其治疗作用可能是通过拮抗活性氧过氧化损伤来实现的。Objective: To explore the protective effect of electroacupuncture(EA) of "Xiusanzhen"(嗅三针) on mitochondria of cortical neurons in acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion(CI/R) rats.Methods: A total of 30 cases of SD rats were divided into control
model and EA groups.CI/R model was established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and reperfusion.EA(80-100 Hz
1-3 mA) was applied to "Xiusanzhen"(the median line of the nose root
2 mm to the lateral median line on the bilateral sides) for 60 min.Content of serum reduced glutathione(GSH) and glutathion peroxidase(GSH-Px) activity were detected by using Tietze's reducase assay and dithio-bis-nitrobenzoic acid(DTNB) direct method respectively.The surface density(Sv)
numerical density(Nv) and perimeter/area(Pv) of the mitochondria of the cerebral neurons were detected using stereological technique and electronic microscope.Results: Compared with control group
Sv and Pv of model group increased significantly(P<0.05)
while serum GSH content and GSH-Px activity of model group decreased considerably(P<0.05).While in comparison with model group
Sv and Pv of EA group lowered obviously(P<0.05)
and GSH and GSH-Px both increased pronouncedly(P<0.05).No significant difference was found among 3 groups in Nv(P>0.05).Conclusion: EA of "Xiusanzhen" has a definite protective effect on mitochondria of cortical neurons in acute focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats
