Study of electroacupuncture with different frequencies for the treatment of headache and anxiety-depression symptoms in patients with migraine: A randomized clinical trial: 不同频率电针改善偏头痛患者头痛及焦虑抑郁症状的差异性研究-随机临床试验

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) with varied frequencies on headache and anxiety-depression symptoms in patients with migraine and to screen optimal frequency of EA for patients with such conditions.DesignSingle-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial was designed, and the outcome assessors and statisticians were blinded. The patients with migraine were randomized into 2 Hz EA group, 100 Hz EA group and sham-stimulation group. In each group, the changes in migraine attacks, days with headache, the scores of visual analogy scale (VAS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and migraine-specific quality-of-life questionnaire (MSQ), as well as the dosage of analgesics were observed at the baseline, during treatment, in 1, 2 and 3 months of follow-up separately.SettingPatients were enrolled in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, between 1^st August 2018 and 31^st July 2021.ParticipantsSixty-five migraine patients with or without aura.InterventionsIn the EA groups, the acupoints were bilateral Fengchi (GB20), Gongxue (Extra), Sizhukong (TE23), Taiyang (EX-HN5), Shuaigu (GB8), Waiguan (TE5) and Yanglingquan (GB34). Electric stimulation was exerted at GB20 and Gongxue (Extra), with 2 Hz and 100 Hz separately. In the sham-stimulation group, the shallow acupuncture was operated at the sites 1 cm lateral to GB20 and Gongxue (Extra), and on the radial side of TE5 and GB34. The output wires were cut off after attached to the acupoints. The patients in each group received the treatment 3 times weekly, once every two days, for consecutive 4 weeks. The complete intervention was composed of 12 treatments.Main outcome measuresChanges in numbers of migraine attacks at treatment phase (week 1 to week 4) from the baseline(week -4 to week 0) in patients of each groupResults(1) Changes in migraine attacks and days with headache: In the 2 Hz EA and 100 Hz EA groups, the changes for migraine attacks and days of headache were higher significantly when compared with that in the sham-stimulation group at the same time stage (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between two EA groups. (2) Changes of VAS score: In the 2 Hz EA and 100 Hz EA groups, the changes of VAS score were significantly higher when compared with that in the sham-stimulation group at the same time stage (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between two EA groups. (3) Assessment of anxiety and depression: The differences in the changes of SAS and SDS scores had no statistical significance in patients of each group at each assessment stage (P > 0.05). (4) Assessment on the quality of life: Compared with the sham-stimulation group at the same time stage, the improvement in MSQ score was increased significantly during treatment in patients of the 2 Hz EA and 100 Hz groups (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between two EA groups. (5) Assessment on safety and compliance: The patients of each group had sound compliance. There was no adverse events during trial, suggesting promising safety of treatment.ConclusionEA may effectively reduce the migraine attacks, and the days and intensity of headache, presenting promising safety. However, there was no significant improvement on anxiety-depression symptoms, and no significant difference between high and low frequencies of EA treatment in relieving headache and anxiety/depression symptoms in the patients with migraine.Trial registrationChiCTR1800017259     

桃红四物汤抗癫痫作用机制研究

目的研究桃红四物汤的抗癫痫作用机制。方法建立戊四氮(PTZ)点燃大鼠癫痫模型,随机分为对照组、模型组和桃红四物汤低、中、高剂量组。桃红四物汤剂量分别为0.7、1.4、2.1 g/kg,给药体积为10 m L/kg,每日ig给药1次,连续给药2周。给药第0、14天观察大鼠癫痫发作程度。给药结束处死大鼠,伊文思蓝(EB)法测定血脑屏障通透性,Western blotting法和免疫荧光法测定脑组织及不同部位3种紧密连接蛋白:闭锁连接蛋白-1(ZO-1)、基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)、Occludin蛋白表达水平。结果高、中、低剂量桃红四物汤可显著降低大鼠癫痫发作程度和血脑屏障通透性(P0.01)。低剂量桃红四物汤可显著升高大鼠脑组织皮层、海马及纹状体的MMP-9表达水平(P0.05);中、高剂量桃红四物汤可显著升高大鼠脑组织ZO-1、MMP-9、Occludin表达水平(P0.05、0.01)。结论桃红四物汤可显著减轻癫痫发作程度,作用机制可能与降低血脑屏障通透性及升高脑组织紧密连接蛋白表达水平有关。

补肾中药有效成分对SAMP8小鼠氧化应激水平的影响

[目的]观察补肾中药有效成分补骨脂素、齐墩果酸、淫羊藿苷对快速老化(SAMP8)小鼠氧化应激水平的影响。[方法]选取9月龄雄性SMAP8小鼠,采用随机数字表法随机分为补骨脂素组、齐墩果酸组、淫羊藿苷组及模型组。同时另取同龄段的抗快速衰老亚系1(SAMR1)小鼠作为对照组。治疗组分别给予补骨脂素(50 mg/kg)、齐墩果酸(50 mg/kg)、淫羊藿苷(20 mg/kg)灌胃,对照组与模型组均给予等量的生理盐水灌胃,每次0.3 m L,每日1次,连续灌胃4周后断头取脑。采用酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)法检测SMAP8小鼠大脑皮质中谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)的含量。[结果]SMAP8小鼠大脑皮质中SOD、CAT和GSH-Px活性较同龄SAMR1小鼠明显降低,模型组大脑皮质SOD、CAT和GSH-Px活性均低于对照组,经4周治疗后,治疗组大脑皮质中SOD、CAT和GSH-Px活性均高于模型组,对于以上指标,补骨脂素、齐墩果酸、淫羊藿苷3种组间比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。[结论]补肾中药对SAMP8的氧化应激损伤具有一定保护作用,从而可以达到防治老年性痴呆的作用。     

基于RhoA/ROCK-1通路研究针刺干预SHR脑保护作用机制

[目的] 明确自发性高血压大鼠（SHR）脑损害与RhoA、ROCK-1的相关性,探讨针刺干预SHR脑保护的Rho通路机制。[方法] 将SHR随机分为模型对照组、太冲穴组,WKY大鼠设为正常对照组。太冲穴组针刺干预4周,其余两组在干预期内给予相同程度、相同时长的抓取。观测各组大鼠收缩压、舒张压、平均动脉压的改变;苏木精-伊红（HE）染色观察脑组织形态学改变;蛋白免疫印迹（Western blot）法测定各组大鼠脑组织中RhoA、ROCK-1的表达水平。[结果] 在干预周期内,正常对照组收缩压、舒张压、平均压均处于正常血压范围内。与正常对照组比较,模型对照组收缩压、舒张压、平均压均较高,且有随着周龄增加而增高的趋势。与模型对照组相比,太冲穴组可有效降低收缩压,有降低舒张压、平均压的趋势。模型对照组较正常对照组脑组织细胞排列紊乱,细胞坏死及间质水肿程度加重,RhoA、ROCK-1表达升高;太冲穴组与模型对照组比较,脑细胞排列规则,细胞坏死及间质水肿消失,RhoA、ROCK-1表达下降。[结论] 针刺太冲穴能有效降低SHR血压,改善脑损害,其机制可能与抑制RhoA/ROCK-1信号通路表达相关。

培元通脑胶囊结合西医常规疗法治疗恢复期脑梗死的临床多中心随机对照研究

  目的：观察培元通脑胶囊结合西医常规疗法治疗恢复期脑梗死的临床疗效。  方法：采用多中心、随机对照方法,将200例恢复期脑梗死患者按1∶1比例分为对照组和治疗组,每组100例。对照组予西医常规疗法治疗,治疗组在对照组治疗基础上加用培元通脑胶囊口服,两组疗程均为1年。观察两组的死亡例数、脑梗死复发率;采用美国国立卫生研究院卒中评分量表(NIHSS)评价患者的神经功能缺损程度,采用Barthel指数(BI)评价患者的日常生活活动能力,采用改良Rankin评分(mRS)评价患者的残障程度。  结果：观察期间,治疗组死亡1例(死于急性心肌梗死)、复发10例(10.0%),对照组死亡2例(分别死于脑梗死继发肺部感染和心源性猝死)、复发16例(16.0%),两组的死亡例数、复发率比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗后,两组患者的NIHSS、mRS评分均降低(P<0.05),BI评分升高(P<0.05);且治疗组患者的NIHSS、mRS评分低于对照组(P<0.05),BI评分高于对照组(P<0.05)。  结论：结合培元通脑胶囊的脑血管病二级预防可明显减轻恢复期脑梗死患者的神经功能缺损,改善其日常生活活动能力,减轻残障程度。

A girl patient, seven years old, complaining intermittent periumbilical pain accompanied with headache and vomiting for almost one year. Acupuncture was adopted in treatment. Acupoints were Băihuì(百会GV20), Yìntáng (印堂EX-HN3), Zhōngwăn (中脘CV12), Tàiyáng (太阳EX-HN5), Wángŭ (完骨GB12), Hégŭ (合谷LI4), Tiānshū (天枢ST25), Zúsānlĭ (足三里ST36), Sānyīnjiāo (三阴交SP6) and Tàichōng (太冲LR3), electroacupuncture, warming needling moxibustion and infrared irradiation were applied. Acupuncture and moxibustion were given once every two days and 10 treatments were as one course. After one course of treatment, the child patient narrated that the attack frequency of headache and abdominal pain was reduced, the severity alleviated and the persistent duration shortened. After two courses of treatment, abdominal pain never occurred and the child patient was recovered and had a normal life and school activity. The disease was not recurred in one-year follow-up.
