PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF MOXIBUSTION AT SHENQUE(RN 8)ON GASTRIC MUCOSA

Male S.D rats weighing 200g were used(as experimental animals).Moxibus-tion at Shenque(RN 8)was performed for 15 minutes each day.The course lasted for weeks.In ratsundergoing oral infusion of taurocholate,index of gastric mucosal injury were 9.0±6.1 and 4.6±2.5 in two and four week groups respectively.Compared with control group(index:16.8±7.6),Pwas less than 0.05 and 0.01.This indicated that moxibustion had protective effect on gastric mucosalinjury.Time-effect relationship also existed.In experiment of analysis about mechanism of moxibustion,we found that moxibustion.1.stim-ulated the secretion of gastric mucus(P【0.001);2.increased the PGE 2 content in gastric mucosa(P【0.05);3.increased the number of β-endorphin-like immunoactive cells in gastric mucosa(P【0.05);4.enhanced the transformation of lymphocytes(P【0.01);5.reinforced the function of an-tibody-producing cells in the spleen.The results suggested that protective effect of moxibustion might result from the increase in mu-cus,the PGE 2 and the endogenous β-endorphin.It might also be related to the reinforcing effect ofmoxibustion on transformation of lymphocytes and antibody-producing function of spleen cells.

Extracellular signal-regulated kinase, substance P and neurokinin-1 are involved in the analgesic mechanism of herb-partitioned moxibustion

Herb-partitioned moxibustion can effectively mitigate visceral pain, a major symptom in inflammatory bowel disease, but the analgesic lnechanism is still unclear. Moreover, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, substance P, and neurokinin-1 are involved in formation of central hyperalgesia. Thus, we postulated that the analgesic effect of herb-partitioned moxibustion may be associated with these factors. Accordingly, in this study, we established an inflammatory bowel disease visceral pain model in rat by enema with a mixed solution of 5% trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and 50% ethanol. Bilateral Tianshu （ST25） and Qihai （CV6） points were selected for herb-partitioned moxi- bustion. Our results showed that herb-partitioned moxibustion improved visceral pain and down-regulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase, substance P, and neurokinin-1 protein and mRNA expression in dorsal root ganglia. These results indicate that down-regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase, substance E and neurokinin-1 protein and mRNA may be a central mechanism for the analgesic effect of herb-partitioned moxibustion.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Herb-Partitioned Moxibustion in the Treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the clinical effects of herb-partitioned moxibustion on patients with primary dysmenorrhea. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials of herb-partitioned moxibustion for primary dysmenorrhea published from the year the database was established to November, 2017 were searched from CNKI,Wanfang Database, VIP database, CBM, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Data extraction and quality evaluation were performed in papers meeting inclusion criteria. The outcomes measurements included clinical effect rate, visual analogue score(VAS), plasma PGF2α, adverse events, recurrence rate, and quality of life. The Rev Man 5.3 software was applied for meta-analysis. RESULTS:(1) A total of 16 studies were eligible and included in the meta-analysis involved1126 patients.(2) A statistically significant increasing in clinical effective rate was found in HMP group compared with control group [OR=3.49, 95%CI(2.25, 5.39), P<0.00001].(3) There was significant difference between two groups in visual analogue score [MD=–7.48, 95%CI(–9.93, –5.02), P<0.00001], which suggested the patients who received HPM had lower VAS scales than those who received no HPM.(4) There was significantly difference in serum PGF2α between the groups receiving HPM and the control group [MD=–4.61, 95%CI(–9.19, –0.03), P=0.05].(5) 2 trials reported followup duration, and all included studies did not mention the recurrence of PD during the follow-up stage, and all included studies did not mention the improvement of quality of life of PD during period of management and follow-up stage.CONCLUSIONS: Herb-partitioned moxibustion is beneficial for primary dysmenorrhea. However, the conclusion is not completely accurate with limitations of the current RCTs. The safety of herb-partitioned moxibustion remains to be defined by future studies. Attention should be paid to long-term effects of herb-partitioned moxibustion in clinical research. High-quality RCTs are required to confirm the effectiveness of herb-partitioned moxibustion for primary dysmenorrhea.

Effect of moxibustion at Shenque （CV 8） on free radical metabolism in rat＇s hippocampus after different degrees of exhaustive exercise

Objective： To investigate the effect of moxibustion at Shenque （CV 8） on free radical metabolism in rat＇s hippocampus after different degrees of exhaustive exercise. Methods： A total of 72 male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a normal group （n=8）, a model group （n=32） and a moxibustion group （n=32）. According to the times of modeling or treatment, the model group was further randomly divided into different subgroups of a 1-time model subgroup, a 4-time model subgroup, a 7-time model subgroup and a 10-time model subgroup （n=8）; the moxibustion group was also further randomly divided into different subgroups of a 1-time moxibustion subgroup, a 4-time moxibustion subgroup, a 7-time moxibustion subgroup and a 10-time moxibustion subgroup （n=8）. Rats in both model and moxibustion subgroups were subjected to establishing the swimming exhaustive model. Rats in each moxibustion subgroup received mild moxibustion at Shenque （CV 8） for 15 min immediately after modeling, once every other day. The concentration of malic dialdehyde （MDA）, as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase （SOD）, glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） and total antioxidant capacity （T-AOC） in rat＇s hippocampus in each group were detected 24 h after the exhaustive exercise. Results： Compared with the 1-time model subgroup, the exhaustive swimming time of rats was significantly prolonged in the 4-time model subgroup （P〈0.01）, while it was significantly shortened in the 7-time and 10-time model subgroups （both P〈0.01）. Compared with the matched model subgroup, the exhaustive swimming time of rats in the 7-time and 10-time moxibustion subgroups was significantly prolonged （both P〈0.01）. Compared with the normal group, the MDA concentration was increased significantly （P〈0.01）, and the activities stress response of SOD and T-AOC were increased in the 1-time model subgroup （both P〈0.05）; the MDA concentration was increased （all P〈0.01）, and the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and T-AOC were decreased differently （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01） in the 4-time, 7-time and 10-time model subgroups. Compared with the matched model subgroup, the concentration of MDA was significantly reduced （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）, and the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and T-AOC were significantly increased in the 4-time, 7-time and 10-time moxibustion subgroups （all P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Moxibustion at Shenque （CV 8） can improve the fatigue status of the body after long-term exhaustive exercise by regulating free radical metabolism in rat＇s hippocampus. To some extent, this provides an experimental basis for moxibustion at Shenque （CV 8） against exercise-induced fatigue.

Experimental study on the effect of moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8) for long-term exercise-induced fatigue

Objective:To investigate the effect of moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8)on fatigue in rats with chronic exercise-induced exhaustion.Methods:Thirty male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into a blank group,a model group and a moxibustion group,10 rats in each group.Except rats in the blank group,the remaining rats were subjected to create long-term exhaustion models by repeated swimming.After successful modeling,rats in the moxibustion group received mild moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8)for 15 min,once every other day with a total of 10 times.Rats in the model group and the blank group did not receive moxibustion.At the end of the treatment,the exhausted times,and the body weight of rats before and after the experiment were compared among groups.The levels of blood malondialdehyde(MDA)and urea nitrogen(BUN),as well as the activities of aspartate transarninase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were also measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer,24 h after the exhausting excise.Results:The 10 th swimming time was significantly longer in the moxibustion group than that in the model group(P〈0.01).The increase rate of the body weight was lower in the rats of the moxibustion group than that in the model group before the 7 th and the 10 th exhausting excise(P〈0.05,P〈0.01).The levels of serum MDA and BUN,as well as the activities of AST,ALT and LDH in the model group were higher than those in the blank group(all P〈0.01).The levels of serum MDA and BUN,as well as the activities of AST,ALT and LDH in the moxibustion group were lower than those in the model group(P〈0.01).Conclusion:Moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8)can decrease the serum levels of MDA and BUN,as well as activities of AST,ALT and LDH in the long-term fatigue rats,thus to improve the symptoms of fatigue.

Clinical Study on Moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8)for Chronic Urticaria

Objective:To observe the safety and efficacy of moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8)for chronic urticaria.Methods:A total of 80 cases who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into a treatment group and a control group,40 in each.Cases in the treatment group were treated with thunder-fire moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8),whereas cases in the control group were treated with Mizolastine.Changes in clinical symptoms such as itching and skin lesion were observed before and after treatment and the therapeutic efficacies were assessed.Results:After treatment,the total scores of clinical symptoms in both groups were markedly reduced(P<0.05),and the reduction was more significant in the treatment group than that in the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate in the treatment group was 77.5%,versus 65.0%in the control group,showing no significant difference(P>0.05).The Ridit analysis showed a between-group significant difference in therapeutic efficacy grades(P<0.05).There were no reports of adverse reactions in the treatment group and 2 cases experienced mild somnolence in the control group.Conclusion:With an exact effect for chronic urticaria,moxibustion at Shenque(CV 8)obtained better results in overall efficacy and improving symptoms than oral administration of Mizolastine.

Effect of moxibustion at Shenque (CV8) on immune system in rats with different degrees of exhaustive exercise

Objective: To investigate the effect of moxibustion at Shenque (CV8) on the immune system in rats with different levels of exhaustive exercise. Methods: Fifty-six male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a blank group (n=8), an exhaustive group (n=24), and a moxibustion group (n=24). The exhaustive group was randomly divided into a 1-time exhaustive group, a 4-time exhaustive group and a 7-time exhaustive group, with 8 rats in each group. According to the treatment time, the moxibustion group was randomly divided into a 1-time moxibustion group, a 4-time moxibustion group and a 7-time moxibustion group, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in the exhaustive groups and the moxibustion groups were subjected to replicating the exhaustive swimming models. Rats in each moxibustion group received mild moxibustion for 15 min immediately after the exhaustive modeling, once every other day. Twenty-four hours after the corresponding exhaustive exercise, the rats in each group were tested for the levels of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgA, IgM and acid phosphatase (ACP), and the morphological changes of spleen tissues were observed. The level of IgA was detected by immunoturbidimetric assay, and the levels of IgG, IgM and ACP were detected by en zyme-linked imm uno sorb ent assay (ELISA). Results: Compared with the 1-time exhaustive group, swimming time of rats in the 4-time exhaustive group was significantly proIonged (P<0.01), and swimming time of rats in the 7-time exhaustive group was significantly shortened (P<0.01). Compared with the 7-time exhaustive group, exhaustive swimming time of rats in the 7-time moxibustion group was significantly proIonged (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the IgG level in the 1-time exhaustive group was significantly decreased (PvO.Ol), and the levels of IgG, IgA and IgM in the 4-time exhaustive group and the 7-time exhaustive group were all sign ifica ntly decreased (P<0.05 or PvO.Ol), while the ACP level was in creased sign ifica ntly (both P<0.01). Microscopically, the number of splenic corpuscles in the 1-time exhaustive group was reduced;the center of some splenic corpuscles in the 4-time exhaustive group was damaged;the number of splenic corpuscles in the 7-time exhaustive group was reduced, and there was no obvious germinal center. Compared with the 4-time exhaustive group, the IgA level in the 4-time moxibusti on group was sign ifica ntly in creased (P<0.01), and the ACP level was sign ifica ntly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the 7-time exhaustive group, the levels of IgG, IgA and IgM in the 7-time moxibustion group were sign ifica ntly in creased (all PvO.Ol), and the ACP level was sign ifica ntly decreased (P<0.01). Microscopically, the nu mber of splenic corpuscles in the 1-time moxibustion group was reduced;the center of some splenic corpuscles in the 4-time moxibustion group was damaged together with hyperplasia of some splenic corpuscles;blast cells were proliferated in the center of some splenic corpuscles in the 7-time moxibustion group. Conclusion: Moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) can improve the levels of IgG, IgA and IgM, reduce the ACP level, repair damaged spleen tissues, and enhance the immunity of the body to some extent in the Iong-term fatigue rats.
