OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of penetrative needling from "Baihui" (GV20) to "Qubin" (GB7) on neurological function and expression of autophagy related protein microtubule-associated protein, light chain 3 (LC3) in rats with hemorrhagic stroke, so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of hemorrhagic stroke.METHODS: A total of 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, non-acupoint, acupuncture and medication (Rapamycin) groups which were further divided into two time-point subgroups (3, 7 days after modeling, n=12/subgroup). The intracerebral hemorrhage model was established by injection of the rat's auto-blood (50 muL) into the putaman region. Penetrative needling from GV20 to GB7 or sham acupoints (about 1 cm beside GV20 and GB7) was conducted for 30 min, twice daily for 7 days. For rats of the medication group, Rapamycin solution (7 mumol/L) was injected into the right lateral ventricle. The neurological functions (locomotor and balance deficits) were evaluated according to suspended wire test (0-6 points) and horizontal board walking test (0-6 points). Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of total LC3 and expression of LC3-Ⅰ and LC3-Ⅱ proteins in the ischemic penumbra region of brain tissue, respectively.RESULTS: After modeling, the neurological function scores were significantly decreased on day 3 and 7, the levels of LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ and LC3 protein on day 3 and 7 were significantly increased in the model group relevant to the sham operation group (P
