关刺的理论探讨及临床研究概况

关刺出自《灵枢·官针》,临床应用广泛,后世多有发挥,也存在着不同的意见。通过对关刺文献的检索和梳理,从理论探讨和临床报道两方面进行综述,以供研究者参考。理论探讨以《灵枢·官针》对关刺的描述为中心而展开;后世医家又形成了对关刺的不同解释;关刺治疗筋痹能够达成共识,但是对筋痹的理解又有争鸣,不在此文讨论。临床研究选择两条主线对关刺的疗效进行验证:临床报道关刺治疗筋痹主要是用毫针直刺于关节肌腱、筋膜处,即是狭义的痹症;广义上的痹症,以肝主筋的理论而形成的筋痹运用关刺来治疗的报道鲜见,值得临床上进一步探索。     

小耳穴,大作用

除了人体经络腧穴,耳穴也常常被用来防治疾病。对耳穴稍有了解的人,或许会迷茫于诸多耳穴的名字,比如皮质下、子宫、扁桃体、外生殖器等。耳穴究竟是一个什么样的存在呢?提到穴位,一般都会认为它们沿着经络,分布在人体的头、躯干、四肢等部位。除此之外,耳部还分布有耳穴,是人体各部分生理、病理变化在耳郭上的反应点。     

温针灸和电针治疗脾虚型单纯性肥胖症的对照研究

目的:比较温针灸与电针治疗脾虚型单纯性肥胖症的疗效.方法:将68例脾虚型单纯性肥胖症(包括脾虚湿阻、肺脾气虚、脾肾阳虚3型)患者随机分成温针灸组(36例)、电针组(32例).两组取穴均以中脘、水分、气海、中极、天枢、水道等为主,对其疗效及体重指标进行观察.结果:温针灸组总有效率为88.9%,电针组为71.9%,两组比较差异有显著性意义(P<0.05);温针灸组与电针组肥胖体重下降差异亦有显著性意义(P<0.05).结论:温针灸治疗脾虚单纯性肥胖疗效确切且持久,值得推广.     

衰老相关动物模型的应用进展

随着人口老龄化成为全世界面临的共同问题,衰老的研究也日益成为焦点.衰老模型是在衰老相关研究中必然涉及的问题,目前可选择的衰老模型有多种,如自然衰老模型、D-半乳糖衰老模型、快速衰老小鼠等,涉及多种组织器官的衰老.选择恰当的衰老模型对研究衰老机理、筛选抗衰老确切疗法、选择延缓衰老的特效药物有事半功倍的作用.     

Influence of moxa smoke on mitochondrial transmembrane potential and Bax/Bcl-2 in alveolar type II epithelial A549 cells

Objective

To investigate the influence of moxibustion products on mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) and mRNA expression of Bax/Bcl-2 in alveolar type II epithelial A549 cells, and to further explore influence of moxibustion products on the oxidative damage of A549 cells.

Methods

Smoke and particles generated by moxibustion were collected using the filter box for gas sampling. The moxa smoke extract (MSE) was diluted sequentially to the final concentrations of 0.05 mg/mL, 0.1 mg/mL, 0.2 mg/mL, 0.3 mg/mL and 0.4 mg/mL using the cell culture medium, and A549 cells were then intervened by the above MSE solution. Cell MTP was detected by JC-1 staining. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA expression of A549 cells.

Results

Compared with cells in the normal control group, MTP was significantly decreased in cells of 0.3 mg/mL and 0.4 mg/mL MSE intervention groups (P<0.01); while MTP showed no significant changes in cells of 0.05 mg/mL, 0.1 mg/mL and 0.2 mg/mL MSE intervention groups (P>0.05); compared with cells in 0.05 mg/mL MSE intervention group, MTP was decreased significantly in cells of 0.1 mg/mL, 0.2 mg/mL, 0.3 mg/mL and 0.4 mg/mL MSE intervention groups (P<0.05 ); compared with cells in 0.1 mg/mL MSE intervention group, MTP was decreased significantly in cells of 0.4 mg/mL MSE intervention group (P<0.01). Bax mRNA expression of cells in each concentration of MSE intervention group all showed no significant difference compared to that in the normal control group; Bcl-2 mRNA expression of cells was reduced with the increase of MSE intervention concentration. Wherein, Bcl-2 mRNA expressions of cells in 0.4 mg/mL and 0.3 mg/mL MSE intervention groups were significantly reduced compared with that of cells in the normal control group (P<0.05); Bcl-2 mRNA expression of cells in 0.4 mg/mL MSE intervention group was significantly reduced compared to that in 0.05 mg/mL MSE intervention group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Certain higher concentration of moxa smoke could reduce MTP and mRNA expression of the anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2 in alveolar type II epithelial A549 cells. Oxidative damage may be the important mechanism of apoptosis caused by the high concentration of moxa smoke solution, and further studies are necessary on the specific mechanisms.
