Abstract EN
This study aimed to investigate the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) treatment through optical coherence tomography (OCT) in vivo on rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis.
OCT images were obtained from the ankle of the right hind paws of the rats in control, model, and EA groups before modelling and 1 day, 8 days, 15 days, 22 days, and 29 days after modelling.
Results demonstrated that the OCT signal of the ankle of the right hind paws of the rats was indistinct compared to 1 day after modelling and before modelling in the EA group.
In the EA group, the light averaged attenuation coefficients of the ankle tissues decreased as treatment duration was prolonged after EA was administered (3.43, 2.96, 2.61, 2.42, and 2.29 mm−1, resp.).
There was a significant difference in attenuation coefficient decrease between the 29th d and the 1st d for EA group compared with control group (P<0.01).
This condition indicated that the light absorption of the ankle of the treated rats in the EA group decreased.
Therefore, OCT can be used to monitor the effect of treatment on rats with arthritis in vivo.
