ObjectiveBased on the idea of "preventing disease" with acupuncture,this study firstly screened the early stress-induced gastric mucosal lesions(SGML)by comparing the effects of water-immersion restraint stress(WRS)on the morphological structure and function of gastric mucosa in rats.Then,the effects of electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli acupoint on the morphological structure and function of gastric mucosa in early SGML rats and the distribution,number and degranulation of mast cells(MCs)in the acupoint area were observed.Subsequently,the correlation between the protective effect of electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli acupoint on gastric mucosa in early SGML rats and Mast cells in Zusanli acupoint was evaluated.the correlation between the protective effect of electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli acupoint on gastric mucosa in early SGML rats and Mast cells in Zusanli acupoint.On this basis,acupuncture sera of rats preconditioned with electroacupuncture at Zusanli acupoint were extracted and used for in vitro culture of rat normal gastric mucosal epithelial cell line RGM1,and the effect of different sources of rat acupuncture serum

rat model with shallow lesion and mild damage.(2)electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli can reduce the damage of gastric mucosal morphological structure in early SGML rats,increase gastric mucosal mucus volume,reduce the number and degranulation of gastric mucosal MCs,inhibit the activation of gastric mucosal NF-?B signaling pathway,and reduce the release of inflammatory factors IL-33,TNF-?,IL-6,and IL-17 in gastric mucosa,exerts a protective effect on gastric mucosa in early SGML rats.(3)Electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli can increase the number of MCs and degranulation in the acupoint tissue;and the degranulation rate of MCs in Zusanli acupoint tissue has a linear negative correlation with gastric mucosal DI and gastric mucosal histopathological score,and has a linear postive correlation with gastric mucosal mucus.These results suggested that the protective effect of electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli on gastric mucosa of early SGML rats was related to the activation of mast cells in acupoint area by electroacupuncture preconditioning(4)Injection of mast cell membrane stabilizer SCG at Zusanli acupoint can inhibit MCs aggregation and degranulation in acupoint area caused by electroacupuncture preconditioning,reduce gastric mucosal mucus increase caused by electroacupuncture preconditioning,weaken the inhibition effect of electroacupuncture preconditioning on gastric mucosal MCs aggregation in early SGML rats,and increase the release of gastric mucosal inflammatory factors.Thus,the protective effect of electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli on gastric mucosa of early SGML rats was weakened.These results suggested that the degranulation of mast cells in the Zusanli acupoint was involved in the protective effect of electroacupuncture preconditioning on gastric mucosa of early SGML rats.(5)The acupuncture serum of rats preconditioned with electroacupuncture at Zusanli acupoint can increase the mucus secretion of RGM1,inhibit the activation of NF-?B signaling pathway in RGM1 cells,and reduce the release of inflammatory factors in RGM1,thereby exerting the protective effect of gastric mucosa epithelial cells;and the protective effect of acupuncture serum on RGM1 was weakened after acupoint injection of mast cell membrane stabilizer SCG.(6)Based on the above in vivo and in vitro experimental results,this study found that electroacupuncture preconditioning at Zusanli can induce the aggregation and degranulation of mast cells in the acupoint area,and produce bioactive substances with complex components into the blood,which are transported to the gastric tissue along the body fluid pathway,then directly acts on gastric mucosal epithelial cells,promotes the release of gastric mucosal epithelial cell mucus,inhibits the activation of NF-?B signaling pathway in gastric mucosal epithelial cells,and reduces the release of inflammatory factors in gastric mucosa,thereby protecting the gastric mucosa in early SGML rats.
