As a kind of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, embedded wire therapy has the advantage of its long-term effect. Starting in the 1960 s, embedded wire therapy on its effectiveness is widely applied in all kinds of the treatment of chronic diseases, especially in primary care, bury line therapy due to Jane, then, popularization of abundant and cheap. However this is quite distinctive therapy due to large trauma, rejection of the late development gradually declined. In recent years, the improvement of needle, the theory of the development of modern biological materials and perfect this treatment back in clinical medicine field, in terms of efficacy or safety gradually obtained the recognition of people, not only such, embedded wire therapy due to the elements, combined with modern biological materials will also along with the development of the clinical needs and biological materials development, become a new development direction of the development of the acupuncture and moxibustion medicine.

【 origin and inheritance 】

Although the theory of embedded wire therapy is thought is the result of the retaining needle in neijing, but specific origin already embedded wire is unknown. According to the literatures, embedded wire therapy may be originated from the combination of group therapy and acupuncture, or is the result of early acupuncture home Zhu Lian intradermal needle therapy. Early embedded wire therapy, also known as "buried therapy" "acupoint plant line" "acupoints preparetions" "acupoints threading method". Whatever the origin and what kind of name, the embedded wire therapy represents a acupuncture treatment mode of innovation, a kind of important transformation of the acupuncture treatment model.

Through meridians preparetions material implements the long-term treatment effect of acupuncture, it is not only in clinical curative effect is achieved, and convenient for the treatment of patients, and make the acupuncture treatment from happened repeatedly treatment to change the way of long-term treatment, this is very useful in the treatment of various chronic diseases. Early buried line therapy practice, embedded wire therapy is not only used for a variety of painful disease, but also used for chronic stomach disease, asthma, high blood pressure, insomnia, diabetes and other medical disease, has obtained the good curative effect. For these chronic diseases, embedded wire treatment on the one hand, has played a positive role, on the other hand to reduce the use of a large number of drugs, in the lack of drugs has an important role in primary care. Today's medical disease, occupied large proportion of all kinds of chronic diseases, therefore, in determining the embedded wire treatment, on the basis of inheritance, development and application of embedded wire therapy in all kinds of slow disease prevention and control of still has the vital significance.

Early embedded wire therapy without dedicated instruments trauma is larger. Either cut buried, threading, U line method requires a local anaesthetic, therefore the probability of infection is also very big. As an alternative in the treatment of incurable diseases or underserved first-line treatment still can be used in clinical, but with the popularity of the development of modern medical science and medicine, embedded wire therapy due to the tedious operation, rejection and infection incidence higher reason gradually reduce in clinical application. However, in some basic medical institutions, embedded wire therapy due to its effectiveness is still used in clinical. In recent years, on the basis of the traditional embedded wire therapy, buried line therapy for a lot of improvement, and combined with the modern science and technology to form the minimally invasive buried line therapy. Minimally invasive embedded wire therapy not only retain the effectiveness of the embedded wire therapy, convenience, safety and noninvasive, green is simple, make traditional embedded wire therapy to glow the vitality again.

"Fusion and innovation"

In recent years the development of acupuncture point bury line is embodied in three aspects: one is the development of the instrument; Second is the development of materials; Three is the development of the theory. Equipment is embodied in the development of embedded wire dedicated equipment, is developed according to the clinical need disposable needle buried line. The most commonly used mainly by holding a one-time embedded wire needle handle, stainless steel needle body and the core of the needle core is connected to the needle handle to spring. Its characteristic is: to extend the needle handle make it easier and reduce the patients pain into the needle, needle injection using reduced trauma, avoids the anesthesia, and the use of the spring can assist material placement and, in addition, special embedded wire pin can be make some manipulation, such as blunt dissection, floating needle swept away, and so on.

If embedded wire therapy is acupuncture model is an important innovation, so the application of modern biological materials is embedded wire therapy innovation once again. Embedded wire therapy depends on the stimulation of acupuncture points, then choose what kind of material, what stimulation is the realization of embedded wire treatment is important one annulus. Early embedded wire material is given priority to with gut, there are also using the mane, animal tissue and other material buried line therapy. Obviously, these material implanted for foreign proteins or health reasons a high probability of adverse reactions, and it is not easy to absorb, become restrict the major obstacle of the development of embedded wire therapy.

The development of modern biological materials make the embedded wire has a wide selection of materials and development space. Now can choose the material with lines to collagen, chemical synthesis and polymer synthesis of embedded source line body. Of new type polymer thread style such as poly (glycolide lactide (PGLA) derived from corn and sugar beet, after weaving and coating, stimulation intensity, moderate hardness and absorption time, good histocompatibility, no protein immune reaction, be widely used in the embedded wire therapy line material, can be used in a variety of diseases, and most of the points.

With the development of embedded wire equipment and materials, buried line theory in recent years there are great development. Acupoint selection, prescription with hole patterns, buried line level is an important link of burying line therapy. In prescription with acupuncture point model, a control based on nerve segments of match point, for example: cervical spondylosis in C5, C6, C7 clip ridge cave, chronic stomach disease take T6, T7 has, T8, T9 clip ridge point; One is based on the level of the theory of zang-fu organs and meridians with holes, such as asthma prescription: viscera back shenshu point selected lung yu, shen shu; Ren du tu in the second pulse acupuncture point selected, shan in the sea, air, guan yuan; Tired day find choose shut, columns, lack; Experience with acupuncture point selected out. Such as insomnia, viscera back shenshu point choose heart shu shu, kidney; Ren du second pulse acupuncture point selection chung wan, guan yuan; Tired day find choose god door, three vaginal intercourse; Singular point choose sleeping (yifeng and wind pool connection point). Integration with other stitch hole method is also one aspect in the development of embedded wire therapy in recent years. Such as embedded wire with singular point, with the combination of abdominal acupuncture, combined with the holographic therapy and combined with the first needle therapy, etc.

In terms of thread burying depth, the application of ultrasound images for embedded wire therapy research thread burying depth provides powerful means and effective level. Ultrasonic study found, for example, when embedded wire meridian qi level lies in the deep fascia, the treatment of cervical spondylosis pain level effectively crack in neck muscles, etc.

"Exploration and development"

Minimally invasive embedded wire therapy efficacy, safety, and combined with modern biological materials for the development of the embedded wire therapy has provided a broad space. Embedded wire therapy treatment application range is from common neck, shoulder, waist painful disease, asthma, such as gastritis, etc to various chronic diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, insomnia and other diseases. In skin disease, tumor, gynecology, Parkinson's disease, some difficulty miscellaneous disease treatment, such as stubborn sex constipation, buried line therapy also started the preliminary exploration and research. Embedded wire therapy with acupuncture point prescription system and method of operation still need further logical and standardization. As a complete treatment system, embedded wire treatment to achieve "four modernizations", namely, objectification and standardization, visualization. Standardization including operation, prescription and nursing standard; Objective to realize the objective of the evaluation index; Standardized in order to achieve accurate medical product standards, and according to the individual, and the visualization is to clear treatment level, rather than the rule of thumb for embedded wire treatment.

In terms of embedded wire, intelligent materials is also a direction of the future development. Against a disease or an aspect, can develop appropriate structure embedded wire materials, appropriate stimulation, appropriate mode, appropriate time, to produce appropriate, stimulating effect on clinical need, for the treatment of service. At present, the expansion and spontaneous heat materials and the developing direction of the intelligent material is embedded wire material.

Model transformation determines the direction of change. The revival of the embedded wire therapy formed a diversified, multiple acupuncture development field. Model transformation for embedded wire therapy development laid a solid foundation, the development of the instrument provides a convenient tool for embedded wire therapy, application of materials for embedded wire therapy injected new elements, theory of fusion for embedded wire therapy to expand more clinical application.

As an indispensable link of medical science, embedded wire therapy in such aspects as basic research and treatment mechanism is still inadequate. Because the changing of the model and the application of material science, embedded wire therapy is no longer a simple substitution of the acupuncture treatment, on the basis of the standardization and normalization treatment, should actively explore embedded wire therapy treatment mechanism, these studies not only promote the improvement of clinical curative effect, and will promote the development of the embedded wire therapy, promote the development of traditional acupuncture and moxibustion medicine.
