针刺对肾血管性高血压大鼠的降压效应

目的　探讨针刺对肾血管性高血压大鼠的降压作用及其神经 -内分泌调节机制。方法　采用二肾一夹法制备高血压大鼠模型 ,测定实验各组大鼠血浆内皮素 (ET)、一氧化氮 (NO)含量和心率变异性 (HRV)的动态变化。结果　与模型组相比 ,针刺组血压 (BL 2 3:19.1± 1.1k Pa,ST36:18.1± 2 .5 k Pa)及 ET水平明显下降 (P<0 .0 1) ,其中针刺肾俞组血浆 ET水平 (91.3± 9.45 pg/ ml)较足三里组 (10 8.48± 13.0 6pg/ ml)下降更明显 (P<0 .0 5 ) ;针刺治疗组血浆 NO水平 (BL 2 3:5 0 .3±12 .7μmol/ ml,ST 36:49.71± 8.49μm ol/ m l)显著升高 (P<0 .0 5 )。足三里组针刺后 L F/ HF比值与模型组无明显差异 ,而肾俞组 L F/ HF值 (0 .5 7± 0 .13)明显低于模型组及足三里组 (0 .86± 0 .2 5 )。结论　针刺能降低肾血管性高血压模型大鼠动脉血压 ,肾俞与足三里两穴无明显差异 ,其作用机制可能与自主神经系统、NO及 ET参与的神经内分泌调节作用相关。     

电针对血管性痴呆大鼠学习记忆能力及脑组织中自由基生成系统的影响

目的：观察电针对实验性血管性痴呆（VD）大鼠学习记忆能力和自由基生成系统的调节作用。方法：选用4－VO模型，用Morris水这宫测定大鼠学习记忆能力，并检测脑组织一氧化氮（NO）、一氧化合酶（NOS）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、丙二醛（MDA)及谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶（GSH－Px）的含量或活性。结果：模型大鼠表现出明显的学习记忆障碍，在定位航行实验中，与假手术组相比，逃避潜伏期显著延长，在空间探索试验中，在原平台象限跨越平台次数明显高于其余3个象限。电针组能显著缩短逃避潜伏期，在原平台象限跨越平台次数显著多于其余3个象限，与假手术组无显著差异。模型大鼠脑组织内NOS活性及NO、MDA含量明显升高，SOD、GSH－Px活性显著降低，与假手术组、电针组及尼莫通组相比均差异显著（P＜0．05）或非常显著（P＜0．01）；这说明电针组与尼莫通组不同程度地降低了脑组织中NOS、NO、MDA含量，提高了SOD、GSH－Px活性。结论：电针对自由基产生与清除的平衡有调控作用，能减轻缺血对脑神经细胞的损害，从而改善VD大鼠学习记忆能力。     

针刺对大脑功能的影响

本文综述了近10年应用电生理和影像方法研究针刺与大脑功能的文献，认为观察结果的多样性说明了针刺治疗的双向性。在今后的研究中，应综合运用多种方法，以准确阐明大脑在针刺后的时空变化。     

针刺对糖尿病大鼠坐骨神经过度非酶性糖基化的调节

目的　神经蛋白的非酶性糖基化水平异常升高是糖尿病神经病变的重要病理机制之一 ,本文旨在探讨针刺防治糖尿病神经病变的疗效是否与改善坐骨神经蛋白非酶性糖基化水平有关。方法　将腹腔注射链脲佐菌素造成血糖高于 16.7m m ol/ L 的糖尿病大鼠分为模型对照组、针刺治疗组和胰岛素治疗组 ,另设正常组 ,每组 6-7只。造模四周末开始治疗 ,针刺组隔日治疗 1次 ;胰岛素组每天皮下注射胰岛素 ( 4U/ 10 0 g) ,共治疗 2个月。其间动态监测血糖 ,并采用竞争性 AGE EL ISA法测定坐骨神经中 AGEs含量。结果　在造模 6周末 ,针刺组和胰岛素组大鼠的空腹血糖水平比模型组略有降低 ,没有统计学意义 ,而在 12星期末均比模型组明显降低 ( P<0 .0 5 ) ;模型组坐骨神经 A GEs水平为 0 .34 6± 0 .0 5 9U/ ml,比正常组( 0 .197± 0 .0 2 7U/ ml)明显升高 ,而针刺组 ( 0 .170± 0 .0 2 7U/ m l)和胰岛素组 ( 0 .194± 0 .0 34 U/ ml)均比模型组明显降低 ( P<0 .0 5 ) ,与正常组相比无统计学差异 ( P>0 .0 5 )。结论　在糖尿病的早期给与针刺或胰岛素治疗可以防止坐骨神经 AGEs含量的异常增加和积聚 ,使之接近正常水平。说明电针可以通过遏制 AGEs的形成和积聚 ,达到防治糖尿病神经病变的发生发展

A precise and accurate acupoint location obtained on the face using consistency matrix pointwise fusion method

OBJECTIVE: To develop a more precise and accurate method, and identified a procedure to measure whether an acupoint had been correctly located.METHODS: On the face, we used an acupoint location from different acupuncture experts and obtained the most precise and accurate values of acupoint location based on the consistency information fusion algorithm, through a virtual simulation of the facial orientation coordinate system.RESULTS: Because of inconsistencies in each acupuncture expert’s original data, the system error could not be modified using the characteristics ofthe general weight calculation. First, we corrected each expert of acupoint location system error itself,to obtain a rational quantification for each expert of acupuncture and moxibustion acupoint location consistent support degree, to obtain pointwise variable precision fusion results, to put every expert’s acupuncture acupoint location fusion error enhanced to pointwise variable precision. Then, we more effectively used the measured characteristics of different acupuncture expert’s acupoint location, to improve the measurement information utilization efficiency and acupuncture acupoint location precision and accuracy.CONCLUSION: Based on using the consistency matrix pointwise fusion method on the acupuncture experts’ acupoint location values, each expert’s acupoint location information could be calculated, and the most precise and accurate values of each expert’s acupoint location could be obtained.
