BACKGROUND: It was found that moxibustion can inhibit the inflammatory factors in the serum of rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, resist oxidative stress, inhibit cell apoptosis, and effectively reduce cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of different moxibustion intervention time on the expression levels of nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like protein 3 inflammasome (NLRP3), cysteine aspartase (caspase-1), apoptosis-related speck-like protein, exfoliatin-D protein, interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, and to explore its action mechanism. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=9) and operation group (n=36). The model of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion in the operation group. After successful modeling, the rats in the operation group were further divided into model group, moxibustion 10-minute group, moxibustion 15-minute group and moxibustion 30-minute group, with 9 rats in each group. Rats in the moxibustion 10-minute, 15-minute and 30-minute groups were given moxibustion at “Baihui, Dazhui and Zusanli”, respectively, once a day for a total of 7 days. The neurological deficits of rats were evaluated by LONGA method. The cerebral infarction was observed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The pathological changes of brain tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The contents of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 in serum of rats in each group were detected by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry and western blot assay were used to detect the expression levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, apoptosis-related spot-like protein and gasdermin D in the ischemic cortex of rats in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the sham operation group, the neurological deficit score of the model group was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the neurological deficit score of the moxibustion groups was significantly reduced (P < 0.01). Compared with the sham operation group, the infarct volume of the model group was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the infarct volume of the moxibustion groups was significantly reduced (P < 0.01); the infarct volume of the rats was smallest in the moxibustion 30-minute group (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the contents of inflammatory factors interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 in the serum of rats in the moxibustion groups were decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the moxibustion 10-minute group, the contents of inflammatory factors in the serum of rats in the moxibustion 30-minute group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of NLRP3, apoptosis-related spot-like protein, Caspase-1 and gasdermin D protein in the ischemic cortex of the moxibustion groups was significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with the moxibustion 10-minute and 15-minute groups, the expression of protein in the moxibustion 30-minute group was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). It is concluded that moxibustion at Baihui, Dazhui and Zusanli can reduce cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, among which moxibustion for 30 minutes has the best effect, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathway.

Objective To observe the effect of moxibustion on the Young's modulus of lumbar muscle groups, hind limb gait parameters, and bone mineral density in ovariectomized rats, and to explore the role of moxibustion in improving muscle function in ovariectomized rats based on the theory of musculoskeletal interaction. Methods Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation group, model group, moxibustion group, and estrogen group, with 8 rats in each group. Rats in the model group, moxibustion group, and estrogen group were ovariectomized. The acupoints of the moxibustion group were taken from both sides of the Liver-Yu and Kidney- Yu for 15 minutes each time, once every other day, 3 times a week for a total of 12 weeks. After the intervention, real-time shear wave ultrasound elastography (SWE) was used to determine the Young's modulus of lumbar muscle groups in rats. The gait analysis system WalkAnalysator VTX recorded the support duration (s), swing duration (s), swing speed (cm/s), and stride width (cm) of the hind limb. Micro-CT was used to detect bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular bone thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular bone separation (Tb.Sp) in the right femur. Results Compared to those in the sham operation group, the Young's modulus in lumbar muscle group decreased (P<0.01), the support duration, swing duration, and step width of hind limbs increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), the swing speed decreased (P<0.01), BMD, Tb.Th, and BV/TV of the right femur decreased (P<0.01), and the Tb.Sp increased (P<0.01). Compared to those in the model group, the Young's modulus of lumbar muscle group in the moxibustion group and estrogen group increased (P<0.05), the hindlimb support duration, swing duration, and step width shortened (P<0.05, P<0.01), the swing speed increased (P<0.01), BMD, Tb.Th, and BV/TV of the right femur increased (P<0.01), and the Tb.Sp decreased (P<0.01). Conclusion Moxibustion Liver-Yu and Kidney-Yu increases the Young's modulus value of lumbar muscle groups in ovariectomized rats, affects the gait parameters of hind limbs, thereby improving muscle function and improving BMD. This provides a traditional Chinese medicine solution for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis from the perspective of musculoskeletal interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: The repair process of skin trauma is complex and susceptible to infection, easy to lead to poor healing, is the current difficulty and hot spot in wound repair research, and has received extensive attention in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine and tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of moxibustion and reduced graphene oxide/cerium oxide nanocomposite on promoting the healing of infectious wounds. METHODS: (1) Reduced graphene oxide/cerium dioxide nanocomposites with mass ratios of 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The resulting composites were recorded as G2C1, G1C1and G1C2, respectively. The photothermal properties, cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of the three kinds of materials were tested. After taking moxa sticks, three kinds of moxibustion distances were set (3.0-3.5 cm, recorded as moxibustion 1; 2.5-3.0 cm, recorded as moxibustion 2; 2.0-2.5 cm, recorded as moxibustion 3). Moxibustion was applied to the surface of human skin for 10 minutes to detect the photothermal properties. The antibacterial properties of moxibustion were tested at three different distance intervals. Simultaneously, the back body surface infrared imaging of rats with different mass concentrations of G1C1material, moxibustion (three kinds of moxibustion distances) and moxibustion 2+G1C1material was detected. (2) Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to model the wound of Staphylococcus aureus infection. 48 hours later, they were randomly divided into 10 groups with 6 rats in each group: control group (did not receive any treatment), mupirocin group, moxibustion 2+G1C1group, moxibustion 1 group, moxibustion 2 group, moxibustion 3 group and 60, 80, 100, and 120 μg/mL G1C1groups (The G1C1group was given 808 nm near-infrared laser irradiation for 10 min/time, and the G1C1suspension was loaded on the wound surface before each treatment. Each group of moxibustion underwent insitu suspension moxibustion, and the intervention time was 10 min/time. Moxibustion 2+G1C1group was loaded with G1C1suspension on the wound surface before each treatment, and moxibustion was suspended in situ with moxa strips, and the intervention time was 10 min/time). The frequency of treatment was 2 days once. Wound healing, wound colony count and repair were detected after 7 days of intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The three kinds of reduced graphene oxide/cerium dioxide nanocomposites had good photothermal properties, and the higher the mass concentration of the composites, the better the photothermal properties. The temperature of the moxibustion 2 group reached 47.6 °C for 10 minutes without causing thermal damage, which was more suitable for animal experiments. The results of co-culture with NIH-3T3 cells exhibited that 60, 80, and 100 μg/mL G1C1had good biocompatibility. The results of a co-culture experiment with Staphylococcus aureus suspension displayed that G2C1, G1C1and G1C2 had good antibacterial activity, among which G1C1group demonstrated excellent antibacterial performance, and the antibacterial rate reached 100% when its mass concentration was 80 μg/mL. 60-120 μg/mL G1C1could effectively remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilm, and the higher the material mass concentration, the better the removal effect. Moxibustion could also effectively remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilm, and the closer the moxibustion was, the better the removal effect. (2) Compared with the control group, the wound area of the mupirocin group, moxibustion 2 group, moxibustion 2+G1C1group and 80, 100 μg/mL G1C1groups was significantly reduced on day 7 of treatment, and the quality of wound repair was better. Mupirocin, G1C1, moxibustion and moxibustion 2+G1C1could effectively remove the residual bacteria on the wound surface, and the higher the mass concentration of G1C1, the lower the residual bacteria. Among them, the wound repair efficiency and bacterial residue of 80 μg/mL G1C1group and moxibustion 2 group were very similar, and the wound repair efficiency of both was better than that of mupirocin group. In addition, it was also observed that the combination of materials and moxibustion had a better ability to clear wound bacteria than that used alone. (3) The results confirm that moxibustion, reduced graphene oxide/cerium dioxide nanocomposites and their combination have good anti-infection and wound healing effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
