艾灸抗炎免疫作用的实验观察与分析

本实验建立大鼠佐剂性关节炎动物模型,观察艾克“肾俞”穴区的抗炎免疫作用。结果显示：灸疗能减轻局部炎症反应,消退足跖肿胀,使跖围减小;能预防或减轻多发性关节炎,维持体重,缩短病程。免疫功能观察表明,艾灸能恢复和促进ConA诱导的脾淋巴细胞增殖反应,促进IL－2的产生,降低IL－1的含量。以上指标与对照组比较均有非常显著差异。实验表明,艾灸有直接的抗炎消肿作用,并通过提高免疫应答水平,催化、激活和调整免疫功能,增强机体的抗炎免疫能力,起到抗炎免疫和抗变态反应的作用。

Studies on Anti-Inflammatory and Immune Effects of Moxibustion

An animal model of adjuvant arthritis in rats was established. and the effccts of anti-inflammatory and immune regulation of moxibustion at "Shenshu" point were investigated. The results showed that i+ could lighten a local inflammatory reaction. eliminate swelling of the metatarsal and reduce it's girth, prevent or reduce the polyarthritises. maintain the weight and shorten the course of the disease. The results also showed that moxibustion could recover and promote the effects of the Concanavalin A (ConA) inducing splenic lymphocyte proliferation in rats, promote interleukin 2 (IL-2) production, decrease IL-1 contents. The indexes mentioned above were significantly different as compared with contral group. Above results indicated thpt moxibustion had directly anti-inflammatory and subsidence of swelling effects, through enhancing the ahility of immune response the immune functions were lightened and regulated. Therefore. the anti-inflammatory and immune and anti-allergy effects of body were enhanced.
