A contrast study on the effects of manual acupuncture and electroacupuncture was conducted in 60 cases of chronic hepatitis B carriers. The results demonstrated that the immunological functions, both cellular and humoral, were markedly regulated as evidenced by the negative turnover rates of HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBc and HBcAg, as well as the positive turnover rate of anti-HBe.
