[Comparative study on effects of static pressure stimulation on release of PGE2 and IL-6 in fibroblasts in the rat "Zusanli" and its adjacent areas].

Objective: To provide some possible theoretical and experimental basis for the modern biomedical mechanism of "receiving stimulation, preventing and treating diseases", by exploring the effects of pressure signal's biological transformation of rat "Zusanli" (ST 36) fascia tissue fibroblasts under mechanical stimulation.

Methods: Pressure was given on rat "Zusanli" (ST 36) and its adjacent area's fascia tissue cells cultured in vitro and identified by morphology. The contents of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in culture medium were detected.
