Focal cerebral ischemia model by blocking mice's middle cerebral artery was selected in this re search

and focal cerebral blood flow (rCBF)

cerebral fluid content

SOD and MDA were made as in dexes. Then the influences of electric acupuncture on every ischemia region were observed as follows: atter blocking mice's middle cerebral artery for 6o minutes

in ischemia region rCBF dropped marked ly

cerebral fluid content went up markedly

the activity of SOD dropped markedly and MAD content rose markedly; after electric acupuncture for 1O minutes

in ischemia region

rCBF rose significantly

cerebral fluid content dropped markedly

the activity of SOD went up markedly and MAD content dropped markedly. It implied electric acupuncture

cou1d raise rCBF

improve cerebraI fluid content

enhance the activity of SOD and drop MAD content

so it can protect the cerebral from secondly injury after ischemia
