Methods: Forty SPF grade Sprague-Dauley (SD) male rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, an herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group and a Western medicine group, with 20 rats in each group. Except the normal group, rats in the other three groups were used to make CD model by giving an enema in colon with Trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS). When the models were successful made, rats in the model group had no therapeutic intervention; rats in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group were subjected to herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion treatment at bilateral Tianshu (ST 25) plus O.ihai (CV 6); and rats in the Western medicine group were given oral Mesalazine. After treatment, the histopathological changes and inflammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-23 and their mRNAs expressions were observed in descending colon by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods. Results: Colon tissues of TNBS enema rat models showed cracks-like ulcers accompanied by mucous layer inflammation, granulomas, and inflammatory cytokines IL-27, IL-23 and their mRNAs expressions were all higher than those in the normal group (P〈O.01); after intervention, colon tissue cracks-like ulcers and inflammation degree reduced, inflammatory cytokines IL-17, IL-23 and their mRNAs expressions were all significantly decreased (P〈0.01) in the herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion group and the Western medicine group. Conclusion: Herbal cake-partitioned moxibustion may improve colon tissue ulcers and relieve intestinal inflammation by down-regulation of IL-17, IL-23 and their mRNAs expressions in CD model rats' colonic mucosa.展开更多

Methods: Clinical literature about acupuncture therapy for sleep apnea syndromes was derived from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), PubMed and Science Direct between the time that databases were created and March 25th,2017. Relevant excel database was established and descriptive studies and association rules were analyzed. Results: The most frequently used point was Lianquan (CV 23) and the most frequently used meridian was the Stomach Meridian. The analysis of association rules showed that the clinical choice of acupuncture points was highly correlated, among which the combination of the highest degree of confidence and the highest degree of support was Shenmen (HT 7) and Sishencong (EX-HN 1); Lieque (LU 7), lianquan (CV 23) and Zhaohai (KI 6). Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment of sleep apnea syndromes has specific selection rules of points, providing certain references for clinical and scientific research.展开更多

Methods: Clinical literatures related to PMS treated with acupuncture-moxibustion published from 2007 to 2016 were collected from Chinese Biomedical Literature Database(CBM), Chongqing VIP Database(CQVIP), China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database(Wanfang). The retrieved data underwent descriptive analysis, cluster analysis and association pattern analysis to determine the acupoints selection principle in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS. Results: The top five acupoints used in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS were Sanyinjiao(SP 6), Shenshu(BL 23), Guanyuan(CV 4), Baihui(GV 20), and Shenmen(HT 7). The leading 4 meridians were Bladder Meridian, Conception Vessel, Spleen Meridian, and Governor Vessel. The clustering analysis showed that the 5 core acupoint groups were:(1) Sanyinjiao(SP 6);(2) Shenshu(BL 23) and Guanyuan(CV 4);(3) Baihui(GV 20), Shenmen(HT 7), Zusanli(ST 36), Ganshu(BL 18) and Taichong(LR 3);(4) Taixi(KI 3), Pishu(BL 20), Xinshu(BL 15), Qihai(CV 6) and Neiguan(PC 6);(5) Sishencong(EX-HN 1), Zhongwan(CV 12), Hegu(LI 4), Yintang(GV 29), Fengchi(GB 20), Zhongji(CV 3) and Feishu(BL 13). The three most significant acupoints were Sanyinjiao(SP 6), Shenshu(BL 23) and Guanyuan(CV 4). Acupoint groups based on syndrome differentiation included:(1) Hegu(LI 4), Zhongwan(CV 12) and Sishencong(EX-HN 1);(2) Feishu(BL 13), Zhongji(CV 3), Fengchi(GB 20) and Yintang(GV 29);(3) Xinshu(BL 15), Pishu(BL 20), Qihai(CV 6), Neiguan(PC 6) and Taixi(KI 3);(4) Ganshu(BL 18), Zusanli(ST 36), Shenmen(HT 7), Taichong(LR 3) and Baihui(GV 20). The analysis of association pattern elaborated that Shenshu(BL 23) and Sanyinjiao(SP 6) won the highest support rate in the paired groups; Ganshu(BL 18), Shenshu(BL 23) and Sanyinjiao(SP 6) had the highest support rate among the acupoint groups. Conclusion: The data mining results of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS substantially conform to the general principle in traditional acupuncture-moxibustion theories, able to reflect the acupoints selection and grouping pattern and provide references for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS.展开更多

METHODS: New Zealand male rabbits were divid ed into control group, model group, treatment group 1 treated by acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and treatment group 2 treated by acupuncture at Zhongji (CV 3). The urine dynamic parameters through the urethral catheter were detected in each group in order: fluctuation of pressure at fill ing phase of urinary bladder and flow rate in urina tion phase, which were used as quantification in dexes of urinary bladder function. The urinary blad der abnormal model was prepared by administra tion of cholinergic stimulant; Regulatory effects of acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhongji (CV 3) on the abnormal state of the urinary bladder were respectively observed. RESULTS: 1) In the filling phase of urinary bladder and in the urination phase, the intravesical pres sure wave in infilling (IPWI) and intravesical dis charge rate (IDR) could be respectively recorded. 2) IPWI and IDR could become abnormality by neo stigmine methyl sulfate [stability type IPWh the con trol group (n=20, 80%) vs the model group (n=15, 14.3%), P〈0.01; IDR and time regression equation: the control group (n=20, y=24.3 0.878x) vs the model group (n=15, y=40.0 5.15x), P〈0.01]. 3) Ab normal IPWI's could be normalized respectively by acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhongji (CV 3) [the stability type IPWl wave: the model group (n= 2, 14.3%) vs the treatment group 1 (n=3, 30%), P〉 0.05; the instability type IPWl wave: the model group (n=13, 85.7%) in vs the treatment group 2 (n=6, 60%), P〉0.05]; 4) Abnormal IDR also could be turned to normality by acupuncture at Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhongji (CV 3), respectively [IDR and the time regression equation: the model group (n=15, y=40.0 5.15x) vs the treatment group 1 (n=10, y= 18.9 0.499x), P〈0.01; the model group (n=15, y= 40.0 5.15x) vs the treatment group 2 (n=10, y= 17.5 0.251x), P〈0.01]. CONCLUSION: 1) Urodynamic indexes can be used for study of mechanism of acupuncture effects; 2) The effect of acupuncture in the bladder filling phase is smaller than that in the urination phase; 3) Acupuncture has a very obvious effect on intravesi cal discharge rate.展开更多
