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.

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.

Identification and characterization of murine adipose tissue-derived somatic stem cells of Shenque(CV8)acupoint

Background:Shenque(CV8)acupoint is located on the navel and has been therapeutically used for more than 2000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM).However,clinical research on the underlying therapeutic molecular mechanisms of the CV8 acupoint lags far behind.This study aimed to study the mechanisms of umbilical acupoint therapy by using stem cells.Methods:The morphological characteristics of CV8 acupoint were detected under a stereomicroscope using hematoxylin and eosin(H&E)staining.Oil Red,Masson,and immunohistochemical staining on multi-layered slices were used to identify the type of cells at the CV8 acupoint.Cell proliferation was measured by a cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)method.Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry were used for cell identification.Induced differentiation was used to compare the differentiation of cells derived from CV8 acupoint and non-acupoint somatic stem cells into other cell types,such as osteogenic,adipogenic,and neural stem cell-like cells.Results:Morphological observations showed that adipose tissues at the linea alba of the CV8 acupoint in mice had a mass-like distribution.Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the distribution of stem cell antigen-1(Sca-1)positive cells in the multi-layered slices of CV8 acupoint tissues.Cells isolated from adipose tissues at the CV8 acupoint exhibited high expression of Sca-1 and CD44 and low expression of CD31 and CD34,and these cells possessed osteogenic,adipogenic,and neurogenic stem cell-like cell differentiation ability.The cell proliferation(day 4:0.5138±0.0111 vs.0.4107±0.0180,t=8.447,P=0.0011;day 5:0.6890±0.0070 vs.0.5520±0.0118,t=17.310,P<0.0001;day 6:0.7320±0.0090 vs.0.6157±0.0123,t=13.190,P=0.0002;and day 7:0.7550±0.0050 vs.0.6313±0.0051,t=42.560,P<0.0001),adipogenic([9.224±0.345]%vs.[3.933±1.800]%,t=5.000,P=0.0075),and neurogenic stem cell-like cell differentiation(diameter<50 mm:7.2000±1.3040 vs.2.6000±0.5477,t=7.273,P<0.0001;diameter 50–100 mm:2.6000±0.5477 vs.1.0000±0.7071,t=4.000,P=0.0039;and diameter>100 mm:2.6000±0.5477 vs.0.8000±0.8367,t=4.025,P=0.0038)were significantly enhanced in somatic stem cells derived from the CV8 acupoint compared to somatic stem cells from the groin non-acupoint.However,cells possessed significantly weaker osteogenicity([2.697±0.627]%vs.[7.254±0.958]%,t=6.893,P=0.0023)in the CV8 acupoint group.Conclusions:Our study showed that CV8 acupoint was rich with adipose tissues that contained abundant somatic stem cells.The biological examination of somatic stem cells derived from the CV8 acupoint provided novel insights for future research on the mechanisms of umbilical therapy.
