Obesity often results when regular caloric intake exceeds the energy expenditure. Hypothalamus is the center that regulates feeding and energy balance inside the body, especially the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and ventromedial nucleus (VMN). Acupuncture-moxibustion has achieved significant progress in treating simple obesity, and the relevant studies have revealed the central action mechanism underlying the treatment. By reviewing the literatures associated with the mechanism studies on acupuncture-moxibustion for simple obesity, this article is going to provide clinical and scientific guidance for the treatment of simple obesity with acupuncture-moxibustion.

Objective To explore and compare the clinical effects of pregnant women with liver cirrhosis after hepatitis in cesarean section between general anesthesia and single spinal anesthesia.Methods Clinical data of pregnant women of 35,including compensated cirrhosis 26 cases,decompensated cirrhosis 9 cases,aged 24-45 years,weighing 55-98 kg,falling into ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ,were divided into group A (general anesthesia group,n=15) and B (single spinal group,n=20).In patients of group A,propofol were infused at 1.5 mg/kg till the time for fetal delivery,after intubation,followed by infusion of remifentanil at a rate of 0.2 μg·kg-1·min-1 TCL combined with propofol until the end of operation.In group B,the puncture was performed at L3-4 interspace,following by intrathecal injection of ropivacaine 10~15 mg and within 10 seconds.With liver cirrhosis after hepatitis were collected and analyzed,retrospectively.Preoperative general status,blood loss and time of operation,Apgar score of neonates compared and analyzed in groups A and B.And the changes of hepatic function and coagulation function of the body under different anesthesia methods were also studied.The influential factors of postoperative elevation of hepatic function were analyzed by non-conditional logistic regression models.Results Blood loss and time of operation,Apgar score of neonates and postoperative hospital stay had no significant differences between the two groups.Postoperative albumin of group A was higher than that of preoperative,with a statistical significance (P<0.05).Alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase of postoperative of group B were increased,with a statistical significance (P<0.01).Logistic analysis showed that the type of anesthesia was the possible influencing factor of postoperative elevation of total bilirubin (OR=12.04,95%CI 1.14-127.45).Conclusion The negative effect of single spinal anesthesia on hepatic function more than that of general anesthesia in pregnant women with liver cirrhosis in cesarean section.
