Fascia is the “sensor” for the coupling response of manipulative therapies
AbstractFascia, the initial response site for mechanical stimulation in manipulations, is also the target of the effect of manipulations. As the essence of manipulation is “force”, how mechanical stimuli are transduced into neuroelectric and biochemical signals in the fascia and how physical and chemical signals of the fascia initiate the mechanical stimulation effect are the common key questions in the study of the principle of manipulation. The physical changes in the fascial connective tissue caused by the manipulation, such as the deformation and displacement of the fascial tissue, can act on the nerve end receptor...

Study on the mechanism of herb cake-partitioned moxibustion inhibiting tumor growth in colitis-associated colorectal cancer based on KDM4D receptor
ConclusionHerb cake-partitioned moxibustion regulated abnormally expressed KDM4D in CAC rats, activated APC and Axin, the upstream molecules of Wnt/ β-catenin pathway, inhibited abnormally activated downstream molecules of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This may be a key mechanism of herb cake-partitioned moxibustion in inhibiting CAC tumor growth. (Source: Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science)

Efficacy observation of long-time needle retaining at Baihui (GV20) combined with multidirectional point-toward-point needle insertion with needle shaking at Fengchi (GB20) for cervical vertigo
ConclusionLong-time needle retaining at Baihui (GV20) combined with multidirectional point-toward-point needle insertion with needle shaking at Fengchi (GB20) can significantly reduce the clinical symptoms of CV and regulate the blood flow rate of vertebrobasilar arteries bidirectionally, and thus is an effective therapy for CV.

Effects of vibrating the abdomen on peripheral blood gastrointestinal hormones and gastrointestinal motility of young anorexia model rats
ConclusionVibrating the abdomen increases the food intake and body mass of anorexia model rats, reduces the residue of gastric contents, improves the small intestine propulsion rate, and therefore has a good therapeutic effect on anorexia. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the secretion of CCK-8 and NT in plasma and promoting the release of MTL and GAS in serum. (Source: Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science)

Effect mechanism investigation of herb-partitioned moxibustion on relieving colon inflammation in Crohn disease rats based on neutrophil extracellular traps
ConclusionHerb-partitioned moxibustion reduced the serum NETs complex and inhibited the protein and mRNA expression of NETs complex in the colon tissue, which may be one mechanism of herb-partitioned moxibustion in relieving colon mucosal inflammation in CD.

Study on the mechanism of P2X receptors involved in electroacupuncture treatment of neuropathic pain in dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord
AbstractNeuropathic pain (NP) is directly caused by lesions or diseases of the somatosensory system. It can be attributed to a variety of causes and has a complex pathological mechanism. Purinergic P2X receptors play a critical role in NP. P2X receptors will be activated by the extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to mediate the pain when the tissue is damaged. In vertebrates, there are 7 subtypes of P2X receptors (P2X1-7) encoded by genes, among which the receptors of P2X3, P2X4, and P2X7 are closely related to NP. Acupuncture produces good therapeutic efficacy on NP. To explore the mechanism of purinergic signaling...
