Abstract
The aging of the population is one of the most concerns in the medical circle. Exploring the safe and effective anti-aging protocol is important in the study. The paper summarized the relevant articles for the anti-aging effect mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion in recent 10 years from 9 aspects such as resisting oxidation and free radical damage, and regulating body immunity, neuroendocrine function, cell autophagy, aging-related gene expression, the deacetylase (Sirtuins) family, telomere with telomerase, epigenetic and iron metabolism. It is pointed out that acupuncture-moxibustion refers to the holistic therapy for anti-aging, characterized as multiple targets, multiple channels and full dimensions. The multidisciplinary cross-over study should be conduced on the basis of the dual regulatory effect of acupuncture and moxibustion, combined with modern life science and artificial intelligence technology, which is significant to reveal the scientific mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion for anti-aging.
期刊介绍:
Acupuncture Research was founded in 1976. It is an acupuncture academic journal supervised by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, co-sponsored by the Institute of Acupuncture of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the Chinese Acupuncture Association. This journal is characterized by "basic experimental research as the main focus, taking into account clinical research and reporting". It is the only journal in my country that focuses on reporting the mechanism of action of acupuncture.
The journal has been changed to a monthly journal since 2018, published on the 25th of each month, and printed in full color. The manuscript acceptance rate is about 10%, and provincial and above funded projects account for about 80% of the total published papers, reflecting the latest scientific research results in the acupuncture field and has a high academic level. Main columns: mechanism discussion, clinical research, acupuncture anesthesia, meridians and acupoints, theoretical discussion, ideas and methods, literature research, etc.
