OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of “Quchi” (LI 11) on arterial blood pressure (BP), sympathetic nerve activity, barorefiex sensitivity (BRS) and expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) enzyme subunit p 47 phox in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVML) in hypertension rats. METHODS: A total of 45 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, artificial cerebro-spinal fluid (Acsf) , model, “Quchi”(LI 11), and Jianyu (LI 15) groups (n = 9 in each group). The hypertension model was established by microinjection of Ang II (200 pg x kg(-1) x day(-1)) into the lateral ventricle (A-C: 1.0 mm, L: 1.4 mm, H: 4.5 mm) for 2 weeks (Acsf for Acsf group). After 1 week's Ang II perfusion, EA (2 Hz/15 Hz, 1 Ma) was applied to bilateral “Quchi” (LI 11)or “Jianyu” (LI 15) for 20 min, once daily for two weeks. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were detected by using a Non-Invasive Blood Pressure System (tail cuff method). The BRS (BP-to-HR transfer function) was determined by calculating the ratio of HR fluctuation (HR : HR, between post- and pre-intravenous injection of phenylephrine)/MAP fluctuation (MAP : MAP, between post- and pre-phenylephrine injection) , the urinary norepinephrine (NE) level in 24 h was assayed by ELISA. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect the Mrna and protein expression of BDNF and p 47phox in the RVML region tissue. RESULTS: Following modeling, the MAP, HR and 24 h-urinary NE levels and p 47phox Mrna and protein expression levels in the RVML were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the BRS was decreased significantly (P<0.01). After EA intervention, the MAP, HR and 24 h-urinary NE levels and p 47 phox Mrna and protein expression levels in the RVML were considerably lower in the LI 11 group than in the model group (P<0.05), while the BRS level was markedly increased in the LI 11 group compared with the model group (P<0.05). The expression levels of BDNF Mrna and protein in the RVLM region were obviously up-regulated in the LI 11 group compared with the model group (P<0.05). No significant differences were found between the LI 15 group and the model group in the MAP, HR, 24 h-urinary NE, BRS, BDNF Mrna and protein and p 47 phox Mrna and protein expression levels (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: EA stimulation of “Quchi” (LI 11) can down-regulate arterial blood pressure, sympathetic nerve activity, and increase the baroreflex sensitivity in hypertension rats, which may be related to its effects in down-regulating p 47 phox Mrna and protein expression in the RVML.
Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture at bilateral points Quchi on blood pressure variability in hypertensive disease patients. Methods One hundred and two patients were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 51cases each. Methods The treatment group received electroacupuncture at bilateral points Quchi and the control group, no treatment as a blank control. Twenty-four hour dynamic blood pressure variability were observed in the two groups of patients. Results There satiscally significant post-treatment differences in 24-hour systolic pressure standart deviation (nSSD) between the treatment and control groups (P<0,05). There were no satiscally significant post-treatment in 24 hour diastolic pressure standard deviation (24DSD), daytime diastolic pressure standart deviation (dDSD) and night diastolic pressure standart deviation (nDSD) between the treatment and control groups (P<0,05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture at bilateral points Quchi can reduce systolic pressure variability in hypertensive disease patients.
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of bloodletting at Quchi (LI 11) in treating chronic urticaria due to wind-heat and its effect on immunoglobulin E (IgE) and eosinophils.Method Totally 166 patients with chronic urticaria due to wind-heat were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 83 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by bloodletting at Quchi (LI 11), and the control group was by conventional medication. The levels of serum total IgE and eosinophils were observed before and after intervention, and the clinical efficacies and relapse rates were compared between the two groups.Result After intervention, the serum total IgE and eosinophils levels were significantly changed in the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum total IgE and eosinophils in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate and recovery plus markedly-effective rate were respectively 91.9% and 70.3% in the treatment group, versus 64.9% and 50.6% in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The relapse rate was 21.2% in the treatment group versus 41.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion Bloodletting at Quchi (LI 11) is an effective method in treating chronic urticaria due to wind-heat.

BACKGROUND: Acupuncture and moxibustion are used to treat pruritus and atopic dermatitis. However, whether cold stimulation (defined as that the temperature conducted under skin temperature) of acupoints affects itching in experimental murine models remains unclear. METHODS: The present study was designed to determine the therapeutic effects of different thermal stimulations at the Quchi acupoint (LI11) in a murine model in which scratching behaviour was elicited by subcutaneous injection with a pruritogenic agent (compound 48/80). Male ICR mice were divided into several groups as follows: control (saline), those receiving compound 48/80 and compound 48/80 with various thermal stimulations (5°C-45°C) at LI11 (n = 6 per group). The scratch response of each animal to these stimulations was recorded for 30 min. The antipruritic effect of the acupoint was further evaluated in LI11 and sham (non-acupoint) groups (n = 6 per group). RESULTS: Treatment with lower temperature (20°C) at the LI11 acupoint significantly attenuated compound 48/80-induced scratching; however, this antipruritic effect was not observed with stimulation at the sham point. The expression of c-fos in the neuron of the cervical spine induced by compound 48/80 was suppressed by cold stimulation at LI11. The antipruritic effect of cold stimulation was blocked by ruthium red (RR), a non-selective transient receptor potential (TRP) channel blocker, suggesting that TRP channels may play an important role in the antipruritic effect of cold stimulation at LI11 in mice.CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that cold stimulation at LI11 attenuated compound 48/80-induced scratching behaviour in mice, possibly by a TRP-related pathway.
