Effect of Acupuncture Therapy on Immune Function of Rats Endometriosis

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture therapy on endometriosis(EMT) and its immunological mechanism.Methods:EMT model of rats were set up.30 Rats were divided into three groups: normal group,EMT model group,and acupuncture group.The levels of serum IgA,IgG,IgM,and the function of CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8,and the activity of natural killer(NK) cells,and the secreting levels of IL-1,IL-6 in serum were measured.Results:Acupuncture suppressed the increased humoral immunity reactive in EMT,improved the function of cell immunity,enhanced significantly NK activity,and reduced the secreting levels of IL-1,IL-6 in serum.Conclusions:Acupuncture therapy can relieve the disturbances of immune function in EMT.
