Abstract
Microbiota-gut-brain axis refers to a bidirectional pathway between gut microbiota and the central nervous systems via neural, immune, endocrine and metabolic pathways, and its dysfunction is the crucial factor implicated in many diseases. Acupuncture adjusts the microbiota-gut-brain axis through regulating the structure and metabolic state of gut microbiota, improving the intestinal microenvironment, restoring the stability of intestinal mucosal barrier and blood-brain barrier, stimulating vagus nerve, reducing inflammation and modulating neurotransmitters, so that nervous system diseases, mental diseases, digestive system diseases and metabolic diseases can be treated. With the latest research trends and the cutting-edge technologies considered, the studies in the future should deepen the mechanism of acupuncture on the physiological pathway for modulating the structure and composition of gut microbiota as well as its holistic elaboration.
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.
