耳甲电针对冷应激大鼠脂蛋白代谢的调节作用

ObjectiveTo explore whether auricular concha eletroacupuncture (ACEA) is effective in regulating lipid-lipoprotein metabolism in rats submitted to cold stress.MethodsThirty-six adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were placed in four groups(9 rats in each group), the rats in three groups of which were submitted to cold stress for fourteen days, the last one of which was a control group. After the cold stress process, in those three groups, the rats of one group were with no treatment (stress only), two were treated with either ACEA or auricular margin eletroacupuncture (AMEA) repeated for fourteen days. On the 14th day, all the rats were sacrificed after all experimental procedure for blood sampling. Blood glucose, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were tested by using the collected serum. Plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) was measured with ELISA kit.ResultsACEA down-regulated the TG level (P < 0.05) and LDL-C level (P < 0.05), and up-regulated HDL-C level (P < 0.05) and LACT level (P < 0.05). AMEA did not regulate the bio-markers.ConclusionACEA played an important role in regulating lipid-lipoprotein metabolism in rats submitted to cold stress.

耳甲电针治疗功能性消化不良的临床效果

目的:观察耳甲电针治疗功能性消化不良的疗效。方法:选取2018年6月至2019年5月北京同仁医院收治的功能性消化不良患者90例作为研究对象,按照随机数字表法分为对照组和观察组,每组45例,对照组采用对照刺激,观察组采用耳甲电针刺激,所有患者治疗前后均使用功能性消化不良主要症状评分表、功能性消化不良生命质量量表(FDDQL)、汉密尔顿焦虑量表(HAMA)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评估患者症状的严重程度,并参照功能性消化不良中医诊疗专家共识意见和功能性消化不良中西医结合诊疗共识意见的疗效评估方法,对比分析观察组与对照组治疗功能性消化不良的疗效。结果:观察组和对照组治疗前主要症状评分表、功能性消化不良生命质量量表(FDDQL)、汉密尔顿焦虑量表(HAMA)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)、抑郁自评量表(SDS)差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),治疗后观察组症状及量表评分与对照组差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组治疗有效率82.22%,对照组治疗有效率57.78%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:耳甲电针对于功能性消化不良的各项症状具有较好的疗效。     

“干针”的由来

笔者通过对现已发表的涉及"干针"的中文文献进行整理,观察到现有文章或是侧重"干针与针灸之争"的热点报道,或着眼"肌筋膜理论"探讨"干针"的作用机制或临床应用,但尚无对"干针"由来的论述。另有涉及其起源的部分文章,均一带而过,无详细阐述。"干针"最先是作为对照组的一种刺激方法而设立,本文通过梳理"干针"起源的背景,以反思"干针"与针刺的关系。

经皮耳迷走神经刺激干预功能性消化不良模型大鼠的效应及机制研究

ObjectiveTo explore the effect and its possible mechanism of the intervention of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) for the functional dyspepsia (FD) model rats.MethodsOf the 25 male SD rats, 6 rats were set as blank group, the other 19 rats were established to be the functional dyspepsia (FD) model by iodoacetamide intragastric administration, and 18 FD models were successfully established. The 18 model rats were randomly divided into a model group, a sham-taVNS group, and taVNS group, with 6 rats in each group. There was no intervention applied to the rats in the blank and model groups. Whereas, the rats in sham-taVNS group received stimulation to the rim of auricular concha of both sides, and those in taVNS group received stimulation to the cavity of auricular concha of both sides, for 30 min each time, once a day, 7 days in succession. After the intervention, the gastric sensitivity of the rats in each group under different pressure conditions in the stomach, the expressions of serum brain-gut peptide motilin (MTL), cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-likepeptide1 (GLP-1), and inflammatory factors IL-4, IL-10, and IL-1β were detected.Results(1) Gastric sensitivity: compared with the blank group, the gastric sensitivity of the model group was higher (P <0.05). Compared with the model group, the gastric sensitivity of the taVNS group was lower (P < 0.05). Compared with the sham-taVNS group, the gastric sensitivity of the taVNS group was lower (P <0.05).(2) Expression of brain-gut peptide: compared with the blank group, MTL was lower, CCK and GLP-1 were higher in the model group (all P <0.05). Compared with the model group, MTL was higher, CCK and GLP-1 were lower in the taVNS group (all P <0.05). Compared with the sham-taVNS group, CCK and GLP-1 were lower in the taVNS group (both P<0.05). (3)Expression of inflammatory factors: compared with the blank group, IL-4 and IL-10 were lower and IL-1β was higher in the model group (all P <0.05). Compared with the model group, IL-10 was higher and IL-1β was lower in the sham-taVNS group (all P <0.05), while IL-4 and IL-10 were higher and IL-1β was lower in the taVNS group (all P <0.05). Compared with the sham-taVNS group, IL-4 and IL-10 were higher and IL-1β was lower in the taVNS group (all P <0.05).ConclusionTaVNS can reduce the gastric sensitivity of FD model rats by peripheral anti-inflammatory action and regulating the abnormal secretion of brain-gut peptide.     

太极拳和八段锦缓解慢性疼痛机制的研究进展

中医非药物疗法的太极拳和八段锦导引法,具有疏通经络、活血化瘀、宁心安神的作用,可有效缓解慢性疼痛。以肌纤维痛、慢性腰痛和骨关节炎为例,分析太极拳和八段锦对慢性疼痛患者痛感觉和痛情绪的缓解作用,探讨这两种功法通过肢体局部拉伸激活深部组织感觉传入的镇痛机制,认为其可通过促进交感-副交感的平衡发挥广泛的神经内分泌免疫调节作用,并可能通过干预与情绪和压力相关的脑区缓解痛情绪。     

睾丸及附睾炎性病变体表牵涉痛与穴位敏化形成的联系

目的:观察睾丸及附睾炎性病变患者体表牵涉痛分布区与治疗该类疾病相关穴位的关系,通过动物实验进一步对比相关内脏器官体表敏化区与穴位的关系。方法:临床研究部分将93例睾丸、附睾炎患者临床体查确定的体表痛敏点进行总结分析,将其分布部位与临床治疗该类疾病常用穴位进行对比;动物实验部分观察雄性SD睾丸炎模型大鼠(n=8)、对照组(n=3)注射伊文思蓝(Evans Blue)后体表渗出点,与临床痛敏点和相关穴位对比。结果:临床观察93例睾丸、附睾炎患者体表痛敏点大多分布在下腹部及下肢内侧,腰部及会阴部也有部分分布,痛敏点分布范围与大部分治疗该类疾病常用穴位所处位置在同一区域,并有部分重叠;动物实验观察到体表Evans Blue渗出点与临床痛敏点分布情况高度相似。结论:睾丸、附睾炎性病变引发的体表痛敏点多数与治疗该类疾病的相关穴位所处位置重叠或邻近,提示这些疾病状态下的体表敏化点可能是穴位形成的主要原因。
