Research Progress on the Mechanism of Acupuncture Treatment of Ischemic Stroke Based on the Space Construction of Nerve-vascular Unit by LI Mengxing, WNAG Yu, LI Zhen, LIU Fang, SHI Kejian

“…ObjectiveTo explore the research progress of the mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of ischemic stroke (IS), based on the changes in the spatial architecture of neurovascular unit (NVU) after cerebral ischemia.MethodsThe research result of NVU in the field of neuroscience and research status of acupuncture treatment of IS was summarized by referring to domestic and foreign literature. It is mainly discussed on acupuncture research from the structural function of NVU to the spatial structure changes in IS, with neurons as the one-dimensional target, neurons, brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) as the two-dimensional target, and with neurons, BMEC and glial cells as the multi-dimensional target.ResultsMost of the previous studies on acupuncture treatment of IS only stayed at a single level of neuron or angiogenesis regulation, and rarely involved the research on the overall NVU and the interaction among its components. …”
