Objective: To explore a method of analyzing the components of anti-asthma activity in serum derived from rats treated with acupuncture. Methods: SDS-PAGE was used to analyze the diversity of the components of serum derived from rats treated with or without acupuncture treatment. Results: SDS-PAGE images displayed that there are one deeply dyed band, whose molecular weight is 62.1 kDa, in the component I from asthma acupuncture group and ADX-asthma acupuncture group, two deeply dyed bands, whose molecular weight are 36. lkDa and 12.3 kDa, respectively, in the component Ⅲ of ADX-asthma acupuncture group, and one dyed band, whose molecular weight is 34.6 kDa, in the segment Ⅲ of ADX-asthma acupuncture group. Conclusion: Acupuncture treatment could produce different components in the serum of rats, and may have bidirectional regulation on protein components in serum.
Acupuncture is one of the common treatment methods in China, and its clinical effectiveness has now been accepted in many countries or it has been expanded worldwide and applied as a medical modality. In China, clinical practice has proved that the indications of acupuncture include more than 300 disorders in nervous system, endocrine system, immune system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, urinary system, reproductive system, blood system, sensory system and motor system, and the indications are increasingly created with the development of the clinical application of acupuncture Since 1949, China has attached great importance to the devdopment of Chinese medicine cause, invested a large amount of money to finance Chinese medicine, and achieved fruitful results, as a result, to maintain the leading role of acupuncture in the world. Preceding researches have proven that acupuncture is effective in clinical practice, and it works in bi-directional regulation by many procedures such as nerve-endocrineim-munenetwork, which undoubtedly shows the objectivity of acupuncture effects. Above research achievements have called extensive attention across the world.
