摘要:人们早已知道,电针穴位可以在大脑皮层体感区引起诱发电位,据此许多研究者相信,针感的产生和大脑皮层有密切关系。近年来的研究进一步表明,皮层体感区(SⅠ区和 SⅡ区)对许多皮层下核团中神经元的伤害性反应具有下行调制作用。有的作者指出,针刺穴位激活皮层神经元,Single SI cortical neurons were recorded extracellularly with glass micro- pipettes,and their response properties to electro-acupuncture (EA)of contra- lateral Tsusanli (St.36)and Fenglung (St.40),or to manual acupuncture (MA)of Tsusanli were observed in unanesthetized and paralyzed rats. In 46 rats,a total of 474 neurons were isolated in the hindlimb repre- sentation area of SI cortex.Among these neurons,228 responded to peripheral mechanical stimulation,and could be classified as cutaneous neurons,deep neurons and cutaneous-deep convergent neurons.Thirty five of them were identified as nociceptive neurons. Neurons of various sensory neurons and with receptive fields (RFs)located in the contralateral hindlimb responded to EA.Significant difference (P< 0.01)existed between the stimulation thresholds of cutaneous neurons (2.39± 0.27V)and those of deep neurons (4.12±0.48V).There was no significant difference between the thresholds of nociceptive and non-nociceptive neurons. The typical response of SI neurosis to single EA stimulation consisted of early discharges with a latency of 11.57±0.39msec and late train discharges with a latency of 54.79±4.07msec.A period of inhibition frequently inter- vened between the two groups of discharges.In a small portion of neurons, only a period of inhibition was prodnced.The responsiveness of neurons decreased markedly when the frequency of repeated EA stimulation was incre ased from 1Hz to 50Hz. Neurons of various sensory modalities responded to MA as well.Judging by RF distribution of the responsive neurons,however,the extent of action of MA was smaller than that of EA.Moreover,the responses to EA and MA were in opposite directions (excitation vs.inhibition)in a few neurons. Combined with the studies of others,the present work suggests that the activity of deep neurons in SI cortex,including muscle neurons and nocice- ptive neurons,are probably concerned with the production of needling sensa- tion during acupuncture.
摘要:过去研究电针对痛敏单位放电的影响时,大多数报道都以非时锁反应(单位时时内放电数量或平均放电率的变化)为指标,也有用时锁反应(对刺激有效固定的时间关系的短暂反应)为指标。我们对这两种反应进行了对比,两者反映角度不完全相同。本文以伤害性刺激猫的腓浅神经(PN)诱发In order to study the effects of morphine and eletro-acupuncture(EA)on non-time-lock respone (N-TLR)and time-lock response (TLR)of nociceptive unit disehasges.N-TLR was shown by interspike interval mean function (ISIMF)and TLR by normalized cross-covariance function (NCCVF)reflecting the relationship between stimulation and response. The results showed that the N-TLR elicited by the noxious stimulation appeared as a decrease of ISIMF.Which was depressed obviously by EA and morphine,but inhibitory effect of EA was more rapid than morphine,that both EA and morphine inhibited mainly the late peak of the NCCVF elicited by the noxious stimulation,but inhibitory effect of EA was more rapidly developing and moqe quickly recovering than that of morphine.The inhibi- tory effect of EA on the early peak was very little.From above results it was suggested that the P-ED elicited by the noxious stimulation could be inhibited by both EA and morphine,but the degree and the speed of inhibtion were difference.
摘要:室旁核是丘脑下部的重要核团之一。它不但分泌催乳素和加压素等激素物质,而且还含有多种神经递质;如亮-脑啡肽,β-内啡肽等。另外,形态学研究证明室旁核与间脑、中脑、延髓以及脊髓均有广泛的纤维联系。由此可见室旁核对机体功能起着重要的调控作用,尤其近几年该核团越来越引起了人们的重视。目前,关于室In order to study the ultrastructural change of the paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus during the electro-acupuncture,13 healthy and adult rats were divided into control group and electro-acupuncture group.The results are as follows: 1.The synapses of the paraventrieular nucleus mainly belong to the axo- dendricular asymmetrical synapses and contain a lot of round clear synaptic vesicles. 2.The round clear synaptic vesicles of the paraventricular nucleus in the electro-acupuncture group are much fewer than those in the control group. The difference is very significant (P<0.01). This suggests that the paraventricular nucleus is inuolved in the electro- acupuncture analgesia.
摘要:近年来的研究资料表明:延髓外侧网状旁巨细胞核(RPGL)是电刺激脑镇痛和吗啡镇痛非常有效的部位。与其它参与吗啡镇痛的脑区(如下丘脑、中脑导水管周围灰质、第四脑室底等)相比,RPGL 对吗啡的敏感性最强。国外对此核团的镇痛机理方面亦做了大量工作,已证明它是痛The present study was aimed to investigate the role of the reticularis pa- ragiganocellularis lateralis (RPGL)in acupuncture analgesia.Tail-flick response to electrical stimulation of the tail skin was taken as index of pain response.The first part of the study consisted of four groups:(1)surgical control,(2)electro-acupuncture,(3)electrical stimulation of RPGL,and (4)stimulation of RPGL simultaneously with electro-acupuncture.The pain thrshold in the first group was quite stable during the experiments,but incre- ased significantly after electro-acupuncture and/or brain stimulation (n=14, P<0.01;n=8,P<0.001;n=14,P<0.001).The pain threshold of the fourth group increased much more than the second and the third group (P<0.001, P<0.01),In the second part of the study,the effect of electro-acupuncture was reduced significantly after electrical lesion of the RPGL unilaterally (n= 12,P<0.01).The present work indicates that electrical stimulation of RPGL nhances electro-acupuncture analgesia,whereas the lesion of RPGL reduces it.It is suggested that RPGL plays a role in acupuncture analgeia.
摘要:延髓腹外侧区神经元含多种递质或调质,有整合循环、呼吸、躯体传入、内分泌等多种功能。其表面结构是维持心血管活动的重要脑区,它作为重要的心血管活动中枢愈来愈受到人们的重视。临床和实验研究表明,针刺“内关”具有改善心绞痛患者症状,改善左心功能状态和促进急性心肌缺40 healthy rabbits were anesthetized with 20% urethane and divided into 4 groups in same number:1)electroacupuncture group physiological saline was applied locally on the S area of the ventral surface of the medulla:2)naloxon group,naloxon (5mg/ml.PH 6.5-7)was applied on the S area:3)propra- nolol group,propranolol (5mg/ml.pH 7.0)was applied on the S area;4) control group,physiological saline was applied on the S area.The state of regional myocardial ischemia of the rabbits was caused by ligating the LAD for 20 minutes.The changes of the blood pressure and the ST values of sta- ndard lead Ⅱ of ECG were observed before ligating and,at 5′,10′,15′,20′, 25′,30′,35′,40′,45′,50′,55′ and 60′ after loosening respectively.Electro- acupuncture was applied on “Neiguan” points bilaterally at 10′ after ligating for 60 minutes (intensity 6-8 volt,frequency 60/min).The average potential changes of the ST values of standard lead Ⅱ of 5 times were used as the index to evaluate myocardial ischemia and its recovery course. The followings are the main results of our observation: There were no statistical defference,of blood pressure and the ST values between the four groups before ligation.At 10 minutes ofter ligation,the ST values were elevated markedly,but there were no statistical significances be- tween the four groups. During electroacupuncture,blood pressures in the four groups decreased gradually,but comparing with electroacupuncture group,blood pressure in the naloxon group and the control group decresed markedly,the propranolol group was the same as the electroacupuncture group:the ST values in the four groups recovered gradually,but the recovering in the naloxon and the control group was sluggish and there was statistical difference comparing with electroacupu- nture group,(there was)and no statistical difference was observed between propranolol group and electroacupuncture group. The above mentioned results show that there is an improved effect of ele- ctroacupuncture on acute ischemic myocardial injury.The effect can be reversed by naloxon applied locally on the S area of the ventral surface of the medulla.
摘要:过去我们一直在探讨促进运动神经元(MN)损伤后恢复的因素和方法,曾用 HRP轴突逆行输送法观察到针刺能促进舌下神经(运动神经)及桡神经(其运动神经纤维)的再生。但针刺对 MN 胞体损伤后的恢复,对它们在中枢神经系内的存活及再生是否有利尚须研究。据报导将3~6周龄大鼠的舌下神经切断一周后,舌下神经核内 MN胞体数目明显减少。通过针刺对舌下神经切断后舌下神经核内 MN 胞体丧失的影响It was reported previously that acupuncture promotes regeneration of rat's peripheral nerve.In order to study the effect of acupuncture on recovery of motoncuronal lesion and regeneration of central nervous system,we studied the effect of acupuncture on neuronal loss induced by axotomy in the rat hypoglo- ssal nuclei,A total of 6 pairs of rats (acupunctured and controls in pairs) were used,(each pair of)the rats were paired of the same litter and sex.After the right hypoglossal nerves were severed,rats were reared for 14 days.In this period,we gave acupuncture therapy to the acupunctured rats but nothing to the controls,After perfusion,serial paraffin sections of brain stems of rats were cut and stained with cresyl violet,Serial sections per rat were used for counting the perikaryon of the hypoglossal nuclei,The reduced percentage of neuronal population followed axotomy was calculated,It was found that neuro- nal loss was less severe in acupunctured rats,Difference in the redueed percentage of neuronal population between acupunctured rats and controls was significant statistically,it was shown that acupuncture increased survival of lesioned neurons,and thus acupuncture may be helpful to the recovery of neu- ronal lesion.The detailed mechanism is going to be explored.
摘要:电针刺激通过何种纤维传入中枢产生镇痛作用,至今仍有争论。范少光等采用我室常用电针参数,以大鼠行为反应为指标,观察到电针(Electroacupuncture,EA)镇痛信息主要不是由 C 纤维传入。本工作用辣椒素选择性阻断 C 纤维传导后,观察了 EA 和伤害性热刺激(Noxious heat,NH)对脊髓广动力范围(Wide DynamicRange,WDR)神经元抑制作用的影响,进一步对上述问题作探讨。
摘要:乙酰胆碱(Ach)不论在种系发生或个体发生上都是最早出现的神经递质,在某些低等动物感觉传入神经全部是胆碱能的,高等动物痛觉的神经通路有一部分也和上行胆碱能网状激活系统一致;脑内一些重要的与痛和镇痛有关的结构是胆碱能的;因此我们认为 Ach 可能是研究针刺镇痛中枢神经化学原The artical systematically reported our physiological and biochemical work on the relationship between central acetylcholine and acupuncture analgesia. The results indicate: 1.Acupuncture on acupoints could produce analgesia. 2.Ach contents in cerebrospinal fluids and brain increased under acupu- ncture analgesia. 3.AChE activities iu brain elevated under acupuncture analgesia. 4.ChE inhibitor reinforced the effects of acupuncture and inhibitor of ACh synthesis could inhibit the effects of acupuncture,which could be reversed by administration of ACh and chlorocholine.M-AChR antagonists could also inhibit the effects of acupuncture. 5.The turnover rate of ACh in diencephalon,caudate nucleus and spinal dorsal horn accelerated when acupuncture analgesia. The discussion was given on the variation of metabolic dynamics in co- mbination with related literature.
摘要:针麻是个复杂的生理调节过程,其除了神经系统的作用外,还有体液因素的参与。近年来实验证明针刺可提高血浆中亮啡肽,ACTH,肾上腺皮质激素的含量,并且针麻效果与这些体液因素有密切关系。另有资料表明针刺可提高血浆睾酮的含量,关于睾酮水平的改变对针刺镇痛的效果是否有影响,目前尚未见报道,本文试对该问题55 rats (Wistar,Male,250-350g)were divided into 4 groups:(1)BTA (bilateral testectomy+adrenalectomy)group,(2)BT (bilateral testectomy) group,(3)BA cbilatral adrenalectomy)group,(4)SO (sham operation)group. EA was applied to bilateral “Tsusanli” points of each animal at 72h.after operation,The potassium iontophoretic dolorimetry wets used to determine the pain threshold of rats,radioimmunoassay was used to measure the contens of T and DHT in femoral vein blood,T,DHT and the pain threshold of each animal were measured before operation,at 72h,after operation and after EA,but for the SO group the measuremint was done once at 72h,after im testosterone phenylacetate.Results:The content of T in BTA and BP groups were decreased.significantly at 72h,after operation,but the changes of the pain threshold were similar to BA and SO groups,After EA the content of T in BT and SO groups were raised significantly (P<0.01),but in BT group raised slightly (P>0.05).It was found in all animals that the content of DHT and the pain threshold were significantly elevated at 45 min after EA. No effect upon the pain threshold and EA analgesia was observed in SO group after im testosterone phenylacetate,Conclusion:T (from testes and adrenal) and DHT rose markedly after EA.Increasing T and DHT or decreasing T in plasma had no effect upon the pain threshold and EA analgesia.It is sugge- sted that T tnd DHT in plasma may not play a role in the EA analgrsia,in the other hand,EA may be used for improving the hypogonadal condition.
