瞄准:在 interleukin-12 (IL-12 ) 和肿瘤坏死因素的肠的植物群和版本上调查艾灸的效果 --(TNF-) 从在有 ulcerative 大肠炎(UC ) 的老鼠的冒号。方法:UC 的一个老鼠模型被肠的本地刺激从从人的 UC 病人收获的结肠的内容与上层清液建立。40 只男 Sprague-Dawley 老鼠的一个总数随机被划分成下列组:正常(假冒) ,模型(UC ) ,植物分区艾灸(对待 HPM ) ,并且积极控制 sulfasalazine (对待 SA ) 。与 HPM 对待的老鼠在针灸点 ST25 和 RN6 收到了 HPM 为 15 min 的一天,为 8 d 的一个总数。在 SA 组的老鼠一天为 8 d 与 SA 被酒两次。结肠的组织病理学说被 hematoxylin 曙红观察。肠的植物群的层次包括 Bifidobacterium,乳杆菌, Escherichia coli (E。coli ) ,并且 Bacteroides fragilis (B。fragilis ) ,被即时量的聚合酶链反应测试检测细菌的 16S rRNA/DNA 以便决定每特定的种的 DNA 拷贝数字。Immunohistochemical 试金被用来在老鼠冒号观察 TNF-12 和 IL-12 的表示。结果:HPM 治疗在 UC 老鼠的结肠的纸巾禁止了 immunopathology;一般词法分数和 immunopathological 分数显著地与模型组相比在 HPM 和 SA 组被减少[ 3.5 ( 2.0-4.0 ), 3.0 ( 1.5-3.5 )对 6.0 ( 5.5-7.0 ), P < 0.05 为将军词法 20 ,和 3.00 ( 2.00-3.50 ), 3.00 ( 2.50-3.50 )对 5.00 ( 4.50-5.50 ), P < 0.01 为 immunopathological 得分]。是由 DNA 拷贝数字测量了,我们发现 Bifidobacterium 和乳杆菌,与一个健康冒号被联系,比在模型组在 HPM 和 SA 组是显著地更高的(1.395 ? 跱?
AIM: To investigate the effect of moxibustion on intestinal flora and release of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) from the colon in rat with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS: A rat model of UC was established by local stimulation of the intestine with supernatant from colonic contents harvested from human UC patients. A total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following groups: normal (sham), model (UC), herb-partition moxibustion (HPM-treated), and positive control sulfasalazine (SA-treated). Rats treated with HPM received HPM at acupuncture points ST25 and RN6, once a day for 15 min, for a total of 8 d. Rats in the SA group were perfused with SA twice a day for 8 d. The colonic histopathology was observed by hematoxylin-eosin. The levels of intestinal flora, including Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Bacteroides fragilis (B. fragilis), were tested by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction to detect bacterial 16S rRNA/DNA in order to determine DNA copy numbers of each specific species. Immunohistochemical assays were used to observe the expression of TNF-α and IL-12 in the rat colons. RESULTS: HPM treatment inhibited immunopathology in colonic tissues of UC rats; the general morphological score and the immunopathological score were significantly decreased in the HPM and SA groups compared with the model group [3.5 (2.0-4.0), 3.0 (1.5-3.5) vs 6.0 (5.5-7.0), P 〈 0.05 for the general morphological score, and 3.00 (2.00-3.50), 3.00 (2.50-3.50) vs 5.00 (4.50-5.50), P 〈 0.01 for the immunopathological score]. As measured by DNA copy number, we found that Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, which are associated with a healthy colon, were significantly higher in the HPM and SA groups than in the model group (1.395 ± 1.339, 1.461 ± 1.152 vs 0.045 ± 0.036, P 〈 0.01 for Bifidobacterium, and 0.395 ± 0.325, 0.851 ± 0.651 vs 0.0015 ± 0.0014, P 〈 0.0
