摘要:

研究已证实电针刺激上巨虚、天枢等穴能够改善大鼠内脏高敏感。实验采用结直肠球囊扩张法制备大鼠慢性内脏高敏感模型。应用免疫组化法检测肠易激综合征内脏高敏感大鼠背根神经节神经元中P2X2、P2X3受体表达。结果发现,内脏高敏感模型大鼠腹部撤回反射评分显著增高,即内脏敏感性升高,同时背根神经节神经元P2X2和P2X3受体异常增高;电针刺激双侧上巨虚和天枢后,内脏高敏感大鼠腹部撤回反射分和背根神经节神经元P2X2和P2X3受体表达降低。提示电针治疗可能通过降低背根神经节神经元中P2X2和P2X3受体的表达来改善肠易激综合征大鼠的内脏高敏感。

Abstract:

Electroacupuncture at Shangjuxu (ST37) and Tianshu (ST25) can improve visceral hypersensitivity in rats. Colorectal distension was used to establish a rat model of chronic visceral hypersensitivity. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect P2X2 and P2X3 receptor expression in dorsal root ganglia from rats with chronic visceral hypersensitivity. Results demonstrated that abdominal withdrawal reflex scores obviously increased following establishment of the model, indicating visceral hypersensitivity. Simultaneously, P2X2 and P2X3 receptor expression increased in dorsal root ganglia. After bilateral electroacupuncture at Shangjuxu and Tianshu, abdominal withdrawal reflex scores and P2X2 and P2X3 receptor expression decreased in rats with visceral hypersensitivity. These results indicated that electroacupuncture treatment improved visceral hypersensitivity in rats with irritable bowel syndrome by reducing P2X2 and P2X3 receptor expression in dorsal root ganglia.
