简介:目的:研究针刺足三里对D-半乳糖所致衰老小鼠抗衰老作用的机制。方法:三十只28周龄ICR系雌性小白鼠,随机分成对照组、模型组和针刺组。在光学显微镜下观察小肠粘膜形态学变4L;分别测定血清中超氧化物歧化酶(SuperoxideDismutase,SOD)活性和丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)含量。结果:针刺组SOD活性高于模型组和对照组,MDA含量低于模型组和对照组。模型组正常型绒毛比率减少,上皮细胞脱落再生加剧,肠绒毛萎缩;针刺组肠绒毛形态改善,肠上皮细胞异常减少。结论:针刺足三里能提高血清中SOD活性,减少MDA含量,改善肠绒毛形态,有助于延缓衰老过程。

简介:AbstractAs human life expectancy continues to increase and the birth rate continues to decline, the phenomenon of aging is becoming more prominent worldwide. Therefore, addressing the problems associated with global aging has become a current research focus. The main manifestations of human aging are structural degeneration and functional decline of aging tissues and organs, quality of life decline, decreased ability to resist diseases, and high incidence rates of a variety of senile degenerative diseases. Thus far, no ideal treatments have been found. Stem cell (SC) therapies have broad application prospects in the field of regenerative medicine due to the inherent biological characteristics of SCs, such as their plasticity, self-renewal, and multidirectional differentiation potential. Thus, SCs could delay or even reverse aging. This manuscript reviews the causes of human aging, the biological characteristics of SCs, and research progress on age reversal.

There is no difference by age in the probability that an article submitted to a leading journal will be accepted. Rates of declining productivity are no greater among the very top publishers than among others
