Acupuncture Alleviates Allergic Rhinitis by Activating the AMPK/PGC‐1α Pathway to Attenuate Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress and Restore Epithelial Barrier Function

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
Acupuncture at Feishu (BL13), Shenshu (BL23), Yingxiang (LI20), and Dazhui (GV14) alleviates allergic rhinitis by activating the AMPK/PGC‐1α/NRF1/TFAM signalling axis. This activation improves mitochondrial biogenesis and function, reduces mtROS‐mediated oxidative stress, restores ATP production and respiratory complex I/IV activity, suppresses IgE and

Postelectroacupuncture Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (post‐EA FMT) Regulates Gastrointestinal Hormones in Functional Dyspepsia Rats Is Associated With Modulation of the Intestinal Microbiota‐Bile Acid Metabolic Pathway

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electroacupuncture (EA) reshapes intestinal flora; whether post‐EA fecal microbiota transplantation (post‐EA FMT) regulates gastrointestinal hormones via the gut microbiota–bile acid (BA) pathway remains unclear. Methods Sham EA (SEA) served as control. Gastrointestinal hormones/motility were assessed post‐EA.

Acupuncture Attenuates Neuroinflammation Following Acute Cerebral Infarction by Downregulating SPP1 to Ameliorate Immunological Niches

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
The study workflow and key mechanistic findings are illustrated. In cohort 1, serum samples from acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients and healthy controls were screened using proteomics to identify differentially expressed proteins. In cohort 2, the therapeutic effects of acupuncture on ACI were further validated.

Acupuncture for Poststroke Dysphagia: An NTS‐Centered Hypothesis‐Generating Framework Linking the Brainstem Swallowing Network, Neuroimmune Regulation, and Vagal Anti‐Inflammatory Signaling

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Poststroke dysphagia (PSD) may reflect not only focal motor pathway injury but also instability of the brainstem swallowing network under neuroimmune, glial, and vascular microenvironmental stress. Methods This mechanism‐oriented narrative review synthesized evidence on swallowing central pattern generator (CPG) organization ...
