OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of moxibustion on the expression of phosphorylated calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱα(pCaMKⅡα) and neuronal nuclei (NeuN) and the ability of learning and memory in the neonatal mice model of hypoxic-ischemia encephalopathy(HIE), so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of learning and memory. METHODS ICR mice (aged 7 days) were randomly divided into sham operation, model and moxibustion groups. HIE model was induced by ligation of the right common carotid artery combined with hypoxia in a closed transparent chamber. Mice in the moxibustion group were treated with gentle moxibustion at "Dazhui"(GV14) for 35 min,once daily for 3 consecutive days. The pathological changes of brain tissues were observed with the naked eyes and under microscope after H.E. staining, respectively. The expressions of pCaMKⅡα and NeuN in the ischemic penumbra were examined by immunofluorescent staining, and the learning and memory ablility was tested with Morris maze. RESULTS No infarcts were found in the brain tissue of the mice in the sham operation group. Compared with the sham operation group, mice in the model group had infarcts and the expression of pCaMKⅡα and NeuN in the ischemic penumbra was significantly reduced (P<0.01), and the latency to find a platform was significantly prolonged in Morris maze test (P<0.01). After moxibustion, in comparison with the model group showed that, small areas of infarction were seen in the right hemisphere of the moxibustion group, and the expressions of pCaMKⅡα, NeuN increased significantly (P<0.01), and the latency to find a platform was significantly shortened (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Moxibustion can improve the ability of learning and memory in the neonatal mice with HIE, which might be related to alleviating brain injury and increasing the expression of pCaMKⅡα in neurons of ischemic brain tissues.

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion at "Zhongwan" (CV 12) on serum growth hormone (GH) and pepsinogen (PG) in chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) rats, and to explore the potential mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion for CAG. METHODS A total of 66 male SD rats were randomized into a blank group (12 rats) and a model establishment group (54 rats). No intervention was given in the blank group. Rats in the model establishment group were intervented with compound pathogeny method for 12 weeks to establish CAG model, which were further divided into a model group (11 rats), a vitacoenzyme group (11 rats) and a moxibustion group (22 rats). In the moxibustion group, suspending moxibustion was applied at "Zhongwan" (CV 12) for 40 min. After the intervention of moxibustion, 0.9% sodium chloride solution was given by gavage (2 mL·kg-1·d-1). According to the changes of tail temperature, rats in the moxibustion group were divided into a heat-sensitive moxibustion group (11 rats) and a non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group (8 rats). The vitacoenzyme group was given vitacoenzyme as the same dose by gavage. The intervention was adopted once a day for 28 days. Changes of body weight were observed among the groups. Expressions of serum GH, PGⅠand PGⅡwere detected by ELISA, and the ratio of PGⅠand PGⅡ (PGR) was calculated. The morphological changes of gastric mucosa were observed by macroscopy and light microscope. RESULTS ①After modeling, the body weight of rats in the model establishment group was lower than the blank group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the body weight of rats in the vitacoenzyme group, the heat-sensitive moxibustion group and the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group was increased after intervention (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences among the intervention groups (P>0.05). ②Under macroscopy and light microscope, gastric tissue of rats after modeling showed dark red and pale gastric mucosa, lower plica and mucosal congestion. The glands of lamina propria were atrophied or disappeared with sparse and disordered arrangement, in which, lymphoid follicles and inflammatory cells could be observed. After intervention, morphology of gastric mucosa was improved in the vitacoenzyme group, the heat-sensitive moxibustion group and the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group. ③Compared with the blank group, the serum levels of GH, PGⅠ, PGⅡ and PGR were decreased in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum levels of GH, PGⅠand PGⅡwere increased in the vitacoenzyme group, the heat-sensitive moxibustion group and the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group (P<0.05, P<0.01), the levels of PGR were increased without statistical difference (P>0.05). Compared with the vitacoenzyme group and the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group, the serum levels of GH and PGⅠwere increased in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Heat-sensitive moxibustion at "Zhongwan" (CV 12) can improve the morphology of gastric mucosa in chronic atrophic gastritis rats, its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of serum GH and PGⅠ.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of heat-sensitive moxibustion on corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and corticosterone (CORT) in rats with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and to explore the possible mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion on IBS. METHODS:According to random number table, 56 SD male rats were randomly divided into a blank group (n=8), a model group (n=8), a moxibustion group (n=32), and a mifepristone group (RU-486 group, n=8). The rats in the blank group were treated with normal feeding; the rats in the model group, RU-486 group and moxibustion group were treated with chronic non-predictable stimulation for 21 days to establish IBS model. After model establishment, the rats in the moxibustion group were treated with moxibustion at "Mingmen" (GV 4) for 40 min, once a day for 14 days; the tail temperature was recorded every 5 min; according to the change of tail temperature, the rats were divided into a heat-sensitive moxibustion group and a non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group, and 8 rats were randomly selected in the two groups. The rats in the RU-486 group were treated with gastric administration of RU-486 for 14 days, while the rats in the blank group, model group and moxibustion groups were treated with identical volume of 0.9% NaCl. The rat general condition, body mass, behavioristics, intestinal propulsive rate and visceral sensitivity were observed in each group; ELISA method was used to detect serum CRH, ACTH and CORT; optical microscope was applied to observe the morphological changes of colon. RESULTS:(1) After model establishment, rats were in rest state, fatigued, with withered hair and dim ear; the stool was dry or watery; the body mass were slowly increased; the number of crossed grid and standing frequency were significantly reduced; visceral sensitivity was increased and intestinal propulsion rate was decreased; no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration was observed under microscope. (2) After intervention, compared with the blank group, the body mass and visceral sensitivity in the RU-486 group were not significantly different (both P>0.05), but the intestinal propulsion rate was decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, the body mass of heat-sensitive moxibustion group and non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group was lower (both P<0.01), but the visceral sensitivity and intestinal propulsion rate were similar (both P>0.05). Compared with the model group, the body mass and visceral sensitivity were improved in the RU-486 group (P<0.05, P<0.01), but the intestinal propulsion rate was similar (P>0.05). The body mass, visceral sensitivity and intestinal propulsion rate of the heat-sensitive moxibustion group and the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group were superior to those of the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the body mass and intestinal propulsion rate of heat-sensitive moxibustion group were superior to those of non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group (both P<0.05). (3) After intervention, compared with the blank group, the contents of CRH, ACTH and CORT in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the contents of CRH, ACTH and CORT of the heat-sensitive moxibustion group were statistically reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the contents of CRH and ACTH in the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group were statistically reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01); the content of CRH in the RU-486 group was reduced (P<0.05), but the contents of ACTH and CORT were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the non-heat-sensitive moxibustion group, the heat-sensitive moxibustion group was better in the improvement of CRH (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference of ACTH and CORT between the two groups (both P>0.05). CONCLUSION:Heat-sensitive moxibustion could reduce the contents of CRH, ACTH and CORT through the HPA axis, and improve the function of gastrointestinal motility to treat IBS.

Objective:To compare different moxibustion stimulation (heat-sensitive moxibustion stimulation vs non-heat-sensitive moxibustion stimulation) on Shangyintang acupoint in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.Methods:A total of 60 patients with allergic rhinitis were divided into heat-sensitive moxibustion and non-heat-sensitive moxibustion groups in accordance with their reactions to moxa-heat stimulation.Mild-warm moxibustion was distanced from skin 2-3cm and applied to bilateral Shangyintang acupoint for 45 minutes.The degree was warm but not hot.Moxibustion treatment was conducted once daily for 20 days.Patients with occurrence of heat-sensitivity being equal to and more than 3 times during the treatment were assigned to heat-sensitive group and those with occurrence of heat-sensitivity less than 3 times assigned to non-heat-sensitive group.The changes of clinical symptoms before and after treatment in two groups were observed.Results:The nasal symptoms scores of the two groups were lower than those before the treatment (P<0.05),and the heat-sensitive group was better than the non-heatsensitive group (P<0.05);the effective rate of the heat-sensitive group was 73.53%,compared with the non-heat-sensitive group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion:Heat-sensitive moxibustion is significantly better than nonheat-sensitive moxibustion in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.The emergence of the heat-sensitivity to moxibustion is the key to improve the curative effect of moxibustion therapy.
微透析采样技术(microdialysis sampling)是一种常用于科学实验的活体生物微量采样技术, 1972年首次应用于神经生化实验.该技术以小分子物质顺浓度梯度扩散特性作为理论基础,将一种具有透析作用的探针埋置于实验预采样的活体组织中,灌流液在透析探针导管中通过微量进样泵和控制器以特定速率进行推进,经过部分配有半透膜的探针和精密灌流体系对半透膜两边的物质进行互换(透析),通过灌流液收集系统来收集透析样本,微透析收集到的样品能够直接使用电化学、紫外、质谱等检测技术进行物质含量检测分析,可实现对灌流液中可溶性物质变化的连续监测.
