      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yiyuan moxibustion on urodynamics and the expressions of transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), tyrosine protein kinase KIT (C-Kit) and adenosine triphosphate receptor P2X5 in bladder tissue of rats with detrusor reflex-free neurogenic bladder (NB) after sacral cord injury (SCI), so as to explore its mechanism in promoting the recovery of urination function of NB rats.MethodsFemale SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, Yiyuan moxibustion, Yiyuan moxibustion+inhibitor (combination) and inhibitor groups, with 12 rats in each group. The model of detruser reflex-free NB after sacral SCI was established by modified Hassan Shaker spinal cord transection method. The behavioral score of Basso Beasttie Bresnahan (BBB) and urodynamic indexes were used to evaluate the model of rats after operation. Fifteen days after modeling, Yiyuan moxibustion was applied to “Shenque” (CV8) and “Guanyuan” (CV4) for 20 min, once daily for 14 days. Rats of the inhibitor and combination groups were given intravesical instillation of HC067047 (1 mL, 1 μmol/L, 30 min). After the interventions, urodynamics was used to evaluate the bladder function of rats. HE staining was used to observe the morphology of bladder tissue. ATP content in bladder tissue was detected by colorimetric method. The positive expression rates of C-Kit and their receptor P2X5 in bladder tissue were observed by immunofluorescence double labeling method, and TRPV4, C-Kit, and P2X5 protein expression levels in bladder tissue were detected by Western blot.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance of rats in the model group were increased (P<0.01), the leak point pressure, ATP content, the possitive expression rates of C-Kit and P2X5, and the protein expression levels of TRPV4, C-Kit, P2X5 in bladder tissue were decreased (P<0.01). In comparison with the model and combination groups, the Yiyuan moxibustion group showed a decrease in maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance (P<0.01), an increase in leakage point pressure, ATP content, the possitive expression rates of C-Kit and P2X5, and TRPV4, C-Kit, and P2X5 protein expression levels (P<0.01, P<0.05); However, these indicators showed opposite trends in the inhibitor group (P<0.01, P<0.05).ConclusionYiyuan moxibustion can improve the urodynamics and bladder function in rats with bladder detrusor nonreflective after SCI, which may be related to its effect in activating the TRPV4 channel in bladder tissue, promoting the release of ATP from bladder epithelium, thus increasing the expression of bladder Cajal interstitial cells and their purinergic P2X5 receptors.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on neurogenic urinary retention rats, so as to explore the underlying mechanism of EA in treating neurogenic urinary retention by focusing on 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1)/protein kinase B (Akt)/hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel 4 (HCN4) pathway.MethodsFemale SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, EA, PDK1 inhibitor, HCN4 blocker and EA + HCN4 blocker groups, with 20 rats in each group. The model of sacral spinal cord injury was established by modified Hassan Shaker spinal cord transection method. EA (2 Hz/15 Hz, 0.5 mA) was applied to “Zhongji” (CV3) and “Zhongliao” (BL33) for 20 min, once daily for 10 days. Rats of the PDK1 inhibitor group received intraperitoneal injection of OSU-03012 (20 mg/kg), and rats of the HCN4 blocker group received intraperitoneal injection of ivabradine (10 mg/kg), both once every other day for 10 days. The urodynamic indexes of rats were detected by multi-channel physiological recorder; muscle strip test was used to detect detrusor excitability; the morphological changes of bladder were observed by HE staining. Immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the co-expression of HCN4 and C-Kit, a specific marker of interstitial cells of Cajal in bladder. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PDK1/Akt/HCN4 pathway proteins in bladder tissue and heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), a protein related to bladder contraction function.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the rats in the model group showed urinary dysfunction, decreased leak point pressure, isolated detrusor spontaneous contraction frequency, fluorescence intensity of C-Kit positive cells, HCN4+/C-Kit+ co-expression, HCN4 and p-HSP27/HSP27 protein expression in bladder tissue (P<0.05), and increased maximum bladder capacity and comp-liance, minimum tension during contraction of isolated detrusor, PDK1 and p-Akt/Akt protein expression in bladder tissue (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the above index were all reversed after EA and PDK1 inhibitor intervention (P<0.05). In comparison with the EA group, the rats had severe urinary dysfunction, the urine leakage point pressure, spontaneous contraction frequency, fluorescence intensity of C-Kit positive cells, the co-expression of HCN4+/C-Kit+, and the protein expression of HCN4 and p-HSP27/HSP27 were decreased (P<0.05), the maximum bladder capacity and compliance, the minimum tension during contraction of isolated detrusor, and the protein expression of PDK1 and p-Akt/Akt in bladder tissue were increased (P<0.05) in both HCN4 blocker and EA+HCN4 blocker groups. HE staining showed exfoliated bladder epithelium and disordered layers, vacuolization of bladder wall cells, with infiltration of neutrophils in mucosal and muscular layers in the model group, which were relatively milder in the EA and PDK1 inhibitor groups, but worse in the HCN4 blocker and EA + HCN4 blocker groups.ConclusionEA can improve the urinary dysfunction in rats with neurogenic urinary retention, which may be related to its effect in inhibiting the activation of PDK1/Akt pathway, promo-ting HCN4-mediated detrusor excitatory contraction and urinary electrical signal activation.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on urodynamics and Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway in spine cord tissue of rats after suprasacral spinal cord injury (SSCI), so as to explore its possible mechanism in improving bladder function in rats with detrusor hyperreflexia after SSCI.MethodsFemale SD rats were randomly divided into blank, sham operation, model, EA and EA+PD98059 groups, with 12 rats in each group. Thorax (T) 10 spinal cord transection was performed by surgery. Rats in the EA group were given EA (10 Hz/50 Hz, 20 min) at “Ciliao” (BL32), “Zhongji” (CV3), “Sanyinjiao” (SP6) and “Dazhui” (GV14) once daily for 7 d. Rats of the EA+PD98059 group received intraperitoneal injection of PD98059 (5 mg/kg) 2 h before EA intervention. The urodyna-mics was used to measure the base pressure, leak point pressure, maximum pressure, maximum capacity and comp-liance of bladder, and the morphology of bladder detrusor tissue was observed with HE staining. The TUNEL staining was used to detect the cell apoptosis of the spinal cord tissue. The expression levels of exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 2 (Epac2), Rap, phosphorylated rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (p-Raf), phosphorylated mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-MEK), phosphorylated extracellular signal regulated kinase 1 and 2 (p-ERK1/2), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) were determined by Western blot.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the base pressure, leak point pressure and maximum pressure of bladder were significantly increased (P<0.01), the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance were decreased (P<0.01), the cell apoptosis rate of spinal cord tissue was increased (P<0.01), and the expression levels of Epac2, Rap, p-Raf, p-MEK, p-ERK1/2, and Bcl-2 protein in spinal cord tissue were decreased (P<0.01), while the expression level of Bax protein was increased (P<0.01) in the model group. After the treatment and compared with the model group, the base pressure, leak point pressure and maximum pressure of bladder, the cell apoptosis rate of spinal cord tissue, the expression level of Bax protein were decreased (P<0.05) in the EA group, while the maximum bladder capacity and bladder compliance, the expression levels of Epac2, Rap, p-Raf, p-MEK, p-ERK1/2, and Bcl-2 protein in spinal cord tissue were all increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). In comparison with the EA group, the base pressure, leak point pressure and maximum pressure of bladder, the cell apoptosis rate, the expression level of Bax protein were significantly increased (P<0.05), whereas the maximum bladder capacity, bladder compliance, and the expression levels of p-MEK, p-ERK1/2, and Bcl-2 protein were decreased (P<0.05) in the EA+PD98059 group. Results of HE staining showed disordered transitional epithelial cells and destroyed lamina propria in bladder detrusor tissue, with the infiltration of monocytes in the model group, which was obviously milder in both EA and EA+PD98059 groups, especially in the EA group.ConclusionEA can improve the bladder function in detrusor hyperreflexia rats after SSCI, which may be related to its effect in up-regulating Epac2 and Rap, activating the Raf-MEK-ERK pathway, and reducing the cell apoptosis of spinal cord tissue.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of motion-style scalp acupuncture (MSSA) on H-reflex in rats with post-stroke spasticity (PSS), so as to explore the electrophysiological mechanisms of MSSA against spasticity.MethodsA total of 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model and MSSA groups, with 12 rats in each group. The stroke model was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. After modeling, rats in the MSSA group were treated by scalp acupuncture (manipulated every 15 min, 200 r/min) at ipsilesional “parietal and temporal anterior oblique line” (MS6) for a total of 30 min, the treadmill training (10 m/min) was applied during the needling retention, once daily for consecutive 7 days. The neurological deficits, muscle tone and motor function were assessed by Zea Longa score, modified modified Ashworth scale (MMAS) score and screen test score before and after treatment, respectively. The H-reflex of spastic muscle was recorded by electrophysiological recordings and the frequency dependent depression (FDD) of H-reflex was also recorded. The cerebral infarction volume was evaluated by TTC staining.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the Zea longa score, MMAS score, cerebral infarction volume, motion threshold, Hmax/Mmax ratio and FDD of H-reflex were significantly increased (P<0.01), while the screen test score was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the model group. Intriguingly, compared with the model group, the above results were all reversed (P<0.01) in the MSSA group.ConclusionMSSA could exert satisfactory anti-spastic effects in rats with PSS, the underlying mechanism may be related to the improvement of nerve function injury, the reduction of spastic muscle movement threshold, Hmax/Mmax ratio and H-reflex FDD.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the similarities and differences of effects of moxibustion at “Zusanli” (ST36) on target tissues and macrophages polarization in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats, and to summarize its efficacy and characteristics.MethodsThirty rats were equally and randomly divided into control, KOA, RA, KOA+Moxi and RA+Moxi groups. The KOA model and RA model were induced by injection of sodium monoiodoacetate or Freund’s complete adjuvant into the rats’ knee joints, respectively. Rats of the KOA+Moxi and RA+Moxi groups received moxibustion stimulation at bilateral ST36 for 30 min, once a day for 21 days, beginning from the 7th day on after modeling. The contents of serum interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. Histopathological changes (Markin score of the knee cartilage and synovial pathology score) of the knee joints were observed after HE staining. The polarization state of M1 and M2 macrophages in the synovial tissue of the knee joints was assessed by detecting the expression of CD86 and CD206 after immunofluorescence staining.ResultsCompared with the control group, the content of serum IL-1β, synovial pathology score, and synovial CD86 expression were significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), while the content of serum IL-10 and synovial CD206 expression markedly decreased (P<0.01) in both KOA and RA groups; the Markin score was increased (P<0.01) in the KOA group. In comparison with the KOA group, the Markin score was obviously decreased (P<0.01), while the content of serum IL-10 and CD206 expression were apparently increased (P<0.01) in the KOA+Moxi group. No significant changes were found in the content of serum IL-1β, synovial pathology score and CD86 expression in the KOA+Moxi group relevant to the KOA group. In comparison with the RA group, the content of serum IL-1β, synovial pathology score, and CD86 expression were considerably decreased (P<0.01) in the RA+Moxi group. No marked differences were found in the serum IL-10 level, Markin score, and CD206 expression between RA+Moxi and RA model groups. The increased Markin score was significantly higher in the KOA group than in the RA group (P<0.01), but the increased synovial pathology score was significantly lower in the KOA group than in the RA group (P<0.01). Correspondingly, the effect of moxibustion at ST36 was significantly better in RA model than in KOA model in reducing serum IL-1β (P<0.05).ConclusionMoxibustion at ST36 can effectively reduce cartilage injury of knee joint in rats with KOA and reduce synovial injury in rats with RA, which may be related with its effects in lowering IL-1β level in RA model by inhibiting the polarization of M1 macrophages, and up-regulating level of IL-10 in KOA model by promoting the polarization of M2 macrophages. However, the relevant mechanism needs to be further studied.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at “Jiaji”(EX-B2) on body mass, motor function, expression of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) in nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosus tissue, telomerase activi-ty, relative telomere length and different cell cycle ratio of nucleus pulposus cells in rabbits with intervertebral disc degeneration(IVDD), so as to investigate its mechanism underlying delaying senescence of the degenerated lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus cells.MethodsTwenty-five male New Zealand rabbits with mature bones were divided into control, sham operation, model, EA, and acupuncture groups, with 5 rabbits in each group. The IVDD model was established by inserting kirschner wires to the vertebral bone surface between the lumbar (L)4 and L5 vertebrae, followed by applying continuous axial pressure for 28 d. EA (2 Hz/15 Hz, 1—2 mA) or acupuncture (only insertion of acupuncture needles into bilateral EX-B2, but without electrical stimulation) was applied to bilateral EX-B2 for 20 min, once daily, 6 times a week for 4 weeks. The hindlimb locomotor function (locomotor score) was assessed by using Faden’s and colleagues’ methods. The general conditions of rabbits in each group were observed, and their body weight changes were measured every week. Nucleus pulposus cells were isolated using enzyme digestion method. After the treatment, the Cav-1 positive cell counts in nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosus tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, and the telomerase activity of nucleus pulposus cells was detected by PCR-ELISA. The relative telomere length of nucleus pulposus cells was measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR), and the cell cycle of nucleus pulposus was detected by flow cytometry.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the body mass from 4 to 11 week, locomotor score at 4, 7 and 11 week, telomerase activity, relative telomere length and the proportion of cells in G2/M phase of nucleus pulposus cells were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while Cav-1 positive cell counts of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissue, and the proportion of nucleus pulposus cells in the G0/G1 phase considerably increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Relevant to the model group, the EA group rather than the acupuncture group had an increase in the body mass from 8 to 11 week, locomotor score at 11 week, telomerase activity, relative telomere length of nucleus pulposus cells, and the proportion of nucleus pulposus cells in G2/M phase (P<0.01), and a decrease in the Cav-1 positive cell counts of nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus tissue and the proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase (P<0.01). No significant differences were found between the model and acupuncture groups in all the indexes mentioned above.ConclusionEA at EX-B2 has a bene-ficial effect in improving motor function in rabbits with IVDD, which may be related to its functions in reducing the expression of Cav-1 in nucleus pulposus cells and annulus fibrosus, improving cycle arrest, enhancing the telomerase activity and the relative telomere length of nucleus pulposus cells, delaying the senescence of nucleus pulposus cells of the degenerated lumbar intervertebral discs.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on motor function, expression of extracellular cyclophile A(PPIA) and PPIA/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in spinal cord of amyotrophic la-teral sclerosis (ALS) mice,so as to explore the mechanism of EA intervention in regulating extracellular PPIA on neuroinflammation in ALS mice.MethodsThirty ALS-SOD1G93A mice with hSOD1-G93A gene were randomly divided into model, EA and Riluzole groups ,with 10 mice in each group, and other 10 ALS-SOD1G93A negative mice were used as the blank group. EA was applied to bilateral “Yanglingquan”(GB34) and “Zusanli”(ST36) for 20 min once daily, 5 days a week for 2 weeks. In the Riluzole group, riluzole solution (30 mg·kg-1·d-1) was administrated intragastrically, and the treatment time was the same as that in the EA group.Rotating rod experiment and open field experiment were used to evaluate the changes in motor function of mice .The morphology of motor neurons in the anterior horn of spinal cord was observed by HE staining.The relative protein expression levels of PPIA, TDP-43 and NF-κB in the spinal cord were detected by Western blot.The positive expression level of TDP-43 in the spinal cord was detected by immunohistochemistry. The positive expression level of PPIA in spinal cord was marked by immunofluorescence. Serum PPIA content was determined by ELISA.ResultsCompared with the blank group, the time of rod dropping and the total distance of open field movement in the model group were shortened (P<0.01), the number of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord was reduced, the cell morphology was incomplete, the cell body was atrophied, the protein expression and positive expression of TDP-43 were increased (P<0.01), the protein expressions of PPIA and NF-κB in the spinal cord were increased(P<0.01),the serum content of PPIA and immunofluorescence expression of PPIA in spinal cord were increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the time of rod dropping and the total distance of open field movement of mice in the EA group and the Riluzole group were prolonged (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the injury of motor neuron in the anterior horn of the spinal cord was decreased, the protein expression and positive expression of TDP-43 in the spinal cord were decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01); the relative expression levels of PPIA and NF-κB proteins were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the content of PPIA in serum and the immunofluorescence expression of PPIA in the spinal cord were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the EA group; the relative protein expression of NF-κB and fluorescence expression of PPIA in spinal cord of mice in the Riluzole group were decreased (P<0.05).ConclusionEA intervention can improve motor function in ALS mice, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PPIA/NF-κB signaling pathway by EA to alleviating neuroinflammatory response.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of manual acupuncture at “Shangjuxu”(ST37) on nerve growth factor(NGF)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/transient receptor potential vanilloid 1(TRPV1) signaling pathway in rats with chronic visceral hyperalgesia of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), so as to explore its underlying mechanism in treating IBS chronic visceral hyperalgesia.MethodsIBS chronic visceral hyperalgesia model was established by colorectal dilation stimulation for 2 weeks for SD pups at 8 d after birth, which were fed until 8-week age after the stimulation. Then the verified successfully modeled adult rats were randomly divided into model, Shangjuxu, and non-acupoint groups, with 6 rats in each group, and 6 unmodeled rats were selected as normal group. On the next day of model evaluation, rats in the Shangjuxu group received acupuncture at right ST37 while rats in the non-acupoint group received acupuncture at the non-meridian and non-acupoint point in the right hypochondrium, both for 15 min, with manual twisting of mild reinforcing and reducing performed for 30 s at an interval of 5 min, once a day, for a total of 7 d. Abdominal withdrawal reflex(AWR) score was used to evaluate the degree of chronic visceral pain in rats. Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR were used to detect the colonic protein and mRNA expressions of NGF, tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA), PI3K and TRPV1. The positive expressions of PI3K and TRPV1 proteins in the colon of rats were detected by immunohistochemistry method.ResultsCompared with the normal group, AWR scores corresponding to 4 pressure levels of 20, 40, 60 and 80 mm Hg, mRNA and protein expressions of NGF, TrkA, PI3K and TRPV1 in colon tissue, and positive expressions of PI3K and TRPV1 in colon tissue were significantly increased(P<0.05) in the model group. After intervention, compared with the model group, rats in the Shangjuxu group had reduced AWR scores corresponding to 4 pressure levels of 20, 40, 60 and 80 mm Hg, lower colonic mRNA and protein expressions of NGF, TrkA, PI3K and TRPV1, and decreased positive expressions of PI3K and TRPV1 in colon tissue(P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in the above indexes of the non-acupoint group.ConclusionManual acupuncture at ST37 can alleviate IBS chronic visceral hyperalgesia in rat and its analgesic effect may be related to regulating NGF/PI3K/TRPV1 signaling pathway.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture on the ocular surface symptoms and the protein expression of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) / cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA) / aquaporin 5(AQP5) signaling pathway in lacrimal gland tissue of aqueous tear deficiency (ATD) type dry eye model,so as to investigate its mechanism underlying improvement of ATD.MethodsBritish shorthair guinea pigs were randomly divided into blank control, model, acupuncture, sham-acupuncture and medication group,with 8 guinea pigs in each group. The ATD model was established by subcutaneous injection of scopolamine hydrobromide (0.6 mg/dose,4 times/d for 10 days). For guinea pigs of the acupuncture group, filiform needles were inserted into bilateral “Jingming”(BL1), “Cuanzhu”(BL2), “Sizhukong”(TE23), “Taiyang”(EX-HN5),and “Tongziliao”(GB1) for 15 min. For guinea pigs of the sham-acupuncture group, a blunt filiform needle was used to repeatedly prick (not pierce) the skin of the same acupoints mentioned above. The treatment in the above two groups was conducted once daily for 14 days. The guinea pigs in the medication group received administration of sodium hyaluronate eye drops in both eyes, three times a day for 14 days. The objective tests of tear film break-up time (BUT), corneal fluorescein staining score (FLS) and phenol red thread (PRT) test were conducted before and after modeling and after the intervention. After the intervention, the lacrimal index (weight of lacrimal gland/body weight) was calculated. Histopathological changes of the lacrimal gland were observed after H.E. staining. The expression of AQP5 in the lacrimal gland were detected by immunofluorescence, and the contents of VIP and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland were measured by ELISA, the protein expression levels of VIP, cAMP, PKA, p-PKA and AQP5 in the lacrimal gland were detected by Western blot.ResultsIn comparison with the blank control group, the PRT, BUT, lacrimal index, AQP5 immunoactivity, contents of VIP and AQP5, and protein expression levels of VIP, cAMP, PKA, p-PKA and AQP5 were significantly decreased(P<0.01,P<0.05), and FLS was obviously increased (P<0.01) in the model group . Compared to the model group, the PRT, BUT, lacrimal index, AQP5 immunoactivity, contents of VIP and AQP5, and expression levels of VIP and AQP5 in both acupuncture and medication groups, and the expression levels of cAMP, PKA, p-PKA in the acupuncture group were considerably increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), while the FLS was markedly decreased in both acupuncture and medication groups (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the medication group, the acupuncture group had increased PRT (P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture intervention is effective in reducing ocular surface damage and promoting tear secretion in guinea pigs with ATD, which may be related to its function in activating VIP/cAMP/PKA signaling, and promoting the expression of AQP5 in the lacrimal gland.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) at “Changbing Decoction” on alleviating ulcerative colitis (UC) and regulating the polarization of colonic macrophages in rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of UC.MethodsTwenty-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal group(6 rats), model group(8 rats), EA group(6 rats), and western medication group(6 rats). The rat model of UC was established by using 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution drinking water for 7 days, followed by drinking 1% DSS solution during treatment period. After 7-day model establishment, EA treatment(10 Hz/50 Hz, 20 min) was applied to “Zhongwan”(CV12), bilateral “Tianshu”(ST25) and “Shangjuxu”(ST37) for 3 d, and rats in the western medication group were given mesalazine suspension(200 mg/kg) by gavage for 3 d. The body weight, spleen weight and colon length of rats were measured. The disease activity index (DAI) score was evaluated. The morphological changes and inflammatory cell infiltration of colon were detected after HE staining and pathological scores were eva-luated. The contents of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-2 and IL-10 in serum were detected by ELISA. The protein expressions of M1 and M2 macrophage markers nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase 1(Arg1) were detected by fluorescence double staining and Western blot, respectively. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect iNOS and Arg1 mRNA expressions.ResultsCompared with the normal group, rats in the model group had increased pathological damage degree and inflammatory cell infiltration in the colon tissue, slowed-down body weight gain, decreased colon length, spleen weight, serum anti-inflammatory factors IL-2 and IL-10 contents, colonic Arg1/CD68 fluorescence positive expression, and Arg1 protein and mRNA expressions(P<0.01, P<0.05), as well as increased DAI scores, colon histopathological scores, contents of serum pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β, colonic iNOS/CD68 fluorescence positive expression, iNOS protein and mRNA expressions(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the above indicators were significantly improved in rats of the EA group and the western medication group(P<0.01, P<0.05).ConclusionEA of “Changbing Decoction” can improve UC of rats by regulating the polarization of colonic macrophages, inhibiting the generation of M1 macrophages and promoting the generation of M2 macrophages.

      摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at “Fengfu” (GV16), “Taichong” (LR3) and “Zusanli” (ST36) on α-synuclein (α-syn), Occludin, Claudin-1, thioredoxin interaction protein (TXNIP) and Nod-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) in Parkinson’s disease (PD) mice, so as to investigate the mechanisms of EA on intestinal barrier function and inflammation in PD mice.MethodsThirty six C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control, model and EA groups, with 12 mice in each group. PD mice model was induced by rotenone intragastric administration for 28 days. Mice in the EA group were treated with EA (2 Hz, 1 mA) at GV16, LR3 and ST36 for 30 min, once a day for 14 days. The behavioral scores were observed. The total distance of autonomic movement was measured by open field test. The expression level of α-syn in substantia nigra and colon tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. The colonic morphology and goblet cell distribution were observed by Alcian blue staining. The expression levels of Occludin, Claudin-1, TXNIP and NLRP3 mRNA in colon tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.ResultsCompared with the control group, the behavioral scores of rats were increased (P<0.01); the total distance of autonomous movement was decreased (P<0.01); the positive expression level of α-syn in the substantia nigra and colon was increased (P<0.01); the goblet cells and crypts in colon tissue were reduced, and the muscular layer was thinner; the expression levels of Occludin and Claudin-1 mRNAs in colon tissue were decreased (P<0.01) while TXNIP and NLRP3 mRNAs were increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the surface villi of colon tissue was more complete, the goblet cells and crypts were increased, and the muscular layer was thickened; the other indexes were reversed (P<0.01,P<0.05) in the EA group.ConclusionEA at GV16, LR3 and ST36 can reduce the abnormal accumulation of α-syn in the substania nigra and colon tissue of PD mice, alleviate the damage of intestinal barrier, regulate TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling pathway, so as to delay the occurrence and development of PD.

      摘要:Gastrointestinal dysfunction is manifested as digestive symptoms. Clinically, Zusanli (ST36) is crucial in the acupoint prescriptions of acupuncture no matter which type of the disease is differentiated in traditional Chinese medicine, but the underlying mechanism remains to be explored. Aiming to summarize the current status of the researches in terms of ameliorating gastrointestinal mucosal damage and regulating gastrointestinal motility disorders, we systematically reviewed the basic researches on the intervention with electroacupuncture (EA) at “ST36” in treatment of the diseases related to gastrointestinal dysfunction in the past 5 years, after searching the articles from Chinese and English databases. The results suggest that EA at ST36 may regulate the local gastrointestinal inflammation, oxidative stress and immune microenvironment to relieve gastrointestinal mucosal damage and adjust gastrointestinal motility disorders by means of modulating the central and peripheral nerve signaling as well as the function of mast cells and Cajal interstitial cells.

      摘要:Constipation may accelerate the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The quality of life in PD patients can be significantly improved when constipation is treated, hence the disease progression may be delayed. At present, the mechanism research is still at the initial stage for acupuncture in treatment of PD, focusing on neurohumoral factors, intestinal flora, bacterial fermentation products and intestinal inflammation; and there are the problems such as single intervention, thinking limitation and insufficient cooperation among disciplines. This paper systematically reviews the mechanism research progress of acupuncture for the treatment of constipation in PD so as to provide the references for the subsequent studies.

      摘要:Acupuncture and moxibustion therapies are widely used in the field of anti-inflammation, but the dynamic characteristics of inflammatory response with time in the modern biological mechanism research has been ignored to some extent. Therefore, the body surface intervention system represented by acupuncture-moxibustion urgently needs to rebuild the research perspective oriented to the complex immune regulation model, and then to explore the opportunity of acupuncture-moxibustion anti-inflammatory intervention according to the dynamic change process of inflammatory response. Through comparative analysis on the ancient and modern acupuncture-moxibustion immune regulation, and starting from the construction of clinical body surface intervention system, we propose that grasping the appropriate “intervention opportunity” is an important entry point that cannot be ignored to effectively “pry” inflammatory response.
