RESUMO
Objective To analyze the literature on the application of infrared technology in acupuncture and moxibustion at home and abroad by using bibliometrics and visualization software,discuss the research status,main forces,frontier hotspots and dynamic trends,and provide reference for promoting the cross fusion application of infrared technology in acupuncture and moxibustion research.Methods In this study,CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to analyze the number of articles,authors,institutions and keywords of 478 articles screened from CNKI and 188 articles screened from Web of Science Core Collection database in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion,drawing the visual map of authors,institutions and keywords.Cluster,co-occurrence and time superposition analysis of keywords were made at the same time.Results The research on the application of infrared technology in acupuncture and moxibustion started earlier in China,while the international research started later.Xu Jinxin,Shen Xueyong,Pan Xiaohua and Ding Guanghong have done a lot of work in the cross research of infrared technology and acupuncture and moxibustion.Internationally,Litscher gerhard,Shen xueyong and Yoo ho-ryong are the main authors.The Fujian Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine have the highest number of papers;Internationally,Med Univ Graz,Daejeon Univ and Korea Inst Oriental Med are the main research institutions.The hot spots of visualization discovery are the application of infrared thermal imaging technology to diagnose and evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture related therapies,the assistance of infrared therapeutic effects in acupuncture and moxibustion to enhance the clinical efficacy and product transformation development,the exploration of the meridian along the line development phenomenon,the infrared spectral characteristics of meridians and acupoints to assist in disease diagnosis,the study of infrared radiation spectral characteristics of moxibustion,and the functional near-infrared spectral imaging study of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.Conclusion The cross fusion of infrared technology and acupuncture covers both diagnosis and clinical aspects,involving theoretical research and applied research.At present,it is mainly carried out around six hot spots.The application research of infrared technology in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion has great development potential,which is worthy of more in-depth cross fusion research and cooperation between multiple institutions and personnel;In the future,infrared meridian and acupoint diagnostic equipment,the introduction of new infrared technology and the molecular mechanism of acupuncture meridian specific infrared phenomenon will have broad prospects.
RESUMO
Objective This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)assessing the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for chronic stable angina(CSA).Methods PubMed,The Cochrane Library,Embase,CNKI,VIP,WanFang Data,CBM databases,ClinicalTrial.gov and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of acupuncture for CSA and only RCTs that included acupuncture as the sole or combination of acupuncture in the treatment of CSA.The retrieval period was from the establishment of the database to May 19,2022.The primary outcome measure was the frequency of angina attacks,and the secondary outcome measures were angina efficacy,total effective rate of ECG improvement,nitroglycerin use after treatment,patient-perceived overall effectiveness,performance on the Six-Minute Walk Test(6-MWT),depression as measured by the anxiety as measured by the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS),adverse effects.Results Twelve studies with a total of 1605 case subjects were included and grade quality of evidence reviews had 1 outcomes as medium quality evidence,5 outcomes as low quality evidence and 4 outcomes as very low quality evidence.Acupuncture treatment resulted in significantly greater reductions in angina attacks,visual analog scale(VAS),6-minute walk test,angina efficacy,electrocardiogram improvement rate,angina efficacy,total clinical response rate.Conclusion The efficacy of acupuncture combined with western medicine in treating CSA is better than that of Western medicine alone,thanks to restricted by the number and quality of included researchs,higher quality studies are required to prove above conclusions.
RESUMO
To sum up professor Liang Fanrong's clinical experience in treating tinnitus with the theroy of wind.Professor LIANG suggests that pathogenesis of tinnitus is the wind disturbing the ear.Expelling wind and dredging collaterals,harmonizing the middle energizer,and dredging the Governor vessel and brain-strengthening are the basic treatment laws.GB20,SJ17,GB19,SJ21,SI19,GB2,SJ5,SJ3,ST25,RN6,RN12,DU20,DU24,and EX-HN1 compose the foundation of prescription.Selection of acupoints according to syndrome differentiation.Combined with moxibustion treatment.To strengthen the desired sensation with technique of acupuncture manipulation.
RESUMO
Objective To investigates the effect of acupuncture on sensitization of Zusanli(ST36)in rats with different functional states by using healthy and knee osteoarthritis model rats.Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into control,model,model-acupuncture and blank-acupuncture group,with 7 rats in each group.KOA rat model was prepared by intra-articular injection of 1 mg·50 μL-1 monoiodoacetic aci(MIA)in model group and model-acupuncture group.On the second day of modeling,acupuncture treatment was performed on the left Zusanli of the model acupuncture group and the blank-acupuncture group,once everyday for 20 min,5 times as a course of treatment,2 days between courses.The general condition,knee joint diameter,plantar thermal pain threshold and Lequesne MG score of rats was observed before modeling and after acupuncture.Observing the morphology of knee joint cartilage to judge whether the model is successful,measuring the mechanical pain threshold of Zusanli to investigate the acupoint sensitization,observing and counting the morphology of skin mast cells in the acupoint area,and detecting the expression of skin calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in the acupoint area.Results The mechanical pain threshold of Zusanli after acupuncture in model group and blank-acupuncture group decreased significantly after modeling(P<0.01,P<0.05),compared with the control group,the change rate of mechanical pain threshold in model group and blank-acupuncture group increased significantly(P<0.05),compared with the model group,the mechanical pain threshold of Zusanli in the model-acupuncture group decreased significantly(P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the fluorescence intensity of CGRP protein in the skin tissue of Zusanli in the model group increased significantly(P<0.01),MC degranulation rate increased significantly(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the fluorescence intensity of CGRP protein of Zusanli in the blank-acupuncture group(P>0.05),MC degranulation rate increased obviously(P<0.01),CGRP protein of Zusanli in the model-acupuncture group was significantly reduced compared with the model group(P<0.01),and there was no significant difference in the degranulation rate of MC(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint sensitization can occur in different functional states of rats.Zusanli(ST36)of KOA model rats can be sensitized,and acupuncture stimulation can make Zusanli sensitization caused by disease disappear.Under physiological conditions,acupuncture stimulation can induce similar sensitization phenomenon.
