Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation: From Concept to Application

Yu Wang et al.

Summary: The connection between the ear and the rest of the body has been explored for a long time, leading to the development of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) which aims to treat diseases non-invasively. TaVNS has been extensively researched and applied as an alternative to drug treatment for various diseases.

Electroacupuncture ameliorates intestinal inflammation by activating α7nAChR-mediated JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in postoperative ileus

Na-Na Yang et al.

Summary: The study investigated how electroacupuncture stimulation at the hindlimb region ameliorates inflammation in postoperative ileus (POI). Results showed that electroacupuncture suppressed intestinal inflammation and promoted gastrointestinal motility by activating the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha 7nAChR)-mediated JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in macrophages. Furthermore, hindlimb region stimulation inhibited the expression of GABA(A) receptor in dorsal motor nucleus of vagal (DMV) neurons, leading to suppression of inflammation via vagal efferent output.
