Effect of Granule Moxibustion on Mucosa Mast Cell Number of Spleen Deficiency Rats[J]. Acupuncture research, 2000, (1): 31-33. DOI: 10.13702/j.1000-0607.2000.01.007.
SD rats were made to be spleen deficiency with diarrhia.The animals were divided into three groups
moxibustion group treated with granule moxibustion on “Pishu”
“Weishu” and “Zusanli” points
once a day
three cones per point
for 15 days;decoction group treated with decoction;and control group without treatment.After treatment the number of mucosa mast cells (MMC) of the rats in moxibustion group was significantly increased than that in control group (P<0 001) and decoction group (P<0 05). The results suggest that moxibustion may regulate the immune function and resistant inflammation reaction.
