Hippocampal Anti-inflammatory Effect of Electroacupuncture at Baihui and Shenting on Cognitive Dysfunction Induced by Systemic Inflammation by CHEN Xiaomei, PANG Lina, WANG Zhifu

“…After the behavioral experiment, immunofluorescence and ELISA were used to detect the changes of hippocampal Iba-1, TNF-α and serum TNF-α.Results1) Compared with the control group, the learning and memory time related to "what-where-when" in the model group was decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and serum TNF-α (3 h after LPS) and hippocampal TNF-α (24 h) were significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01); immunofluorescence and ELISA detection showed that hippocampal Iba-1 was significantly increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01) in the model group. 2) Compared with the model group, "what" and "when" learning time in the EA group increased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01); the serum and hippocampal TNF-α were obviously decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01 and <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); hippocampal Iba-1 in the EA group was decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionElectroacupuncture at Baihui and Shenting may improve the cognitive dysfunction caused by systemic inflammation via inhibiting the activation of hippocampal microglia and reducing the release of inflammatory factor TNF-α in the peripheral blood and hippocampal regions.…”
