Methods： Healthy male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to sham operation （Group A）, model （Group B） and acupuncture （Group C） groups. A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） model of cerebral ischemia was made. NF-200 mRNA was measured by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） in each group on the 7th, 14th and 28th days. Results： The cerebral expression of NF-200 in group C was significantly different from those in groups A and B （P〈0.05）; there was a significant difference between groups C and B or A at different time windows （P〈0.01）, indicating that scalp point-through-point acupuncture could improve the cerebral expression of NF-200. Conclusion： Scalp point-through-point acupuncture can improve neural function, promote the recovery of limb function and increase the expression of NF-200 after cerebral ischemia, exerting a regulative effect on neuronal plasticity in the brain.展开更多
