Abstract
Chemokines are involved in multiple pathological processes mainly associated with inflammatory responses by stimulating cell migration. The article reviews changes in the expression of several important chemokines after acupuncture treatment in the last five years, elucidates the mechanism
of action of acupuncture in the treatment of various diseases from the perspective of chemokines, and provides reference for promoting the application of acupuncture and enhancing its treatment efficacy.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and promotion of basic and clinical research in acupuncture, electro-therapeutics, and related fields. The journal was established in order to make acupuncture and electro-therapeutics a universally acceptable branch of medicine through multidisciplinary research based on scientific disciplines. The final goal is to provide a better understanding of both the beneficial and adverse effects of these treatments in order to supplement or improve existing methods of diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in both Western and Oriental medicine.
