      摘要:In the present paper, changes of TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1α. contents before and after treatment by acupuncture, moxibustion and Chinese medicinal herbs in 30 vascular dementia(VD) patients were observed and compared with the normal values of healthy people. Results showed that in VD patients, the content of serum TXB2 increased significantly and that of 6-keto-PGF1α decreased markedly in comparison with control group (P < 0. 01 ), suggesting a significant imbalance between plasma TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α;after combined treatment of acupuncture, moxibustion and Chinese herbs, the content of plasma 6-keto-PGF1α was raised remarkably and that of TXB2 lowered, which had a positive correlation with clinical therapeutic effect. The fact indicates that this combined treatment is capable of regulating the balance between plasma TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α, increasing cerebral blood flow, raising the metabolic rate of the brain tissues and improving functions of the brain.

      摘要:Searching for a good treatment method for gastroptosis, one hundred and twenty-two cases that were fitting standards were selected and randomly divided into two groups. We have studied comparatively. The results showed that the treatment group with acupuncture and moxibustion plus massage was much better in the curative effect than the control group with simple acupuncture and moxibustion. The clinical cure rate and total effective rate of the treatment group were 45. 3 % and 95. 3 % respectively, which of the control group were 27. 6 % and 69. 0 %. There is a significant difference between them. It shows that the combined therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion with massage for gastroptosis supplements each other and complements each other.

      摘要:To study the effect of L-arginine (L-Arg) which was injected into cerebral ventricle of rats on electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia, the potassium iontophoresis was used to induce tail-flick for mea- suring the pain threshold during EA analgesia, the precursor of NO, L-arginine(L-Arg) and the inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME) were injected into cerebral ventricle of rats. The effects of L-Arg and L-NAME on pain thresholds during EA analgesia were investigated. Results: L-Arg administration could significantly attenuate the pain threshold during EA and after EA 15 min. The effects of L-Arg 5mmol, 10mmol, 20mmol, 40mmol on EA analgesia were in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, a remarkable enhanced role of EA analgesia was observed by microinjecting L-NAME into cerebral ventricle of rats. The results sugested that an increase of NO in central nervous system of rats could decrease the EA analgesia. And a decrease of NO level in brain might be increase the effects of EA analgesia in rats.

      摘要:This study aimed to investigate whether the sensorimotor area I (SmI) emanating descending modulation of thalamic Pf neurons in acupuncture analgesia is related to activation of SmI neurons by electroacupuncture (EA). In the present experiments the effect of EA on spontaneous discharges of neurons in SmI was observed in rats. It was found that EA made the spontaneous discharges of SmI neurons obviously increased(p < 0. 05). It is indicated that EA can activate SmI neurons, by which SmI is involved in the descending modulation of Pf neurons in acupuncture analgesia.

      摘要:By using a kinetic cadmium-reduction method for determination of inorganic nitrite and using immunohitochemistry method for observation of NOS immunoactivity in rat brain, we surveyed changes of inorganic nitrite and NOS immunoactivity in middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) group and MCAo+ electroacupuncture (EA) group. The results showed that: ① content of inorganic nitrite in the region of infarction in MCAo group was higher than that of control side (P < 0. 05), rising degree was 95 %; ② iNOS immunoactive neurons were only distributed in cerebral cortex on the ischemic side but not on the control side in MCAo group; ③ after treating with acupuncture, changes differing from MCAo group emerged as below: the content of inorganic nitrite on the ischemia side was remarkably lower than MCAo group (P < 0. 05 ). In comparing with control side, the content of inorganic nitrite on the ischemic side was slightly increased, rising degree was 33. 3 %, no difference was discovered. Above results demonstrate that rise of NO level in rats brain was related to iNOS immunoactive enhancing after MCAo following reperfusion. One of the mechanism of protecting neurons against damage after cerebral ischemia with acupuncture was inhibiting iNOS activity.

      摘要:The model of reversible middle cerebral artery (MCA) ischemia/reperfusion was established by suture method in Wistar rats. Immunohistochemistry method was uesd to detect the apoptotic gene bax protein expression in cerebral cortex. The effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on apoptotic gene bax pro tein expression in cerebral cortex was evaluated in the focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion Wistar rats, including control group, focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion groups and electroacupuncture groups. In control group bax protein expression was weakly positive. In I3h group bax protein expression increased partly (P>0. 05), bax protein expression increased markedly in I3h/R3h group and I3h/R6h group (P<0.01 ), and EA could make the bax protein expression decrease significantly in I3h/R3h group and I3h/R6h group (P < 0. 01 ). These results suggested that the antiapoptotic mechanism of EA at bilateral "Hegu" Points (LI4) may be related to the downregulation of bax protein expression.

      摘要:In the present experiment, the late train discharges (c-response) of the wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons evoked by intense electrical stimulation of the skin were taken as nociceptive response. The inhibition produced by muscle spindle afferent elicited by electroacupuncture at "Zusanli" was observed. The results are as follows: 62 WDR neurons were observed in 27 SD rats. 21 were treated by "Zusanli" electroacupuncture, 15 (71. 43% ) of which were inhibited; 14 were treated by electroacupuncture at the point about 0. 5cm lateral to "Zusanli" and avoiding other acupoints nearby. The rate of c-response inhibition is 35. 71 %. The inhibition rate of another group is 31. 25 % which local muscle spindles were destroyed by injecting Bubicaine. The results indicate that the inhibition of c- response induced by electroacupuncture at "Zusanli" point is due to the afferent of local muscle spindles excited by electroacupuncture, and identify the afferent of muscle spindles has analgetic effects.

      摘要:In the present study, the mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA)at acupoints of the Pericardium Channel (PC) for improving experimental acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) were studied in rabbits, cats and rats, from the view of combination of physiological functions and anatomical structures and by using multiple indexes. Results demonstrated that: 1 ) EA of "Neiguan" (PC 6), etc. and non-points of the PC was of favorable regulative action on the electrical and mechanical activities of the ischemic heart; the PC is a functional entirety in regulating physiological activity of the ischemic heart; the effect of acupoints of PC has a relative specificity to a certain degree; 2) EA could improve cardiac performance and myocardial energy metabolism, while its key action mainly lay in the improvement of the microcirculation of the ischemic myocardium; 3) the action of EA of PC acupoints in bettering AMI is closely associated with EA-induced inhibition on the hyperactivity of the periphery sympathy-adrenal gland-CA system, central adrenergic and noradrenergic systems during AMI, and also associated with EA-induced enhancement of functional activity of the adrenal cortex and increase in the organic antidisease ability. Therefore, the local actions of EA on ameliorating AMI, protecting myocardial cells from injury are definitely not separable from its regulative action on the functional activities of the whole body. This fact suggests that in treatment of coronary heart disease, both the performance of the cardiovascular system and the state of the whole body should be considered simultaneously.

    • Effects of Acupuncture on Early Heart Function of Severely Scalded Rats

      Issue 4, Pages: 288-290(1999)
      摘要:In order to explore the effects of acupuncturing the Heart Meridian on heart function of severe scald, the Wistar rats with 30 % TBSA Ⅲ°scald were used. The changes of myocardial mechanics and the contents of cardiac troponin T in serum were observed in the group of scald and the group of acupuncturing Heart Meridian. The result indicated that the range of change of myocardial mechanics and cardiac troponin T in the group of acupuncturing Heart Meridian is lower than that in the group of scald. The result suggested that acupuncturing Heart Meridian has an improving effects on early heart dysfunction of severe scald.

      摘要:By recording the left common carotid blood pressure in rabbits(n = 12), the correlation and the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at the right aorta nerve and the bilateral "Neiguan" point (NP) were observed. Result and suggestion: This experiment shows the two ways can regulate blood pressure and EA at NP may reverse hypotension caused by stimulation of aorta nerve. It provides an animal experiment evidence for central regulation machanism of the blood pressure by NP. This method is simple and may be repeated very well. It can also be a reference for experimental acupuncture.

      摘要:The segmental distribution of afferent fibers in acupoint DU-4, ovary and adrenal gland have been studied with HRP (horseradish peroxidase) method. The results: afferent fibers in acupoint DU-4, ovary and adrenal gland overlap in the spinal ganglions of T13 - L2. This may be an important morphological basis for regulating serum estradiol level of acupuncture and moxibustion.

      摘要:Guinea-pig model of allergic asthma was established by OVA. Animals were divided randomly into three groups which were normal, model and acupuncture group respectively. The results showed that: (1) The levels of TNF-α and ET in model group were higher than those of normal group. (2) The levels of TNF-α and ET inacupuncture group were markedly lower than those of model group. All the results suggested that acupuncture could inhibit the synthesis and secretion of TNF-αand ET, block the release of inflammatory mediator, abate inflammatory reaction in airway and remit spasm of trachea smooth muscle.

      摘要:In this experiment, the gastrointestinal hormones and pathology were used as indices to research the protective effect of drug-partitioned moxibustion at "Shenque" (RN 8)on the function of gastrointestinal tract in tumor-bearing chemotherapy rats. The results show that the way drug-partitioned moxibustion at "Shenque"(RN 8) can avoid thinning gastric mucosa, prevent the necrosis of epithelial cells and superficial glands from exfoliating, and can also raise the levels of serum gastrin, serum motilin and gastrin of gastric mucosa. As a result, the repair of gastric mucosa is promoted and the gastrointestinal dynamic is adjusted. The experiment has proved that this method can effectively alleviate the gastrointestinal toxic reaction of chemotherapeutic drug (5-Fu) and protect the gastrointestinal functions.

    • Morphological Observation on Acupuncture Effect on Obese Rat

      Issue 4, Pages: 307-310(1999)
      摘要:In present study, optic and electron microscopes were used to observe the fat tissue, small intestinal mucosa and liver tissue of obese rat. The results showed that as compared with normal rat there were many morphological changes in the obese rat. The brown fat cells were enlarged, full and fat drops enlarged too, the number of mitochondrion and blood capillary decreased in obese rat. After acupuncture treatment, above changes reversed markedly. This paper provided one of important morphological bases for acupuncture antiobesity which was achieved by enhancing energy consumption and reducing energy intake.
