Effect of Some Drugs on Electroacupuncture Analgesia and Cytosolic Free Ca~(2+) Concentration of Mice Brain[J]. Acupuncture research, 1994, (1): 55-58.DOI:
the effects of some analgesic drugs such as corydalis yanhusuo
Angelica dahurica and Analginum on electroacupuncture analgesic function were studied. In the meantime
the concentrations of cytosolic free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) in mice hypothalamus (HT) and periaqueductual grey (PAG)were determined by use of the fluorescence dye Fura-2/AM and AR-CM cation measurement system.The results showed that Corydalis yanhusuo obviously strengthened the analgesic function produed by electroacupuncture. Besides
the [Ca2+]i in the two brain regions of mice in these analgesic experiments with electroacupuncture and Corydalis yanhusuo were all decreased (compared with saline control group
P<0. 01)
In the same experimental condition
the [Ca2+]i in Angelica dahurica group and Analginum group has no significant difference compared with the control group
the analgesic mechanisms may be different from that of electroacupuncture and Corydalis yanhusuo
