Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : Experimental studies were done to research the clinical effects of Herba Patriniae(HP) aqua-acupuncture (BL13, BL17, BL13?BL17 and free points) on the anti-allergic inflammatory response.
Methods : We measured active systemic anaphylatic shock induced by compound 48/80 and microvascular permeability increased by acetic acid. And we measured total IgE and plasma WBC level, serum total protein, albumin, immunoglobulin and NO levels induced by egg albumin.
Results : HP aqua-acupuncture pretreatments at all acupoints inhibited active systemic anaphylatic shock induced by compound 48/80 and microvascular permeability increased by acetic acid. Total IgE and plasma WBC level inhibited by HP aqua-acupuncture pretreatment at BL13?BL17 and free points. However, HP aqua-acupuncture didn’t effect serum total protein, albumin, immunoglobulin and NO levels.
Conclusion : These results suggest that HP aqua-acupuncture may be beneficial in the regulation of type Ⅰ allergic reaction, but is further required immunological studies on the allergic reaction.
