Abstract: | Objective:To observe the analgesic effect of different drug point injection therapy in rats of adjuvant arthritis and study the mechanisms.Method:42 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal control group,the model group,the group of point injection with red sage,the group of point injection with Chinese angelica,the group of point injection with bee toxin,the group of point injection with Zhengqing Fengtong Ning.Zusanli(S 36)and Kunlun(B 60) of right side and Shengshu(B 23) of both sides were selected for pointinjection.Changes of pain threshold,extent of swelling of joint,and contents of 5 hydroxytryptamine(5 HT),prostaglandin E 2(PGE 2),dopamine(DA) in inflammatory tissue were observed.Result:The four therapies all had therapeutic effect on adjuvant arthritis.The group of bee toxin and Chinese angelica had the action of increasing pain threshold and decreasing the contents of 5 HT and PGE 2,and their effects were much better than those of the other two groups.The content of DA were similar among the four groups.Conclusion:The analgesic effects of acupoint injection with bee venom and Chinese angelica on adjuvant arthritis were superior to those of the other two drugs. |
