Electroacupuncture alleviates acute myocardial ischemic injury in mice by regulating the β adrenergic receptor and post-receptor protein kinase A signaling pathway.

Objective: To determine the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) and post-receptor protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway after acute myocardial ischemia (MI).

Methods: An MI model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery of wild-type (WT) C57/BL and β-AR mice (heterozygous for β-AR gene deletion). EA treatment was administered at HT5-HT7 or LU9-LU8.

Electroacupuncture Ameliorates Acute Myocardial Ischemic Injury and Long QT Interval in Mice through the -Adrenergic Receptor: Electrophysiological, Morphological, and Molecular Evidence.

Acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) is a condition caused by a decrease in blood flow to the heart that can sometimes predispose to acquired long QT syndrome (LQTS), thereby resulting in sudden cardiac death. Recent evidence indicates that electroacupuncture (EA) can alleviate MI injury, but its specific mechanism remains unclear. This study was aimed at investigating the efficacy of EA, which utilizes -adrenergic receptors ( -AR) in alleviating MI injury as well as the resulting LQTS.

[Molecular mechanism of locus coeruleus involved in acupuncture anti-myocardial ischemia based on transcriptome sequencing].

Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of locus coeruleus（LC） involved in electroacupuncture (EA) anti myocardial ischemia.

Methods: Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation, model, EA and EA +lesion groups, with 6 rats in each group. The acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) model was established by ligation of the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery.

[Analysis of "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" in the human body].

Focusing on the original text record in (), the relevant theories of "Tianyou (TE 16) and five regions" are explored, e.g. acupoint names, meridians and acupoint features, and the clinical application of these acupoints has been analyzed.

A double-label time-resolved fluorescent strip for rapidly quantitative detection of carbofuran residues in agro-products.

A rapid and quantitative time-resolved fluorescent immunochromatographic assay (TRFICA) for detecting carbofuran residues in agro-products was reported in this paper. This assay was developed based on double-label immunoprobes, one of which was a carbofuran-specific antibody coupled with europium microbeads for the test (T) line signal while the other was mouse IgG coupled with europium microbeads for the control (C) line signal. Quantitative relationships between carbofuran concentrations and T/C ratios were established to determine the analyte concentration.
