| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To find out the relationship between acupuncture effect,acupoint and acupuncture duration.[Methods] The rat model of middle cerebral artery obstruction (MCAO) was established according to Zea-Longa. Then they were acupunctured by 60 times/ min for 5,60 and 180 seconds on the main acupoints of Shuigou DU26 and nonacupoint (below the costal region). Finally,the effect was estimated by measuring the rate of Zausinger neurobehavioral scores. [Results] The neurobehavioral scores had a elevated tendency in the non-acupunctured group (P>0.05),pointing out that there was a limited improvement on neurobehavioral scores of non-acupunctured MCAO rats after 72 hours. Compared with control group,no matter how long the duration was,Shuigou DU26 group did enhance the neurobehavioral scores (P<0.05),showing that Shuigou DU26 had a function on advancing neurobehavioral scores,displayed the specificity of the acupoint. Compared with control group,acupuncture duration of non-acupoint group could only achieve 60 or 180 seconds,the behavior was improved (P<0.05),showing that the improvement may not rely on the acupoint but also the duration. [Conclusion] Acupoint played an important role in the acupuncture effect; acupuncture duration was also a important influence factors in acupuncture effect,good acupuncture technique can remedy the improper location acupoint. |
