The 65 patients were divided into point-injection group (40 cases who were treated with point-injection of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae injectio and oral administration of Shujiangzhi) and control group (25 cases who were treated with oral administration of Shujiangzhi only). Results showed that the total effective rate of the point-injection group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0. 05); point-injection of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae injectio could effectively raise the level of HDL-C, decrease lower LDL-C and regulate estrogen level of women. The slow releasing action of red sage root solution in the topical acupoint region prolonged and enhanced its effect in lowering blood-lipid. There was a significant difference between the two groups in the effect of lowering blood-fat (P< 0. 01).展开更多

The results indicated that in the warming-reinforcing group, TC decreased markedly and HDL increased obviously with significant difference as compared with the twirling-reinforcing group:TC and LDL also decreased, but no significant differencte as compared with the twirling-reinforcing group. Warming-reinforcing method can decrease lipids more effectively than twirling-reinforcing method.展开更多

Methods: 55 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n=13), model group (n=14), direct moxibustion group (n=14) and herb-medicine-cake-separated moxibustion (indirect moxibustion) group (n=14). Hyperlipemia model was established by feeding the animals with specialized forage (15% vitellus powder, 5% lard, 0.5% cholesterol and common forage) for 6 weeks. Moxibustion was applied to “Juque”(CV 14), “Tianshu”(ST 25), “Fenglong”(ST 40), etc., 4 moxa-cones for every acupoint, once daily and continuously for 40 days. Serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-Ch), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-Ch) and total cholesterol (TCh) contents were assayed with colorimetric method. Results: Compared with control group, serum LDL-Ch content, HDL-Ch/LDL-Ch and HDL-Ch/TCh of model group were significantly higher (P<0.05～0.01), while compared with model group, LDL-Ch contents of two moxibustion groups were strikingly lower (P<0.01). No significant differences were found between two moxibustion groups in all the 4 indexes. Conclusion: Both direct and indirect moxibustion can effectively lower serum LDL-Ch, raise HDL-Ch, HDL-Ch/LDL-Ch and HDL-Ch/TCh, and regulate lipoprotein metabolism in hyperlipemia rabbits.展开更多

Moxibustion was applied to “Juque”(CV 14), “Tianshu”(ST 25), “Fenglong”(ST 40), etc., 4 moxa-cones for every acupoint, once daily and continuously for 40 days. Serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TCh) contents were assayed with colorimentric method. Results: Compared with control group, TCh and TG levels of model group increased significantly (P< 0.01). TCh and TG contents of direct moxibustion and indirect moxibustion groups were significantly lower than those of model group (P<0.01). Comparison between two moxibustion groups showed that serum TCh level of indirect moxibustion group was strikingly lower than that of direct moxibustion group (P<0.01). It indicated that both direct and indirect moxibustion could effectively lower hyperlipemia and the therapeutic effect of indirect moxibustion was significantly superior to that of direct moxibustion in lowering serum TCh level. Conclusion: Both direct and indirect moxibustion can regulate lipid metabolism and the therapeutic effect of medicinal herb-cake-separated moxibustion is superior to that of direction moxibustion in hyperlipemia rabbits.展开更多

Methods: The hyperlipemia rabbit model was established by breeding of high fat forage and injection of bovine serum albumin. They were treated respectively by direct moxibustion and herbal cake-separated moxibustion at Juque (巨阙 CV 14), Tianshu (天枢 ST 25), Fenglong (丰隆 ST 40), etc., once daily, continuously for 40 days. Blood TCh and TG contents were detected with enzymatic method, LDL-Ch and HDL-Ch with colorimetric method, Apo A and Apo B with electrophoretic method, and TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF 1α with radioimmunoassay. Results: Both the herbal cake-separated moxibustion and direct moxibustion could effectively decrease TCh, TG, LDL-Ch, Apo B and TXB2 contents and TXB2/6-keto-PGF 1α, and increase HDL-CH and 6-keto-PGF 1α contents in the rabbit of hyperlipemia. Conclusion: 6-keto-PGF 1α and TXB2 are possibly involved in the mechanism of herbal cake-separated moxibustion decreasing blood lipids.展开更多
