nt group was lower than that in the control group ( <0.05). " " acupuncture obviously relieves the clinical symptoms of posterior circulation ischemic vertigo.

"Xiao xingnao kaiqiao" acupuncture obviously relieves the clinical symptoms of posterior circulation ischemic vertigo. The mechanism of acupuncture is potentially related with its effects in improving Vm and PI of LVA,RVA and BA, as well as improving blood supply of brain tissue. To compare the analgesic effect of manual acupuncture(MA) stimulation of "Zusanli" (ST36) in rats with inflammatory pain under unrestrained conscious, restrained and general anesthesia conditions, so as to explore the applicability of unrestrained conscious model in the evaluation of acupuncture analgesia effect. Male SD rats were divided into 5 groups blank control ( =9), pain model ( =7), unrestrained conscious conditions+MA ( =6), restrained conditions+MA ( =6), and general anesthesia (GA)+MA( =6). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/liraglutide.html The acute pain model was established by injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the left ankle joint 48 h ahead of acupuncture. Subsequently, a single 20 min session of MA was applied to the left ST36. The mechanical and thermal pain thresholds (MPT and TPT) were determined before and after injection of CFA, and after MA stimulation. In order to evaluate the autonomic behavior activities, rats were randomly divided into blank control ( =11), pain model ( =11) and conscious-unrestrained condident significance ( >0.05). No significant changes were found in the total moving distance after MA and in the central area moving distance after modeling and MA ( >0.05). MA has a better therapeutic effect in relieving pain and pain-induced depression-like behavior in conscious unrestrained rats than in restrained and GA rats, implying a higher applicability of unrestrained conscious pain model to the assessment of acupuncture analgesia. MA has a better therapeutic effect in relieving pain and pain-induced depression-like behavior in conscious unrestrained rats than in restrained and GA rats, implying a higher applicability of unrestrained conscious pain model to the assessment of acupuncture analgesia. To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the expression of autophagy mediated PI3K/AKT pathway and sex hormones in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rats, so as to explore the mechanisms underlying improvement of PCOS anovulatory infertility. Six-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, model and EA groups ( =10 per group). The PCOS model was established by gavage of Letrozole solution (1.0 mg/kg), once daily for 21 consecutive days. Then, EA (2 Hz, 1 mA) was applied to the "Sanyinjiao"(SP6) and "Taichong"(LR3) for 20 min, once a day for 14 successive days. The morphological changes of the ovary were observed after H.E. staining. The contents of serum androgen (T), luteinizing hormone (LH) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) in the ovary tissues were detected by Western blot. Compared with the control group, the levels of serum T, LH and AMH contents, and ovarian LC3 Ⅱ expression and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰwere significantly increased ( <0.05), and the expression levels of PI3K and AKT proteins were considerably decreased in the model group ( <0.05). After EA intervention, the levels of serum T, LH, AMH, and the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰwere considerably down-regulated ( <0.05), and those of PI3K and AKT were obviously up-regulated in the EA group ( <0.05). EA intervention can reduce serum T, LH and AMH contents, and the ratio of ovarian LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ and up-regulate ovarian PI3K and AKT in PCOS rats, which may contribute to its effect in improving anovulatory infertility by suppressing autophagy. EA intervention can reduce serum T, LH and AMH contents, and the ratio of ovarian LC3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ and up-regulate ovarian PI3K and AKT in PCOS rats, which may contribute to its effect in improving anovulatory infertility by suppressing autophagy. To observe the effect of moxibustion on serum inflammatory factors, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) in colon tissue of rats with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D)，so as to explore the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of IBS-D. Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group and moxibustion group, with 8 rats in each group. The IBS-D model was established by chronic restraint combined with gavage of Senna-leaf solution. The rats of the moxibustion group was treated with moxibustion at "Tianshu"(ST25)and "Shangjuxu"(ST37)for 30 min， once a day for 7 d. After the intervention, the rate of loose stools and the minimum threshold volume of abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) induced by colorectal distension were observed. The contents of serum inflammatory factors IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. The pathological changes of rat colon were observed by H.E. staining. The avera-1β, TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and the expression levels of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB (p65) mRNAs and proteins in colon tissue decreased significantly in the moxibustion group ( <0.01). Moxibustion ST25 and ST37 can improve diarrhea symptom and visceral hypersensitivity in IBS-D rats, which may be related with its effects in inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the expression of inflammatory factors. Moxibustion ST25 and ST37 can improve diarrhea symptom and visceral hypersensitivity in IBS-D rats, which may be related with its effects in inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the expression of inflammatory factors. To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on liver surface blood perfusion and related indexes of oxidative stress in mice with acute alcoholic liver injury （AALI）, so as to explore its mechanism underlying improving of AALI. Twenty-four Kunming mice were randomly divided into control, model and EA groups (8 mice/group). AALI model was established by intragastric administration of 50% ethanol at 6 g/kg. EA (4-6 V, 50 Hz) was applied to bilateral"Zusanli"(ST36) and"Taichong"(LR3) for 30 min. The liver surface blood perfusion was dynamically observed by moorFLPI laser speckle imager for 30 min. The morphological changes of the liver tissue were determined by H.E. staining. Levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the liver were measured by ELISA. Compared with the control group, the model group had markedly pathological changes of the hepatic cords, hepatic sinuses and hepatocytes shown by H.E. staining, a significant reduction in liver surface blood perfusion and the content of SOD in liver tissue ( <0.
