The Biblimetrics Aalysis Of The Meridian-Musle Region Theory

BackgroundMeridian-Musle Region Theory(MMRT) is an important part of the meridian system, especially for the Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. MMRT involves a wider range of tendon diseases, in addition to some of the motor nerve system diseases and some incurable diseases. However, MMRT has not been given sufficient attention, more studies have reported on the meridian, relatively few studies on it. In recent years, due to the rise of the national characteristics therapy, especially Zhuang doctors use MMRT to treat many diseases, and more researches coverage, so the MMRT gets more attention.In recent years, an increasing number articles confirmed on MMRT.There is no consensus of the Physiological and pathological or usages about MMRT yet. Objective and significanceWith the development of theoretical studies of MMRT, a great number of MMRT have been published in our nation, but the information of MMRT is the odds and ends without statistical processing. It is insufficient of bibliometrics analysis research in this domin, and unable to grasp the overall situation and development trend of MMRT study. In this study, bibliometric analysis is sused on MMRT of moeden literature, end to rich meridian theory, improve the MMRT, and further explore the modern development and clinical use, to provide some ideas and the basis for the future research.Contents and methodsThis research adopts the method of biblimetrics analysis and the means of quantification to statistically analyze the articles about MMRT which were published officially and published in our nation from1984to2011. It will analyze the annual amount of the articles, the region distribution of the articles, the periodical distribution of the articles, the research style of the articles, clinical research of the articles,etc.Results and ConclusionThe results of this study shows that the amount of the articles about MMRT keeps on growing, and the research of the realm is placed in a rather active stage especially after2009. So we can predict that the domestic research of MMRT go deep and the relevant amount of articles will keep on increasing for a period of time in future. The regional distribution of the literature showed the equilibrium outside of Guangxi, the literature major outputs distributed in the eastern coastal economically developed areas, the literature of the western region is significantly less, on the one hand, there may be regional differences prompted by the incidence of tendon disease, on the other hand, prompted by the reinforcement of scientific research into the existence of regional differences. Description of the research activities in the level of activity with the local research environment, economic strength has a significant relationship. Beijing is in the leading position, issued a document from Disease Research Center at the China Academy of Traditional Acupuncture Institute by tendons. Guangxi second only to Beijing, Huang Jingwei take the lead in research. Track these core topics of regional institutions oriented, in order to understand the focus of the study by the tendons and the development trend.Domestic publications, ranked in the top9kinds of journals Papers which have nearly one-third of total articles. Among the9kinds of papers, there is7kinds of Chinese medicine class magazine, the other are Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies by tendon diagnosis and treatment professionals Committee of Heilongjiang University of TCM. These two papers are very important to get the impormation of MMRT. And the two top-ranking journals are acupuncture magazines, these magazines are the main positions for the MMRT.Analysis of the advantages of the use of MMRT, orthopedics reinforcement theory to use the share of disease most subjects.274artcles involved in39kinds of diseases,22kinds of orthopedic literature and the share of the amount of up to105articles,52.5%. And it is commonly used in knee arthritis and cervical spondylosis. The second commonly use is neurology, and the diseases are stroke sequelae, such as limb spasticity.Two main aspects of the methods of MMRT, acupuncture and massage techni ques; needles include traditional acupuncture needle, fire needle, crochet, round edge needle, round sharp needle, small needle-knife; and the use of needles is the most widely used. Maybe the causes of a need a strong anatomical basis, but also require higher operating capacity; addition, as these operations than the pain, so the other5needles are less use.
