The aims of this study were to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture on myoelectrical activity of inflamed or normal colon in the rat, and whether the effect of acupuncture on colonic motility was related to endogenous opioids. Twenty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. Experimental groups were normal group (n=8), colitis group (n=6) and naloxone group (n=8). Stainless steel bipolar electrodes were implanted on the serosal layer of the proximal colon of rats. Colitis was induced 7 days after electrode implantation using trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS) and ethanol. Electromyograms (EMG) were recorded by using polygraph 11 days after implantation of electrodes. In normal group, normal colonic motility was recorded for 60min, and then traditional acupuncture at GV-1 was applied for 20min and EMG was recorded for further 60min in untreated rats. In colitis group, after recording of basal colonic motility for 60min, 20min of acupuncture treatment and further EMG recording was performed for 60min in TNBS/ethanol treated rats. In naloxone group, following subcutaneous administration of naloxone (3mg/kg), recording of EMG and acupuncture treatment were performed in TNBS/ethanol treated rats. In the normal group, acupuncture at GV-1 did not induce significant changes in colonic motility. TNBS/ethanol treatment had no significant effect on the frequency of colonic motility. And in colitis group, GV-1 acupuncture significantly decreased colonic motility (p<0.01). In naloxone group, after injection of naloxone, acupuncture at GV-1 did not change colonic motility in TNBS/ethanol treated rats. On the inflamed colon, naloxone blocked the effect of acupuncture. The present results suggested that endogenous opioids released by acupuncture at GV-1 decrease the motility of inflamed colon in rats, but not normal colon.

Effect of fucoidan (FCN) treatment on improving memory defects caused by administration of scopolamine (SCO)to the rats was examined. The effects of FCN on the acetylcholinergic system as well as the expression of cAMP-response elementbinding protein (CREB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNAs in the hippocampus were also investigated. Male rats were administered daily doses for 14 days of FCN (10,20, and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 min before scopolamine injection (2 mg/kg, i.p.). Daily administration of FCN improved memory impairment as measured by the passive avoidance test (PAT) and reduced the escape latency for finding the platform in the Morris water maze (MWM) test. Administration of FCN significantly alleviated memory-associated decreases in cholinergic immunoreactivity and restored the expression level of BDNF and CREB mRNAs in the hippocampus. Additionally, FCN significantly decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)mRNAs in the hippocampus. These results demonstrated that FCN has significant neuroprotective effects against neuronal impairment and memory dysfunction caused by scopolamine in rats. Thus, these findings suggest that FCN is useful as a therapeutic agent for improving cognitive functioning via stimulation of cholinergic enzyme activities and regulation of CREB and BDNF expressions in the brain.

Black ginseng (BG) has been widely used as herbal treatment for improving physiological function. In order to investigate the neuroprotective action of this herbal medicine, we examined the influence of BG on the learning and memory of rats using the Morris water maze, and we studied the effects of BG on the central cholinergic system and neural nitric oxide synthesis in the hippocampus of rats with neuronal and cognitive impairment. After middle cerebral artery occlusion was applied for 2h, the rats were administered BG (100 or 400 mgkg−1, p.o.) daily for 2 weeks, followed by training and performance of the Morris water maze test. The rats with ischemic insults showed impaired learning and memory on the tasks. Treatment with BG produced improvement in the escape latency to find the platform. Further, the BG groups showed a reduced loss of cholinergic immunoreactivity and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d)-positive neurons in the hippocampus compared to that of the ISC group. These results demonstrated that BG has a protective effect against ischemia-induced neuronal and cognitive impairment. Our results suggest that BG might be useful for the treatment of vascular dementia.
