Methods Acupuncture was applied at the eight points surrounding the umbilicus: bilateral Tianshu (天枢ST 25), Huaroumen (滑肉门ST 24) and Wailing (外陵ST 26), Yinjiao (阴交CV 7) and Shuifen (水分CV 9), and also Guanyuan (关元CV 4) and Zusanli (足三里ST 36), and the ear embedding method was used in combination in 50 cases of simple obesity. The changes in FBG, INS, ISI, TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C after the treatment were observed. The changes in waistline (WL) and hip circumference (HC), their ratio (WL/HC), body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) after the treatment were also observed, and the therapeutic effects were compared between the patients with obesity in Grade Ⅰ and Grade Ⅱ. The aforementioned values were compared with those in the control group comprised of 30 normal subjects. Results Hyperinsulinemia (HI) appeared in the patients with simple obesity, and the value of ISI was obviously decreased, compared with that in normal subjects ( P<0.01 ). After the treatment, the values of WL, HC, WL/HC, BW and BMI were all obviously decreases ( P<0.05 ), and those of FBG, INS, TC, TG and LDL-C also reduced ( P<0.01 ), but those of ISI and HDL-C obviously increased ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion Acupuncture can not only efficiently improve the parameters in body fat in the patients with simple obesity, but also regulate their abnormal lipid metabolism and improve the situation of insulin resistance.展开更多

Methods Ninety cases of simple obesity of gastrointestinal heat type were randomized into an EA group and a CA group, 45 cases in each one. In the EA group, CA was applied at Neiting (内庭 ST 44), Shangjuxu (上巨虚 ST 37), Xiajuxu (下巨虚 ST 39), Fenglong (丰隆 ST 40), Tianshu (天枢 ST 25), Zusanli (足三里 ST 36), YTnlingquan (阴陵泉 SP 9) and Ouchi (曲池 LI 12). The electric stimulation was attached at ST 37, ST 44, ST 25 and ST 40. In CA group, the simple acupuncture was applied at the same points as the EA group. The treatment was given once every two days, 22 treatments made one session and 3 sessions were required totally in the two groups. The changes in body mass, obesity degree, body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (F%) were observed in the patients before and after treatment. The therapeutic effects on weight loss and fat loss were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the weight, obesity degree, BMI and F% were all reduced apparently in the patients of the two groups (all P〈0.01). After the 2st session of treatment, concerning to the effect on weight loss, the total effective rate in the EA group was superior to that in the CA group [95.6% (43/45) vs 77.8% (35/45), P〈0.05]. The effects were not different apparently between the two groups in the later 2 sessions of treatment (all P〉0.05). The effect on fat loss was not different significantly in statistics between EA and CA (all P〉0.05). Conclusion Either EA or CA achieves the significant effect on simple obesity. The therapeutic effect of EA on weight loss in the early stage is obviously superior to that of CA.展开更多

Taking Shénquè(神阙 CV 8), the points 2 cun directly below CV 8 and 2 cun directly above CV 8 as the landmarks, 3 cun bilateral to each of the above three points, and penetrated through to the conception vessel. Then the electroacupuncture apparatus was connected, with the disperse-dense wave for 30 min.After acupuncture, the glass cup of the middle size was used to stimulate the selected points with the flash-fire cupping method. The cupping stimulation stopped when the skin turned to be slightly red. One treatment was given each day and every other day after 5 days. The 10 treatments made one course. In the auricular acupuncture therapy, Jīdiǎn(饥点), Shénm6 n(神门TF4), NèiFēnmì(内分泌CO18) and S5 njiāo(三焦 CO17) were selected. The auricular acupuncture therapy was given once every two days and 10 treatments made one course. After 3 courses of treatment, the waist circumference, hip circumference,body weight and body mass index(BMI) were observed.Results: Compared to before treatment, after 3 courses of treatment, the waist circumference of patients was(92.3 ±2.4 vs 80.4 ±2.3) cm, hip circumference(110.6 士 2.3 vs 99.2 ±2.5) cm, body weight(74.2 ±3.1 vs 68.2 ±2.4) kg and BMI(29.8 士 3.1 vs 25.2 士 2.1), they were all reduced obviously, indicating the significant differences(all P<0.05). Seventy-nine patients lost three to five kilograms, accounting for 87.8%.Conclusion: The combined therapy of penetration needling at abdomen, flash-fire cupping method and auricular acupuncture achieves the significant therapeutic effects on simple obesity.展开更多
