Abstract:
Objective:To observe the impacts of herb-partitioned moxibustion,warm moxibustion and electroacupuncture on the basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and collagen type Ⅰ(Col Ⅰ)in colons of rats with Crohn' disease(CD),and discuss the mechanism of acupuncture therapy on the intestinal fibrosis in CD.Methods:The model rats were developed by TNBS as multiple proinflammatory method.The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:a normal group,a model group,a warm moxibustion group,an electroacupuncture group and a herb-partitioned moxibustion group.The treatments were carried out at Tianshu(ST 25)(bilateral)and Qihai(CV 6)in different treatments.The immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression position of Col Ⅰ and bFGF.Results:The expressions of Col Ⅰ and bFGF in colons of rots in the model group significantly increased(compared with the normal group,P<0.01).After the herb-partitioned moxibustion,warm moxibustion and electroacupuncture,the expressions of Col Ⅰ and bFGF reduced markedly in the rats with CD(P<0.01).The expression of bFGF and Col Ⅰ in the colons had an obvious correlation in the Spearman rank correlation analysis.Conclusion:Acupuncture treatment reduced the abnormally high levels of expressions for Col Ⅰ and bFGF in colons.Col Ⅰ and bFGF participated in the fibrosis.Acupuncture treatment may reduce the bFGF expression in colons to regulate the excessive deposition,treating the intestinal fibrosis in CD.
