    查看更多>>摘要:Numerous studies from different international groups have demonstrated that sensations can be propa-gated along acupuncture channel pathways.The propagated sensation along the channel pathway(PSCP)can be elicited by electroacupuncture(EA),transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS),manual acupuncture(MA),and heat applied to distal acupuncture points(acupoints).Nitric oxide(NO)levels were reported to be elevated in the gracile nucleus and skin regions near to the EA sites,with higher levels at acupoints associated with an enhanced expression of NO synthase and transient receptor poten-tial vanilloid type 1.The stimuli,EA,MA,TENS,and heat,have been used to elicit axonal reflexes,which increase local release of NO and neuropeptides such as calcitonin gene related peptide.Furthermore,the sensation of PSCP along the body surface occurs only ipsilaterally to the stimulated acupoints in various human studies,which does not support the involvement of the spinal-thalamic pathway,which would involve cross over transmission of the signals.The gracile nucleus receives ascending input from the sci-atic nerve and responds to somatosensory stimulation mainly on the ipsilateral side via the dorsal col-umn pathway.EA at Zusanli(ST36)increases NO release and expression of NO synthase mainly in the ipsilateral side of the gracile nucleus,while the cardiovascular effects and analgesic responses to EA at ST36 are changed by influences of L-arginine-derived NO synthesis in the ipsilateral gracile nucleus in rats.The stimuli-induced release of NOergic molecules and neuropeptides exist high levels in the acu-points,which contain rich neuronal components and blood vessels.Enhanced NOergic molecules at acu-points cause axon reflexes during the stimuli,which elevate cutaneous blood flow.Elevated NOergic molecules and local blood flow may spread over acupoints one after another along the meridian lines dif-fering from nerve pathways following the stimuli to induce PSCP.The same types of stimulation also elicit NO release in the gracile nucleus,which contributes to the somatosensory signal transduction of PSCP through the dorsal medulla-thalamic pathways.Other substances such as serotonin and catecholamines are proposed to mediate responses and certain effects of acupuncture-like stimulation but their mecha-nisms are poorly-understood.In this review we summarize the current understanding of the neurobio-logical processes of PSCP research with an emphasis on recent developments of NO mediating stimulation-evoked axon reflexes and somatosensory signal transduction for PSCP perceptions through the dorsal medulla-thalamic pathways.

    Unlocking the potential:How acupuncture reshapes the liver-centered lipid metabolism pattern to fight obesity

    查看更多>>摘要:Obesity,a widespread global health issue,is frequently linked to disrupted lipid metabolism,resulting in excessive accumulation of adipose tissue and associated health complications.Acupuncture,a traditional Chinese medical modality,has exhibited potential as a viable intervention for addressing obesity.The underlying mechanism proposed involves the stimulation of specific acupoints to exert a regulatory influ-ence on hepatic function.The liver has a central role in lipid metabolism,including processes such as lipid synthesis,storage and distribution.Acupuncture is believed to enhance the liver's efficiency in processing lipids,thereby reducing lipid accumulation and improving metabolic functions.Research indicates that acupuncture can influence the expression of certain genes and proteins involved in lipid metabolism in the liver.This includes upregulating genes that promote lipid breakdown and oxidation,and downreg-ulating those involved in lipid synthesis.Additionally,acupuncture has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity,which is crucial for the regulation of lipid metabolism.Furthermore,the potential anti-inflammatory effects of acupuncture may play a significant role in its efficacy for the treatment of obesity.The presence of chronic inflammation has been strongly associated with metabolic disorders such as obe-sity.Through its ability to mitigate inflammation,acupuncture can potentially aid in the restoration of lipid metabolism and the reduction of body weight.Moreover,the amelioration of hepatic oxidative stress represents another mechanism by which acupuncture may contribute to the reduction of lipid deposition.Notably,the liver,being the primary site of lipid metabolism,maintains communication with various organs including the brain,adipose tissue,skeletal muscle and intestines.This perspective opens new avenues for the treatment of obesity,emphasizing the importance of holistic approaches in manag-ing complex metabolic disorders.

    查看更多>>摘要:Background:Acupotomy,a more invasive procedure than acupuncture,involves the use of a thicker nee-dle with an integrated knife at the tip,necessitating safety research.We aimed to define relevant adverse events(AEs)and create a standardized form of the ACUPOtomy-related AEs CHECKlist(ACUPOCHECK).Methods:Before conducting the Delphi process,a systematic review and pilot prospective study were conducted to gather information on previously reported AEs.Using these data,pilot versions of the ACUPOCHECK and Delphi questionnaires were developed.The Delphi questionnaire involved selecting types of AE for inclusion,establishing separate criteria for acupotomy-related AEs,and achieving a con-sensus on AE assessment.Thirteen Korean doctors with experience in acupotomy or AE research were recruited to participate in each Delphi round.Consensus was considered to have been reached if the crit-ical value for the content validity ratio met or exceeded 0.538.Results:The final ACUPOCHECK was developed using four rounds of the Delphi method and one face-to-face consensus meeting.It included 12 local AEs(pain,hemorrhage,bruise,hematoma,edema,pruritus,rash,infection,nerve damage,dysesthesia,movement impairment,and pneumothorax)and 14 systemic AEs(disease aggravation,needle fatigue,sleepiness,procedural nausea,procedural vomiting,procedural headache,procedural dizziness,sweating,procedural shock,syncope,dyspnea,procedural pain,sleep dis-order,and postprocedural infection).Separate criteria were established for pain,hemorrhage and bruis-ing:pain was defined as pain that occurrs during daily activities and persists for longer than 72 h,hemorrhage as bleeding that continues for ≥ 3 min despite pressure application,and bruising as having a bruise with a diameter of ≥ 3 cm.Open-ended descriptions were allowed for AEs not covered by the checklist,and severity and causality were assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and modified World Health Organization-Uppsala Monitoring Center criteria.Conclusion:ACUPOCHECK provides a standardization framework that can help research on traditional practices as well as new tools and techniques that are more invasive and may cause more severe AEs.Subsequent studies will use ACUPOCHECK to develop rational safety guidelines for acupotomy tech-niques.

    Electroacupuncture activates AMPKα1 to improve learning and memory in the APP/PS1 mouse model of early Alzheimer's disease by regulating hippocampal mitochondrial dynamics

    查看更多>>摘要:Objective:Studies have shown that electroacupuncture(EA)can alleviate cognitive impairments from Alzheimer's disease(AD)by regulating the expression of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK),but the specific mechanism involved remains to be elucidated.Therefore,this study explores the potential mechanism by which EA improves cognitive function from the perspective of mito-chondrial dynamics.Methods:The four-month-old transgenic mice with amyloid precursor protein(APP)/presenilin 1(PS1)and AMPKα1-subunit conditional knockout(AMPKα1-cKO)were used for experiments.To evaluate the effects of EA treatment on cognitive function,the T-maze and Morris water maze were used.In addition,chemical exchange saturation transfer,thioflavin staining,transmission electron microscopy,mitochon-drial membrane potential,and Western blotting were used to examine the potential mechanisms under-lying the effects of EA on APP/PS1 mice.Results:Both APP/PS1 mice and AMPKα1-cKO mice exhibited dysfunction in mitochondrial dynamics accompanied by learning and memory impairment.Inactivation of the AMPK/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1 α)pathway increased pathological amyloid-β(Aβ)deposition and aggravated the dysfunction in mitochondrial dynamics.In addition,EA rescued learning and memory deficits in APP/PS1 mice by activating the AMPK/PGC-1α pathway,specifically by reducing pathological Aβ deposition,normalizing energy metabolism,protecting the structure and function of mitochondria,increasing the levels of mitochondrial fusion proteins,and downregulating the expression of fission pro-teins.However,the therapeutic effect of EA on cognition in APP/PS1 mice was hindered by AMPKα1 knockout.Conclusion:The regulation of hippocampal mitochondrial dynamics and reduction in Aβ deposition via the AMPK/PGC-1α pathway are critical for the ability of EA to ameliorate cognitive impairment in APP/PS1 mice.

    查看更多>>摘要:Objective:Atopic dermatitis(AD)is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that may be linked to changes in the gut microbiome.Acupuncture has been proven to be effective in reducing AD symptoms without seri-ous adverse events,but its underlying mechanism is not completely understood.The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the potential effect of acupuncture on AD is gut microbiota-dependent.Methods:AD-like skin lesions were induced by applying MC903 topically to the cheek of the mouse.Acupuncture was done at the Gok-Ji(LI11)acupoints.AD-like symptoms were assessed by lesion scores,scratching behavior,and histopathological changes;intestinal barrier function was measured by fecal output,serum lipopolysaccharide levels,histopathological changes,and mRNA expression of markers involved in intestinal permeability and inflammation.Gut microbiota was profiled using 16S rRNA gene sequencing from fecal samples.Results:Acupuncture effectively improved chronic itch as well as the AD-like skin lesions with epidermal thickening,and also significantly altered gut microbiota structure as revealed by β-diversity indices and analysis of similarities.These beneficial effects were eliminated by antibiotic depletion of gut microbiota,but were reproduced in gut microbiota-depleted mice that received a fecal microbiota transplant from acupuncture-treated mice.Interestingly,AD mice had intestinal barrier dysfunction as indicated by increased intestinal permeability,atrophy of the mucosal structure(reduced villus height and crypt depth),decreased expression of tight junctions and mucus synthesis genes,and increased expression of inflammatory mediators in the ileum.Acupuncture attenuated these abnormalities,which was gut microbiota-dependent.Conclusion:Acupuncture ameliorates AD-like phenotypes in a gut microbiota-dependent manner and some of these positive benefits are explained by modulation of the intestinal barrier,providing new per-spective for non-pharmacological strategies for modulating gut microbiota to prevent and treat AD.
