Abstract：RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Motor function: The motor function scores were better in the acupuncture + rehabilitation group than in the model, acupuncture, and rehabilitation groups (P< 0.05). (2) Growth associated protein-43 and synaptophysin expression: immunohistochemical staining revealed that compared with the model group, growth associated protein-43 expression at 2-4 weeks and synaptophysin expression at 4 and 5 weeks were higher in the acupuncture and acupuncture + rehabilitation groups(P<0.05); the increase in above expression was most significant in the acupuncture + rehabilitation group (P<0.05). (3) Results confirmed that acupuncture combined with rehabilitation promoted growth associated protein-43 and synaptophysin expression in rats with cerebral palsy and exerted neuroprotective effect.
