Abstract:Background: Electroacupuncture (EA) exerts significant effects in clinic, such as anti-inflammation, immune regulation, joint-related diseases, anti-cancer, etc. However, the mechanism by which EA protects juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is obscure. Thus, we explored the protective mechanisms in the juvenile collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model deeply and investigated the effect of EA against synovial inflammation and whether this effect depends on the regulation of macrophage polarization.Methods: S… Show more
