title: [Progress of studies on the mechanism of acupuncture treatment of acute ischemic cerebral stroke].
abstract: In the present paper, the authors review the current development of studies on mechanisms of acupuncture treatment of acute ischemic cerebral apoplexy from (1) blood rheology, (2) cerebral microcirculation, 3) metabolism of cerebral tissue, (4) cerebral electrical activity, (5) free radicals and lipid peroxidation reaction, (6) excitatory aminoacid, (7) calcium overload, (8) nitrogen monoxidum, and (9) cerebral apoptosis. Cerebral stroke includes ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Ischemic cerebral stroke accounted for about 60%-70% of all the stroke cases. At present, the main remedies for treating acute ischemic cerebral stroke includes thrombolysis, anti-platelet aggregation, improving microcirculation and symptomatic therapy.
