摘要
Objective
To explore the anti-aging effects of mild-warming moxibustion on Bcl鈭? and PKC expression in peripheral blood and general symptoms in elderly people.Methods
A total of 61 elderly people and 30 non-elderly people were enrolled. The total effective rate of mild-warming moxibustion was assessed by symptom scores, and Bcl鈭? and PKC expression in peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry.
Results
The total effective rate in the mild-warming moxibustion group was significantly higher than in the blank control group (P<0.01). Bcl鈭? and PKC expression rates in peripheral blood in the blank control group were lower than in the normal control group (P<0.01), but higher after mild-warming moxibustion (P<0.01).
Conclusion
The anti-aging effects of mild-warming moxibustion may be due to increased Bcl鈭? and PKC expression in peripheral blood in aged people.
