摘要:In the present investigation, we observed whether the C-fiber input insaphenous nerve could project to the cerebellar cortex and elicit a characteri-stic evoked potential and the effect of the morphine and Naloxone on thepotential.
摘要:In Ihe present investigation, the cerebellar cortical average evoked poten-tial (C-CEP) elicited by C-fiber input was regarded as an index of the responseto slow pain, the effects of EA at "zusanli" point on C-CEP were observed. 1. Effect of EA at "zusanli" point on the cerebellar C-CEP Experimeets were performed on cats under chloralose anaesthesia andimmobilized by Flaxedil. The amplitude of C-CEP was inhibited obviouslyafter EA at the strength of 10V, the duration of 0.2ms, and frequency of5Hz at the ipsilateral "zusanli" point. At 1, 5, 10 and 25 minutes after EA,the amplitude of C-CEP was 63.2±18.1% of that before EA (P<0.05, n=6), 101.2±24.8% (P>0.05), 88.9±27.1% (P>0.05) and 97.4±10.0% (P>0.05) respectively, but the amplitude of AC-CEP had no significant change.
摘要:It has already been proved by clinical practice that some pain syndromstreated with acupuncture could be relieved. There were only a few reports onthe involvement of the cerebral cortex in descending modulation of acupunctureanalgesia(AA), although the mechanisms of AA have been elucidated to someextent recently.
摘要:In this study we investigated that whether the corticofugal modulation fromSH is involved in the acupuncture effects on PAG. It was carried out on 32restrained adult cats. The unit activities of PAG were recorded by glass microelectrodes. Elect-rical stimulation on the right superficial peroneal nerve was taken as thenoxious stimulation. The results showed that electroacupuncture (EA) atHuantiao (G 30) and Yanglingquan (G 34) points could inhibited the nocice-ptive responses of PAG neurons, i.e, the changes of the firing rates inducedby the noxious stimulation were lessened 0-12.5 minusts after ceasing EA(n=15, P<0.01). When a piece of filter paper damped with 0.5M GABA was
摘要:In this artical the effect of stimulating PAG on C-CEP was observed in order to provide some data for the research of slow pain modulation. Experiments were performed on cats under choloralose anaesthesis andimmobitized by gallamine triethiodide. After blocking A-fibers input by anodalcurrent the superficial peroneal nerve was stimulated with strong electricalpulse, and the C-fiber input was elicited selectively. The evoked potentialswere recorded on the back surface of ipsilateral spinal cord (C-SSP) andcontralateral cerebral somatosensory area (C-CEP). PAG was stimulated withshort electrial pulse.
摘要:Experiments were performed on cats under the treatments of chloraloseand flexedil. The cortical evoked potentials (C-CEP) recorded in primarysomatosensory cortex(SI), which were elicited by C-fiber inputs of sapheneousnerve, were used as an index of slow pain. The effect of electro-acupuncture(EA) of "Zusanli" point on C-CEP and role of cerebral anterior laterialassociation area(ALA) in this effect were observed.

摘要:Previously we found that L-tetrahydropalmatine (L-THP) could enhancethe inhibitory effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the defense behaviourresponse to the noxious stimulation of the rabbit's ear skin by potassium ionto-phoretic dolorimetry. In this paper, the effects of L-THP and EA on evokedcortical potentials to stimulation of tooth pulp were observed to study thesynergism botween L-THP and EA analgesia at sense level.
摘要:The non-time-lock response(N-TLR) is regarded as an index of response topain and acupuncture in most study on unit discharge at present; the timelockresponse(TLR) is regarded as an index as well, but the meanings of NTLR andTLR are somewhat different. In the present study, the N-TLR and TLE of73 unit discharges in somatosensory cortex evoked by nociceptive stimulationof peripheral nerve (superfical peroneal or splanchnic nerve) (P-ED) wereanalysed quantitatively with micro-computer using the method of stochasticpoint process for signal analysis and compared each other. N-TLR was shownby interspike interval mean function (ISIMF); TLR was shown by normalizedcrosscovariance function (NCCVF) reflecting the relationship between stimula-tion and response.
摘要:Experiments were performed on cats under chloralose and flaxedil. Evokedunit discharges recorded in contralateral somato-sensory cortex to noxiousstimulating superficial peroneal nerve (P-ED) were analysed quantitativelywith micro-computer using the method of stochastic point process for signalanalysis in order to study the effects of electro-acupuncture(EA)and morphineon non-time-lock response(N-TLR) and time-lock response (TLR) of nociceptiveunit discharges. N-TLR was shown by interspike interval mean function(ISIMF).TLR was shown by normalized cross-covariance function (NCCVF) reflectingthe relationship between stimulation and response. The results were testedstatistically.
摘要:In recent years I am interested in the role of nucleus raphe magnes (NRM)in acupuncture analgesia, NRM is the one of origins of important descendinginhibitory systems inclueded in the intrinsic anatgesic systems in brain, and wegave more systematic study on the question. The primary results are asfollows: 1. Experiments were perfored on male rats, unit discharges of NRMwere recorded extracellularly with glass electrode. The neurons responed tonoxious stimulation were chosen to observe analgesia of EA. The spontaneousfiring rates of NRM neurons were about 0.5-20Hz, a few of them over 20Hzor have no any discharges. NRM neurons have not often responses to non-noxious stimulation(to brush hair) or only have a light responses and adapt-ation appeared fast. But responses of them to noxious stimulation (to clampor to prick skin) or electrostimulation (20V) were obviously displayed with
摘要:Rats (200-350g) were used in this experiment. The unit discharges of NRMneurons were extracellularly recorded with glass microelectrode. The bilateralSII was stimulated by fixed electrodes. EA of "Zusanli"was applied for 5 mi-nutes. Electrostimulation of tail was used as a noxious stimulus. The expe-riment was divided into two groups, one is stimulation of SII and another EAof "Zusanli", both were performed at the same NRM neurons. It was foundthat stimulation of SII could activate the excitatory neurons in NRM (n=10),significantly increasing their spontaneous discharges and decreasing their nocice-ptive responses in 0-20 minutes (P<0.05-0.001). Similar results were observedin the group of EA. After EA, increase of their spontaneous discharges in 0-10minutes and at 20th minute, and decrease of their nociceptive responses in 0-25minutes were statistically significant (P<0.05-0.001).
摘要:The purpose of the work was to study whether SM was involved in the descending inhibitory effects of NRM on nociceptive response. The cxperiments were carried out on rats. Results were as follows: 1. The influence of single and short train stimulating SM or motor areal(MI) on 55 neurons of NRM were observed. Of 55 neurons, 29 units showedthe excitatory response to noxious stimulation, 12 units the inhibitory respon-se and 14 units without obvious changes. During stimulation of SM with sin-gle and short train pulse for 55 neurons or MI for 10 neurons, a few unitswere activated (10/55 or 2/10), only one unit 'were inhibited, most of themshowed no obvious changes.
摘要:This work was to study effect of electroacupuncture(EA) of "Zusanli" onneurons of NRM after lesion of SII. Rats(200-350g) were used in the experiment. The unit discharges of NRMneurons were extrocellularly recorded with glass microelectrode. The excitatory neurons of NRM were chosen and divided into two groups,one of them(n=10) was control before lesion of bilateral SII and another (n=17) after lesion, three neurons of this group were also observed in the formergroup.
摘要:Experiments were performed on rats, Unit discharges of NRM were reco- rded extracellularly with glass microelectrods, and their nociceptive responseswere induced by train electro-stimulation of tail. The effects of EA of bila-teral "Zusanli" points for 5 minutes were recorded, and the EA effects beforeand after lesion of SM cortices were compared. Results were as follows: 1. Before lesion of SM, the effects of EA on 31 noxious excitatory nocice-ptive units in NRM(including 2 raphe-spinal neurons) were recorded. EA hada tendency to activate the neurons and increase firing rate in 0-25 minutes,but obviously inhibited nociceptive responses of the neurons (P<0.01) in 0-30minutes.

The experiments were performed on male rats anesthetized with urethane.Unit discharges of NRM neurons were recorded extracellularly with a glassmicroelectrode and their nociceptive responses induced by stimulation throughelectrode inserted into dental pulp of inferior incisor teeth er in one thirdof tail tip respectively.
摘要:Nucleus Raphe Magnus (NRM) is one of importent position in Acupunctureanalgesia. During the past few years the sites of origin of afferent fibersprojection to NRM were studied. In order to demonstrat some neurotransmittersin fibers projection to NRM, we utilized the combination of HRP with immuno-histochemical technique. Experiments were performed on 17 adult rats. HRPwere injected into NRM. After 24h, the animals were treated with colchicineinjected intraventricularly. The animals were perfused 24h following the co-chicine inj tion. Sections were cut on a freezing microtome add processedwith TMB-DAB-CoCl_2 method, then 5-HT, SP, M-ENK, L-ENK, β-EP andSRIF-labeled cells were demostrated with PAP method.

The animals wereallowed to survive for 48-72h, and then fo perfuse the fixative passing theaortac. Spinal cord was blocked in seven segments: upper cervical, cervicalenlargement, upper thoracic, medial thoracic, lower thoracic, lumbar enlarge-
摘要:In order to further analyse the role of descending inhibitory pathway fromdorsal rophe nucleus (DR) in pain modulation and acupuncture, the unit dis-charge of spinal dorsal horn neurons was recorded at L_3 level in immobilizedrats and the responses of dorsal horn neurons to nociceptive stimulus as wellas the influence of DR stimulation were observed with electrophysiologicalmethods combined with pharmacological analyses. The results were as follows: 1. The nociceptive unit discharge rate was increased as stimulation inten-sity of sciatic nerve. Among the 55 units, 24 were pain specific units and31 units which were wide dynamic range neurons.
摘要:It has been proved that the hippocampal formation is closely related tosome behaviour reactions (such as learning and memory), visceraI activities,and neuro-endocrine regulations. However, what roles the hippocampus mayplay in pain modulation and analgesic mechanism still need further studies.So we have done some works in this field. The blood pressure increased accompanying hippocampal EEG's slowrhythmic activity (SRA or theta rhythm) which had a higher amplitude and alonger time course. This EEG wave was specific and could be used as one ofindexes of nociceptive response. Our experiments also demonstrated that theblood pressure increase could be induced by peripheral somatic noxious stimu-
摘要:In this study an attempt was made to observe the effects of iontophoreticapplication of 5-HT and methysergide on the nociceptive units. CA1 area ofhippocampus (HPC). Experiments were performed on 50 rats anaesthetizedwith choralose and urethane. The animals were immobilized with d-tubocura-rine. Stimulation of the sephenous nerve with a train of electric pulses wasused as a noxious stimulus. Single units were recorded extracellularly by the6-barrelled micropipett with stereotaxic techenique.
摘要:In our present study we build up a new experimental model in the rat forepilepsy and examine the effects of electroacupuncture on epileptiform hippo-campal unit activity. Experiments were carried out on conscious immobilized male rats, CoriariaLactone at a concentration of 30μg/10μl in saline was injected intracerebrove-ntricularly. Electrocorticography (ECoG) and hippocampal unit activity wererecorded simultaneously on the side of brain which received the drug injection.In some cases, the hippocampal EEG was also recorded. Acupuncture of Da-zhui, Shenzhu, Taichong and Kunlun were stumulated respectively.
摘要:The caudate nucleus is rich in some opioid peptides and classical transmit-ters the role of which has been studied for recent several years. In chronicrabbits, it was found that electroacupuncture (EA) could increase pain thres-hold and the release of opiate like substance from the caudate; the effect ofEA was readily reversed by naloxone microinjected into the caudate. Acuteexperiments revealed that EA, like microiontophoretic etorphine, producedstrong, naloxone reversible inhibition on some caudate neurons. Immunohisto-chemical study showed leu-enkephalin like immunoreactivity in the perikaryaand neuronal process of the rat caudate. The result was in accordance with
摘要:Recent studies have provided substantial evidence indicating the participa-tion of the caudate nucleus in acupuncture analgesia partly via endogenousopioid peptides, The present work investigated caudate stimulation produced inhibition on neciceptive response of the parafascicular nucleus and the possibleinvolvement of opioid peptides in the inhibition.
摘要:By the method of repeated noxious stimuli to sciatic nerve we studied theelectrical activities of pain excitation neurons, that is, during the dischargesevoked by the former noxious stimulation (S_1) the latter noxious stimulation(S_2) was given in order to observe the responses to S_2. Two types of respon-ses to S_2 were found in the caudate-putamen nucleus (CPU): (1) S_2 incre-
摘要:In this experiment, the relationships between Dopamine (DA) and painsensation were studied with the method of the neuronic dischargs induced bythe glass microelectrode in caudate nucleus of 38 rats. The resultes of thepresent experiment showed that the electric activity of PEN could selectivelybe excited by intraventricular injection of DA, while that of PIN inhibited.The same phenomenon was found in the neurons which were recorded inpairs in N. Cd., and the activities of PEN and PIN were well cooperated. Theeffects of DA could be blocked by intra-abdominal injection of droperidol.
摘要:The present experiment aims to verify the influence of intracaudate midro-injections of dopamine (DA) and electric stimulation of the pars compacta ofsubstantia nigra (SNC) on the evoked discharges in pain-excitation neurons(PEN) and pain-inhibition neurons (PIN) in the ipsilateral caudate nucli ofthe rat. The result showed that DA injection and SNC stimulation couldincrease the frequency of the evoked discharges in PEN and lengthen the dur-
摘要:38 rabbits were used in this Experiment 116 of the nociceptive units responded to noxious stimuli which were applied to the peroneal ne ve with ashort train of pulses. Among them, 64 units (60%) responded by an increasein frequency of the discharge to noxious stimuli (pain-excition neuron, PEN).In contrast, there were 52 units (40%), which responded to noxious stimuliquite differently, by having a decrease in the frequency of the discharge (pain-inhibition neuron, PIN). Similar results were obtained by the stimulation of
摘要:It has been reported that in the preoptic area endogenous opioid peptidescould inhibit the noradrenaline release in vivo and in vitro. In the presentstudy, receptor autoradiography on the rabbits' brain slices was used to inve-stigate the distribution of 3H-etorphine binding sites before and after thedestruction of noradrenaline neurons in n. subcoerulcns and ascending catecho-lamine (CA) axons by 6-hydroxydopamine. The results provide us with mor-phological evidence that 3H-etorphine binding sites before and after thedestruction of noradrenaline neurons in n. subcoerulcns and ascending catecho-lamine (CA) axons by 6-hydroxydopamine. The results provide us with mor-phological evidence that 3H-etorphine binding sites in the preoptic area,

It was shown that the analgsie effect ofacupuncture was significantly enhanced in the 6-hydroxydopamine group onthe second and fourth day after injection as compared with those before inje-
摘要:The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of stimulation of medialpreoptic area (MPO) on the discharge of coeruleus (LC) cells and its relationwith EA. The main results are as follows: 1. In 42 LC neurons analysed, 29 (69. 0%) were excited by EA, 5(11. 9%)inhibited and 8(19. 1%) unaffected. 2. Of these, 16(38. 1%) were excited by stimulation of MPO, locateddorsal LC and subcoeruleus; 22 (52. 4%) inhibited located ventral LC mainly, 4unaffected.
摘要:It has been demonstrated that the following three neuronal systems playan important role in different kinds of analgesia, i. e., β-endorphinergic(B-END) system in hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), serotonergic (5-HT)system in dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) and noradrenergic(NE) system in locuseoeruleus (LC). Morphological studies have revealed that there are reciprocalnervous innervations among these three nuclei. In the last decade, the role and theinterrelationship of ARC, DR and LC in acupuncture analgesia (AA) (Acu-points: "Renzhong" and "Chenjiang" or "Zusanli" and "Sanyinjiao") werestudied on rats in our laboratory, mainly with behavioral pain test andelectrophysiological technique combined with neurochemieal, fluorescent histo-chemical, immunocytochemieal and neurophrmaeological methods.
摘要:It was found that the analgesic effect of morphine administered to peri- aqueductal grcy(PAG) of the rabbit was significantly attenuated by β-EP IgGinjected into the nucleus accumbens. This antagonistic effect was totallyabolished by lesioning of the ARH. However, lesioning of ARH showed nosignificant influence on the analgesia produced by intra-PAG-administeredmorphine, nor did it abolish the reversal of morphine analgesia by naloxoneadministered to nucleus accumbens.
摘要:Pain threshold of rat was determined by the latent period of tail flickelicited by radient heat. On electrical stimulation of the lateral area ofhypothalamus(LHA) with 4 Hz, 10Hz and 70Hz stimuli, the pain thresholdraised 35. 1%, 61. 3% and 58. 3% respectively. The duration of raised painthreshold was longest after 10Hz stimuli (+32% and +21. 2%, 5 and 10 minafter ceassation of stimulation). The analgesic action of LHA stimulationwas deaereased markedly after ip cyproheptadine.
摘要:1. The microinjection of NE into the ventromedial area of hypothala-taus had a much stronger potentiatioa effect on AA which Tasted for 24hours. It was mediated by α-adrenoreceptor, this potentiating effedt is morespecific in the ventromedial area of hypothalamus than in other neighboringnuclsui, 2. When the DA was microinjected into the ventromedial area ofhypothalamus, the potentiating effect was slight and lasted shorter in compa-risn with the NE. The 5-HT in the hypothalamus was not possible to pariti-
摘要:The habenular nucleus is a relay in the descending pathway from the fore-brain limbic system to the brainstem. It's activity is inhibited by the influ-ences from the related structures of limbic forebrain which is activited byacupuncture. Then, the analgesic effect is produced. What is the neurotran-smitter mediated the relation between them, the experiment is carried out toanswer this question. The unit spontaneous firings from habenular nucleusare recorded with the central tube of multielectrode (3—5 Barrels). Duringthe interval of firing rate decreased by electrical stimulation of septal area,
摘要:The aim of this experiment was to clarify if the entopeduncular nucleuscan modulate the pain threshold through habenular nucleus mediated the actionbetween nuclei entopeduncular and habenular. L-glutamic acid (excitatory acid thai can excite the neuron body ratherthan passed fibers), bicuculline (a GABA receptor antagonist), lidocaine andGABA were injected into entopeduncular and habenular nuclei respectivelythrough the implanted cannula. Pain threshold was measured by the latencyof avoidance response (tail-flick) elicited by radiant heat applied to the tailskin of animals before and after intracerebral injection. In some cases single-unit activity in the habenular nucleus was recorded when the entopeduncularnucleus was electrically stimulated.
摘要:In general, it is believed that the red nucleus (RN) was related in controlof somatic movement and muscle tonus. Recently there have been few reportson its modulation of sensory function. The present study manifests the ana-lgesic effect of RN and the relationship between RN and acupuncture analgesia. The pain modulation function of RN was researched with tail flick reflexof rats as the standard of the pain threshold. The pain threshold of tailflick reflex was raised significantly by bilateral microinjection of L-glutamate

摘要:The present studies indicated.that the pain-discharges of some of neuronsshowed responses of increasing frequency were stopped temporarily for a period of time by noxious stimulation administrated again and repeatedly basedon the pain-discharges, and then the discharges appeared onee more. Thesepart of neurons were named pain inhibition-excitation neurons (PI-EN). Thepurporse of this experiment was to prove the existenee of PI-EN in Pf andobserved the charaeteristies of eleetriel activities of PI-EN, 42 PI-EN in Pfwere recorded.
摘要:The influence of intraventricular injection of GABA on electrical activi-ties of PEN ann PIN in nucleus parafascicularis of the thalamus of rats wasstudied. The results showed that GABA could significantly inhibit the elect-rical discharges of PEN and increase the electrical discharges of PIN. So itwas believed that intraventricularly injected GAGA could antagonize or partlyantagonize the excitatory action of noxious stimuli and might thus produceanalgesia.

摘要:The electric activities of pain excitation neurons (PEN) and pain inhibi-tion neurons (PIN) in nucleus parafascicularis (N. Pf) of thalamus in 42 ratswere recored with microelectrodes by GABA intrathecally (i. th) injected andcompared with GABA intraventrieularly (i. c. v) injected. The results showed: that i. th injection of GABA (250/μg/5μl), the freque-ncy of the evoked discharges of PEN was increased and the latency shortened.The frequency of the evoked discharges of PIN was decreased and the inhibitoryduration prolonged. Whereas by i. c. v injection of GABA (200μg/20μ1), thefrequency of the evoked discharges of PEN was decreased and the latency
摘要:The effects stimulation of caudate nucleus (Cd) of rats on nociceptivedischarges of somato-visceral converge neurons of the parafascicular nucleusof thalamus (PfSV) were studied, 1. When stimulation of Cd, the mean rate of nociceptive discharges of19 PfSV neurons was reduced by 7. 61+0. 85Hz(P<0. 01) and the duration offiring was shortened by 1. 38+0. 40sec. (P<0. 01) compared with that ofcontrol.
摘要:The role of PAG in the acupuncture analgesia 1. After noxious stimulation of splanchnic nerve or tail, the majority ofunits responded with increased frequency, some of units showed decreased fre-quency and the remainder had no response to both of noxious stimulation. Itseems to imply that PAG is one of the brain structures which receive somati-co-visceral pain impulses.
摘要:It is well known that the transmission of nociceptive signals at the spinalcord is modulated by the descending inputs from a number of medullary nuclei.In the present study, comparison of inhibitory actions of the nucleus raphemagnus (NRM) and the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) on the nociceptive ne-uronal responses in the spinal cord has been made, and the effective pathwayand possible neurotransmitters involved in the inhibitory effect produced byNTS stimulation has also been investigated.
摘要:A series of experiments were carried out on the spinal rats (including therats with the spinal cord hemi-transected dorsally) for investigating the spinalmechanism of acupuncture analgesia. The results are as follows: 1. In various spinal animals, needling certain acupoints may obtain signi-ficant analgesic effects. One or seven days after transection, the acupuncture-induced analgesic effect expressed with the tail flick latency was 39. 0% or62. 3% of that obtained in the intact rats. It suggests that the spinal segme-ntal inhibition migkt play an important role in AA.
摘要:It is argumentation that which fiber of periphral nerve is related to acu-puncture analgesia. The issue was studied by capsaicin to block the transmi-ssion of C-fiber of periphral nerve. The discharges of dorsal horn neurons to electrical stimulation of suralnerve were recorded by microelectrode in rats. The late discharges of dorsalhorn neurons was as a noxious response to strong stimulation (a train of 3 pu-lses, 25v intensity, 1ms duration.). Contralateral "Zusali" and "Sanyinjiao"points were stimulated electrically. The rats were anaesthetized with urethane(1. 2g/kg. i. p.) and immobilized with gellamine i. p.. The trachea was cannula-ted, artificial respiration was carried out.
摘要:Anatomical and physiological studies on acupuncture analgesia indicatedthat the ascending pathway were passing through the new and old spinothala- mic route clearly, Yet what structures for the descenatng inhibition down tothe spinal cord are important for the mechanism of the acupuncture therapyneeds to be clarified. In the present work we studied the afferent fiber connections of the cervi-cal and lumbosacral segment of the spinal cord with horseradish peroxidase(HRP) injection in the rat. the results were as follows:
摘要:This experimental study was carried out on 3 groups: normal subjeetLaser at point of left "Neiguan" and electro-acupunetue at point of left "Neiguan". SEPS were recorded in 85 healthy volunteers. The average age is 24 yearsold. The cases were compared with the same individual. SFPS were recorded by using evoked responses recorder "Neuropaek Ⅱ".SEPS evoked by stimulation of the median nerve at the right wrist and reco-rded it on left hemispheres. The acting of laser or electro-acupuncture wereapplied to point of left "Neiguan" about 30 minutes.

No significant difference was found between the two sides of all thestructures observed in the control and pain groups. In the EA group, theLCMRG of the right dorsal horn of the spinal cord in the lumbar enlargementwas higher (35. 8%) than that of the left (operational side) one, and the
摘要:The effects of original and clectroacupuncture (OA, EA) upon hypothalamo pituitarysystem was made for providing the theoratical basis in further wideapplication of acupuncture treatment. 246 healthy, adult and male rats were selected in this experiments. Itwas divided into OA, EA and control at random. The painthreshold were me-asured 30 minutes after both kinds of acupuncture, they were elevated signifi-cantly than that of the control.
摘要:The effect of intraventricular injection (ICV) of oxytocin (OT) and anti-OT serum (AoTs) on the basal pain threshold and electro-acupuncture analge-sia in rats was investigated in this study. Using the potassium iontophoresistail-flick for measuring pain. The increase of 20. 0-37. 6% in the basal painthreshold was observed within 60 mia after OT injection (50 ng), and it wasmuch more effective than that of the saline injection (P<0. 01 or 0. 001). Theincrease of 138. 7-233. 7% was produced by electro-acupuncture (EA) within 60rain after 50 ng OT administration (P<0. 05 or 0. 01 compared with saline EA).
摘要:It was reported that arginine-vasopressin (AVP) could enhance the basalpain threshold and acupuncture analgesia. In this experiment, taking potassiumionotophoresis tail-flick for measuring pain, the effects of intraventricularinjection (ICV) of AVP and anti-AVP serum(AVPS) on the electro-acupuncture(EA) analgesia were observed, and the content of AVP in brain was measuredby radioimmunoassay (RIA).
摘要:The present experiment attempts to searching the mechanism that PVHeffects on EA analgesia by using of lesioning, simulation of PVH, radioimmu-noassay of neuropeptides combining with the potassium iontophoresis tail-flickfor measuring pain. 1. Lesions of PVH could reduce the basal pain threshold, depress EAanalgesia and make the analgesia maintaining time shorter. 2. Electrical stimulation of PVH could elevate basal pain threshold andEA analgesia more intensive. These effects were dose-related. Similar toelectrical stimulation, injection of 1μl L-sodium glutamite into PVH could alsoelavate the basal pain thrhseold, supress the effect of electro-acupuncture andthese results had a relationship between dose and effect.

摘要:Experiments were carriad out on 8 cats. Using conventional intracellulartechniques, intracellular potentials of the cells located in representation ofthe greater splanchnic nerce (SPN) were recorded. The results obtained showed that resting potentials (RP) and action potent-ials (AP) of the cells were 40—60mV and 20—45mV(overshoot of the AP)respectively. RP of the gila were a bit higher than the neurons, namely 60—80mV. AP was'nt able to induce in the glia.
摘要:The effects of stimulating PAG on the nociceptive neuron discharges of POnucleus evoked by stimulating the splanchnie nerve in cat were studied. Twokinds of inhibitory action were observed. One is called early phase or promptinhibition phase which occurs promptly within 30ms to 150ms after stimulationof PAG. The other is called slow-phase or sustained inhibition which occurs
摘要:The experiments were carried out in 14 cats. The unit discharges evokedba strong electrical stimulation of the great splanchnic afferent nerve fiberswere recorded at 42 units of the posterior nucleus group of the thalamus (PO).A short train of electrical stimulation of the substantia nigra (SN) couldinhibit the evoked discharges by splanchnic afferents at 40 units of PO. TheSN-induced inhibitory effects presented patterns: "instant inhibition", whichappeared as soon as stimulation of SN ended and lasted less than 450ms or845ms, and "long time lasting inhibition", which appeared as soon as stimula-tion of SN ended and lasted for 1--17 minutes. Moreover, evoked discharges

摘要:The microelectrodes were made of tungsten wire with a diameter of 196μm.After the tips of microelectrodes were etched and insulated by FS-46. The uninsulated part of the tip was less that 40μm in length; the tip diameter was1--4μm and its impedance tested ranged from 100KΩ. to 500 KΩ. The tip ofreference electrode was little bigger than that of recording electrode, and itsuncoated tip length was 1--2mm.
摘要:This paper is a summary of a series of researches carried out in this laboratory since 1979 on the afferent fibers responsible for the acupunctureanalgcsia. 1. The analgesic effects produced by activation of different groups ofafferent fibers during electro-acupuncture were observed in the rabbit. Thejaw-opening reflex induced by noxious electric stimulation to the proximalperoneal nerve was used as a pain response. The distal portion of the samenerve was stimulated electrically with repeated pulses (5Hz) to simulate electro-acupuncture of the points. The results indicated that the smaller the fibers
摘要:The purpose of our experiments is to show the convergent patterns ofinputs from skin and muscle onto the dorsal horn ceils of rat and the effectsof stimulating musclar nerve onto the responses of WDR (wide dynamic range)ncurones.
摘要:A lot of work had been done to explore the mechanism of acupuncture anal-gesia (AA), but there have been some important questions to be dclarified. Forcxample, what kind of afferent fiber plays an important role in AA? In orderto solve this question, we applied capsaicin topically on sciatic nerve and usedthe techniques of extracellular recording and nerve trunk recording.
摘要:Male rabbits of 2. 0-2. 6kg were used. Nociception was assessed by measuringthe latency of the escape response (ERL) elicited by strong radiant heat focu-sed on the skin of the nostrils or on the tail. Electroacupuncture (EA) wasapplied via needles inserted into the, acupoint "Zusanli" and "Quenlun". A 50%increase in ERL at the end of 10 rain EA stimulation was considered as positiveresponse in EA analgesia. The effectivenese of EA analgesia was determinedusing EA of different frequencies, ranging from 2, 2--15, 15, 30, up to 60 and100Hz, with the intensify of EA being fixed at 2 volts (2. 24±0. 11 mA).
摘要:The effects of different frequency electroacupuncture (EA) tolerance onthe analgesia of delta and kappa agonists were studied on rats. The presentresults show: (1) There was no cross tolerance between 2Hz and 100Hz EA.In 2Hz EA tolerant animals the analgesic effect of 100Hz EA still existed andvice versa. (2) In 100Hz EA tolerance rats the analgesia of introthecal (ith)dynorphin A (1-13), a kappa agonist, reduced significantly while that of ith[D-pen2, D-pen2, D-pen5] enkephalin (DPDPE), a delta agonist, remained unchanged.
摘要:Previous findings in our laboratory suggest that angiotensin Ⅱ (AⅡ) in thebrain is a powerful antagonist to the analgesic effect elicited by morphine andelectroacupuncture (EA) and plays an important role in the development ofEA and morphine-toterance. While the content of AⅡ-ir in the brain increaseddramatically in the rats subjected to repeated administration of EA or morphine,it was interesting to see whether the expression of angiotensinogen gene wasalso accelerated to cope with the increase in release. The samples of total RNAextracted from the brains of the rats were blotted to the Gene Screen membraneand hybridized with the synthetic (32)P end-labeled oligonucleotide DNA probe,
摘要:Male rabbits of 2. 0-2. 6kg was used. Nociception was assessed by measur- ing the latency of the escape response (ERL) elicited by strong radiant heatfocused on the skin of the nostrils. Eleetroacupuncture (EA) stimulation wasapplied via acupuncture needles inserted into the acupoint Zusanli and Qunlun,located near the knee joint and ankle joint respectively. The analgesic effectof EA (2-15Hz, 2V, 20min) could be blocked by injecting angiotensin Ⅱ (AⅡ)
摘要:The purpose of this study was to examine the involvement of brain angio-tensin Ⅱ (AⅡ) in the development of tolerance to electroacupuncture (EA)analgesia in rats. Antibodies against AⅡ (AⅡ IgG), or saralasin (antagonistof AⅡ) were administered intracercbroventricularly (icv) to prevent the endo-genously released AⅡ fram activating AⅡ receptors, and the dynamic courseof the development of electroacupuncture tolerance was monitored. EA tolerancewas induced by 6 successive sessions of EA stimulation (2-15Hz, 3v, 30min,
摘要:We have reported that intracerebroventricular (i. c. v.) injection of 1-4 ngof CCK-8 to the rat produced a remarkable antagonistic effect on morphineanalgesia. In order to study the species specificity and the site of action.CCK-8 was microadministered to the PAG of the rabbit, and its influence onmorphine analgesia and electroacupuncture analgesia was observed.
摘要:The present study deals primarily with the antagonistic effect of Naloxone(NX) against mutual potentiation of morphine (Mor), mek-enkephalin (MEK)and dyno phin (Dyn) in their analgesic effects. (1) The rats were divided into 4 groups, ie. NS, NX 0. 02, 0. 1 and 0. 5mg/kggroups. A mixture of Dyn 2. 5noml and Mot 7. 5noml was injected in thebeginning via intrathecal cannulae into each rat.

After thateach grcup was injected subcutaneously NS, NX 0.02, 0.1 and 0.5mg/kg respe-ctively and was observed continuously for 50min. The results suggest that the
摘要:In this paper a series of experiments on the role of serotoninergic desce-nding inhibition in AA and its potential relation to opiate-like substance (OLS)and substance P (SP) were performed. 1. We have found that the analgesic effect of acupuncture could be signi-ficantly attenuated by lesion of nucleus raphe magnus (NRM), intraperitonealinjection of para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA), infracisternal injection of5, 7-dihydroxytryptamine (5, 7-DHT) and intrathecal or iontophoretic administra-tion of Methysergide (MSG). AII these results suggest that serotoninergic desce-
摘要:This experiment is to investigate the electro-acupuncture analgesia on thefluctuations of substance P in brain and spinal cord. The electro-acupuncturewas given to the experimental rats and the quantity of the substance P (SP)in the hypothalamus, the brain stem and the lumber spinal cord was determinedby the radioimmunoassay. The control group was not given the electoacupunctureand the other treatments were the same as the experimental animals. Whilepain threshold increased (PTI) rats with the control were compared; the SP inthe hypothalamus of the PTI rats decreased singnificantly, however the SP in
摘要:In order to study the mechanism of moxibustion-treating arthralgia, we have observed, using the rat suffering from Freuad adjuvant arthritis as a pa-thological model, the effect of moxibustion on the pressure pain threshold, localskin temperature and foot volume of affected extremities, the levels of substa-nce P(SP) and leu-enkephalin (LEK) in the sciatic nerve and lumbar spinalcord.
摘要:We have observed the influence of substance P-antagonist, (D-Arg1, D-Phe1, D-Phe5, D-Trp5, D-Trp(7,9), Leu(7,9), Leu(11))-SP (DADPDTL) injected intracerebroventricularly(icv) on EAA, the change of the level of SP in the brain regions of the ratduring EAA and if electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation could change the levelof SP in the brain, the naloxone (NX) is whether or not to affect the changeinduced by EA.
摘要:An investigation was undertaken on chronic pain patients treated with acu-puncture and differentiated into two groups, one with yang deficiency and theother without yang deficiency. The efficacy of acupuncture therapy was eva-luated by the visual analogue scale. The contents of plasma leu-enkephalinlike immunoreactive substance (LEKLIS) and plasma cortisol were measured byradioimmunoassay. It was found that the therapeutic effect of acupuncture wasassociated with changes of plasma LEKLIS before and after acupuncture. Mostpatients with yang deficiency manifested good effect and their plasma LEKLIS

Pain threshold wasdetermined by potassium iontophoretic dolorimetry. Electroacupuncture wasapplied at unilateral "Hegu" and "Waiguan" points. Δ9-THC (0, 1mg/kg, iv)
摘要:L-Tetrahydropalmatine (L-THP) is a non-narcotic analgesic which possessesmanifold pharmacologic effects such as analgesia, tranquitizing, antiarrhythmiaand so on. Tetrahydroberberine (THB) and L-stephotidine (L-SPD) are two ana-logues of L-THP which have been used in ctinics. In present paper, the effectsof L-THP, THB or L-SPD on electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia were observedand compared in rabbits so as to provide the laboratory information about see-king certain synergists of acupuncture anethesia.
摘要:To date it is generally accepted that D2 receptor regulates the release andmetabolism of dopamine (DA) in negative feed-back way, and D1 receptor iscoupled to adenylate cyclase in a stimulatory way, To study the roles of D2and D1 subtype DA receptors in the potentiation of electroacupuncture (EA)analgesia by 1-tetrahydropalmatine (1-THP), the changes of contents of DA,DOPAC, HVA as well as cAMP in CSF were observed when analgesic effectof EA was potentiated by 1-THP.
摘要:Our former work showed that there was a synergism of analgesia between1-tetrahydropalmatine (1-THP) and electroacupuncture (EA). Recently, it hasbeen verified that 1-THP is a new chemical type of central dopamine (DA) re-ceptor antagonist. To study the role of central dopaminergic system in thesynergism between 1-THP and EA analgesia, the effects of icv DA agonists on1-THP-induced analgesia and EA analgesia were investigated by using the po-tassium iontophoretic dolorimetry in rabbits.
摘要:Diazepam was often used as an adjuvant drug prior to and during acupun-cture anethesia in clinics; however, there was a divergence of opinion uponthe effect of diazepam on acupuncture analgesia. The present study was toinvestgate the effects of various doses of diazepam as well as RO 15, 1788(RO),a selective benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, on electroacupuncture (EA)analgesia by using potassium iontophoretic dolorimetry in rabbits.
摘要:DOPS, the direct precursor of norepinephrine(NE), was used in this studyto (valuate the role played by NE of the brain in acupuncture analgesia.1. At the doses of 25, 50, 100, 200μg, one hour after applied by ivt,DOPS increased EN contents of brain and decreased the analgesic effect of EA.2. One and 2 hours after the ivt 200μg of DOPS, the analgesic effect ofEA was lowered with a respective increase in NE content. Five hours afterthe DOPS injection, the NE content came down and the analgesic effect of EAwent up, approaching the original levels.
摘要:Abstract From a series of experiments Being done by these departments itis identifyed that halenula is not only closely concerned in the pain sensationand acupuncture analgesia, but also is the axis of the descending inhibitorypathway, from the limbic forebrain to the brain stem, which takes part in theaction of the antinociceptive information, including the acupuncture analgesia.In general, the activity of habenular nucleus is inhibited by the signals comingfrom the structures of limbic forebrain. What is the neurotransmitter mediated
摘要:Acctylcholine (ACh) is the neuro transmitter which carliest emerges no matter in development of species or in evolution of individual. In some lower animalwhole sensory afferent nerve is cholinedergic, in advanced animals part ofnociceptive sensory neuroanatomic pathways is corresponding to ascending reti-cular exciting system. So it is possible that ACh is considered as one of impo-rtant neurotransmitters relating to acupuncture analgesia.
摘要:It has been demonstrated that central Acetylcholine (ACh) plays a role inacupuncture analgesia. In order to study whether peripheral ACh involves inacupuncture analgesia and input of acupuncture information, some experimentswere performed. The results were as follows:1. Observation of histochemistry showed that at acupoints the nerve net-works in the corium, especially the free nerve endings and the nerves aroundarterioles as well as small branchs of nerves in subcutaneous tissue, were AChE
摘要:Dorsal horn of spinal cord is an important relay of primary afferent. Inorder to investigate the effect of ACh in spinal cord on electroacupunctureanalgesia, the ACh contant,ChAC and AChE activity were measured. 72 rats wereused in this experiment and separated into two groups, A and B. Eachgroup was subdivided into electroacupuncture group and control group. TheACh content and ChAC activity in dorsal horn of animal group A; andAChE activity in those of group B were investigated. After electroacupun-cture induction for 10, 20, 30 minutes, it was found that the effectiveness ofacupuncture analgesia direct relation to intensity of electroacupuncture(relative

摘要:Ever since 1964, we have carried out experimental and clinical researchesto study the mechanism of acupuncture analgesia(AA) using multidisciplinarytechniques of neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuromorphology and neuro-biochemistry. It was found that afferent impulses arising from the acupuncturepoints travel along the neuropathway of the pain and temperature sensation(ventrolateral funiculi) of the spinal cord, reach the brain and activate thepain modulating system including some brain areas of limbic system to bringabout neurobumoral interaction among endogenous opioid peptides and differentneurotransmitters to activate the descending inhibitory system thus resulting inanalgesia. The main results are as follows.
摘要:The success of the clinical study of acupuncture anesthesia is a breackthro-ugh of traditional Chinese medicine in recent century.
