摘 要:Objective: To investigate the effect of moxibustion at Shenque (CV8) on the immune system in rats with different levels of exhaustive exercise. Methods: Fifty-six male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a blank group (n=8), an exhaustive group (n=24), and a moxibustion group (n=24). The exhaustive group was randomly divided into a 1-time exhaustive group, a 4-time exhaustive group and a 7-time exhaustive group, with 8 rats in each group. According to the treatment time, the moxibustion group was randomly divided into a 1-time moxibustion group, a 4-time moxibustion group and a 7-time moxibustion group, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in the exhaustive groups and the moxibustion groups were subjected to replicating the exhaustive swimming models. Rats in each moxibustion group received mild moxibustion for 15 min immediately after the exhaustive modeling, once every other day. Twenty-four hours after the corresponding exhaustive exercise, the rats in each group were tested for the levels of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgA, IgM and acid phosphatase (ACP), and the morphological changes of spleen tissues were observed. The level of IgA was detected by immunoturbidimetric assay, and the levels of IgG, IgM and ACP were detected by en zyme-linked imm uno sorb ent assay (ELISA). Results: Compared with the 1-time exhaustive group, swimming time of rats in the 4-time exhaustive group was significantly proIonged (P0.01), and swimming time of rats in the 7-time exhaustive group was significantly shortened (P0.01). Compared with the 7-time exhaustive group, exhaustive swimming time of rats in the 7-time moxibustion group was significantly proIonged (P0.01). Compared with the blank group, the IgG level in the 1-time exhaustive group was significantly decreased (***), and the levels of IgG, IgA and IgM in the 4-time exhaustive group and the 7-time exhaustive group were all sign ifica ntly decreased (P0.05 or ***), while the ACP level was in creased sign
