| 1 | Scalp electroacupuncture at the Baihui acupoint (DU 20) improves functional recovery in rats with cerebral ischemia Association with increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factors显示文摘In this study, we induced cerebral infarction in rats by occluding the right middle cerebral artery, and tested the effects of electroacupuncture at the Baihui acupoint (DU 20). Motor and sensory function was tested using Garcia’s scale and motor weakness grading, and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the brain was quantified using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. We found that scalp electroacupuncture at DU 20 significantly improved motor performance and sensory function in rats with stroke, and this was accompanied by an increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the ischemic brain tissue and peri-ischemic area. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis showed that the improvements in functional recovery were correlated with the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. | Min-Wook Kim You Chul Chung Hee Chan Jung Moon-Seo Park Young-Min Han Yong-An Chung Lee-So Maeng Sang-In Park Jiyeon Lim Seung Chan Kim Woo-Seok Im Jin Young Chung Minky Kim Manho Kim | 2011 | Neural Regeneration Research2011，6，36： | 4 |
