Exploring the Mechanism of Acupuncture's Influence on the Protease Activity and Free Radical Damage in Synovial Fluid of Rheumatoid Arthritis Rats Induced by Type II Collagen from the Release of Active Oxygen
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 28. doi: 10.1007/s12010-024-04932-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcupuncture was studied to investigate the mechanism of its effect on protease vitality and free radical damage in Type I CIA rats induced by type II collagen. The study divided rats into a control group (injected with physiological saline, n = 10), a model group (injected with type II collagen, n = 10), and an intervention group (injected with type II collagen + acupuncture ST36 and GB39, 3 times a week, for a total of 4 weeks, n = 10) based on the different injected drugs. Then, various indicators of the mice were experim...

Efficacy of acupuncture (Jins three-needle) on motor symptoms and anxiety in patients with Parkinsons disease: protocol for a multicentre, randomised, assessor-blinded clinical trial
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) has a significant impact on a substantial number of individuals in China. Notably, 31% of patients with PD also grapple with the additional burden of anxiety. This dual challenge of managing both PD and anxiety underscores the complexity of the condition and the diverse range of symptoms patients may experience. Considering the circumstances, the cost and potential drawbacks associated with traditional antiparkinsonian drugs become increasingly relevant. Acupuncture emerges as a significant non-pharmacological adjunct therapy. Offering a potentially safer and more cost-effective ...
