Abstract: Current anatomical theory does not recognize the existence of an extended floating threadlike structure inside the blood vessels. Nonetheless, this study developed a new method for observing such an intravascular threadlike structure. The key technique involves injecting acridineorange into the femoral vein to circulate along the blood vessels and stain the nuclei of the intravascular threads inside the blood vessels. In-situ observations were then made under a fluorescence stereomicroscope after saline-perfusion. Confocal microscope images revealed a distinctive characteristic pattern of nucleus distribution that was clearly distinguishable from fibrin, capillaries, small venules, arterioles, or lymph vessels. Accordingly, it is suggested that the identified intravascular threads are part of the Bonghan's circulatory network that is distributed throughout the body, including inside the blood vessels.

Abstract: The signal characteristics of the biophotons from human hands were studied using correlation and δ-value analyses. Three healthy individuals without any history of disease participated in the measurements, six times every Friday for 52 weeks, while staying in a room with dim lighting to eliminate any delayed luminescence caused by the sun or room lights. Two head-on type photomultiplier tubes inside a dark room were used to simultaneously measure the biophoton emissions from the palm and dorsum of the left and right hand with a 100ms gate time. In view of the signal process, a cross-correlation of the long-term data, i.e. the weekly measurements, revealed a strong correlation between the signals from the left and right hand, yet only a very weak correlation between the palm and dorsum. The non-classical light property of the biophotons, that has a quantum coherence nature, was compared with that of the dark counts of the PMTs using a δ- value analysis. The average δ-value for the biophotons was 0.08±0.07. As such, it was found that the palm emissions were very coherent, while the dorsum emissions showed an occasional lack of coherence.
