Abstract:

Objective To explore the influence of different cervical massage manipulation on the stability of early carotid artery atherosclerosis(CAS) model of cynomolgus monkeys.  Methods  18 cynomolgus monkeys were developed early CAS model, and were fed with a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. The success of model was confirmed by Color Doppler Ultrasound. Then all monkeys were divided into three groups randomly: the Cervical Rotatory Manipulation(CRM) group, the Manipulation of Pushing on Qiaogong(MPQ) group and the control model group. The animals of the CRM group and the MPQ group underwent relevant interventions respectively for 30 days, but the control model group was not given any intervention. Finally all animals were euthanized, and the common carotid artery underwent HE staining, Raman test, pressure test.    Results     HE staining showed that the intima of common carotid artery were severely injured, and there was formation of CAS plaques. In Raman test, lipid characteristic peaks on 1450 and 1660 were obvious in 3 groups. However, there was no significant difference on the relative intensity of the 3 groups (P> 0.05). In pressure test, there was no significant difference on the results of fracture pressure of CAS plaques in 3 groups(P>0.05).    Conclusion     In the early stage of CAS in cynomolgus monkeys, the application of CRM and MPQ in short term have no impact on the stability of plaques.
