Prehypertension is an independent risk factor for end stage of heart
brain and renal diseases.The immune inflammatory imbalance promotes the occurrence of damage of target organs in the pre-hypertension stage.This article focuses on the relationship between the immune-inflammation and prehypertension and its target organ damage.It was found that acupuncture treatment can lower blood pressure
postpone the development of prehypertension
improve vascular endothelia function and immune function
down-regulate the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines
and reduce inflammatory reactions of the heart and kidney
possible by way of regulating cellular signal pathways as TLR 4/NF-κB
p 38/MAPK
CaM-eNOS-NO
TGF-β1/Smads
etc.and playing aprotective effect on the target organs.However
its detailed mechanisms remain largely unknown up to now.
