- Abstract: Objective To observe the consistency of the effect directions of electroacupuncture(EA)at the"Ciliao"(BL32)and EA on the auricular concha(AC)in regulating intragastric pressure(IGP)and heart rate variability(HRV),and to observe whether the combined EA of"Ciliao"(BL32)and AC has a synergistic effect.Methods SD male rats were divided into EA-AC group,EA-BL32 group and EA-"AC+BL32"group,with 8 rats in each group.And the IGP and HRV were measured before and during EA(30 Hz,2 mA,pluse width 0.2 ms±30%,continuous wave)for 2 min in each group.Results ①Changes in IGP compared with before EA:the IGP in EA-AC group significantly increased especially during the 30th to 60th(P<0.05)and 60th to 90th second of EA(P<0.05);The IGP in EA-BL32 group significantly increased especially during the 60th to 90th second of EA(P<0.05);The IGP in EA-"AC+BL32"group significantly increased especially during the 60th to 90th(P<0.01)and 90th to 120th second of EA(P<0.05).The change rate of IGP of EA-"AC+BL32"group was significantly higher than that of the EA-AC group especially during the 60th to 90th(P<0.01)and 90th to 120th second of EA(P<0.01),and EA-BL32 group especially during the 60th to 90th(P<0.05)and 90th to 120th second of EA(P<0.05).②Changes in HRV compared with before EA:the high frequency(HF)significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.05),low frequency(LF)significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.05),and very low frequency(VLF)significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05)throughout the EA in EA-AC group;The HF significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05),LF significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05),and VLF significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05)throughout the EA in EA-BL32 group;The HF significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.05),LF significantly increased(P<0.001,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.01),and VLF significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.05)throughout the EA in EA-"AC+BL32"group.The LF/HF in EA-AC group significantly decreased especially during the 0 to 30th(P<0.01),30th to 60th(P<0.05)and 60th to 90th second of EA(P<0.05);The LF/HF in EA-BL32 group significantly decreased especially during the 0 to 30th second of EA(P<0.05);The LF/HF in EA-"AC+BL32"group significantly decreased especially during the 30th to 60th(P<0.05),60th to 90th(P<0.01)and 90th to 120th second of EA(P<0.01).The change rate of LF/HF of EA-"AC+BL32"group was significantly lower than that of the EA-AC group especially during the 90th to 120th second of EA(P<0.05),and EA-BL32 group especially during the 60th to 90th(P<0.05)and 90th to 120th second of EA(P<0.05).Conclusion The effect direction of EA at"Ciliao"(BL32)and EA on the AC in regulating the vagus nerve is basically the same,and the combined EA of"Ciliao"(BL32)and AC can produce a synergistic effect.
