ObjectiveStudy the effect of electroacupuncture on permenopausal depressive disorder (PDD) model through the peri-menopausal depression model mice.MethodsKM female mice were selected. Except for the blank group (BG), the other groups of mice were removed by castration method. The mice of PDD was prepared by combining chronic unpredictable stimulation. Mice in the model group (MG) were not treated and fed normally. The western medicine group (WG) was given the corresponding drug for treatment. The electroacupuncture group (EAG) was given the electroacupuncture for treatment, and consecutive for 28 days. The levels of T, E2, FSH and LH in serum of mice were measured, and the brain tissue of 5-HT, DA and NE level were measured. Through the HE staining observed the morphological changes of mice hypothalamus.ResultsCompared with MG, EAG could increase the number of spontaneous activities of PDD model mice, the level of T, E2 in serum and the level of 5-HT, DA, NE in brain tissue was improved, and the level of FSH, LH in serum was reduced, and the hypothalamic lesions was improved.ConclusionElectroacupuncture could improve the activity and memory of PDD mice, adjust the disorder of sex hormone, and increased the levels of monoamine transmitters (5-HT, NE, DA), and it could effectively improve the behavior and related biochemical indexes of PDD, and thus play an important therapeutic role.

Objectives. This study aimed to explore the characteristics and principles of acupoints, which were applied for treating tension-type headache (TTH). Methods. Four databases were searched for the literature studies of treating TTH with acupuncture and moxibustion up to September 1, 2020. Titles, journals, authors, key words, interventions, main acupoints, and outcomes of the included literature studies were extracted and inputted into the self-established Data Excavation Platform of Acupoint Specificity for analysis. Results. In total, 128 papers containing 137 prescriptions, 89 meridian acupoints, and 7 extraordinary acupoints of treating TTH with acupuncture and moxibustion were included. The total frequency of acupoints’ application was 763 times. Fengchi (GB20), Baihui (GV20), Taiyang (EX-HN5), Hegu (LI4), and Taichong (LR3) were used most frequently. The acupoints in Yang meridians were utilized more than those in Yin meridians (66.1% vs. 17.8%), and the acupoints in the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang were applied most commonly. 59.9% (457/763) of the applied acupoints were on the head, face, and neck, and 31.7% (242/763) were on the four limbs. Additionally, the proportion of specific acupoints’ application was 78.2% (597/763). Conclusions. The prescription of Fengchi (GB20), Baihui (GV20), Taiyang (EX-HN5), Hegu (LI4), and Taichong (LR3) might be relatively reasonable in clinical practices of treating TTH with acupuncture, which should be verified in further studies.
