“…In the third lumbar vertebrae transverse process syndrome model, EA at ST36 decreased mRNA expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, and iNOS in third lumbar vertebrae muscle tissues. This result shows that EA can exert anti-inflammatory effects through downregulating the concentration of main proinflammatory cytokines and iNOS, which generates NO and inflammatory responses ( 88 ).…”

So far, a number of acupuncture studies have shown anti-inflammatory effects of acupuncture treatment, mostly known at specific point ST36. However, there is no literature that oversaw the inflammation-regulatory effects of acupuncture in each tissue. Therefore, we investigated how acupuncture at specific acupoint ST36 regulates inflammation and its underlying mechanisms. We searched literatures on PubMed until July 2021 using the keywords “animal, acupuncture, ST36, inflammation, immune,” and 292 literatures were searched. We ultimately selected 69 studies to determine the anti-inflammatory actions of acupuncture at ST36 and classified the changes of inflammatory mediators according to target regions. Forty-three studies were included in body fluids, 27 studies in the digestive system, 17 studies in the nervous system, and 30 studies in other tissues or organs. In this review, we found that acupuncture at ST36 has clinical benefits in relieving inflammation through several mechanisms such as vagus nerve activation, toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signaling, macrophage polarization, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. We expect that these data will inform further studies related to ST36 acupuncture on inflammation.

“…A recent clinical study suggested that TEAS downregulates proinflammatory factors, such as C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), IL-1, IL-6, TNF- α , and C–C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) in response to lower limb ischemia-reperfusion [ 16 ]. While, the animal study suggested that TENS inhibited the expression of IL-1 β , TNF- α , and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) [ 17 ]. As a type of acupuncture, TEAS combines TENS and acupoint therapy together [ 5 ].…”

Purpose. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is widely used. However, no study evaluated TEAS on systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) of patients after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The study was to evaluate TEAS on SIRS of patients after PCNL. Methods. 67 patients were enrolled and divided into group TEAS and group sham TEAS. Data were collected from 60 participants finally. In the study, TEAS or sham TEAS on bilateral Shenshu (BL23), Yinlingquan (SP9), Hegu (LI4), and Neiguan (PC6) was performed continuously throughout the procedure. The primary outcome included the incidence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) within 48 h after surgery. The secondary outcomes included the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines, hemodynamics changes, complications, and hospital stay after surgery. The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α and interleukin- (IL-) 6, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) at 30 min before anesthesia (T0), the time after surgery (T1), 24 h postoperation (T2), and 48 h postoperation (T3) were recorded. The consumption of analgesic during surgery was also recorded, as well as the complications and duration of hospital stay after PCNL. Results. The incidence of SIRS in group TEAS was lower than group sham TEAS (30% vs. 6.67%, p = 0.023 ). Compared with the sham TEAS group, both levels of TNF-α and IL-6 at T1, T2, and T3 were lower in the TEAS group ( p < 0.05 ). The levels of MAP and HR in sham TEAS at T1, T2, and T3 were markedly higher than that in the TEAS group ( p < 0.05 ). The total consumption of propofol and remifentanil during surgery in group TEAS was lower than that in the sham TEAS group. The incidence of hypotension, hypertension, emergence agitation, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was also lower in group TEAS after PCNL ( p < 0.05 ). Conclusions. TEAS could effectively reduce the incidence of SIRS and inflammatory cytokines for patients who underwent PCNL. In addition, TEAS helped to maintain the hemodynamic stability and cut down the consumption of analgesics during PCNL, reducing the complications after PCNL.

“…An intervertebral disc may fall out of its damaged outer rings due to medical condiververtibral dissection, often known as PLID or a sliding disc. When a person loses control of their bladder or bowels, they should seek emergency medical attention [6][7][8][9]. A herniated or ruptured disc in the lumbar spine may cause lower back and leg pain.…”

Adults often complain of back and sciatic discomfort. People and the country suffer huge financial losses as a result of shorter working hours. Before treating these patients, a thorough examination is required. A lack of medical or surgical treatment may aggravate symptoms. The goal of this study is to determine if acupuncture has any impact on the symptoms of PLID. This inquiry took place at Suo-Xi Hospital, Shaan Tower, Chamelibagh, Santinagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A 43-year-old female patient has been experiencing low back discomfort that radiates down her left leg for the last four months. The diagnosis was confirmed with an MRI of the cervical spine. The follow-up research yielded good findings. After suffering from lower back discomfort for the previous five months, the patient felt much better on the second day of acupuncture and the reduced low back pain was no longer existent. Patients with PLID may benefit from acupuncture, according to this research.
