Institute of Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Anhui Academy of Chinese Medicine, Hefei, Anhui, China.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of moxibustion on the colonic mucosal barrier and gut microbiota in a rat model of cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS).
Method: The CIS rat model was established using the modified Zea Longa suture method. Successfully modeled rats were randomly allocated into a model group and a moxibustion group, with a sham surgery group serving as the control.
Exploring the Mechanism of Shi-San-Wei-He-Zhong-Wan in the Treatment of Functional Dyspepsia Based on Network Pharmacology and Experimental Validation.

Renowned Medical Clinic, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine, 300 Shouchun Road, Hefei, 230031, Anhui, China.
Purpose: The incidence of Functional Dyspepsia (FD) is gradually increasing, yet there are currently no effective treatment methods available. This study explored the effective components, potential targets, and pathways of Shi-San-Wei-He-Zhong-Wan (SSWHZW) in the treatment of FD, aiming to provide new insights into its treatment.
Methods: First, the Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and GeneCards databases were utilized to identify the major active components of SSWHZW and potential therapeutic targets of FD.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how a treatment called electroacupuncture (EA) can help rats with a diarrhea-related tummy problem known as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).
- The researchers tested this treatment by checking how many loose stools the rats had and how sensitive their tummies were when poked.
- The results showed that EA helped the rats by making their loose stools less frequent and reducing inflammation in their intestines, which means it might help protect their tummy lining.
Objectives: To explore the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Baihui" (GV20) and "Shenting" (GV24) on the microvascular structure and related protein expression in the hippocampus of vascular dementia (VD) rat model, and to investigate the mechanism of EA in the treatment of VD.
Methods: A total of 24 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, EA, and oxiracetam groups, with 6 rats in each group. Multiple cerebral infarction method was used to establish VD model.
Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion on serum inflammatory factors, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-κB) in colon tissue of rats with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D)，so as to explore the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of IBS-D.
Methods: Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group and moxibustion group, with 8 rats in each group. The IBS-D model was established by chronic restraint combined with gavage of Senna-leaf solution.
