摘 要:Objective:To explore the mechanism of electroacupuncture(EA) in improving ischemic ***:The Wistar rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was prepared by the thread embolism *** rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,and an EA *** was given at bilateral Hegu(LI 4) in rats of the EA *** of the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) mRNA was detected with hybridization in situ,and expressions of the angiogenin-1(Ang-1) and endostatin proteins were detected with the immunohistochemical ***:As compared with the normal group,the expressions of VEGF mRNA,Ang-1 protein and endostatin protein significantly increased in the model group(all P0.05);and when compared with the model group,the EA group showed even more significant increase in expressions of the VEGF mRNA and Ang-1 protein(both P0.05),but with an obvious decline in the increase of expression of endostatin protein(P0.05).Conclusions:EA can promote angiogenesis in brain of experimental cerebral ischemic rats after reperfusion probably through up-regulating the expression of angiogenesis factors and down-regulating the expression of anti-angiogenesis factors.
