摘要:

研究发现针刺百会、大椎穴,可使脑缺血大鼠神经元的丢失减少,超微结构损伤减轻,但针刺治疗成瘾及抗复吸是否通过改善大鼠脑细胞超微结构的变化而达成呢?实验建立海洛因复吸大鼠模型,透视电镜观察海洛因复吸大鼠大脑海马和额叶出现细胞凋亡,免疫组化染色检测显示大脑海马和额叶中抑凋亡因子Bcl-2表达明显减少,促凋亡因子Bax表达明显增加。针刺百会和大椎后,大脑海马和额叶病理损伤明显减轻,大脑海马和额叶中Bcl-2表达增加,Bax表达减少,且作用效果与临床常用治疗吸毒成瘾的药物美沙酮的效果接近。说明针刺大椎、百会穴具有抗海洛因复吸大鼠脑神经细胞凋亡作用。

Abstract:

Acupuncture at Baihui (GV20) and Dazhui (GV14) reduces neuronal loss and attenuates ultrastructural damage in cerebral ischemic rats. However, whether acupuncture can treat addiction and prevent readdiction through changes to brain cell ultrastructure remains unknown. In this study, cell apoptosis was observed in the hippocampus and frontal lobe of heroin readdicted rats by electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical staining displayed a reduction in Bcl-2 expression and an increase in Bax expression in the hippocampus and frontal lobe. After rats were given acupuncture at Baihui and Dazhui, the pathological damage in the hippocampus and frontal lobe was significantly reduced, Bcl-2 expression was upregulated and Bax expression was downregulated. Acupuncture exerted a similar effect with methadone, a commonly used drug for clinical treatment of drug addiction. Experimental findings suggest that acupuncture at Dazhui and Baihui can prevent brain cell apoptosis in heroin readdicted rats.
