In the preventive treatment of diseases, the ancient Chinese doctors usually (1) regulated qi of both Conception Vessel and Governor Vessel for health care; (2) performed regular moxibustion; and (3) applied plaster to the acupoint in summer for treating winter-diseases. In the treatment of diseases after onset, the ancient Chinese usually (1) tried best to make early diagnosis and early treatment; and (2) strengthened the related internal organ in advance to check their development; and (3) employed appropriate remedies to recuperate the patient's health.展开更多

After AD＇s model was established,EA and moxibustion were given again for one week. Immunohistochemical analysis was carried out to determine the mean op cal density expression of HSP 70 and HSP 90 in CA 1 area of hippocampus in the rats,and flow cytometry was used to determine the apopto c rates of hippocampal neuron cells. Results A er acupuncture pres mulus for 4 weeks,the mean op cal density expression of HSP 70 and HSP 90 in CA 1 area of hippocampus in the rats significantly increased in comparison to that in the model group（P0.01）,and the apopto c rate of the cells significantly decreased in comparison to that in the model group（P0.01）. Conclusion Acupuncture pres mulus can inhibit cell apoptosis by inducing the expression of HSP 70 and HSP 90 in brain,and thus protect neurons.展开更多
