The aim of the present study was to investigate whether gastrin, cholecystokinin (CCK) and somatostatin secretion can be influenced by sensory stimulation and if so, whether such effects are mediated via the vagal nerves. Male rats anaesthetized with chloral hydrate were exposed to three different stimuli, i.e. to low frequency (2 Hz) electrical stimulation of muscles via needles (electro-acupu...

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment for pain. 3000-year-oldtraditional therapy from China. Electroacupuncture similar to acupuncture in that it uses electrical stimulation. It works similarly orthodox excites the same regions. As with conventional acupuncture, needles are inserted at designated points on body. The then coupled gadget leverages tiny clips establish consistent electric...

This study was designed to investigate the effect of pulse width modulation electro-acupuncture (PWM-EA) on cardiovascular remodeling and nitric oxide (NO) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Thirty-four male SHR were randomly divided into control, captopril, and two PWM-EA groups, which were treated with 350 Hz (SHR-350 Hz) and whole audio bandwith electro-acupuncture (SHR-WAB group) res...

BACKGROUND The anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities of electro-acupuncture (EA), a traditional clinical method, are widely accepted, but its mechanisms are not yet well defined. In this study, we investigated the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinases1/2 (ERK1/2) pathways on electro-acupuncture - mediated up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in rabbit lungs injured by LPS...

Bio-cybernetic medicine is not a new idea but an old concept that has been given a new name. A bio-cybernetic matrix is a modern term for the acupuncture meridian system and the related medical field of acupuncture meridian assessment developed by Reinhold Voll, MD in ...
