Methods Ninety-five cases were randomly allocated into an observation group and a control group. In observation group （n=50） patients were treated with acupuncture and quick cupping therapy at the selected eight points around umbilicus, namely Huaroumen （滑肉门 ST 24）, Tianshu （天枢 ST 25）,Wailing （外陵 ST 26）,Shuifen （水分 CV 9）, and Yinjiao（阴交 CV 7）.In control group （n=45） patients were advised to take Sibutramine, an oral administration to suppress appetite. Relevant data concerning one＇s weight, body mass index （BMI）, waist hip ratio （WHR） and distribution rate of body fat （F%） before treatment and after eight weeks＇ of treatment were collected to observe the effects. Results The total effective rate was 98.0%（49/50） in the observation group and 97.8%（44/45） in the control group. There was no significant difference on body weight and BMI between the two groups （P〉0.05）, however the therapeutic effects on WHR and F% in the observation group were more satisfactory than those of the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Acupuncture and quick cupping therapy at the selected eight points around umbilicus have a good therapeutic effect on simple obesity, moreover acupuncture and quick cupping therapy can greatly improve the condition of WHR and F% for obesity patients, which is also safe and without any side effect.展开更多

We used both original source texts and textual criticism to trace the original meaning of the phrases, ＂take the tender spot as the point＂ and ＂use the Ashi method.＂ Linguistic theory informed our discussion of three similar terms and our analysis of them. We show that Ashi points are in theory similar to regular acupuncture points in terms of their definition and function. Furthermore, we can use the concept of ＂c/i-pathway （Qi./ie）＂ to expand our understanding of the clinical use of Ashi points. Ultimately, the main purpose of our research was to clarify that the classical Ashi point and modern, western concept of the trigger point are in fact quite similar. The two concepts have been described in different languages primarily due to cultural differences.展开更多
