简介:目的:研究针刺足三里对D-半乳糖所致衰老小鼠抗衰老作用的机制。方法:三十只28周龄ICR系雌性小白鼠,随机分成对照组、模型组和针刺组。在光学显微镜下观察小肠粘膜形态学变4L;分别测定血清中超氧化物歧化酶(SuperoxideDismutase,SOD)活性和丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)含量。结果:针刺组SOD活性高于模型组和对照组,MDA含量低于模型组和对照组。模型组正常型绒毛比率减少,上皮细胞脱落再生加剧,肠绒毛萎缩;针刺组肠绒毛形态改善,肠上皮细胞异常减少。结论:针刺足三里能提高血清中SOD活性,减少MDA含量,改善肠绒毛形态,有助于延缓衰老过程。
简介:针灸学属于传统经验医学,循证医学是新兴的医学方法学,是经验医学的发展。自上个世纪90年代以来,中国从事针灸学研究的工作者已开始吸收和借鉴循证医学的方法和原理,用于指导针灸临床研究与医疗实践,现在国内已有越来越多的针灸临床工作者采用和遵循循证医学的原则和方法。从目前Cochrane图书馆发表的与针灸有关的系统评价来看,以往认为有效的针灸疗法却没有足够的证据表明有效,这与目前国内RCT质量不高直接有关。今后,发展并形成针灸临床研究专业化队伍和针灸临床研究中心,才能从根本上提高针灸临床研究和评价的水平。同时,发展中国循证针灸学,应结合中国针灸学的自身特点,如重视古籍中的原始研究证据,开展高质量的随机对照试验,重视非随机研究的系统评价等等。
