头针对脑梗塞患者血清肿瘤坏死因子的影响

目的　观察头针对急性脑梗塞患者血清肿瘤坏死因子的影响。方法　将 62例急性脑梗塞患者随机分成针刺组与对照组 ,采用酶联免疫法进行针前与针后的 TNF的血清测定及依上田敏法进行肢体功能评定。结果　两组病例疗程结束后血清 TNF均有下降 ,但针刺组下降明显 ,有显著性差异 ( P<0 .0 1)。肢体功能评定显示 ,针刺组 15 d后肢体功能明显提高 ,针刺前后有明显差异 ( P<0 .0 5 )。而对照组经一般治疗 15 d后肢体功能无明显差异。结论　急性脑梗塞早期进行头针治疗能降低血清 TNF含量 ,促进脑组织的恢复 ,加强肢体功能恢复

Influence of Scalp Acupuncture on Serum Tumor Necrosis Factor in Patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction

Purpose To observe the influence of scalp acupuncture on serum tumor necrosis factor in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Sixty cases of acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a non acupuncture group. Enzyme linked immunoassay was used to measure serum TNF before and after acupuncture and evaluate limb function. Results Serum TNF dropped in both the groups after the treatment was finished, but it did markedly in the acupuncture group and there was a significant difference ( P <0.01). The evaluation of limb function showed that it improved markedly in the acupuncture group after 15 days and there was a significant difference between before and after acupuncture ( P <0.05), while it did not in the control group 15 days after general treatment. Conclusion Scalp acupuncture in the early stage of acute cerebral infarction can decrease serum TNF content and promote the recovery of brain tissues and limb function.
