However, most studies of the underlying mechanism are at the single gene level; there are few reports regarding the mechanism at the whole-genome level. Using a rat genomic gene-chip, we profiled hippocampal gene expression changes in rats after electroacupuncture therapy. Electroacupuncture therapy alleviated depres- sion-related manifestations in the model rats. Using gene-chip analysis, we demonstrated that electroacupuncture at Baihui （DU20） and Yintang （EX-HN3） regulates the expression of 21 genes. Real-time PCR showed that the genes Vgf, lgf2, Trnp32, Loc500373, Hifla, Folrl, Nrnb, and Rtn were upregulated or downregulated in depression and that their expression tended to nor- malize after electroacupuncture therapy. These results indicate that electroacupuncture at Baihui and Yintang modulates depression by regulating the expression of particular genes.展开更多
目的:评价转腰汤治疗退行性脊柱侧凸的临床疗效。方法:将退行性脊柱侧凸患者64例用随机数字表法分为A,B两组,A组31例口服转腰汤治疗,B组33例口服扶他林治疗,共治疗3周,记录治疗前后两组患者疼痛视觉模拟评分(visual analog scale,VAS)、...目的:评价转腰汤治疗退行性脊柱侧凸的临床疗效。方法:将退行性脊柱侧凸患者64例用随机数字表法分为A,B两组,A组31例口服转腰汤治疗,B组33例口服扶他林治疗,共治疗3周,记录治疗前后两组患者疼痛视觉模拟评分(visual analog scale,VAS)、Oswestry功能障碍指数(Oswestry disability index,ODI)及Cobb角度。结果:所有患者均获得随访,时间为1个月。1)两组患者治疗后及随访期VAS、ODI评分与治疗前相比差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01);治疗3周两组患者Cobb角与治疗前相比差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);2)治疗1周两组患者ODI、VAS评分比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),B组优于A组(P<0.05);治疗3周两组患者ODI、VAS评分及Cobb角比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);随访期两组患者ODI、VAS评分比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),A组优于B组(P<0.05);3)治疗1周两组患者临床疗效比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),B组优于A组(P<0.05);治疗3周两组患者临床疗效比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);随访期两组患者临床疗效比较差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),A组优于B组(P<0.05)。结论:转腰汤治疗退行性脊柱侧凸疗效确切,远期疗效优于扶他林。展开更多
