The effects of acupuncture on the expressions of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and c-Fos in the hippocampus of gerbils after transient ischemia were investigated via nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemistry and Fos immunohistochemistry. In animals of the ischemia-induction groups, both common carotid arteries were occluded for 5 minutes. Animals of the acupunctued groups were given acupunctural treatment at Zusanli twice daily for 9 consecutive days. Acupuncture was shown to decrease NADPH-d and c-Fos levels in both the sham-operation group and the ischemia-induction group. These results suggest that acupuncture modulates the expressions of NOS and c-Fos in the hippocampus.

Gastric ulcer is a common digestive system disease, which leads to the serious decline in the life quality and effective therapies are in urgent need. Midnightmidday ebb flow acupunctures including Najia and Nazi acupunctures have been applied in clinics in China for more than one thousand years and the acupoints are selected according to the time rhythm. Najia acupuncture, namely day-prescription of acupoints, divides ten days (one cycle) into 120 two-hour periods and each period is coordinated with a meridian. Meanwhile, Nazi acupuncture, namely hour-prescription of acupoints, divides a day(one cycle) into 12 two-hour periods and each period is coordinated with a meridian. When there is a disease in a certain meridian, the relevant acupoints are operated in the corresponding time. However, the comparative efficacies of Najia and Nazi acupunctures on promoting the healing of gastric ulcer are still unknown. In this study, gastric ulcer rats were induced by acetic acid and were randomly divided into four groups: non-acupuncture group, normal acupuncture group, Najia acupuncture group and Nazi acupuncture group. After different treatments for continuous 10 days, the gained weight, gastric ulcer area and the thickness of gastric mucosa were measured and analyzed. Decreased ulcer area, increased mucosa thickness and dense scar tissue occurred in the Najia group and Nazi group compared to that in the non-acupuncture group (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences between Najia and Nazi acupuncture groups (P>0.05). Thickness of gastric mucosa in Nazi acupuncture group increased significantly compared to normal acupuncture group (P<0.05). Therefore, the findings in this study indicated that Najia and Nazi acupunctures had gastroprotective effects and accelerated the healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer in rats, but no significant differences between them. It may provide valuable information for development of acupuncture for the treatment of gastric ulcer in clinics.

Clinical trials are currently underway to determine the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of drug addiction. While there are still many unanswered questions about the basic mechanisms of acupuncture, some evidence exists to suggest that acupuncture can play an important role in reducing reinforcing effects of abused drugs. The purpose of this article is to critically review these data. The neurochemical and behavioral evidence showed that acupuncture's role in suppressing the reinforcing effects of abused drugs takes place by modulating mesolimbic dopamine neurons. Also, several brain neurotransmitter systems such as serotonin, opioid and amino acids including GABA have been implicated in the modulation of dopamine release by acupuncture. These results provided clear evidence for the biological effects of acupuncture that ultimately may help us to understand how acupuncture can be used to treat abused drugs. Additional research using animal models is of primary importance to understanding the basic mechanism underlying acupuncture's effectiveness in the treatment of drug addiction.

In the present study, the effect of acupuncture at Zusanli acupoint on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression in the hippocampus of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats was investigated via nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemistry. Animals were divided into four groups: the control group, the nondiabetic and acupunctured group, the STZ-induced diabetes group, and the STZ-induced diabetes and acupunctured group. From the results, NADPH-d-positive neurons in the hippocampus were decreased in STZ-induced diabetic rats, while acupuncture increased NOS expression significantly under diabetic conditions. In the present study, it can be suggested that acupuncture treatment may modulate NOS activity in the hippocampus under diabetic conditions.

Background Acupuncture is a common adjuvant treatment to support patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). However, the impact of acupuncture and the different roles it can play in IVF remain unclear. Objective In this paper, we present an overview and critique of the current evidence on acupuncture's impact on IVF-related stress, describe harms, and propose future directions for investigation. Conclusion Two to three acupuncture sessions performed on or around the day of embryo transfer are insufficient interventions to improve IVF birth outcomes but provide significant IVF-related stress reduction. Research investigating acupuncture to support IVF is heterogeneous and confounded by the lack of an appropriate comparator. However, evidence suggests several acupuncture sessions improve endometrial thickness, reduce stress, and improve patient satisfaction. Observational studies suggest more sessions are associated with increases in clinical pregnancy and live birth rates. An optimised acupuncture intervention with a reasonable comparator is necessary for future studies, with evidence-based guidance on technique and number of sessions. Acupuncture should not be rejected as an adjuvant therapy for IVF, but more studies are needed to clarify acupuncture's role in supporting IVF cycles.

During acupuncture treatments, acupuncture needles are manipulated to elicit the characteristic “de qi” reaction widely viewed as essential to acupuncture's therapeutic effect. De qi has a biomechanical component, “needle grasp,” which we have quantified by measuring the force necessary to pull an acupuncture needle out of the skin (pullout force) in 60 human subjects. We hypothesized that pullout force is greater with both bidirectional needle rotation (BI) and unidirectional rotation (UNI) than no rotation (NO). Acupuncture needles were inserted, manipulated, and pulled out by using a computer-controlled acupuncture needling instrument at eight acupuncture points and eight control points. We found 167 and 52% increases in mean pullout force with UNI and BI, respectively, compared with NO (repeated-measures ANOVA, P < 0.001). Pullout force was on average 18% greater at acupuncture points than at control points ( P < 0.001). Needle grasp is therefore a measurable biomechanical phenomenon associated with acupuncture needle manipulation.

Background. Aphasia is a common symptom in stroke patients, presenting with the impairment of spontaneous speech, repetition, naming, auditory comprehension, reading, and writing function. Multiple rehabilitation methods have been suggested for the recovery of poststroke aphasia, including medication treatment, behavioral therapy, and stimulation approach. Acupuncture has been proven to have a beneficial effect on improving speech functions in repetition, oral speech, reading, comprehension, and writing ability. Neuroimaging technology provides a visualized way to explore cerebral neural activity, which helps reveal the therapeutic effect of acupuncture therapy. In this systematic review, we aim to reveal and summarize the neuroimaging mechanism of acupuncture therapy on poststroke aphasia to provide the foundation for further study. Methods. Seven electronic databases were searched including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang databases, and the Chinese Scientific Journal Database. After screening the studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we summarized the neuroimaging mechanism of acupuncture on poststroke aphasia, as well as the utilization of acupuncture therapy and the methodological characteristics. Result. After searching, 885 articles were retrieved. After removing the literature studies, animal studies, and case reports, 16 studies were included in the final analysis. For the acupuncture type, 10 studies used manual acupuncture and 5 studies used electroacupuncture, while body acupuncture (10 studies), scalp acupuncture (7 studies), and tongue acupuncture (8 studies) were applied for poststroke aphasia patients. Based on blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technologies, 4 neuroimaging analysis methods were used including amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), regional homogeneity (ReHo), seed-based analysis, and independent component analysis (ICA). Two studies reported the instant acupuncture effect, and 14 studies reported the constant acupuncture’s effect on poststroke aphasia patients. 5 studies analyzed the correlation between the neuroimaging outcomes and the clinical language scales. Conclusion. In this systematic review, we found that the mechanism of acupuncture’s effect might be associated with the activation and functional connectivity of language-related brain areas, such as brain areas around Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area in the left inferior temporal gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, and inferior frontal gyrus. However, these studies were still in the preliminary stage. Multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCT) with large sample sizes were needed to verify current evidence, as well as to explore deeply the neuroimaging mechanisms of acupuncture’s effects.

This article reviews 3 studies that explore the effects of acupuncture on poststroke patients suffering from chronic stroke symptoms. The 3 studies selected strive to show how acupuncture can be a safe, noninvasive, and cost-effect rehabilitation tool useful in adjunct with traditional rehabilitation. Chou et al (2009), Hopwood et al (2008), and Wayne et al (2005) all studied acupuncture’s effects on quality of life. Additionally, both Hopwood et al and Wayne et al studied acupuncture’s effects on mobility and activities of daily living. While the frequency, duration, and length of the entire treatment varied by study, overall, the results of all 3 studies suggest that acupuncture increases quality of life and improves mobility and activities of daily living.

Bell’s Palsy (BP) is an acute unilateral facial paralysis due to idiopathic inflammation of the peripheral facial nerve. Corticosteroids, antiviral drugs, and physical therapy could be useful to treat BP, however these treatments could not bring complete recovery. Acupuncture could be an alternative option for BP and to show its effectiveness, we present a case report, a patient with BP treated with acupuncture. A 48-year-old female patient, a kindergarden teacher, already treated with corticosteroid and antiviral agents as soon as BP was diagnosed. Six weeks later, patient didn’t recover, with House-Brackmann score stage 3. Acupuncture was perfomed at local and distance acupoints at ears, body and face. Wrist Ankle Acupuncture (WAA) L1,2; ear acupuncture at zero point; and body points were stimulated by electroacu-puncture. After acupuncture therapy, the House-Brackmann score was grade 2. Medical options for the sequelae of BP are limited. Acupuncture’s effectivity in Bell palsy patients’ should be shown with more clinical studies.

â Architecture of Acupunctureâ refers to one way an architect may begin a design project. This thesis was a one-year collaborative effort with my Masters Diploma Professors, Peter Zumthor and Miguel Kreisler, at the Academy of Architecture in Mendrisio, Switzerland, in 2001. To begin, a surgical study of a place just south of Pavia, Italy, was conducted and analyzed to determine the most appropriate program for that place, and again analyzed to determine the most appropriate image and material for that program. I located points in the immediate area of the site where 1.water, 2.road, 3.built mass, and 4.event, intersect on the site and called these â points of convergence.â The points of convergence were used to map out a unique way in which the site can be read. These are the acupuncture points on the body of the place.

The project is an Industrial Fish Farm. It is the largest fish farm in Europe and sells fish to all of Northern Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and France, while also serving fresh fish daily to the small towns of Mezzana Corti, Tre Re, and Cascina della Colonne approximate to it.

The Farm is one and a half kilometers of concrete water-filled fields inserted into an irregular shaped land-form between two 18 foot tall existing earth dams.

The attitude of the Farm is a sensitive one in regard to the flat and quiet farming communities around it. The space the Fish Farm occupies cannot be seen unless from the roads which each run on top of the dams themselves. Two new structures are the only things that can be seen from outside the dams. One is a tower building. One is a line building.

The line building is a restaurant, ninety meters long. The Restaurant enhances the industrial program by offering back to the people of the nearby towns an opportunity to actively interact with the new farm. The Restaurant is clamped to the South Dam Road, which is used for public traffic around perimeter of the site. The tower building is the Operations Building. It acts as an aircraft control tower does for an aircraft carrier, consolidating all built mass into one central structure. The Operations Building is a landmark at the midpoint of the concrete fields. It is clamped to the North Dam Road, dedicated to the daily functioning of the Farm. Both structures are shack-like and cheap; both made well of steel and corrugated metal.

All built things inside the body of the Farm, including the two buildings, adopt in their appearances an â insect imageâ from the machines used to harvest the fish. They are raised up on long and thin steel legs so as to lightly touch the still water they stand in.

Background: Acupuncture involves puncturing the skin with thin sterile needles at defined acupuncture points. Previous studies are inconclusive regarding the effect of acupuncture on labour pain, but some studies have found a reduction in the use of pharmacological pain relief when acupuncture is administered. The appropriate dose of acupuncture treatment required to elicit a potential effect on labour pain has not been fully explored. The dose is determined by many different factors, including the number of needles used and the intensity of the stimulation. In Sweden, manual stimulation of the needles is common practice when acupuncture is used for labour pain, but electrical stimulation of the needles, which gives a higher dose, could possibly be more effective. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture with manual stimulation (MA) of the needles as well as acupuncture with a combination of manual and electrical stimulation (EA) in reducing labour pain, compared with standard care without any form of acupuncture (SC). Methods: The study was designed as a three-armed randomised controlled trial in which 303 nulliparous women with normal pregnancies were randomised to MA, EA, or SC. The primary outcome was labour pain, assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Secondary outcomes were relaxation during labour, use of obstetric pain relief, and associations between maternal characteristics and labour pain and use of epidural analgesia respectively. Also, labour and infant outcomes, recollection of labour pain, and maternal experiences, such as birth experience and experience of the midwife, were investigated two months after the birth. The sample size calculation was based on the potential to discover a difference of 15 mm on the VAS. Data were collected during labour before the interventions, the day after birth, and two months later. Besides using the VAS, information was collected by means of study specific protocol, questionnaires and medical records. Results: The mean VAS scores were 66.4 in the MA group, 68.5 in the EA group, and 69.0 in the SC group (mean differences: MA vs. SC 2.6 95% CI -1.7 to 6.9, and EA vs. SC 0.6 95% CI -3.6 to 4.8). Other methods of pain relief were used less frequently in the EA group, including epidural analgesia, MA 61.4%, EA 46%, and SC 69.9%. (EA vs. SC OR 0.4 95% CI 0.2 to 0.7). No statistically significant differences were found in the recollection of labour pain between the three groups two months after birth (mean VAS score: MA 69.3, EA 68.7 and SC 70.1). A few maternal characteristics were associated with labour pain (age, dysmenorrhea, and cervix dilatation), but none of the investigated characteristics predicted the outcome of the acupuncture treatment in MA or EA. Women in the EA group experienced acupuncture as being effective for labour pain to a higher extent than women who received MA, MA 44.4%, EA 67.1% (EA vs. MA OR 2.4 95% CI 1.2 to 4.8). Women in the EA group also spent less time in labour (mean 500 min) than those who received MA (mean 619 min) and SC (mean 615 min) (EA vs. MA HR 1.4 95% CI 1.0 to1.9, EA vs. SC HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.0), and had less blood loss than women receiving SC, (EA vs. SC OR 0.1 95% CI 0.3 to 0.7). The women’s assessment of the midwife as being supportive during labour (MA 77.2%, EA 83.5%, SC 80%), overall satisfaction with midwife care (MA 100%, EA 97.5%, SC 98.7%), and having an overall positive childbirth experience (MA 64.6%, EA 61.0%, SC 54.3%) did not differ statistically. No serious side effects of the acupuncture treatment were reported. Conclusion: Acupuncture, regardless of type of stimulation, did not differ from standard care without acupuncture in terms of reducing women’s experience of pain during labour, or their memory of pain and childbirth overall two months after the birth. However, other forms of obstetric pain relief were less frequent in women receiving a combination of manual and electrical stimulation, suggesting that this method could facilitate coping with labour pain.

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) is the most effective treatment for insomnia. Studies show that auricular acupuncture (AA) may alleviate insomnia symptoms. The overall aim of the thesis was to compare treatment effects of auricular acupuncture (AA) with cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) on symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, hypnotic drugs consumption and quality of life from short- and long-term perspectives. Paper I had a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. 16 participants received group-treatment with AA during their protracted withdrawal phase and were interviewed about their experiences. They participants experienced a reduction in protracted withdrawal symptoms, improved subjective sleep quality, a strong sensation of peacefulness and increased wellbeing. Paper II, III and IV present results from a randomised controlled trial in where the effects of group-treatment with AA and CBT-i were compared in short- and long-term using subjective (questionnaires and sleep diary) and objective (actigraphy) measurements. The results showed that CBT-i was superior to AA in reducing insomnia symptoms in both the short and long run. Both groups experienced significant long-term reduction of depressive symptoms. Further, both groups managed to maintain a decreased intake of hypnotic drugs at the end of the treatment when compared to baseline measurement. Short-term reduction of symptoms of anxiety and depression improved only in the AA group. The results from the objective actigraph recordings showed that the AA group slept more and the CBT-i group less after the treatment and that sleep patterns in both groups reverted to pre-treatment levels after 6 months. Conclusively: AA, as administered in this study, was not as good as CBT-i in treating insomnia symptoms, and should not be used as a stand-alone treatment for insomnia. Our results also demonstrate that prolonged sleep time does not necessarily yield better sleep, and that the perception of insomnia symptoms is not inevitably affected by sleep duration. AA was as effective as CBT-i in ending hypnotic drugs consumption. Moreover, AA was more successful than CBT-i in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression in the short run. Further studies investigating AA for anxiety and depression are motivated.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
A Acupunctura é praticada mundialmente apesar das dificuldades na conciliação do seu princípio com a medicina baseada na evidência. Hoje em dia existem já vários estudos científicos e abordagens para a explicação dos seus mecanismos. A Dermatite Atópica Canina (DAC) é uma doença de pele crónica, recorrente e pruriginosa, do foro alérgico e inflamatória. Tem predisposição genética e é considerada a segunda maior causa de prurido nos cães. Apesar de existir uma grande diversidade de métodos de controlo desta doença, com excepção da Imunoterapia Alergénio-Específica (IAE), não está estudado até ao momento qualquer outro método de tratamento que permita uma alteração do curso da doença com baixo risco de efeitos secundários, requerendo manutenção para o resto da vida do animal. No entanto, a sua eficácia para o tratamento humano da Dermatite Atópica é controverso e encontra-se contra-indicada na Dermatite de Tipo Atópico (DTA). Apesar de não existirem ainda estudos de acupunctura direccionados para a DAC, diversos estudos em humanos demonstram a sua eficácia na Dermatite Atópica. Isto indica que poderá ser uma terapia complementar segura para a DAC. Foi elaborado um estudo para observar a tolerância de cães com hipersensibilidade cutânea à Acupunctura e, simultaneamente, a evolução clínica da DAC com a Acupunctura como tratamento complementar, com a duração de 11 semanas. Apesar de uma amostra reduzida, com apenas 2 casos clínicos, o estudo revelou alguma resolução do prurido e inflamação. Tal aponta para a necessidade de estudos mais completos sobre Acupunctura em animais de companhia contando com uma maior amostra, grupo de controlo, avaliação cega e um maior tempo de tratamento para se conseguir avaliar a fundo a sua eficácia. O estudo de tolerância desta terapia por cães com hipersensibilidade cutânea permitiu concluir que, apesar da hipersensibilidade e agitação característica destes pacientes, o tratamento é perfeitamente tolerado. Isto parece apontar para, em animais com pele saudável, a tolerância aos tratamentos de Acupunctura ser ainda maior.
ABSTRACT - Acupuncture is practiced worldwide despite the difficulties in reconciling its principle with evidence-based medicine. Nowadays there are several scientific studies and approaches which explain its mechanisms. Canine Atopic Dermatitis (CAD) is a chronic, recurring, pruritic and inflammatory skin condition. There is a genetic predisposition and it is considered the second most common cause of pruritus in dogs. Despite the great diversity of methods available to control this disease, apart from allergen-specific immunotherapy no other treatment method is able to change its course with low risk of secondary effects, requiring life-long maintenance. However, its efficacy in the treatment of human Atopic Dermatitis is controversial and it’s contraindicated in the treatment of Atopic-Like Dermatitis. Despite there being as of yet no studies specifically tailored for CAD several studies have demonstrated its efficacy in human Atopic Dermatitis. This indicates it might be a safe complementary therapy for CAD. An 11-week study was elaborated in order to ascertain the tolerance of acupuncture by dogs with cutaneous hypersensitivity and, simultaneously, the clinical evolution of Canine Atopic Dermatitis when using acupuncture as a complementary treatment. Despite a small sample, two clinical cases only, the study revealed some improvement in terms of pruritus and inflammation. This indicates the need for further studies in companion animals with a bigger sample, control group, a blind study model and a longer treatment period so the efficacy of acupuncture can be accurately evaluated. The tolerance study in dogs with cutaneous hypersensitivity allowed for the conclusion that despite hypersensitivity and the restlessness that characterises these patients the treatment is very well tolerated. This seems to indicate that in subjects with healthy skin the treatment tolerance will be even higher.

Background and aim: Many patients with cancer experience emesis (nausea and vomiting) during radiotherapy. The overall aim of this thesis was to improve the situation for patients with risk for emesis during radiotherapy, by evaluating emesis in patients receiving verum (genuine) acupuncture, sham (simulated) acupuncture or standard care during radiotherapy. Methods: In study I, a cross-sectional sample (n=368) treated with radiotherapy over various fields answered a study-specific questionnaire. In study II, 80 healthy volunteers were randomized to receive needling with verum acupuncture or non-penetrating telescopic sham needles by one of four physiotherapists. In study III, 215 patients were randomly allocated to verum (n=109) or non-penetrating telescopic sham (n=106) acupuncture during their entire radiotherapy period over abdominal or pelvic fields. The same 215 patients were also included in study IV. They were compared to 62 patients irradiated over abdominal or pelvic fields, selected from study I. Results: In study I, the weekly prevalence of nausea was 39 % in all radiotherapy-treated patients and 63 % in abdominal or pelvic irradiated patients. Age younger than 40 years and previous experience of nausea in other situations were characteristics associated with an increased risk for nausea. Of the 145 nauseous patients, 34 % considered their antiemetic treatment as insufficient. Patients with nausea reported lower level of quality of life compared to patients free from nausea. In study II, most individuals needled with verum (68 %) or sham (68 %) acupuncture could not identify needling type, and that blinding result varied from 55 to 80 % between the four therapists. In study III, nausea was experienced by 70 % (mean number of days=10.1) and 25 % vomited during the radiotherapy period. In the sham group 62 % experienced nausea (mean number of days=8.7) and 28 % vomited. Ninety five percent in the verum and 96 % in the sham group believed that the treatment had been effective for nausea. In both groups, 67 % experienced other positive effects, on relaxation, mood, sleep or pain-reduction, and 89 % were interested in receiving the treatment again. In study IV, the weekly prevalence of nausea and vomiting was 38 and 8 % in the verum group, 37 and 7 % in the sham group and 63 and 15 % in the standard care group. The nausea difference between the acupuncture and the standard care cohort was statistically significant, also after overall adjustments for potential confounding factors. The nausea intensity in the acupuncture cohort was lower compared to the standard care cohort (p=0.002). Patients who expected nausea had increased risk for nausea compared to patients who expected low risk for nausea (Relative risk 1.6). Conclusions and implications: Nausea was common during abdominal or pelvic field irradiation in patients receiving standard care. Verum acupuncture did not reduce emesis compared to sham acupuncture, while reduced emesis was seen in both patients treated with verum or sham acupuncture. Health-care professionals may consider identifying and treating patients with increased risk for nausea in advance. The telescopic sham needle was credible. Researchers may thus use and standardize the sham procedure in acupuncture control groups. The choice of performing acupuncture during radiotherapy cannot be based on arguments that the specific characters of verum acupuncture have effects on nausea. It is important to further study what components in the acupuncture procedures that produce the dramatic positive but yet not fully understood antiemetic effect, making it possible to use those components to further increase quality of care during radiotherapy.

Resumo:

The process of pulse diagnosis was examined in a sample of 100 patients randomly selected from the author's acupuncture clinic. Patient symptoms, pulses (as utilised in traditional Chinese medicine), diagnostic criteria (as described in traditional Chinese medicine), acupuncture points selected and patient comments after each treatment were coded into a numerical format suitable for stepwise multiple regression and crosstabulation analysis. The analysis indicated that the interpretation of pulse qualities predicted the diagnostic criteria when used in accordance with the theories of acupuncture. The selection of acupuncture points could not be predicted from the diagnostic criteria when using pulse diagnosis. Additionally the analysis indicated that the patient comments after acupuncture were independent of the initial patient symptoms. More research is needed to more fully understand the process of pulse diagnosis. However the analysis does suggest that pulse diagnosis should be incorporated into acupuncture curricula in both traditional acupuncture courses and medical acupuncture courses.

Background: Blood pressure control is an important component of cardiovascular disease prevention. Despite the advances in the treatment of hypertension; effective management remains poor. Studies have shown that acupuncture facilitated a significant reduction in blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in reducing blood pressure on hypertensive patients. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collected articles from PubMed, Google Schoolar, Mendeley, and Hindawi databases. Keywords used “acupuncture hypertension” OR “acupuncture high blood pressure” AND “efficacy acupuncture” AND “hypertension” AND “effect acupuncture for hypertension” AND “randomized controlled trial” AND “visual analogue scale”. The study population was patients with hypertension. The intervention was acupuncture. The comparison was sham acupuncture. The outcome was blood pressure reduction. The inclusion criteria were full text with English language and using randomized controlled trial study design. The selected articles were analyzed by PRISMA flow diagram and RevMan 5.3. Results: 7 articles were studied. There was high heterogeneity between experiment groups (I2= 66%; p= 0.007). Acupuncture therapy was more effective to reduce blood pressure than sham acupuncture (Standardized Mean Difference= 0.13; 95% CI= -0.13 to 0.39; p= 0.320). Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy is effective to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Keywords: hypertension, acupuncture Correspondence: Fahmi Eko Susilo.

ABSTRACT Background: Musculoskeletal disorder affects the musculoskeletal system’s function, which includes tendons, bursae, bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments. Acupuncture is one of the non-pharmacological alternative therapies for treating musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of acupuncture in reducing pain in musculoskeletal diseases. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review. The study was collected articles from PubMed, ProQuest, Science Direct, Scopus, Spinger Link, and Google Scholar databases. The inclusion criteria were full text in English language and used randomized controlled trial study design. There were 8 articles with 466 study subjects comprised in two groups, including 236 people received acupuncture therapy (intervention) and 230 people received sham acupuncture (control). The selected articles were analyzed by ReVman 5.4. Results: This study had high heterogeneity (I2= 90%; p<0.001). This study reported that acupuncture was more effective to reduce musculoskeletal pain than sham acupuncture (Mean Difference= 1.63; 95% CI= 0.89 to 2.38; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Acupuncture is more effective to reduce musculoskeletal pain than sham acupuncture. Keywords: acupuncture, musculoskeletal pain Correspondence: Kurnia Eka Putri.

Acupuncture is a centuries-old traditional therapy that is used to treat a litany of diseases and conditions. Acupuncture is performed by inserting fine needles into specific locations defined in ancient times — acupressure is similarly applied at these points by tissue palpation without needle insertion. Manipulating these acupuncture points is believed to regulate the flow of energy or ‘qi’ through acupuncture meridians to produce specific, far-reaching results. Though no scientific correlate to ‘qi’ has been identified, acupuncture has indeed been demonstrated to be clinically effective for nausea [1] and osteoarthritic pain [2], and suggested for addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma [1]. Despite this evidence, no scientific basis for the location of acupuncture points has been found.

Traditional acupuncture therapy involves inserting needles at acupuncture points across the body and twisting them, which winds soft tissues around the acupuncture needle. In order to better understand this phenomenon Julias et al [1, 2] conducted in vitro acupuncture needling on collagen gels as a soft tissue analog. Using polarized light microscopy (PLM) (Fig. 1) they observed changes in collagen alignment and measured the torque developed on the needle during twisting. While these results are insightful, what remains unknown are the forces transmitted to the tissue surrounding the acupuncture point via the needle. Computational modeling allows us to calculate these forces, which could never be measured experimentally.

Acupuncture is a traditional therapy originating in China almost 2000 years ago. Acupuncture has slowly been growing in popularity in the West, and clinical evidence has shown the potential for acupuncture as a low-cost ‘alternative’ therapy for an assortment of ailments [1]. The practice of acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into the skin followed by needle manipulation, usually by rotation. Recent studies by Langevin et al demonstrate that this rotation causes the subcutaneous connective tissue to couple to and wind around the needle [2–4], which suggests that mechanotransduction in the connective tissue might play a role in the therapeutic mechanisms that underlay acupuncture [2, 3]. To begin to decompose and quantify this complex mechanism at the tissue level in a controlled setting, we have simulated acupuncture in type I collagen gels in vitro, and have developed algorithms to quantify the tissue response following imaging with polarized light microscopy (PLM).

Review question / Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable, and treatable disease characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and progressive airflow obstruction documented on spirometry. Acupuncture, as a safe and economical non-pharmacology therapy, has pronounced therapeutic effects in COPD patients. Several systematic reviews draw the conclusion that acupuncture could improve patients’ quality of life, exercise capacity and dyspnoea, however, the results about lung function were inconclusive. Recently, increasing number of animal studies has been published to illustrate the effects of acupuncture in improving lung function in COPD animal model. However, the efficacy of acupuncture for experimentally induced COPD have not been systematically investigated yet. A systematic review of animal experiments can benefit future experimental designs, promote the conduct and report of basic researches and provide some guidance to translate the achievements of basic researches to clinical application in acupuncture for COPD. Therefore, we will conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate effects of acupuncture on COPD animal model.

Review question / Objective: The purpose of this study is to summarize the characteristics of RCT in the treatment of obesity by acupuncture and other related intervention measures, so as to enhance evidence-based clinical practice about acupuncture for obesity. Condition being studied: Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease that is defined as a body's excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution of total or local fat content. Their complications such as Type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular diseases are strongly related to higher risks of mortality. In recent years, with the changes in diet structure and living habits, 1.9 billion adults were overweight and over 650 million were obese according to the report by the WHO in 2016. Acupuncture is a characteristic therapy of traditional Chinese medicine, which is effective and safe for the treatment of simple obesity. In recent years, many RCTs using acupuncture in simple obesity were carried out within and outside of China. But currently, acupuncture treatment has no uniform standard, and there are a number of problems with this current clinical application of modern Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately, there is an absence of high-quality data supporting their use. This scoping review aims to summarize the characteristics of RCT in the treatment of obesity by acupuncture and other related intervention measures, so as to enhance evidence-based clinical practice about acupuncture and moxibustion for obesity.
