of Yuan-points was apparently higher than those of Jing-points and Luo-points (P<0.05). Acute external malleolus sport injury may lead to imbalance of channels passing through the injured areas (UB, GB, LV, KI and ST) and also involves the Channel dominated by heart.
