For the purpose of understanding the projection of the viscera on the body surface, the acupuncture point reaction (APR) was observed in 105 cases with various diseases of the stomach of which 99 with organic disorders, and 45 cases with various diseases of the liver. In all the patients definite diagnoses were made by modern medical techniques. 10 cases free from the disorders were used for control.
The points observed for the stomach group were Zusanli, Weishu, Zhongwan, Yanglingquan, Yinlingquan, Diji, Pishu and Shangwan, and for the liver group cases were Yanglinquan, Zusanli, Ganshu, Qimen, Ququan, Taichong, Danshu, Weishu, Pishu, Yinlingquan and Diji.
