Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, efficient, and safe gene delivery method.
To combine traditional acupuncture with modern gene introduction techniques.

Main Methods:

Developed electro-acupuncture needle-mediated gene transfer.
Utilized acupuncture needles to deliver exogenous genes into muscle tissue.
Applied direct electronic stimuli to facilitate gene transfer.

Main Results:

Achieved efficient gene delivery into muscle tissue.
Demonstrated the feasibility of combining acupuncture with gene transfer technology.

Conclusions:

Electro-acupuncture needle-mediated gene transfer offers a promising new approach for gene delivery.
This method integrates traditional medicine with modern biotechnology for enhanced therapeutic applications.
