Articles which explore the meaning, prevention, treatment, outcome and impact of a high standard clinical and nursing practice and discipline are encouraged to be submitted as original article, review, case report, short communication and letters. The covered topics include, but are not limited to: development of clinical and nursing research, evaluation, evidence-based practice and scientific enquiry; patients and family experiences of health care; clinical and nursing research to enhance patient safety and reduce harm to patients; ethics; clinical and nursing history; medicine.</p> <p align="justify"> </p>https://ojs.bbwpublisher.com/index.php/JCNR/article/view/13236Effect of Acupuncture at Points of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang on Serum Inflammatory Factors in Rabbit Models of Cervical Spondylosis2026-01-15T09:26:02+08:00Wenrong Yangyangwenrong9527@126.comShu Zhao2453235893@qq.comJincai Liu2791172352@qq.comDan Wang279172352@qq.comZhijun Chen36806635@qq.comZhigang Zhaozhigang@126.com<p><em>Objective</em>: Based on the theory of “Taiyang governs tendons”, to explore the effect of acupuncture at points of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang on the expression of serum inflammatory factors in rabbit models of cervical spondylosis. <em>Methods</em>: Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, and a treatment group, with 10 rabbits in each group. The models of cervical spondylosis in the model group and treatment group were established by long-term head-down flexion combined with cold-damp stimulation. After modeling, the treatment group received acupuncture at three points (Kunlun, Weizhong, and Feishu) on the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang, once a day for 20 minutes each time, for 14 consecutive days; the model group and blank group received no therapeutic intervention. After the intervention, cardiac blood was collected from all rabbits to detect the expression levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β. Meanwhile, cervical muscle tissue was collected, stained with HE, and the morphological changes of the posterior cervical muscle tissue in each group were observed under an optical microscope. <em>Results</em>: After modeling, the levels of inflammatory factors in the serum of rabbits in the model group and treatment group were significantly increased compared with those before modeling, with a statistically significant difference (<em>p </em>< 0.01). After intervention, the serum inflammatory factors in the treatment group decreased significantly compared with those in the model group, and the difference was statistically significant (<em>p </em>< 0.01). <em>Conclusion</em>: Acupuncture at points of the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang in rabbit models of cervical spondylosis can reduce the serum levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.</p>2026-01-09T00:00:00+08:00Copyright (c) 2026 Author(s)
