Abstract

Objective: To assess the efficacy of acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) for simple obesity in preclinical animal experiments.

Methods: We searched the following 14 electronic databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, KoreaMed, Korean Studies Information Service System, Science-on, Research Information Sharing Service, Korea Citation Index, Korea Traditional Knowledge Portal, China Network Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang Database, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, and Chinese Biology Medicine Database, from inception to November 2021 without language limitation. The assessment was performed according to the guidelines of Animal Research: Reporting of experiments; and Meta-analysis was performed using Reviewer Manager 5.4.1 software.

Results: Twenty-four studies involving 813 animals were selected. Meta-analysis showed that ACE was beneficial for weight control [ 40, = -50.63, 95% (－57.59, －43.67), 0.000 01, = 0%] and reduced the Lee index [ 40, = －18.79, 95% (－20.01, －17.57), 0.000 01, = 0%]. However, when efficacy of ACE was compared with that of manual acupuncture, electroacupuncture, or oilistat therapy, statistical difference was not observed between the two groups.

Conclusions: This systematic review suggests that ACE may be efficacious in treating obesity. Moreover, the analyses highlighted the necessity to perform well-designed, higher-quality experiments.

穴位埋线治疗单纯性肥胖的动物研究：系统综述和荟萃分析。

目的：在临床前动物实验中评价穴位埋线（ACE）治疗单纯性肥胖症的疗效。方法：检索PubMed、Cochrane Library、EMBASE、东方医学高级检索集成系统、KoreaMed、韩国学信息服务系统、Science on、研究信息共享服务、韩国引文索引、韩国传统知识门户、中国网络知识基础库、万方数据库等14个电子数据库，中国科技期刊数据库和中国生物医药数据库，从创办到2021年11月，不受语言限制。根据动物研究指南进行评估：实验报告；使用Reviewer Manager 5.4.1软件进行荟萃分析。结果：选择了24项研究，涉及813只动物。荟萃分析显示，ACE有利于控制体重[40，=-50.63,95%（-57.59，-43.67），0.00001，=0%]，降低Lee指数[40，=-18.79，95%（-20.01，-17.57），.00001，=0%]。然而，当将ACE的疗效与手法针灸、电针或油剂疗法进行比较时，两组之间没有观察到统计学差异。结论：本系统综述表明ACE可能对治疗肥胖有效。此外，这些分析强调了进行精心设计、高质量实验的必要性。
