[Effect of acupuncture-moxibustion stimulation of combined "Biao-Ben" acupoints on autonomic nervous activity and related factors in rats with irritable bowel syndrome diarrhea].

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion of the combined "Biao-Ben" acupoints on autonomic nervous function and related factors in rats with irritable bowel syndrome diarrhea (IBS-D).

Methods: Female SD rats were randomly divided into normal control, IBS-D model, "Biao-Ben" acupoint combination, and conventional acupoint combination groups, with 10 rats in each group. The IBS-D model was established by repeated chronic stress stimulation (water or food deprivation, painful tail pinching, exposure to a 43 ℃ environment, forced swimming in 4 ℃ water, day-night inversion and horizontal vibration) for 28 d, and followed by acute restraint stress (wrapping of shoulders, forelimbs and trunk) for 1 h and gavage of senna fluid, once daily for 28 d.

[Mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion with "Biao-Ben" acupoint combination in treating irritable bowel syndrome rats by regulating serum metabolites and metabolic pathway based on TM widely targeted metabolomics method].

Objective: To investigate the effect of acupuncture-moxibustion with "Biao-Ben" acupoint combination (BB) on the serum metabolites and metabolic pathway in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) model rats, so as to explore the mechanisms of BB in the prevention and treatment of IBS.

Methods: Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, model group, and BB group, with 10 rats in each group. The IBS model was established by the combination of acute stress method and chronic stress method, and the success of the model establishment was evaluated by abdominal wall reflex (AWR).
