There has been an obstacle for clinical practice, research, and legislation. Considering this challenge, the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies proposes to develop the definition and basic scope of acupuncture-moxibustion with a Delphi study. Methods： A reactive Delphi method will be used to ask a group of experts to rate the relevance and clarity of a predesigned initial item list. This list was generated by the steering committee through a literature review and group discussion. Forty experts will be selected from many disciplines and continents to ensure appropriate representation. Predefined rules will be applied to modify the items until a consensus is achieved. After achieving the consensus on all items through the survey round, the steering committee will form the definition and basic scope of acupuncture-moxibustion by organizing a literal statement with a detailed explanation.展开更多

Shallow needling technique plus electric stimulation was used in the restoration stage. Comprehensive therapy of acupuncture and massage was used in the sequels stage. 21 cases were cured in the acute stage. 101 cases were cured in the restoration stage. 10 cases were cured in the sequels stage. The results indicate that the restoration stage is a key moment for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.

Methods According to the acup-mox literature information of different types, different subjects of the aeup-mox literature are determined and the relevant database is established. In the continuously enriched subject database, the data warehouse catering to multi-subjects and multi-dimensions is set up so as to provide a platform for wider application of aeup-mox literature information. Results Based on characteristics of the acup-mox literature, many subject databases, such as needling with filiform needle, moxibustion, etc., are established and clinical treatment laws of acup-mox are revealed by use of data mining method in the database established. Conclusion Establishment of the acup-mox literature warehouse provides a standard data expression model, rich attributes and relation between different literature information for study of aeup-mox literature by more effective techniques, and a rich and standard data basis for acup-mox researches.展开更多
