Abstract:
Objective To study the mechanism of acupuncture combined with herb decoction for brain occlusion. Methods one-side middle cerebral artery occlusion (McAo) rat by ehermoregulation was used as focal cerebral ischemia experimental animal. All animals were divided into four groups as model group, acupuncture group, herb decoction group, acupuncture combined with herb decoction group. And the dynamic changes of c-fos protein in ischemia region of brain tissue after treatment were observed. Results All of acupuncture group, herb decoction group and combining group could enhance the expression of c-fos protein in all stages of ischemia, and combining group was enhanced significantly. Conclusion Compared with herb decoction or acupuncture, the method of acupuncture combined with herb decoction could improved the stress ability of nerve cells of acute brain ischemia by enhance the content of c-fos protein significantly.
