摘要
目的
观察针刺及艾灸疗法对化疗骨髓抑制及白细胞计数的影响, 并探讨其作用机制。
方法
采用动物实验和临床研究相结合的方法, 观察针灸对化疗中骨髓及白细胞的影响, 用生物培养法检测造血干祖细胞数量、血清集落刺激因子的活性。
结果
与模型组比较, 针刺及艾灸组外周血白细胞提前1 d开始回升。 针灸促进中性粒细胞分裂增殖最明显。
结论
针灸抗化疗骨髓抑制, 提升白细胞计数的效应可能与促进骨髓细胞向外周血中释放、延长白细胞寿命, 提高血清集落刺激因子的活性, 促使造血干/祖细胞尽快增殖, 减轻化疗药物对造血干/祖细胞的损伤等有关.
Abstract
Objective
To observe the effect of acupuncture-moxibustion therapy on bone marrow suppression and the leukocytes count after chemotherapy, and to explore the mechanism.
Methods
Animal experiments and clinical studies were combined to observe the effect of acupuncture-moxibustion on the bone marrow and leukocytes during chemotherapy. The biological cultivation was used to detect the amount of the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and the activity of the serum colony-stimulating factor (CSF).
Results
The peripheral leukocytes count in the acupuncture-moxibustion group began to rebound 1 d earlier than that in the model group. The effect of acupuncture-moxibustion on neutrophils proliferation was the most obvious.
Conclusion
The effect of acupuncture-moxibustion on resisting bone marrow suppression and rebounding the leukocytes count after chemotherapy may related to releasing the bone marrow cells to peripheral blood, extending the life of leukocyte, increasing the activity of serum CSF, promoting the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell proliferation, and reducing the damage of chemotherapy on the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell.
