Abstract: ObjectiveTo observe the change of coagulation function in chronic stress depression model rats and the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on it. MethodsA total of 32 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in control group (n=8), model group (n=8), EA group (n=8) and fluoxetine group (n=8) after a week of acclimation. The 21-day unpredictable mild stress combined with solitarily feeding was used to make the depression model in the latter three groups, meanwhile EA group and the fluoxetine group accepted EA and fluoxetine. They were measured the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (FIB). Serum levels of 6-keto-prostaglandin F (6-keto-PGF), P-selectin, thromboxane B2 (TXB2) were determined with enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. ResultsThe cross and rear scores were significantly lower in the model group than in the control group (P<0.01). The scores increased in EA group and the fluoxetine group (P<0.01) compared with the model group. Compared with the control group, PT, APTT and TT decreased (P<0.01), FIB increased (P<0.05), the level of 6-keto-PGF decreased, the level of P-selectin and TXB2 increased (P<0.01) in the model group. Compared with the model group, PT, APTT and TT increased (P<0.05), the level of 6-keto-PGF increased (P<0.01), and the level of P-selectin and TXB2 decreased (P<0.05) in EA group and the fluoxetine group, and FIB decreased in EA group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe chronic stress depression rats are impaired in the coagulation function and platelet activation, and can be allayed with electroacupuncture and fluoxetine.
