To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Zusanli" (ST36) and "Xuanzhong" (GB39) on joint inflammatory reactions and serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and MMP-9 contents in rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA), so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of AA.

[Electroacupuncture at "Zusanli"(ST36) and "Xuanzhong"(GB39) improves inflammatory reactions and reduces levels of serum MMP-3 and MMP-9 in adjuvant arthritis rats].

Most previous studies on acupuncture in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) have focused on improving functional efficacy and safety, while related mechanisms have not been systematically reviewed. Acupuncture modulates cytokines to attenuate cartilage extracellular matrix degradation and apoptosis, key to the pathogenesis of KOA, but the mechanisms are complex.
