With regard to name, Mesopuncture or pharmacopuncture (Pr BOSSY) or chimiopuncture or aquapuncture : it seems that a consensus emerges and that name mesopuncture or pharmacopuncture is prevalent, and for various reasons the term of Mesopuncture seems perhaps prevailing by equivalence with the mesotherapy.

The MESOPUNCTURE was revolutionized by the development of the BMN®.
 

Frequency of the meetings

The frequency of the meetings is of a meeting every two to three weeks.

Products injected

The products injected are anti-inflammatory drugs as regards the pains, and the salted serum for other pathologies, even injectable vitamins.

The number of BMN® used is of approximately about fifteen by meeting.

Formation with the technique of Mésopuncture and objectives of the site: mesopuncture.eu

The use of the BMN® authorizes the formation with the technique of mesopuncture, of any practitioner, according to their training in human anatomy during their university course. It is the major objective of this site, the other one is to refine the treatment by local injection thanks to the crossing of the information brought by each Net surfer.

Acupuncture and mesotherapy…the points....

The point of acupuncture

1.      The points of acupuncture are anatomically defined. They are more or less deeply located in under cutaneous fabric. There are, in acupuncture, superficial points whose existences are not recognized by all (Meridian tendino-muscular) but in a univocal way the point of acupuncture is deep, in the hypoderme.

2.      The point of acupuncture, has a histological existence highlighted in Montpellier by Pr SENELAR: It is often described like a "well" on the basis of the skin and crossing the derm to arrive at the hypoderme. In the content of this "well" it is in contact with a vasculo-nervous structure generally governing the body on which the point of acupuncture in question acts. In a great number of cases, the point of acupuncture is used as reference mark for the localization of this package vasculo-highly-strung person.

3.      This relation of the point of acupuncture with neuro-vascular plexuses explains why the point of acupuncture can act on a body while being distant from this one, nerve impulses forwarding by the spinal cord.

4.      Telling that the point of acupuncture is anatomically defined means it is perfectly locatable, to palpating, at any patient, from his intrinsic definition using the traditional anatomical reference marks of the human body, for example, the 34 GB locatable anatomically because is described as located in bottom and in front of the collar of the fibula which is a precise anatomical structure.

5.      Let us recall that this repertory of points of acupuncture, going back to millenia, is not innocent, it is a repertory of points to therapeutic virtue and each point of acupuncture ou/de mésopuncture, brought closer or moved away from the pathological zone, more or less deep, is a repertory of points always well anatomically defined, certainly, but especially very effective in the treatment of the pain or the ignition, the detoxication (cigarette, food etc).

The point of mesotherapy

The point of mesotherapy, contrary, is located superficially, in the derm: It is an intradermal point, without anatomical reference mark defining it in a fixed way other that a random localization and without clean anatomical structure, with the histological examination  : It is a point of the skin on the immediate surface of the implied zone.

Acupuncture and mesopuncture.....physiopathology.....

Action of the needle of acupuncture:

Acupuncture acts by mechanical stimulation. The excited receivers transmit at the central level the recorded stimulus which will generate on the level of the organization a physiological reaction which can be of nervous nature or humorale: endorphins, enképhalines, neuro-transmitters (BOSSY J. , CLEMENT-JONES and coll., LE BARS D., HAN J J ., LEGNATE and coll.).
 

There is, moreover, around the needle of acupuncture, an inflammatory reaction of conjunctive fabric with release of biochemical mediators and exiting action on the peripheral receivers, the vascular wall, the permeability of membrane etc. Even in the case of a parenchymatous fabric (skin) it is the conjunctive fabric of support which is the seat of the ignition.

Injection in the point of acupuncture or mesopuncture:

The effectiveness of the microinjection will intra dermic or in the point of acupuncture was largely shown by others that us: BARRAINE P and coll., BAULIEU J.L and coll., BICHEROB M., BINAGLIA L and coll., BOSSY and coll., CHAMBON C and coll., ACUPUNCTURE RESEARCH GROUP city by BOSSY J., SHENG L., SHENG K city by BOSSY J.

The injection in the point of acupuncture has the advantage of a facilitated diffusion: what was studied by isotopic markings making it possible to visualize this diffusion in real time : DE VERNEJOUL P., DARRAS J.C., ALBAREDE P., BEGUIN C., CAZAALA J B., DAURY G., DE VERNEJOUL J.

On the strict level of acupuncture, without being interested in its neurophysiological component, the modifications of balance of the components near the point of acupuncture introduced by the injection of product, within sight of what was known as for the intradermal injection, constituting a tank dermic of drug, can only prolong the effect of acupuncture. It would be interesting to know, then, if the drug injected has an invigorating or dispersing effect on the internal organ and thus on certain symptoms, by the catch of the pulses.
 

The injection by intradermal way or under cutaneous of analgesics, or isotonic salted serum, seems a complex way with multiple facets in the painful phenomena

           1) The analysis of the phenomena microvasculaires and loco-regional highly-strung persons created at the time of a local injection, evokes the role:

• Segmentary inhibition spinale, (H. ORCHARD, SICARD), the implication of the cortical higher centers and cerebral trunk, the intervention of endogenous substances morphino - mimetic at the time of the puncture ( AUCLAIR -­SEMAIRE G., BIONDI G., CHOS D., JEANMONOD P..).
• Microphone-vascular impact (BICHERON M) via the release of vaso-active substances at the time of the puncture and the injection, in the diffusion of certain molecules. Bradykinine and histamine are mediators who can express the vasculo-tissue response to the interstitial aggression represented by the physical and mechanical introduction, as pharmacological of the aqueous solution injected by the needle of acupuncture (BICHERON M. CAILLARD P., CLOAREC M., CORNILLOT P).
• Drug injected, either physiological salt solution or various products of the pharmacopeia . The drug is regarded as an antigenic substance whose presence involves an surge of macrophages, a multiplication and a differentiation of the lymphocytes T and B, and finally the production of immunoglobulins (RAVILY G., TAMBOISE E. ).

More general phenomena are generated by the intradermal injection of drug:

          2) Phenomena of diffusion and local availability of the drug at the time of a local injection:

Very low dose of drugs renewed in good time is likely to involve beneficial effects in the long run for which the local injection would be the adequate technique.
 

          3) The pharmacokinetic parameters of the intradermal or subcutaneous way are more eloquent
             still: (RIBUFFO M., LAURENZA M., SCHIFFERLING J cités par CORBEL D).

• The resorption is slow starting from the points of injection, carrying out a kind of microphone-perfusion.
• The diffusion is very specific, localised on the level of the point of injection and the passage towards circulation results in a crest lowering of the plasmatic peaks.
• The intradermal way authorizes a tissue distribution before the first hepatic transit is not carried out.
