摘要:

文题释义:
三通针法:是基于脊髓损伤“督脉瘀阻不通为本、肠腑和膀胱功能失调为标”的病机特点提出的,选择大椎、腰阳关及双侧次髎、足三里为主穴的针灸治疗方法,以达到通督、通(肠)腑、通调膀胱的目的,最终达到治疗脊髓损伤的作用。
磁共振成像技术:主要是指运用血氧水平依赖法进行的功能性成像的技术,当脑特定功能中枢被激发活动时,局部血流量瞬间快速增加,含氧血红蛋白含量增多而去氧血红蛋白减少,在图像上可运用不同色彩标示脑功能区血氧含量的改变,以实时显示其功能变化。

背景:研究表明,脊髓损伤后脑功能会发生改变,针灸治疗对不完全性脊髓损伤有较好的疗效,针灸能否影响脊髓损伤患者脑功能的重塑值得研究。
目的:探讨“三通针法”对脊髓损伤患者脑功能的影响。
方法:将符合纳入标准的20例脊髓损伤患者随机分为针灸组(n=10)和药物组 (n=10)。针灸治疗取大椎、腰阳关及双侧次髎、足三里等,电针选择疏密波,持续时间30 min,每天1次;药物组予以单唾液酸四己糖神经节苷脂钠60 mg静脉注射,每天1次;4周为1疗程,疗程间隔休息7 d,共治疗2个疗程。试验于2014-03-11经江西中医药大学附属医院伦理审查委员会批准,伦理批号:2014031107。
结果与结论:①两组患者治疗后感觉评分、运动评分、日常生活活动能力评分、美国脊髓损伤协会分级均较治疗前明显好转,且两组间感觉评分、运动评分、日常生活活动能力评分、美国脊髓损伤协会分级差异无显著性意义;②两组患者治疗后双侧主感觉运动皮质低频振荡振幅较治疗前明显增高,而双侧尾状核低频振荡振幅则较治疗前下降,且治疗后两组不同脑区低频振荡振幅结果接近;③两组患者治疗后双侧中央前回/中央后回与颞中回/颞下回局部一致性均较治疗前明显升高,而双侧丘脑、尾状核局部一致性较治疗前明显降低,治疗后两组上述脑区局部一致性接近;④两组患者治疗后大脑白质纤维束在内囊后肢及放射冠区各向异分数较治疗前升高,平均扩散系数较治疗前下降;除右侧放射冠外,两组其他部位各向异分数和平均扩散系数的治疗前后差值差异有显著性意义;⑤结果提示“三通针法”能改善脊髓损伤患者脑功能重塑,可能是针灸治疗脊髓损伤的作用机制之一。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that brain function changes after spinal cord injury, and acupuncture treatment has a good effect on incomplete spinal cord injury. Whether acupuncture can affect the remodeling of brain function in patients with spinal cord injury is worth studying.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of "three-tong acupuncture" on brain function in patients with spinal cord injury. 
METHODS: Twenty spinal cord injury patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into acupuncture treatment group (n=10) and drug treatment group (n=10). Acupoints of Dazhui, Yaoyangguan, Ciliao, Zusanli and etc. were selected and dilatation wave was selected for electroacupuncture which lasted for 30 minutes, once a day. In the drug treatment group, monosialotetrahexosyl ganglioside sodium was intravenously administered with the dose of 60 mg, once a day, 4 weeks as a course, two courses in total, with an interval of 7 days. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with an approval No. 2014031107.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was a significant improvement in scores of sensory, motor, daily activity and American Spinal Injury Association grading assessment in the two groups after treatment, but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The amplitude low-frequency fluctuation of bilateral main sensorimotor cortices of patients in both groups after treatment were significantly increased compared with those before treatment, and the amplitude low-frequency fluctuation of bilateral caudate nucleus after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment, and there was no significant difference between the two groups after treatment. The regional homogeneity of bilateral anterior and posterior central gyrus and middle temporal gyrus/inferior temporal gyrus between two groups after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment. The regional homogeneity of bilateral thalamus and caudate nucleus after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment. There were however no significant difference in the regional homogeneity of these above-mentioned brain areas. The fractional anisotropy of the posterior limb of the internal capsule and the corona radiate after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment, and the mean diffusivity was decreased compared with that before treatment. There were significant differences in the two groups before and after treatment except for the right radial crown. These findings indicate that “three-tong acupuncture” can improve the remodeling of brain function in patients with spinal cord injury, which may be one of the mechanisms of acupuncture treating spinal cord injury.

Key words: spinal cord injury, three-tong acupuncture, electroacupuncture, magnetic resonance imaging, low-frequency fluctuation amplitude, regional homogeneity, mean diffusivity, fractional anisotropy
