Abstract
Acupuncture and moxibustion therapies are widely used in the field of anti-inflammation, but the dynamic characteristics of inflammatory response with time in the modern biological mechanism research has been ignored to some extent. Therefore, the body surface intervention system represented by acupuncture-moxibustion urgently needs to rebuild the research perspective oriented to the complex immune regulation model, and then to explore the opportunity of acupuncture-moxibustion anti-inflammatory intervention according to the dynamic change process of inflammatory response. Through comparative analysis on the ancient and modern acupuncture-moxibustion immune regulation, and starting from the construction of clinical body surface intervention system, we propose that grasping the appropriate "intervention opportunity" is an important entry point that cannot be ignored to effectively "pry" inflammatory response.
