Research on Roles of Mongolian Medical Warm Acupuncture in Inhibiting p38 MAPK Activation and Apoptosis of Nucleus Pulposus Cells
Figure 2
Survival rate of nucleus pulposus cells in different groups and effect on active oxygen in nucleus pulposus cells. (a) The viability of the cells in the Mongolian medical warm acupuncture group and the analgesic decoction intervention group increased. (b) It demonstrated that Mongolian medical warm acupuncture can reduce excessive ROS produced in the nucleus pulposus cells. This may be one of the causes of decreased apoptosis. # (##) indicates P<0.05 (P<0.01) when compared with the control group; indicates P<0.05 (P<0.01) when compared with the 25 mM glucose group.
