[Progress of researches on acupuncture-moxibustion promoting wound repair].

Wound is a common surgical disease characterized by skin defect or functional limitation. Studies have found that acupuncture-moxibustion plays an important role in wound healing. In this paper, we reviewed the mechanisms of acupuncture-moxibustion in promoting wound repair.

[Moxibustion at "Zusanli"(ST36) mitigates senescence in subacute aging rats via regulating SIRT1/p53 signaling pathway].

Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion at "Zusanli"(ST36) on the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) /p53 signaling pathway in subacute aging model rats, so as to reveal its mechanisms in delaying aortic aging.

Methods: Male SD rats were divided into blank group, model group, prevention group and treatment group, with 20 rats in each group. Subacute aging model was established by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose(500 mg·kg·d).
