Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of acupuncture on rat model with damp-heat syndrome.MethodsThe combined use of high fat diet,damp-heat environment and infection of bacillus coli was adopted to establish rat models with damp-heat syndrome.A 10-day acupuncture treatment was given to the models.Results Changes can be found in both symptoms and signs of the model rat,which were held to meet the features of damp-heat syndrome.Moreover,abnormity can be found in the expression of the whole blood viscosity [(2.95 ±0.18)、(3.31±0.20)、(9.52±0.53)]mPa ? s,the expression of SOD and MDA of the blood serum and the skin [(4.21 ± 0.3)、(8.51 ± 0.42)]mPa ? s and [( 1.35 ± 0.16)、(1.26 ± 0.20)]mPa ? s.under high,medium and low shear rate.And improvements can be found in the expression of the whole blood viscosity [(2.70± 0.15)、(2.98 ±0.27)、(8.93 ± 0.80)]mPa ? s,the expression of SOD and MDA of the blood serum and the skin [(4.52 ± 0.26)、(7.00 - 0.62)]mPa ? s,[( 1.49 ± 0.12)、( 1.05 ± 0.24)]mPa ? s under high,medium and low shear rate.Conclusion Acupuncture at Yinlingquan (SP9) and Neiting (ST44) can improve the high blood viscosity situation of rat model with damp-heat syndrome,and enhance the ability of the body to eliminate hyperoxide as well.
