Effect of Acupuncture on MMP-2/9 and VEGF Expression in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Model Rats by Xinyi HUANG, Zhuolin YANG, Qiulei MA, Qingzhang ZHOU, Xiaozhuo SUN

“…Objective:To observe the effect of acupuncture at different time points on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2/9 (MMP-2/9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rats at acupoints Neiguan and Shuigou, so as to explore the mechanism of acupuncture on angiogenesis and neural protection.Methods:A total of 135 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into mock surgical group, model 3 h group, model 9 h group, model 24 h group, model 48 h group, 3 h acupuncture group, 9 h acupuncture group, 24 h acupuncture group, 48 h acupuncture group, with 15 animals in each group; the ICH model was made by the caudate nucleus autologous slow blood injection method and the MMP-2/9 and VEGF positive cell counts were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:The blood-brain barrier MMP-2,MMP-9 and VEGF positive cells in the 3,9,24,48 h acupuncture groups were significantly lower than those of model group at the same time, compared with the 9,24,48 h acupuncture groups, the reduction of MMP-2 and MMP-9 positive cells was more obvious in the 3 h acupuncture group. …”

Gender-associated features in diabetic kidney disease by S.S. Safarova

“…Additionally, men were more likely to have adverse risk factors, including dyslipidemia, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and glomerular filtration rate, which are factors involved in the mechanisms of DKD. In summary, the results indicate that: 1) women with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at a higher risk of developing a normoalbuminuric phenotype of diabetic kidney disease, while men are at a higher risk of developing an albuminuric phenotype of diabetic kidney disease leading to renal failure and end-stage renal disease; 2) gender differences are most noticeable among older adults and may have significant implications for the development of more effective diagnostic and treatment methods for diabetic kidney disease, tailored to individual needs.…”
