摘要:

文题释义:

热敏灸疗法:是以中医的经络穴位为基础,通过艾灸体表的“热敏化穴”,以求产生一种“小刺激大反应”的效果,即激发透热、扩热、传热、局部不(微)热远部热、表面不(微)热深部热、非热觉等热敏灸感,出现的一种酸胀、重痛、麻酥等数种灸疗现象,促进气血运行,直达病所。

浅筋膜:居于真皮之下,薄软且富有弹性,由疏松结缔组织构成,主要包含大量基质、弹性纤维、胶原纤维和未分化的间充质细胞等,具有维持人体正常体温和保护深面组织的重要作用。

背景:通过临床实践和基础实验证明针灸“命门”穴对治疗原发性骨质疏松症疗效显著,热敏灸作为一种新型治疗手段,在临床治疗中收效甚益,但对其机制的研究仍处于空白阶段。

目的:拟从结缔组织及神经系统角度对热敏灸治疗机制进行研究,并在一定时间范围内探讨热敏灸的最佳治疗时间。

方法:将SPF级雌性SD大鼠随机分为5组:正常组、模型组、热敏灸4 d组、热敏灸7 d组、热敏灸14 d组,后4组通过双侧卵巢摘除术制备骨质疏松症模型,给予不同时间热敏灸治疗,治疗结束后取以“命门”穴为中心区附近0.5-1.5 cm内的皮下浅筋膜、脊髓分别进行荧光染色、苏木精-伊红染色;对热敏灸14 d治疗前后的血清磷、钙离子和碱性磷酸酶浓度进行测定。

结果与结论:①荧光染色观察筋膜内纤维形态改变:模型组的胶原纤维排布交错杂乱呈网状排列,而热敏灸4 d组胶原纤维排列几乎没有任何改变,随着热敏灸时间延长至14 d变化逐渐显著,胶原纤维在热敏灸作用下被拉伸牵引,张力增加,总体呈向心性排布,即朝向“命门”穴附近;②苏木精-伊红染色观察脊髓改变:热敏灸4 d组大鼠脊髓较模型组无明显变化,热敏灸7 d组前角处神经元细胞数量有所增加且体积增大,后角处神经胶质细胞数量增加,热敏灸14 d组前角神经元细胞数目增加显著,且体积增大,细胞核较大而圆,核仁明显,神经纤维增粗增长,排列规律,后角处神经胶质细胞数目明显增加且更加致密;③血清指标:经热敏灸14 d治疗前后对比发现大鼠血清磷离子、碱性磷酸酶浓度明显上升(P < 0.01),钙离子浓度明显下降(P < 0.05);④结果提示,热敏灸可以通过结缔组织形态学改变以及神经-体液调节来实现热敏信号通路的传导,进而改善骨质疏松的症状,以热敏灸14 d为理想治疗时间。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: It has been proved in clinical practice and basic research that acupuncture and moxibustion at Mingmen acupoint is an effective treatment for primary osteoporosis. As a new therapeutic method, heat-sensitive moxibustion has achieved good results in clinical practice, but the research on its mechanism is still in the blank stage.

OBJECTIVE: To study the therapeutic mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion from the perspective of connective tissue and nervous system, and to explore the optimal therapeutic time of heat-sensitive moxibustion in a certain time range.

METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into five groups: normal group, model group, 4-, 7-, and 14-day heat-sensitive moxibustion groups. Osteoporosis models were prepared by ovariectomy and treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion at different times. After treatment, the superficial subcutaneous fascia 0.5-1.5 cm around the Mingmen acupoint and the spinal cord were stained with fluorescence and hematoxylin-eosin staining. The concentrations of phosphorus ion, calcium ions and alkaline phosphatase in rat serum were detected before and after 14 days of heat-sensitive sensitive moxibustion.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Morphological changes of intrafascial fibers by fluorescence staining: In the normal and model groups, collagen fibers were interlaced and arranged in a network. In the 4-day heat-sensitive moxibustion group, the arrangement of collagen fibers showed no changes. After 14 days of intervention the collagen fibers were stretched and pulled significantly under the effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion, and showed a centripetal arrangement toward the Mingmen acupoint. (2) Hematoxylin-eosin staining results of the spinal cord: After 4 days of heat-sensitive moxibustion, the rat spinal cord had no obvious change compared with the model group. After 7 days of heat-sensitive moxibustion, anterior cornual neurons increased in number and size, and the number of glial cells in the spinal dorsal horn increased. After 14 days of heat-sensitive moxibustion, anterior horn neurons increased significantly in number and in size, with large and round nuclei, obvious nucleoli, and enlarged and regularly arranged nerve fibers; glial cells in the posterior horn increased significantly in number and arranged densely. (3) Serum concentration determination: After 14 days of heat-sensitive moxibustion, the concentrations of phosphorus ions and alkaline phosphatase in rat serum increased significantly (P < 0.01), and the concentration of calcium ions decreased significantly (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that heat-sensitive moxibustion can ameliorate the symptoms of osteoporosis through the morphological changes of connective tissue and nerve-body fluid regulation. Heat-sensitive moxibustion for 14 days can achieve ideal results.
