Description
Summary:OBJECTIVE：To explore the anti-aging effects of mild-warming moxibustion on Bcl-2 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-2 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（P0.01）.Bcl-2 and PKC expression rates in peripheral blood in the blank control group were lower than in the normal control group（P0.01）,but higher after mild-warming moxibustion（P0.01）.CONCLUSION：The anti-aging effects of mild-warm-ing moxibustion may be due to increased Bcl-2 and PKC expression in peripheral blood in aged people.
