ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the intervention with electroacupuncture(EA) through regulating protein kinase(MAPK/ERK) pathway for cerebral ischemia rats.Methods SD rats were randomized into pseudo-operation group,model group and EA group.And the three groups were divided into 2-hour,one-day and 3-day subgroups according to the observation time.Focal cerebral ischemia(FCI) rat models were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) with heat-coagulation method.EA group received EA on Baihui(GV20) and Dazhui(GV14),qd,for 2 hours,one day and 3 days respectively.The learning and memory abilities of the rats in Y maze test and their neuroethological score were observed.Immunohistochemical method was used to observe the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase(p-ERK) after ischemia in CA1 area and CA3 area.Results In the model group,the neuroethological score was markedly increased,time for arriving the safe area in Y maze was prolonged(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the influence of psychological intervention on therapeutic effect of massage therapy for fibromyalgia syndrome(FMS).Methods Sixty-eight FMS patients were equally randomized into the treatment group and the control group.The two groups were given massage therapy and oral use of amitriptyline tablets,and the treatment group received psychological intervention additionally.The therapeutic effect was evaluated with Visual Analogic Scale(VAS) and Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD).Results After treatment,9 were clinically cured,12 markedly effective,10 effective,2 ineffective and the total effective rate was 93.9% in the treatment group;in the control group,3 were clinically cured,8 markedly effective,13 effective,8 ineffective and the total effective rate was 75.0%;the difference between the two groups was significant(P
