Objective: Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic,nonspecific and recurrent intestinal inflammatory disease.The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease is rising,which has become a global disease in the newly industrialized countries,including Asia,and has caused great burden to the society and economy.EA is effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.It is simple,safe and easy to operate.It is widely used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.By establishing a visceral inflammatory pain model,this study screened the TNBS solubility of the best model and the internal target of treating inflammatory bowel disease by EA.The aim of this study was to explore the peripheral immune mechanism of EA in the treatment of inflammatory pain and provide a scientific basis for the treatment of inflammatory pain.The IBD model was established with the aqueous ethanol solution of different volume gradient TNBS solution +50%.The DAI score,colon length,propulsive rate,histology score,survival rate,Elisa detection serum and the content of IL-beta in colon tissue were tested,and the optimal TNBS model volume for the establishment of inflammatory bowel disease model was selected.In the selection of acupoint,the Evans blue tail vein was injected to observe the exudation point of Evans blue on the body surface of the rat.The sensitized and non-sensitized acupoints were selected according to the location of the exudation point,and the Bristol score,mechanical pain threshold and pathological injury of the colon were compared by EA and non-sensitized acupoints.The length of intestine is to provide scientific evidence for studying the mechanism of EA treatment of IBD and the basis of selecting points.The previous study of our group showed that EA could inhibit the expression of inflammatory factors by activating endogenous cannabinoid receptor type II receptor(CB2R),thus exerting analgesic effect.Therefore,this study would provide a theoretical basis for the treatment ofinflammatory bowel disease by EA as the starting target of EA in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.The clinical application provides the experimental basis.Method : 1.40 male SPF grade C57BL/6(20-25g)mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal group(solvent control group),80mg/kg TNBS+50% anhydrous ethanol group,100mg/kg TNBS+50%anhydrous ethanol group and 120mg/kg TNBS+50% anhydrous ethanol group with 10 rats in each group.The DAI score,the length of the rectum,the HS score and the survival rate of the mice were measured.2.Adult male SPF grade SD rats,except the normal group(10)were enema through the anus saline,and the rest were carried out with TNBS solution enema to establish the inflammatory bowel disease model.10 model rats were randomly selected through the tail injection of Evan blue to observe the body surface exudation point and determine the sensitized and non-sensitized acupoints.The other 30 rats were randomly divided into three groups: model group,electro acupuncture acupoint group,and electro acupuncture nonsensitization acupoint group,10 rats in each group.The treatment points for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease were determined by comparing the Bristol score,the mechanical pain threshold,the histological score of the colonic pathological injury,the propulsive rate and the length of the rectum.3.There were 90 SPF male C57BL/6(20-25g)mice.The experimental A:40mice were randomly divided into the normal group,the model group,the EA group and the false EA group according to the random number table.Each group was divided into 10 rats in each group.DAI score,mechanical pain threshold,HS score,colon length and propulsive rate were measured.The protein expression levels of CB1 R,CB2R,IL-1β and SP in colon tissue were measured by DAI score,mechanical pain threshold,HS score,colon length and propulsive rate,and Western blot,and the expression of CB2 R coexpression and CB1 R was detected by immunofluorescence histochemical method,and the morphological structure of colon tissue was observed by HE staining.Experiment B:50 C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into 5groups: normal group,model group,EA group,EA +CB1R receptor antagonist AM251 group(EA+AM251),EA +CB2 receptor antagonist AM630group(EA+AM630),10 rats in each group.CB1 R and CB2 R antagonists were intraperitoneally injected with 30 min before EA.DAI score,mechanical pain threshold,HS score,colon length,propulsive rate,and Western blot were used to detect the expression of IL-1β and SP protein.Result:1.Effects of different volume gradient TNBS on DAI,HS,colon length,propelling rate,survival rate and related biochemical indexes in colitis mice1)DAI score: 7 days after model building,120mg/kg TNBS>100mg/kg TNBS group>80mg/kg

colon of the model group had obvious lesion structure,such as lost epithelial cells,goblet cell loss,inflammatory cellinfiltration,recess disappearance,or EA group,showing less epithelial abscission,ulceration and leukocyte infiltration,and thickening of the musculus muscularis.In addition to relieving the symptoms of upper dermatitis,the EA group observed better and less vascular proliferation from the form of colonic crypt.5.Effects of cannabinoid receptor antagonists on HS score,propelling rate,rectal length,mechanical pain,DAI score,SP and IL-1β protein expression levels1)compared with the normal group,the HS score,the propelling rate and the length of the rectum in the model group and the antagonist group were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no

days to the end of the experiment,and the mechanical pain threshold was significantly increased(P<0.05),and the analgesic effect of the EA could be reversed by the antagonist,so that the DAI score was scored.There was no significant difference between mechanical pain threshold and model group(P>0.05).3)compared with the normal group,the protein expression level of SP and IL-1β in the colon tissue of the model group was significantly increased(P<0.05),while the EA could significantly reduce the protein expression level of SP and IL-1 β in the colon tissue of IBD(P<0.05),and CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonists could significantly reverse the expression of IL-1 β and SP inIBD colon tissue induced by TNBS.Inhibitory effect(P<0.05).Conclusion: 1.According to DAI score,colon length and evaluation of IL-1βin colon tissue,120mg/kg TNBS group was better than group 100mg/kg TNBS.According to propelling rate,serum IL-1β,HS score and survival rate analysis,both doses can be used for model..If the sample size was large and the survival rate was considered,the 100mg/kg TNBS group could be selected;and this study was comprehensive.In view of the above factors,the dosage of80mg/kg TNBS was chosen when TNBS established the IBD model.2.The exudation point of EB in inflammatory bowel disease is mainly distributed in the back and is symmetrical near the midline,which is highly correlated with the distribution of back Shu points.The area of exudation on the back of rat is highly correlated with the area of bilateral "Da Chang Shu" area.Very few EB exudates are distributed in the thoracic segment.Therefore,combining acupuncture and moxibustion with acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of diarrhea and acupoints,we chose bilateral "Da Chang Shu"(BL25)as the treatment acupoint of sensitized acupoint group.As the exudation point is less in the thoracic area,the bilateral "Xinshu" point(BL15)in the thoracic segment is used as the treatment point for the non-sensitized acupoint group.EA sensitized acupoints can reduce the score of BSS,HS score,propulsive rate,length of rectum,and improve mechanical pain threshold to improve the regulation mechanism of intestinal dysfunction and visceral pain sensitivity in IBD rats.3.EA can regulate the HS score,propulsive rate,length of rectum,DAI score and mechanical pain threshold induced by TNBS in mice with inflammatory bowel disease.4.EA can regulate the HS score,propulsive rate,length of rectum,DAI score and mechanical pain threshold induced by TNBS induced IBD in mice,and promote the activation of CB1 R and CB2 R in the colon tissue of IBD modelmice,and inhibit the expression of inflammatory factor IL-1 β and pain induced SP,and improve the structure of colon.CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonists can significantly reverse the inhibitory effect of EA on the expression of IL-1β and SP protein in the colon tissue induced by TNBS and the regulation of HS score,propulsive rate,rectal length,DAI score and mechanical pain threshold in mice with inflammatory bowel disease,indicating that CB1 R and CB2 R can be activated by EA in inflammatory bowel disease and play the role of the town.The effect of pain and regulation of intestinal dysfunction.
