Gerbils subjected to global ischemia or sham-ischemia received electro-acupuncture (EA) or sham EA at points 26 Du (Renzhong) and 8 Du (Junsuo). All animals were then tested for motor activity in an open field, and for spontaneous alternation in a T maze. Results show that EA alone did not affect any behavioral parameter. Ischemia alone increased motor activity without significantly interfering with spontaneous alternation. EA in ischemic gerbils potentiated the increase of motor activity and elicited a decrease in spontaneous alternation. Thus, our data show an interaction between global ischemia and EA applied at specific acupoints which, however, consists of a potentiation rather than an alleviation of the behavioral alterations consecutive to the ischemic insult.
对遭受全脑缺血或假缺血的沙鼠，在督脉26穴（人中）和督脉8穴（巨阙）进行电针（EA）或假电针治疗。然后对所有动物进行旷场运动活动测试和T迷宫自发交替测试。结果表明，单独电针不影响任何行为参数。单独缺血增加了运动活动，但对自发交替没有显著干扰。缺血沙鼠电针增强了运动活动的增加，并导致自发交替减少。因此，我们的数据显示全脑缺血与特定穴位电针之间存在相互作用，然而，这种相互作用表现为对缺血损伤后行为改变的增强而非减轻。
