The development of ulcerative colitis(UC)is closely related to genetic and environmental factors,impaired intestinal mucosal barrier function,intestinal immunological disorders and dysbiosis of intestinal bacterial flora.Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment has been emphasized for improving intestinal inflammation in UC.In this article,the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion in alleviating UC was reviewed from the aspects of immune cells,inflammatory factors and intestinal flora,and believed that acupuncture may exert therapeutic effects by improving the immune homeostasis among T-lymphocytes,inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory factors including IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8,regulating the abundance of different species of intestinal flora,modulating macrophage polarization,and inhibiting oxidative stress.The possible mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of UC was summarized to provide reference for the related research of inflammatory bowel disease.
