However, few studies have examined the relationship between time of acupuncture and curative effect on cerebral hemorrhage. By observing the effect of acupuncture on changes in histopathology, ultrastructure, and neuroethology in a cerebral hemorrhage model of rats, we have directly examined the time-effect relationship of acupuncture. The rat model of cerebral hemorrhage was produced by slowly injecting autologous blood to the right caudate nucleus. The experimental groups were: 3-, 9-, 24-, and 48-hour model groups; and 3-, 9-, 24-, and 48-hour acupuncture groups. The sham-operation group was used for comparison. Acupuncture was performed at the Neiguan(PC6) and Renzhong(DU26) acupoints, twice a day, 6 hours apart, for 5 consecutive days. Brain tissue changes were observed by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Neuroethology was assessed using Bederson and Longa scores. Our results show that compared with the sham-operation and model groups, Bederson and Longa scores were lower in each acupuncture group, with visibly improved histopathology and brain tissue ultrastructure. Further, the results were better in the 3-and 9-hour acupuncture groups than the 24-and 48-hour acupuncture groups. Our findings show that acupuncture treatment can relieve pathological and ultrastructural deterioration and neurological impairment caused by the acute phase of cerebral hemorrhage, and may protect brain tissue during this period. In addition, earlier acupuncture intervention following cerebral hemorrhage(by 3 or 9 hours) is associated with a better treatment outcome.展开更多

Methods For the time-effect study, 190 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were devided into 19 groups (n- 10): the vehicle control group, the PHAAC groups (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96 h) and the prasugrel hydrochloride groups (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72, 96 h). Rats were singly intra- gastic administration of the vehicle, the PHAAC (5 mg·kg^-1) or the prasugrel hydrochloride (5 mg · kg^-1 ), re- spectively. Blood samples were taken at each time point for the determination of platelet aggregation rate (PAR). For the dose-effect study, 110 SD rats were devided into 11 groups (n= 10): the vehicle control group, the PHAAC groups (10, 5, 2.5, 1, 0.5 mg · kg^-1, dosage of prasugrel) and the prasugrel hydrochloride groups ( 10, 5, 2.5, 1, 0.5 mg · kg^-1, dosage of prasugrel) . Blood samples were taken at 4 h after drug administration for the determination of PAR. Results Compared with the vehicle group, PHAAC has significant anti-platelet ag- gregative effects (P 〈 0.05) at the time of 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48 h, and the effect at the time of 4 h was the strongest. There were no obvious differences between the effect of PHAAC (5 mg · kg^-1) and prasugrel hydrochlo- ride (5 mg · kg^-1) at each time point. Compared with the vehicle group, intragastic administration of PHAAC at the doses of 10, 5, 2.5, 1, 0.5 mg · kg^-1 could obviously inhibite the platelet aggregation, and showed a dose- dependent manner. There were no significant differences between the effect of PHAAC and prasugrel hydrochloride at the same dose. Conclusion PHAAC can inhibit platelet aggregation in a dose-dependent manner, and the effect at 4 h after drug administration is the strongest. The action strength and duration of PHAAC are similar with that of the prasugrel hydrochloride.展开更多
