The efficacy and mechanisms of acupuncture for Crohn's disease (CD) are not well understood. We investigated its effects on symptoms, intestinal microbiota, circulating inflammatory markers in CD patients.This 48-week, randomized, sham controlled, parallel-group clinical trial was performed at a tertiary outpatient clinic China. From April 2015 to November 2019, 66 patients (mean age 40·4, 62·1% were male, all Han Chinese) with mild moderate active unresponsive drug treatment enrolled...
Old pelvis fractures are among the most challenging to treat because of their complex anatomy, difficult-to-access surgical sites, and relatively low incidence such cases. Proper evaluation planning necessary achieve pelvic ring symmetry stable fixation fracture. The goal this study was assess use three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques for management old fractures.First, 16 dried human cadaveric pelvises were used confirm anatomical accuracy 3D models printed based on radiographic data....
Background:Whether Crohn's disease [CD] is correlated with brain structural changes unclear. This study examined in grey matter [GM] structures CD patients and their correlation psychological distress.
Hyperandrogenism is a core factor in the series of reproductive and endocrine metabolic disorders involved polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Abnormalities enzymatic activity expression ovarian granular cell layer P450arom theca P450c17α can lead to an atypical environment local hormones, including excessive androgen levels. Rat models prepared with letrozole exhibit similar histological changes those that occur human PCOS. We used such model study role electro-acupuncture (EA) regulating...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate changes in resting state brain activity remissive Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients after electro-acupuncture or moxibustion treatment. Fifty-two CD and 36 healthy subjects were enrolled, equally randomly assigned receive either treatment for twelve weeks. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging assess Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) levels, Activity Index (CDAI) Inflammatory Bowel Questionnaire (IBDQ) scores evaluate disease severity quality of life....
Abnormal pain processing in the central nervous system may be related to abdominal patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The purpose of this study was investigate changes resting-state brain activity CD remission and its relationship presence pain. Twenty-five pain, 25 without 32 healthy subjects were scanned using a 3.0-T functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Regional homogeneity (ReHo) used assess activity. Daily scores collected 1 week before imaging. We found that exhibited lower...
Acupuncture and moxibustion have been shown to be effective in treating Crohn's disease (CD), but their therapeutic mechanisms remain unclear. Here we compared brain responses either electro-acupuncture or treatment CD patients experiencing remission. A total of 65 were randomly divided into an group (n=32) a (n=33), treated for 12 weeks. Eighteen the 20 underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging at baseline after treatment. Seed-based analysis was used compare...
Previous studies have demonstrated that acupuncture is beneficial to patients with Crohn's disease (CD), but the mechanism underlying its therapeutic effects remains unclear. To identify by which treats CD, balance between Th17 and Treg cells was assessed in CD patients. In this study, Ninety-two were randomly equally assigned a treatment group treated herb-partitioned moxibustion or control wheat bran-partitioned superficial acupuncture. The effect of these treatments on their related...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism and follicular arrest. These two characteristics may result from an imbalance between anti-Müllerian hormone follicle stimulating hormone. Electroacupuncture effective in improving arrest PCOS; however, the mechanism not sufficiently clear. This study aimed to elucidate whether electroacupuncture PCOS exerted regulating of In this study, a rat model polycystic was treated with low-frequency at acupoints (CV-3 CV-4). To...
Abstract Objective To investigate the feasibility of ultra-short echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessment cartilage endplate (CEP) damage and further evaluate relationship between total score (TEPS) lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration for chronic low back pain patients. Materials methods IVD were measured 35 patients using UTE at 3T MR. Subtracted images short long TEs obtained to depict anatomy CEP. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) contrast-to-noise (CNR)...
AIM:To investigate the effects of moxibustion on morphology and function mast cells (MC) at Tianshu (ST25) in rats with trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis.
