A study of acupoint selection rules of Moxibustion and Auricular point therapy in the treatment of urinary retention after anorectal surgery based on data mining
Journal Title: Toxicology Communications - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System (V2.5), we explored the compatibility rules of moxibustion and auricular point prescriptions in the treatment of urinary retention after anorectal surgery, and further to obtain new prescriptions. Methods: We searched CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM databases for the literature of moxibustion and auricular point therapy for urinary retention after anorectal surgery, collecting complete prescriptions and entering them into the Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System (V2.5). The acupoint frequency, association rules, and combination rules were analyzed by data mining method of software integration. Results: 126 moxibustion prescriptions were selected, and the acupoints for urinary retention after anorectal surgery in the literature were analyzed, including 10 acupoints with frequency ≥ 6, 9 acupoint combinations with frequency ≥ 26, 5 acupoints with association rules, 6 core acupoint combinations and 3 new prescription. 124 auricular point prescriptions were selected, and the relevant acupoints in the literature were analyzed, including 10 acupoints with frequency of use ≥ 18, 15 acupoint combinations with frequency ≥ 40, 12 acupoint combinations with association rules, 6 core acupoint combinations, and 3 new prescriptions. The core points include Qihai (RN6), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zhongji (RN3), Guanyuan (RN4). The auricular point therapy is more to select the tenderness points and acupoints that have an impact on the urinary system, mainly including “Pangguang” (CO9), “Shenmen” (TF4), “Shen” (CO10), “Sanjiao” (CO17), “Pizhixia” (AT4), “Niaodao” (HX3), “Fei” (CO14), “Jiaogan” (AH6a). Conclusion: Moxibustion for the treatment of urinary retention is mainly based on invigorating “Primordial Qi” and regulating the functions of “Middle Jiao” (refers to the area of the body just below the diaphragm and above the navel that helps produce delicate nutrients). The entropic clustering of complex systems excavated new prescriptions for the treatment of urinary retention after anorectal surgery, providing new ideas for future research and treatment.
