Abstract:
Four cases of rejection reactions after acupoint embedding with chromic catgut as well as the diagnosis and treatment course were reported to reveal the importance of rejection reaction and its generality. Besides, the cause and mechanism were discussed. By combining the treatment experience, it was recommended to replace the catgut with third-generation absorbable medical suture, which could prompt execution of standardized manipulation of acupoint embedding.
