To observe the effects of acupoint-nerve block on manual-acupuncture (MA) and electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia and mast cells degranulation in adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats in order to analyze the underlying peripheral mechanism of MA and EA analgesia. ⋯ After nerve block of the local and proximal acupoints rather than the distal acupoint innervated by the same nerve, the analgesic effect of both MA and EA of ST36 is obviously attenuated; but no marked influences on MA- and EA-induced mast cell degranulation are found.

To compare the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of "Gastric Problem Formula" ["Neiguan" (PC 6), "Zhongwan" (CV 12) and "Zusanli" (ST 36)] on electrical activities of neurons of medullary subnucleus reticularis dorsalis (SRD) of the rat. ⋯ Moderate acupuncture stimulation of "Neiguan" (PC 6), "Zhongwan" (CV 12) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) can effectively activate spontaneous discharges of SRD neurons in the rat.
