Methods: Clinical literatures related to PMS treated with acupuncture-moxibustion published from 2007 to 2016 were collected from Chinese Biomedical Literature Database(CBM), Chongqing VIP Database(CQVIP), China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database(Wanfang). The retrieved data underwent descriptive analysis, cluster analysis and association pattern analysis to determine the acupoints selection principle in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS. Results: The top five acupoints used in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS were Sanyinjiao(SP 6), Shenshu(BL 23), Guanyuan(CV 4), Baihui(GV 20), and Shenmen(HT 7). The leading 4 meridians were Bladder Meridian, Conception Vessel, Spleen Meridian, and Governor Vessel. The clustering analysis showed that the 5 core acupoint groups were:(1) Sanyinjiao(SP 6);(2) Shenshu(BL 23) and Guanyuan(CV 4);(3) Baihui(GV 20), Shenmen(HT 7), Zusanli(ST 36), Ganshu(BL 18) and Taichong(LR 3);(4) Taixi(KI 3), Pishu(BL 20), Xinshu(BL 15), Qihai(CV 6) and Neiguan(PC 6);(5) Sishencong(EX-HN 1), Zhongwan(CV 12), Hegu(LI 4), Yintang(GV 29), Fengchi(GB 20), Zhongji(CV 3) and Feishu(BL 13). The three most significant acupoints were Sanyinjiao(SP 6), Shenshu(BL 23) and Guanyuan(CV 4). Acupoint groups based on syndrome differentiation included:(1) Hegu(LI 4), Zhongwan(CV 12) and Sishencong(EX-HN 1);(2) Feishu(BL 13), Zhongji(CV 3), Fengchi(GB 20) and Yintang(GV 29);(3) Xinshu(BL 15), Pishu(BL 20), Qihai(CV 6), Neiguan(PC 6) and Taixi(KI 3);(4) Ganshu(BL 18), Zusanli(ST 36), Shenmen(HT 7), Taichong(LR 3) and Baihui(GV 20). The analysis of association pattern elaborated that Shenshu(BL 23) and Sanyinjiao(SP 6) won the highest support rate in the paired groups; Ganshu(BL 18), Shenshu(BL 23) and Sanyinjiao(SP 6) had the highest support rate among the acupoint groups. Conclusion: The data mining results of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS substantially conform to the general principle in traditional acupuncture-moxibustion theories, able to reflect the acupoints selection and grouping pattern and provide references for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of PMS.展开更多
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture(EA) at the Guanyuan(CV 4) or Sanyinjiao(SP 6) acupoints on the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary(HPO) axis and spatial learning and memory in female mice.METHODS:...OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture(EA) at the Guanyuan(CV 4) or Sanyinjiao(SP 6) acupoints on the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary(HPO) axis and spatial learning and memory in female mice.METHODS: Nine-month-old female mice with senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8(SAMP8)were divided into three groups: the disease model,EA-Guanyuan and EA-Sanyinjiao groups. Concurrently, 9-month old female mice with senescence-accelerated mouse resistance 1(SAMR1)were set as the control model group. The two treatment groups were given the same pattern of EA stimulation. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH) and Serum estradiol levels in the Hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to determinethe HPO axis function level. Spatial learning and memory were assessed by the Morris Water Maze(MWM) test.RESULTS:(a) HPO axis: compared with the control model group, the disease model group displayed a decrease in E2 levels(P < 0.01), and an increase in Gn RH, LH and FSH levels(P < 0.01). E2 levels were increased in EA treatment groups compared with the disease model group(P < 0.05). In contrast,Gn RH and LH and FSH levels were reduced(P <0.05). EA-Sanyinjiao group was superior than EA-Guanyuan group on increasing E2 and declining Gn RH levels(P < 0.01).(b) The MWM test demonstrated that the response latency in the EA-Sanyinjiao treatment group declined from day 2 to day5 compared with the disease model group(P <0.05), whereas the EA-Guanyuan treatment group showed no significant difference.CONCLUSION: EA can regulate hormone(E2, FSH,LH, Gn RH) levels in the HPO axis and the spatial learning and memory ability in female SAMP8 mice. Moreover, this effect may have been more pronounced in the EA-Sanyinjiao group than the EA-Guanyuan group. The underlying mechanism of the EA-induced changes may be related to gonadal hormone shifts in the HPO axis, followed by an improvement in spatial learning and memory.展开更多

Methods: A total of 66 patients with acne vulgaris were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table, with 33 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with auricular point pricking-bloodletting plus auricular point sticking therapy, and the control group was treated only with auricular point sticking therapy. The treatments of both groups were performed twice a week, 4 weeks as a course of treatment, for 3 courses in total. The scores of skin lesions and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) scores were recorded before and after treatment to assess the clinical efficacy. Results: During the trial, there were 3 cases of drop-out both in the observation group and the control group. After 3 courses of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 96.7%, while that of the control group was 76.7%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The intra-group comparison showed that the scores of skin lesion and DLQI were both decreased with the increase of treatment times, that was, the scores were lower than those at the previous time point (allP<0.05). After 1, 2, and 3 courses of treatment, the scores of skin lesion and DLQI of both groups were statistically different from those of the same group before treatment (allP<0.05). At every time point during the treatment, the scores of skin lesion and DLQI of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Auricular point pricking-bloodletting plus auricular point sticking has a better curative effect than auricular point sticking therapy alone in the treatment of acne vulgaris, and has a time-effect correlation.展开更多
