      摘要:Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)and moxibustion(Moxi)pretreatment on myocardial pathological and structural changes and expression of autophagy related protein LC 3 Ⅰ/Ⅱ and Beclin 1 in rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MI/RI),so as to explore their mechanisms underlying improving MI/RI.Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation,model,ischemic preconditioning(IP),EA and Moxi groups(n=8 in each group).EA(10 Hz/50 Hz,1 mA)or Moxi(ignited moxa stick)was respectively applied to bilateral"Neiguan"(PC 6)for 20 min,once daily for 7 days.The MI/RI model was established by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery for 40 min,followed by reperfusion for 60 min.The left ventricular(LV)tissue samples were collected and analyzed for pathological(H.E.staining)and ultrastructural changes,for myocardial apoptosis(apoptotic index= number of apoptotic cells/total number of cardiomyocytes×100%)with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)method,and for the expression of LC 3 and Beclin 1 in myocardial cells with Western blot.Results Following MI/RI,H.E.staining revealed a disorder of arrangement of cardiomyocytes with vague border,inflammatory cell infiltration,intracellular swelling with bleeding,necrosis and dissolution of partial striated muscles of the left ventricle under light microscope,and dual staining of Uranyl acetate and leadnitrate showed atrophy,arrangement disorder,dissolution,necrosis,and interstitial edema of partial myocardial fibers,mitochondrial structural disorder,vacolation,and large body of autophagosomes with bilayers,etc.in ultrastructure,which was relatively lighter in both EA and Moxi groups.The apoptosis index,expression levels of myocardial LC 3Ⅱ and Beclin 1 and the ratio of LC 3 Ⅱ/LC 3 Ⅰ were significantly higher in the model group than those in the sham operation group(P<0.01),but the expression level of LC 3 Ⅰ was considerably down-regulated in the model group relevant to the sham operation group(P<0.01).Following the intervention and MI preconditioning,the increased apoptosis index and expression levels of LC 3Ⅱ and Beclin 1 proteins and the ratio of LC 3Ⅱ/LC 3 Ⅰ were obviously down-regulated in the IP,EA and Moxi groups relevant to the model group(P<0.01),and the decreased expression of LC 3 Ⅰ protein was up-regulated obviously in the 3 treatment groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).The effects of EA were significantly superior to those of IP and Moxi groups in down-regulating apoptosis index and expression of LC 3Ⅱand Beclin 1 and the ratio of LC 3Ⅱ/LC 3Ⅰand in up-regulating expression of LC 3Ⅰ(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Both EA and Moxi preconditioning of PC 6 have a protective effect on ischemic myocardium in MI/RI rats,which is probably related to their effects in regulating expression of myocardial autophagy proteins as LC 3 Ⅰ/Ⅱ and Beclin 1.

      摘要:Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)of"Fenglong"(ST 40)and"Sanyinjiao"(SP6)on lipid metabolic disorder,insulin resistance(IR)and expression of sterol regulatory element blinding protein-1(SREBP-1)c and fatty acid synthase(FAS)proteins in the liver tissue in hyperlipidemia rats with IR,so as to reveal its mechanisms underlying improvement of IR.Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into blank control,model,medication and EA groups(n=8 in each group).The IR model was established by feeding the rat with high-fat diet.Rats of the medication group were treated by intragastric administration of pioglitazone(10 mL/kg).For rats of the EA group,EA(2 Hz/100 Hz,1 mA)was applied to bilateral ST 40 and SP 6,once daily for 14 days.The insulin sensitivity index(ISI)was assessed by calculating 60-120 min glucose infusion rate(GIR 60-120)with euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp in reference to Kraegen's and colleagues' methods.Fasting blood samples(10 mL)were collected and analyzed for fasting blood glucose(FBG)using enzyme method,serum fasting insulin(FINS)using ELISA,free fatty acid(FFA)using spectrophotometry,and total triglyceride(TG)and total cholesterol(TC)employing glycerine phosphate oxidase peroxidase(GPO-PAP)assay,low density lipoprotein(LDL),high density lipoprotein(HDL)levels using combined filiter paper activity and lipase activity methods,respectively.The IR level was assessed by calculating homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)using the formula(FBG×FINS)/22.5.The expression levels of SREBP-1 cand FAS proteins in the liver tissue were detected by Western blot.Results Following modeling,the GIR60-120 and serum HDL were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and the HOMA-IR,serum FBG,FINS,FFA,TG,TC and LDL,and the expression levels of hepatic SREBP-1 cand FAS proteins were significantly increased in comparison with the blank control group(P<0.01).After the intervention,the decreased GIR 60-120 and serum HDL levels were considerably up-regulated(P<0.01),and the increased FBG,FINS,FFA,TG,TC and LDL,and hepatic SREBP-1 cand FAS protein levels were notably down-regulated in both EA and medication groups relevant to the model group(P<0.05,P<0.01).No significant differences were found between the EA and medication groups in all the indexes mentioned above(P>0.05).Conclusion EA intervention is able to improve the disorder of lipid metabolism of IR rats,which may be associated with its effects in reducing the expression of SREBP-1 cand FAS proteins and in lowering the synthesis of fatty acid.

      摘要:Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture(EA)on the levels of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 and neprilysin(NEP)protein in the temporal cortex of SAMP 8 mice with Alzheimer's disease(AD),so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of AD based on the theory of"mutual assistance of kidney and brain"in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods Eighteen male SAMP 8 mice were randomly assigned to 3 groups:model,EA and medication(memantine,n=6/group),and 6 male homologous SAMR 1 mice were used as the normal control group.According to the"mutual assistance of kidney and brain"theory,EA(2 Hz,0.6 mA)was applied at"Baihui"(GV 20),bilateral"Shenshu"(BL 23)and"Taixi"(KI 3)for 15 min,once daily for8 consecutive weeks.Mice of the medication group were treated with intragastric administration of memantine(20 mg·kg-1·d-1)for 8 weeks.The contents of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 in the temporal cortex were assayed using ELISA,and the expression of NEP protein in the temporal cortex was detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blot(WB),separately.Results The contents of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 were significantly higher in the model group than in the control group(P<0.05),and notably lower in both EA and medication groups than in the model group(P<0.05).WB assay showed that the expression level of NEP was significantly down-regulated in the model group relevant to the control group(P<0.05),and obviously up-regulated in both EA and medication groups relevant to the model group(P<0.05).No significant differences were found between the EA and medication groups in the contents of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 and in the up-regulated expression levels of NEP protein(P>0.05).Immunohistochemistry stain showed that NEP-positive products mainly expressed in the perikaryon of neurons of the temporal cortex.Conclusion EA intervention based on"mutual assistance of kidney and brain"theory has a good efficacy in up-regulating NEP expression and down-regulating Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 levels in the temporal cortex of AD mice,suggesting apotential effectiveness in the prevention and treatment of AD.

      摘要:Objective To explore the underlying mechanism of acupoint catgut embedding in improving primary dysmenorrhea(PD)in rats based on functional activities of the neuro-endocrine-immune(NEI)network.Methods Forty female rats were equally randomized into blank control,PD model,medication,and acupoint catgut embedding groups.The PD model was established by subcutaneous injection of estradiol benzoate(0.5 mg/rat on the 1 st and 10 th d,and 0.2 mg/rat from 2 ndto 9 th d)and oxytocin(2 U/rat,i.p.).Rats of the medication group were treated by intragastric perfusion of fenbid(0.8 mL/rat,125 mg/100 mL),once daily for 10 days.The catgut embedding was applied to bilateral"Ciliao"(BL 32),"Sanyinjiao"(SP 6)and"Guanyuan"(CV 4)before modeling.The body writhing times in 30 minutes were recorded,plasmaβ-endorphin(β-EP)content,and prostaglandin E 2(PGE2)and prostaglandin F 2α(PGF_(2α))contents in the uterus tissue were assayed using ELISA,and the activity of natural killer cell(NK cell)in the spleen tissue was detected using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-Htetrazolium bromide(MTT)method after isolation and co-culture with K 562 cells.Results The body writhing times were notably more in the model group than in the control group(P<0.01),and obviously fewer in both medication and catgut embedding groups than in the model group(P<0.01).After modeling,the plasmaβ-EP and uterus PGE2 contents and splenic NK cell activity were significantly decreased(P<0.01),while the uterus PGF_(2α) content was evidently increased in the model group relevant to the control group(P<0.01).Following the treatment,plasmaβ-EP and uterus PGE2 contents and splenic NK cell activity were considerably up-regulated(P<0.01),and uterus PGF_(2α) content was markedly down-regulated in both medication and acupoint catgut embedding groups(P<0.01),suggesting an involvement of the NEI network in catgut embedding-induced improvement of PD.The therapeutic effect of catgut embedment was markedly superior to that of medication in up-regulating splenic NK cell activity(P<0.01).No significant differences were found between the medication and catgut embedding groups in the body writhing times within 30 min,and in the levels of plasmaβ-EP and uterus PGE2 and PGF_(2α)(P>0.05).Conclusion The acupoint catgut embedding has a significant efficacy in relieving PD in rats,which may be related to its effect in up-regulating plasmaβ-EP,uterus PGE2 contents and splenic NK cell activity and in down-regulating uterus PGF2αlevel.

      摘要:Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)for depression in late pregnancy and impacts on inflammatory cytokines.Methods A total of 150 pregnant women with depression in late pregnancy were randomized into a high intensity group(n=52),a low intensity group(n=49)and a control group(n=49).TEAS was applied at bilateral Neiguan(PC 6)and Shenmen(HT 7)for 6 weeks.The intensities of TEAS in the high intensity group,the low intensity group and the control group were 10,5 and 0 mA,respectively.During the process of TEAS,the blood pressure,pulse,uterine contraction and the fetal heart rate were recorded.Depression was evaluated by 24-item Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)before TEAS and after 2-week,4-week,6-week treatment.Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-6 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)before and after 6-week treatment.Delivery outcomes were observed.The correlation was analyzed between HAMD difference value and the difference values of TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-6,respectively.Results The blood pressure,pulse and fetal heart rate had no statistical significance before and after treatment in the three groups(P>0.05).The HAMD scores at all the time points were lower than that before treatment in the high intensity group(P<0.05),which were lower compared with those in the low intensity group and the control group(P<0.05).The HAMD score in the low intensity group decreased after 6-week treatment compared with that before treatment and was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The serum levels of IL-1βand IL-6 in the high intensity group decreased compared with those before treatment and were lower compared with those in the low intensity group and the control group after 6-week treatment(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the deliver outcomes among the three groups(P>0.05).The variation of HAMD score did not have significant correlation with those of TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-6(P>0.05).Conclusion TEAS is safe and effective for depression in late pregnancy and can regulate the serum levels of IL-1βand IL-6 without influencing on delivery outcome.

      摘要:Objective To observe the analgesic effect of deqi induced by needling at Sanyinjiao(SP 6)on primary dysmenorrheal(PD)patients with cold damp stagnation syndrome(CDSS).Method A total of 64 PD patients with CDSS experiencing abdominal pain(≥40 mm in visual analogue scale,VAS)were randomly assigned into deqi-expectation(DE)group(n=15)and no-deqi-expectation(NDE)group(n=49).On the first day of abdominal pain attack,bilateral SP 6 were punctured respectively with thicker needles with deeper insertion for deqi-expectation patients and thin filiform needles with shallow insertion for no-deqi-expectation patients.The needles were removed after 30 minutes,adeqi scale was used to evaluate the deqi condition.According to the results,patients in the DE group were further divided into deqi DE group and no-deqi DE group,patients in the NDE group were also divided into deqi NDE group and no-deqi NDE group.The VAS was used to evaluate the patients' abdominal pain severity before treatment and 0,10,20,30 min after acupuncture needle withdrawal.Results The rate of deqi in the DE group was higher than that in the NDE group(P<0.05).The VAS scores of abdominal pain in the four groups were decreased at all time-points after needle withdrawal compared with those before treatment(P<0.01),while the VAS score in the deqi DE group were lower than in the no-deqi NDE group 30 min after needle withdrawal(P<0.05).Conclusion The intervention method of thick needle,deep insertion and some manipulation is easier in inducing deqi than that of thin needle,shallow insertion and no manipulation.The analgesic effect of deqi is better than that of no-deqi for PD patients with CDSS.

      摘要:Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on inflammatory indices and symptoms in patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease,and investigate its mechanism.Methods Seventy-nine patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease were randomly assigned to a control group(n=37)given conventional treatment and an observation group(n=42)given conventional treatment and acupuncture therapy.In the observation group,acupionts of Zhongji(CV 3),Guanyuan(CV 4),Zigong(EX-CA 1),Zusanli(ST 36),Sanyinjiao(SP 6),etc.were selected.Each group received treatment once daily,for a total of 7 days.Tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-10 and C-reactive protein(CRP)in the serum,white blood cell(WBC)and neutrophil counts,size of pelvic mass and depth of pelvic effusion,and clinical symptoms were assayed pretreatment and on days 3 and 7.Results WBC and neutrophils were significantly decreased after treatment in both groups(P<0.05),and more in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the size of pelvic mass and depth of effusion were less in both groups(P<0.05),and the efficacy in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(P<0.05).In the observation group,serum TNF-α,and CRP on day 3 and day 7 were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.05).Serum TNF-αand CRP were significantly down-regulated in the observation group compared with those in the control group on both day 3 and day 7(P<0.05).In the observation group,serum IL-10 was higher on both day 3 and day 7 than that before treatment(P<0.05),and was statistically different from that in the control group on both days(P<0.05).The clinical efficacy in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(95.24% vs 81.08%,P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture can regulate the levels of inflammatory markers in patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease,and improve clinical symptoms.

      摘要:Facial nerve injury results in facial muscle movement disorders that interferes with patient's life.Acupuncture is an effective therapy for facial nerve injury,but its mechanism has not been clarified.The evidence supports that acupuncture can accelerate the repair of facial nerve injury by adjusting the electric wave of patient's facial muscle,improving facial blood circulation,and promoting the expression of cell and protein molecule.
