[Research on Acupuncture in Regulating the Inflammatory Reaction in Anti-ischemia-reperfusion Injury].

The inflammatory response during ischemia-reperfusion is one of principal reasons for secondary organ injury. Therefore, the inhibition of inflammation has become a research hot spot. The current research showed that acupuncture can not only directly inhibit the infiltration of inflammatory cells and regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines, but is also involved in the overall regulation of the inflammatory signaling pathway and inhibition of the inflammatory response, thereby effectively improving ischemia-reperfusion injury. Here, we review research on the mechanism of acupuncture in ischemia-reperfusion injury via regulation of the inflammatory response.
