“…Before surgery for one day, after reperfusion for 12 h and after reperfusion for 1,3,7 days, the grip tester was used to measure the forelimb grasping strength; after reperfusion for 7 days, ELISA methods was used to determine the content of IL-17A and IL-10 in serum, Western blot method was used to detect the expression of IL-17A and IL-10 protein in ischemic cortex and colon tissue, immunohistochemistry method was used to calculate the average optical density (AOD) value of IL-17A and IL-10 in ischemic cortex and colon tissue, and HE staining method was used to observe the pathological change of ischemic cortex.Results① Forelimb grasping strength: compared with the S-con group, the forelimb grasping strength of rats in the M-con group after reperfusion for 12 h, 1 d, 3 d,
7 d was decreased significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.05); compared with the M-con group, the forelimb grasping strength of rats in the EP group was increased significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.05). ② Content of IL-17A and IL-10 in serum: after reperfusion for 7 days , compared with the S-con group, the content of serum IL-17A and IL-10 of rats in the M-con group were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05); compared with the M-con group, the content of serum IL-17A in the EP group were significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and IL-10 in the EP group were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05). ③ Expression of IL-17A and IL-10 protein: after reperfusion for 7 days, compared with the S-con group, the expression of IL-17A and IL-10 protein in ischemic cortex and colon tissue in the M-con group were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05); compared with the M-con group, the expression of IL-17A in the EP group was significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and the expression of IL-10 protein in the EP group was significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05). ④ AOD value of IL-17A and IL-10: after reperfusion for 7 days, compared with the S-con group, the AOD value of IL-17A and IL-10 in ischemic cortex and colon tissue in the M-con group were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05); compared with the M-con group, the AOD value of IL-17A in the EP group was significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic><0.05), the AOD value of IL-10 in the EP group was significantly increased (<italic>P</italic><0.05). ⑤ Pathological change of ischemic cortex: after reperfusion for 7 days, compared with the M-con group, the pathological change of ischemic cortex in EP group was significantly decreased (<italic>P</italic><0.05).ConclusionElectroacupuncture preconditioning at Baihui and Zusanli acupoints can reduce the pathological damage degree of the ischemic cortex and intestinal-central inflammation, improve neurobehavioral function, which may be related to brain-gut protection.…”
