Adjuvant arthritic (AA) rats were used as the experimental model and the thickness of pedal pad, the circumference and the pathological (light microscopic changes of the ankle joint as well as the plasma content of middle sized molecules (MSM) were studied before and at subsequent experimental days after moxibustion (once a day for 6 days, on Shenque acupoint). The results showed that moxibustion reduced the inflammatory reactions significantly in comparison with that of the control group.
采用佐剂性关节炎（AA）大鼠作为实验模型，观察艾灸（每天1次，共6天，灸神阙穴）前及随后实验天数的足垫厚度、踝关节周长、踝关节病理（光镜下改变）以及血浆中分子物质（MSM）含量。结果显示，与对照组相比，艾灸显著减轻了炎症反应。
