Abstract

A total of 32 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups based on the random digits table including a normal group a model group a moxibustion along the meridian group and a moxibustion against the meridian group with 8 rats in each group Except the normal group the other 3 groups were used to make the rat models with blood stasis due to cold retention Rats in the moxibustion along and against the meridian groups accepted moxibustion therapy in different directions on the trunk segment of the Bladder Meridian after successful modeling Moxibustion for 10 min every day and 7 d as a course of treatment Two courses of treatment a total of 14 d were carried out Quantitative score of signs and symptoms change was observed once a week with a total of 7 times Hemorheological indexes of rats were detected when the treatment finishedThe quantitative scores of signs and symptoms in the model moxibustion along the meridian and against the meridian groups were significantly higher than those in the normal group after modeling P005 When the treatment finished the quantitative score of signs and symptoms in the model group was significantly higher than that in the normal group P005 the quantitative scores of signs and symptoms of rats in the moxibustion along and against the meridian groups were significantly lower than that in the model group P005 the quantitative score of signs and symptoms in the moxibustion along the meridian group was significantly lower than that in the moxibustion against the meridian group P005 the whole blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation index in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal group P005 however the increases of erythrocyte hematocrit and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were not obvious P005 whole blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation index in the moxibustion along and against the meridian groups were significantly lower than those in the model group P005 while there were no statistically significant differences between the moxibustion along the meridian group and moxibustion against the meridian group P005Moxibustion along and against the meridian both showed different degrees of improvement for hemorrheology and symptoms of blood stasis due to cold retention Improvement for symptoms of blood stasis due to cold retention was better in the moxibustion along the meridian group than that in the moxibustion against the meridian group The influence on rat hemorrheology showed no significant difference between moxibustion along the meridian and moxibustion against the meridian造模结束后 模型组、顺经灸组和逆经灸组大鼠的症状和体征量化评分明显高于正常组P005。治疗结束后 模型组大鼠症状和体征量化评分明显高于正常组 P005 顺经灸组和逆经灸组大鼠症状和体征量化评分明显低于模型组P005 顺经灸组大鼠症状和体征量 化评分明显低于逆经灸组P005。模型组大鼠全血粘度、红细胞聚集指数较正常组大鼠明显升高P005 但 红细胞压积和血沉升高不明显P005 顺经灸组和逆经灸组大鼠全血粘度、红细胞聚集指数均显著低于模型组 大鼠P005 顺经灸组和逆经灸组两组差异无统计学意义P005。
