Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The regulation of the genes including AQP4 gene, Bcl-2 gene, NF gene, Caspase gene, IL gene, NF-κB gene, TNF gene and HSP to treatment Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) by method of tonifying Qi and activating blood circulation was summary. Spinal cord injury is a disease of high incidence and low cure rate without any ideal treatment. Among the complex pathological reactions, the post-injury abnormal expressions of many genes may be an important one. Method of tonifying Qi and activating blood circulation, which is one of the most important treatments of spinal cord injury in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used extensively in clinic, is proved to be effective in the treatment of spinal cord injury. Recently, many scholars have carried out a lot of studies in this filed and acquired notable achievements. The essay concludes mechanisms of the regulation of method of tonifying Qi and activating blood circulation in the related gene expressions after spinal cord injury to provide new thoughts and new methods for the treatment and study of spinal cord injury.
