Repairing brain damage by inhibiting the macrophage-inducible C-type lectin/spleen tyrosine kinase （Mincle/Syk） signaling pathway is a potential new target for treating cerebral hemorrhage. In this study, we aimed to determine whether acupuncture through Baihui （DU20） to Qubin （GBT） is an effective treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage through the Mincle/Syk signaling pathway. An intracerebral hemorrhage rat model was established by autol- ogous blood infusion into the caudate nucleus. Acupuncture through Baihui to Qubin was performed for 30 minutes, once every 12 hours, for a total of three times. Piceatannol （34.62 mg/kg）, a Syk inhibitor, was intraperitoneally injected as a control. Modified neurological severity score was used to assess neurological function. Brain water content was measured. Immunohistochemistry and western blot assay were used to detect immunoreactivity and protein expression levels of Minde, Syk, and CARD9. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine interleukin-1[~ mRNA levels. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe histopathological changes. Our re- suits showed that acupuncture through Baihui to Qubin remarkably improved neurological function and brain water content, and inhibited immunoreactivity and expression of Mincle, Syk, CARDg, and interkeukin-1β Moreover, this effect was similar to piceatannol. These find- ings suggest that acupuncture through Baihui to Qubin can improve neurological impairment after cerebral hemorrhage by inhibiting the Mincle/Syk signaling pathway.展开更多
