Methods Thirty-two young rabbits meeting the standards were selected from 40 ordinary young male New Zealand rabbits after being adapted for 7 d, and randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a large pushing Tianheshui group, and an ibuprofen group according to the random number table method, with 8 rabbits in each group. Rabbits in the model group, the large pushing Tianheshui group, and the ibuprofen group were subjected to preparing the endotoxin-induced fever model by intravenous lipopolysaccharide from the marginal ear vein. Rabbits in the large pushing Tianheshui group received Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) manipulation intervention 1.5 h and 2.5 h after modeling, respectively. Rabbits in the ibuprofen group were intragastrically given ibuprofen suspension 1.5 h after modeling. The dynamic changes in body temperature were observed for the young rabbits after fever modeling. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the content changes in positive mediators of hypothalamic body temperature, including prostaglandin (PG) E 2 and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), as well as negative mediators of hypothalamic body temperature, including arginine vasopressin (AVP) and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Results The body temperature of the young rabbits in the model group was significantly higher than that in the normal group at 0.5–4.0 h, 5.0 h, and 5.5 h after modeling ( P <0.01), showing two obvious fever peaks in the model group at 1.5 h and 3.0 h after modeling, respectively, with the highest peak at 1.5 h. Compared with the model group, body temperatures of the large pushing Tianheshui group and the ibuprofen group decreased significantly after 0.5 h of intervention ( P <0.05). Compared with the normal group, the contents of PGE 2 and cAMP were significantly increased ( P <0.05), and the contents of AVP and α-MSH were significantly decreased ( P <0.01) in the hypothalamus of the model group. Compared with the model group, the contents of PGE 2 and cAMP were significantly decreased ( P <0.01), and the levels of AVP and a-MSH were significantly increased ( P <0.01) in the hypothalamus in the large pushing Tianheshui group and the ibuprofen group. There were no significant differences in the PGE 2 , cAMP, AVP, and α-MSH contents in the hypothalamus between the ibuprofen group and the large pushing Tianheshui group ( P >0.05). Conclusion Large pushing Tianheshui manipulation has a significant antipyretic effect on endotoxin-induced fever in young rabbits. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the positive regulators (PGE 2 and cAMP) and promoting the negative regulators (AVP and α-MSH) of hypothalamic control of body temperature.","PeriodicalId":14826,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136162008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods A total of 120 CDH patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 60 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were given the same Tuina manipulations. In addition, patients in the observation group practiced traditional Qigong exercise, and those in the control group did conventional neck exercise. After 8 weeks of treatment, the efficacy of the two groups was observed. Follow-up was conducted 3 months after the end of the treatment to record any recurrence. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group ( P <0.05). The improvement in symptom scores was more significant in the observation group than in the control group ( P <0.05). There was inter-group statistical significance in comparing the cross-sectional area and fatty infiltration of certain cervical muscles ( P <0.05). In addition, the recurrence rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P <0.05). Conclusion On the basis of the same Tuina manipulation treatment, the efficacy of traditional Qigong exercise in treating CDH is superior to that of conventional neck exercise, with more significant improvements in pain and quality of life and a lower recurrence rate.","PeriodicalId":14826,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136161361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
