Influence of moxibustion on NR2B and PKMζ after neural stem cell transplantation in the rats with vascular dementia

To observe the influence of moxibustion on learning and memory ability in the rats with vascular dementia (VD) and explore the potential effect mechanism. A total of 80 rats, screened by Morris water maze, were randomly divided into a sham-operation group, a model group, a neural stem cells (NSCs) group, a NSCs + piracetam group and a NSCs + moxibustion group, 16 rats in each group. After corresponding treatments, Morris water maze and...
