摘要:

文题释义:
通痹方:为贵州医科大学附属医院针灸科自拟方,在临床应用十余年,收效甚好。全方以红花、赤芍、独活、威灵仙、防风、细辛等祛风除湿、舒筋通络、活血止痛为主,辅以川芎、桂枝、葛根温通经脉、通达气血,主要治疗以颈椎病、腰椎病、风湿性关节炎等为主的痹症。
椎间盘退变:是引起颈、腰椎病的主要原因,可由衰老、异常应力、损伤等多种因素所引起。其继发病理改变包括脊柱节段不稳、骨刺形成、椎管狭窄、椎间盘膨出、椎间盘突出等,若累及到神经根、脊髓、椎动脉、交感神经、脊髓前中央动脉等周围组织结构,可引发头晕头痛、颈肩疼痛、上肢麻木等相应症状。

背景:研究表明,针刺及中药热敷治疗椎间盘退行性疾病具有良好的疗效,但2种方法联合应用对椎间盘细胞凋亡的影响尚不明确。
目的:探讨通痹方热敷联合针刺治疗对颈椎病模型家兔椎间盘细胞凋亡相关基因Caspase-3、Bcl-2 mRNA的影响。
方法:24只新西兰兔随机分为空白对照组、模型对照组、针刺治疗组、联合治疗组,各6只。除空白对照组外,其余3组制备颈椎病模型,造模成功后针刺治疗组采取针刺治疗30 min/(次•d)、联合治疗组给予通痹方热敷联合针刺治疗45 min/(次•d);于造模前、造模30 d、治疗结束后拍摄家兔颈椎X射线片并评分,治疗15次后留取各组兔C3-4、C4-5椎间盘。苏木精-伊红染色观察C3-4椎间盘组织形态学变化并评分,实时荧光定量PCR法检测C4-5椎间盘Caspase-3、Bcl-2 mRNA相对表达量。实验方案经贵州医科大学动物伦理委员会批准。
结果与结论:①与模型对照组相比,针刺治疗组、联合治疗组颈椎病变减轻,X射线评分降低(P < 0.05),联合治疗组评分与针刺治疗组比较无明显差别(P > 0.05);②与模型对照组相比,针刺治疗组、联合治疗组椎间盘组织损伤减少,评分降低,且联合治疗组评分低于针刺治疗组(P < 0.05);③针刺治疗组、联合治疗组较模型对照组Casepase-3 mRNA表达下降、Bcl-2 mRNA表达增加,联合治疗组较针刺治疗组Casepase-3 mRNA表达低、Bcl-2 mRNA表达高(P < 0.05);④结果表明,通痹方热敷联合针刺治疗可延缓椎间盘退变,其机制可能与Bcl-2 mRNA表达增加,Casepase-3 mRNA表达减少有关。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Acupuncture and hot compress of traditional Chinese medicine therapy have good curative effect on degenerative diseases of the intervertebral disc; however, the combination effect of these two methods on the apoptosis of intervertebral disc cells remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Tongbi prescription hot compress combined with acupuncture on the mRNA expression of apoptosis-related genes, Caspase-3 and Bcl-2, in intervertebral disc cells in a rabbit model of cervical spondylosis.  
METHODS: Twenty-four rabbits were randomly divided into normal group, model group, acupuncture group and combination treatment group, with six rabbits in each group. Except for the normal group, animal models of cervical spondylosis were established in the other three groups. After successful modeling, acupuncture treatment (30 minute once a day) and Tongbi Recipe hot compress combined with acupuncture therapy (30 minutes once a day) were done in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group, respectively. The cervical spine X-ray of each rabbit was taken and scored before modeling, at 30 days after molding as well as at the end of the treatment. The C3-4 and C4-5 intervertebral discs of each group were collected after treatment for 15 times. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the morphological changes of C3-4 discs, and real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 mRNA in C4-5 intervertebral discs. The study protocol was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of Guizhou Medical University.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, the cervical spine lesions in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group were significantly reduced, with a significant reduction in the X-ray scores (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between these treatment groups. The injury of intervertebral disc tissue and scores in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group were lower than those in the model group, and the score of the combination treatment group was significantly lower than that of the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of Casepase-3 mRNA decreased and the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA increased in the acupuncture group and combination treatment group, and the combination treatment group had lower Casepase-3 mRNA expression and higher Bcl-2 mRNA expression than the acupuncture group (P < 0.05). To conclude, Tongbi prescription hot compress combined with acupuncture therapy can delay the degeneration of intervertebral disc, and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA expression and down-regulation of Casepase-3 mRNA expression.
