The results showed that moxibustion had inhibitory effect on the growth of S180 solid sarcoma in mice, the inhibitory rate of tumor growth was 42. 21 %, the average tumor weight in moxibustion group was evidently lower than that in control group. The study also showed that moxibustion could enhance NK cell activity, increase the positive rate of Th cell of T lymphocyte subsets and ratio of Th/Ts; strengthen IL - 2 production level. It is concluded that moxibustion can inhibite early growth of transplanted tumor cells in new hosts, because moxibustion can improve or regulate immune insufficiency or immune derangement of tumor-bearing mice.展开更多
