METHODS： Rats were injected intraperitoneally with CCh （1 mL/kg） and treated with manual acupuncture using reinforcing manipulation techniques at left GB34 （Yanglingquan） 3 times a week for 10 wk. A nonacupoint in left gluteal area was selected as a sham point. To estimate the hepatoprotective effect of manual acupuncture at GB34, measurement of liver index, biochemical assays including serum ALT, AST, ALP and total cholesterol, histological analysis and blood cell counts were conducted. RESULTS： Manual acupuncture at GB34 reduced the liver index, serum ALT, AST, ALP and total cholesterol levels as compared with the control group and the sham acupuncture group. It also increased and normalized the populations of WBC and lymphocytes. CONCLUSION： Manual acupuncture with reinforcing manipulation techniques at left GB34 reduces liver toxicity, protects liver function and liver tissue, and normalizes immune activity in CCh-intoxicated rats.展开更多

文摘目的观察恢刺联合超声引导下冲击波对卒中后痉挛(post-stroke spasticity,PSS)患者肌张力和运动功能的影响。方法将96例PSS患者随机分为观察组和对照组,每组48例。对照组给予超声引导下体外冲击波(extra-corporeal shock wave therapy,ESWT)治疗,观察组在对照组基础上采用恢刺阳陵泉穴治疗。观察两组治疗前后改良Ashworth量表(modified Ashworth scale,MAS)、Wolf运动功能测试(Wolf motor function test,WMFT)、功能综合评定(functional comprehensive assessment,FCA)量表、肌电均方根值(root mean square,RMS)和积分肌电值(integrated electromyogram,iEMG)变化。结果两组治疗后肌张力评分等级分布优于治疗前(P<0.05),且观察组等级分布优于对照组(P<0.05)。治疗后,两组WMFT评分均高于治疗前(P<0.05),且观察组高于对照组(P<0.05);两组FCA日常生活功能、认知功能及总分高于治疗前(P<0.05),且观察组高于对照组(P<0.05);两组RMS、iEMG低于治疗前(P<0.05),且观察组低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论恢刺联合超声引导下冲击波治疗PSS效果显著,可有效改善肌电生理指标、肌张力及运动功能,提高日常生活能力及认知水平。
