- Abstract: Fifty-one fresh adult cadavers (male 21, female 30) were randomly selected. The required acupoints were localized and then the cadavers were frozen for anatomical dissection. Distance between the shallow point on the skin and the dangerous zones were measured after the cavaders were unfrozen. Data were analyzed statistically. The results showed that safe needling depths for Fengfu, Yamen, Fengchi and Jingming were 40.08mm, 38.10mm, 39.70mm and 34.25mm, respectively
