Resting-state Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis of Brain Functional Activity in Rats with Ischemic Stroke Treated by Electro-acupuncture
To evaluate whether electro-acupuncture (EA) treatment at acupoints of Zusanli (ST 36) and Quchi (LI 11) could reduce motor impairments and enhance brain functional recovery in rats with ischemic stroke.

Combination of Scalp Acupuncture with Exercise Therapy Effectively Counteracts Ischemic Brain Injury in Rats
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Scalp acupuncture and exercise therapy have been proven as two effective methods for the treatment of stroke. However, their combined action and mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of scalp acupuncture combined with exercise therapy on neurons in rats with ischemic brain injury.

Electroacupuncture Regulates Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity via Inhibiting Janus-Activated Kinase 2/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 Signaling in Cerebral Ischemic Rats
Objective: To determine the mechanism(s) involved in electroacupuncture (EA)-mediated improvements in synaptic plasticity in a rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion (MCAO/R)-induced cognitive deficits. Methods: Focal cerebral ischemic stroke was induced by (MCAO/R) surgery. Rats were randomly split into 4 groups: control group (sham operation control), MCAO group, Baihui (GV 20) and Shenting (GV 24) acupoint EA group (verum acupuncture, MCAO  + VA), and nonacupoint EA group (control acupuncture, MCAO + CA).

Efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training for poststroke cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Accumulated evidence has proven that both acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy are beneficial for stroke sequelae. However, there is no systematic review to identify the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training for poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation therapy for patients with PSCI.

Electric Acupuncture Treatment Promotes Angiogenesis in Rats with Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Through EphB4/EphrinB2 Mediated Src/PI3K Signal Pathway
Cerebral infarction is one of the most common causes of disability and death worldwide. It is reported that electric acupuncture was able to improve the prognosis of cerebral infarction by promoting angiogenesis. However, the corresponding signal pathways of angiogenesis promotes by electric acupuncture treatment needs to be further explored.
