rate the limb spasticity symptom in MCAO rats, which may be associated with its functions in increasing the expressions of GAD67 protein and mRNA and inhibiting the expressions of GABA-T protein and mRNA, thereby playing the inhibitory role of GABA.
EA stimulation of Governor Vessel can ameliorate the limb spasticity symptom in MCAO rats, which may be associated with its functions in increasing the expressions of GAD67 protein and mRNA and inhibiting the expressions of GABA-T protein and mRNA, thereby playing the inhibitory role of GABA.
To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of "Zusanli"(ST36) and "Guanyuan"(CV4) on the apoptosis rate of synoviocytes and protein expression of Fas, FasL and Caspase-3 in synovial tissue of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
A total of 24 rats were randomly divided into normal, model, medication and EA groups, with 6 rats in each group. The AIA model was established by injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA, 0.1 mL) into the left hindlimb paw. The rats in the medication group received intraperitoneal injection of 0.35 mg/kg of methotrexate, twice a week for 4 weeks. The rats in the EA group received EA stimulation of ST36 and CV4 (20 Hz/50 Hz, 1 mA) for 20 min, 6 times a week for 4 weeks. The left hind paw volume was measured using a paw volume meter, and histopathological changes of synovial tissue were observed by light microscope after H.E. staining. The serum contents of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-αh the medication group, the expression of FasL protein was decreased in EA group (
<0.05). H.E. stain showed obvious hyperplasia of the synovial lining layer, and disordered arrangement of synovial cells, with edema and enlargement in some cells in the model group, which was relatively milder in both medication and EA groups.
EA of ST36 and CV4 can promote the apoptosis of synoviocytes and the expressions of Fas and FasL proteins in AIA rats, which may contribute to its role in relieving synovitis through activating Fas/FasL signaling.

To investigate the effects of acupuncture on phosphorylated P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-P38MAPK), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interferon γ (IFN-γ), and eosinophilic granulocytes (EOS) in lung tissue of asthmatic rats, and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture in regulating the apoptosis of EOS.
Clean-grade male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal, model, dexamethasone and acupuncture groups, 8 rats in each group. The asthmatic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of mixture suspension (1 mL) of 10% ovalbumin and 10% Al(OH)_3+ normal saline, followed by inhalation of atomized 1% ovalbumin solution for 30 min, once daily for 2 weeks to trigger occurrence of asthmatic symptoms. The rats in dexamethasone group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.9 mg/kg dexamethasone since day 15 once a day for two consecutive weeks. In the acupuncture group, bilateral "Feishu" (BL13), "Pishu" (BL20), "Shenshu" (BL23), "Dingchuan" (EX-B1), and "Danzhong" (CV17) were selay inhibit the P38MAPK signaling pathway, down-regulate ICAM-1 expression, and up-regulate IFN-γ expression to promote the apoptosis of EOS and reduce EOS aggregation, thus alleviating the inflammatory response of airway in asthma.
To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli"(ST36) pretreatment on lung functions, inflammatory response, and levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and angiotensin (1-7) [Ang (1-7)] in rats with sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI), so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of ALI.
Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal, model and EA groups (
=10 in each group). The sepsis-related ALI model was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 mg/kg). Rats of the EA group received EA (4 Hz/20 Hz, 1-3 mA) stimulation at bilateral ST36 for 30 min, once each day, for 7 days before modeling. The lung functions including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at 0.1 second (FEV0.1) and FEV0.3 were detected using a respiratory function detector for small animals at 3 h after modeling. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected for assaying the contents of Ang (1-7), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interue were significantly increased (
<0.05,
<0.01), whereas the level of W/D ratio, and TNF-α and IL-1β contents in the BALF were significantly decreased (
<0.05,
<0.01) in the EA group. H.E. staining showed pulmonary interstitial edema and alveolar septum thickening with severe inflammatory cell infiltration in the model group, which was relatively milder in the EA group.
EA preconditioning at ST36 can improve pulmonary function in sepsis-related ALI rats, which may be related to its effects in inhibiting inflammatory response and up-regulating ACE2 and MasR expression and Ang (1-7) content in the lung tissue.

To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on behavior, pathomorphology and brain cell apoptosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying treatment of TBI.
Male SD rats were randomly divided into control (
=10), sham (
=30), model (
=30) and EA (
=30) groups, the latter three groups were further divided into 3, 7, 14 d subgroups (
=10). TBI model was established by using a free fall brain injury striking device after exposing the local cranial bone (to induce the left parietal cerebral contusion). Twenty-four hours after modeling, EA (2 Hz, 1 mA) was applied at "Quchi"(LI11), "Neiguan"(PC6), "Zusanli"(ST36) and "Yongquan" (KI1) combined with acupuncture at "Shuigou"(GV26) and "Baihui"(GV20) for 15 min, once a day for 14 consecutive days. After 3, 7, and 14 days treatment, the behavioral function (balance, walking, nerve, and limb retraction) of the rats was evaluated. The histopathological changes of the injured brain tissue were observed by HE staining. group, the cell apoptosis of brain injury area was higher in the model group (
<0.01); while it was lower on day 7 and 14 in the EA group in comparison with the model group (
<0.01,
<0.05).
EA can improve the behavioral function, reduce the apoptosis of brain cells in the injured area, and promote the rehabilitation of craniocerebral injury.

To observe the effect of acupuncture on endoplasmic reticulum calcium, apoptosis number and Caspase-12 protein expression in hippocampal neurons of convulsive rats, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of convulsion.
SD rats were randomly divided into normal control, model and acupuncture groups, with 36 rats in each group. Rats in the normal control group received intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) of normal saline (2 mL), and those of the other 2 groups received i.p. of pentylenetetrazole (50 mg/kg) for establishing convulsion model. Manual acupuncture stimulation was applied to "Baihui"(GV20) and "Dazhui"(GV14) for 30 min after modeling. The hippocampal tissues were taken at 2, 12 and 48 h after modeling. CPI0610 The endoplasmic reticulum Ca
concentration (optical density, OD) was detected by using fluorescence probe technique and laser confocal microscopy, and the number of apoptosis of hippocampal neurons at the 3 time points detected by using terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediatedAcupuncture intervention is effective in reducing the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in convulsion rats, which may be related to its functions in down-regulating Caspase-12 expression and promoting influx of Ca2+ in the hippocampal neurons.

To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion on oxidative stress-related indicators in diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) rats, so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of DGP.
Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal, model, medication, EA, Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion (moxibustion) and EA+Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion (combination) groups (15 rats in each group). The DGP model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Rats of the medication group were treated by gavage of 0.15 mg/mL mosapride citrate suspension(10 mL/kg). EA (10 Hz/50 Hz, 2 mA, 20 min) or Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion (3 cones) was applied to "Zhongwan" (CV12), bilateral "Neiguan" (PC6) and bilateral "Sanyinjiao" (SP6) of the related groups, once a day for 3 weeks. The body weight, blood glucose, gastric emptying rate and intestinal propulsion rate of rats were measured. The serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content was measured by thant related proteins and genes, which may be one of the mechanisms in treating DGP.
EA combined with Zhuang-medicine-thread moxibustion can effectively improve the activity of antioxidant enzymes, reduce the production of lipid peroxide, and regulate the expression of antioxidant related proteins and genes, which may be one of the mechanisms in treating DGP.Cure of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) can lead to improvement of health-related quality of life and other patient-reported outcomes (PROs). While extensive PRO data for CHC patients who were enrolled in clinical trials are available, similar data for patients seen in real-world practices are scarce. Our aim was to assess PROs of CHC patients enrolled from real-world practices from different regions and to compare them with those enrolled in clinical trials. CHC patients seen in clinical practices and not receiving treatment were enrolled in the Global Liver Registry (GLR). Clinical and PRO (FACIT-F, CLDQ-HCV, WPAI) data were collected and compared with the baseline data from CHC patients enrolled in clinical trials. N = 12,171 CHC patients were included (GLR n = 3146, clinical trial subjects n = 9025). Patients were from 30 countries from 6 out of 7 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) super-regions. Compared with clinical trial enrollees, patients from GLR were less commonly enrolled from High-Income GBD super-region, older, more commonly female, less employed, had more type 2 diabetes, anxiety and clinically overt fatigue but less cirrhosis (all p 0.
