Study on Acupoint Selection Rule of Acupuncture and Moxibustion for Treatment of Renal Edema Based on Data Mining
Objective:To summarize and analyze the rule of acupoint selection of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of renal edema.Methods:The literature of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of renal edema in CNKI database,Wanfang database,VIP database,Chinese biomedical literature database and PubMed database were searched.After extracting the data,Microsoft Excel 2019 was used to establish the acupoint prescription database,and SPSS Modeler 18.0 and SPSS 26.0 software were used for data analysis.Results:99 articles were ultimately included,involving 74 acupoints,with a total application frequency of 546.The top 5 acupoints in the application frequency of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of renal edema were Shenshu(BL 23),Zusanli(ST 36),Sanyinjiao(SP 6),Guanyuan(RN 4),and Shuifen(RN 9).The main meridians that acupoints belong to were the Ren meridian,the Foot Taiyang Bladder meridian,the Foot Taiyin Spleen meridian,and the Foot Yangming Stomach meridian.The distribution of acupoints in the lower limbs is the highest,involving a total of 25 acupoints.Among specific acupoints,the five-shu acupoints have the highest frequency of use.There were 17 strong association rules for acupoints,among which"Pishu(BL 20)→ Shenshu(BL 23)"has the highest support.The results of cluster analysis showed that the acupoints were divided into 4 categories.The core acupoints were Pishu(BL 20),Shenshu(BL 23),Yinlingquan(SP 9),Sanyinjiao(SP 6),Zusanli(ST 36),Qihai(RN 6),Guanyuan(RN 4),Shuifen(RN 9).Conclusion:The acupoints of Ren Meridian,Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian,Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian and Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian are the main acupoints selected for acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of renal edema,and the guiding ideology of syndrome differentiation and treatment is to regulate Yin and Yang,cultivating the earth to treat edema,and pay attention to warming water and regulating the triple energizer.
