Clinical study on liver MRI based on the theory of 'harmonization and neutralization' for precise quantitative analysis of acupoint catgut embedding in simple obesity
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of acupoint catgut embedding on patients with simple obesity based on the theory of'harmonization and centralization'.Methods:A total of 98 patients with simple obesity were divided into acupoint catgut embedding group(49 cases,15 cases fell off,5 cases were eliminated,and 29 cases were eventually enrolled)and nutrition management group(49 cases,11 cases fell off,9 cases were eliminated,and 29 cases were eventually enrolled)according to random number table method.The nutrition management group was given simple nutrition management therapy for 6 weeks.The acupoint catgut embedding group was given nutritional management on the basis of acupoint catgut embedding,once every two weeks acupoint catgut embedding therapy,and a total of three treatments were performed.At the same time,liver MRI precise quantification analysis was performed on patients before and after treatment,LiverLab system was used to accurately analyze the changes of liver fat content and R2* value before and after treatment,and abdominal wall thickness with umbilical plane was calculated.Body mass index(BMI),body mass,waist-to-hip ratio,and percentage of body fat(PBF)were compared.Results:Body mass,liver fat content,BMI,R2* value,waist-to-hip ratio,umbilical abdominal wall thickness and PBF were significantly decreased in acupoint catgut embedding group before and after treatment(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).In the nutrition management group,R2* value,waist-to-hip ratio and PBF after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05).There were statistical significance in body mass,liver fat content,BMI,R2* value,differences in various indicators before and after treatment,and percentage difference before and after treatment between the two groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Conclusion:Acupoint catgut embedding can significantly reduce liver fat content,R2* value,and abdominal wall thickness with umbilical plane in patients with simple obesity.
