Abstract EN
Objective.
To investigate the effects of one of the Chinese massage therapies, cervical rotatory manipulation (CRM), on uniaxial tensile properties of rabbit atherosclerotic internal carotid artery (ICA).
Methods.
40 male purebred New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into CRM-Model group, Non-CRM-Model group, CRM-Normal group, and Non-CRM-Normal group.
After modeling (atherosclerotic model) and intervention (CRM or Non-CRM), uniaxial tensile tests were performed on the ICAs to assess the differences in tensile mechanical properties between the four groups.
Results.
Both CRM and modeling were the main effects affecting physiological elastic modulus (PEM) of ICA.
PEM in CRM-Model group was 1.81 times as much as Non-CRM-Model group, while the value in CRM-Model group was 1.34 times as much as CRM-Normal group.
Maximum elastic modulus in CRM-Model group was 1.80 times as much as CRM-Normal group.
Max strains in CRM-Model group and Non-CRM-Model group were 30.98% and 28.71% lower than CRM-Normal group and Non-CRM-Normal group, respectively.
However, whether treated with CRM or not, the uniaxial tensile properties of healthy ICAs were not statistically different.
Conclusion.
CRM may decrease the uniaxial tensile properties of rabbit arteriosclerotic ICA, but with no effect on normal group.
The study will aid in the meaningful explanation of the controversy about the harmfulness of CRM and the suitable population of CRM.
