Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of music electroacupuncture on perifocal ferric ions and neuronal apoptosis and the brain water content in rats with acute cerebral hemorrhage and explore the mechanism of its action on acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods One hundred and twenty-eight healthy adult male Wister rats were randomized to normal, model, electroacupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups. In each group, four time points of 6 hrs, 24 hrs, 3 days and 7 days were set up, eight rats each time point. A rat model of acute cerebral hemorrhage was made using collagenase. In the electroacupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups, point Baihui was connected to the anode and point Taiyang to the cathode, 2 voltage was used as a selection parameter and electroacupuncture lasted 30 min. Intracerebral perifocal ferric ions and neuronal apoptosis and the brain water content were measured at four time points of 6 hrs, 24 hrs, 3 days and 7 days after model making.Results Intracerebral ferric ion content was higher in the model, electroacupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups of rats than in the normal group at 6 hrsafter model making (P<0.05), lower in the electroacupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups than in the model group at 24 hrs, 3 and 7 days after model making (P<0.05) and lower in the music electroacupuncture group than in the electroacupuncture group at 3 and 7 days after model making (P<0.05). Intracerebral neuronal apoptosis was higher in the model, electroacupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups of rats than in the normal group at 6 hrs after model making (P<0.05) and lower in the music electroacupuncture group than in the electro- acupuncture group at 7 days after model making (P<0.05). The brain water content was higher in the model, electro- cupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups of rats than in the normal group at 6 and 24 hrs after model making (P<0.05), lower in the electroacupuncture and music electroacupuncture groups than in the model group at 3 days after model making (P<0.05) and lower in the music electroacupuncture group than in the electroacupuncture group at 7 days after model making (P<0.05).Conclusions Music electroacupuncture has a benign regulating effect on intracerebral perifocal ferric ions, inhibits neuronal apoptosis around hematoma in the early stage and reduces cerebral edema in rats with acute cerebral hemorrhage. Its therapeutic effect is superior to that of electroacupuncture.
