Il faut sans cesse rappeler au malade qu'il doit participer au traitement. En effet 9 fois sur 10, on peut considérer que l'obésité n'est pas une maladie à proprement parler ; elle résulte le plus souvent d'un laisser-aller. Il ne doit donc y avoir à aucun moment prise en charge complète du sujet par le médecin, même si l'intervention de ce dernier est conseillée, voire souhaitable. Il faut faire comprendre au patient le problème et les solutions simples qui en découlent. Un minimum d'effort et de persévérance doit être exigé de l'obèse, il n'y a pas de miracle dans ce domaine surtout si l'on ne veut pas tomber dans le piège des cataboliseurs. Ceux-ci sont souvent le prélude à une thérapeutique sans fin, qui tout en permettant d'obtenir des résultats incontestables aggravent le sujet sur le plan de son équilibre psychique.

Je pense qu'il faut simplement permettre au patient d'accéder à une plus grande autonomie à tous les niveau : physique, mental, spirituel, à un meilleur équilibre interne, même si cela peut l'amener dans certains cas à renoncer à maigrir ; essayer de rendre vos "obèses" heureux... et ils maigriront d'eux-mêmes !.

La symptômatologie présentée par les obèses : asthénie, palpitations, respiration rapide, distension abdominale, sensation de lourdeur des jambes, lombalgies, selles rares, oedèmes, règles irrégulières, écchymoses, langue pâle et molle avec un enduit blanc, un pouls rapide et mou montrent qu'il s'agit d'un vide de la rate et des reins (vide du rein yang qui ne peut nourrir la rate yang ou vice-versa). Le vide de la rate entraîne l'excès de glaire qui va entraver le fonctionnement des poumons, de l'estomac, du chong mai et ren mai. Sur ces bases pathogéniques est utilisée la décoction Qinshen n°1 qui vise à tonifier la rate, réchauffer le rein yang, activer le sang et lever la stase. La durée du traitement a été de 4 à 23 semaines. Une perte de poids est observée dans 96 % des cas, la perte moyenne est de 3,72 kg. Dans 20 cas le poids a atteint le niveau souhaité.

La méthode est une méthode de santé globale, de remise en bonne santé. Le titre de cet ouvrage aurait tout aussi bien pu être : "Maigrir... en soignant tout le reste" car, avec l'acupuncture et les médecines nouvelles, on peut faire une remise en bonne forme et en bonne santé sur le plan fonctionnel que ce soit au niveau des douleurs, des dépressions nerveuses légères, des petits problèmes sexuels ou des dysfonctionnements de tel ou tel organe. Avec les médecines nouvelles, notamment électromagnétisme, auriculothérapie et laser médical doux, c'est, pour certains, le début d'un amaigrissement sans régime strict ou du moins

sans régime permanent, avec une orientation diététique plus ou moins consciente donc moins astreignante et plus facilement supportable.

L'effet est évalué sur des questionnaires portant sur la quantité de nourriture, la sensation de faim ou satiété, la quantité de boisson, le volume urinaire. Parallèlement sont mesurés avant et après traitement : le poids, la pression osmotique du plasma et la concentration en hormone antidiurétique. Dans les groupes (C) et (L) on observe une augmentation de la sensation de plénitude, une diminution de la quantité de boisson.

principales causes de l'obésité sont la polyphagie, le dérèglement alimentaire et la sédentarité. En MTC la polyphagie favorise l'obésité par surplus énergétique, par dérèglement alimentaire, par affaiblissement de l'énergie alimentaire et de l'énergie Weï, et la sédentarité par surplus et mauvaise circulation énergétique. De plus, l'accumulation de graisse dans les tissus adipeux entraine un ralentissement de la circulation dans les méridiens, ce qui affecte les métabolismes en général.

In addition, acupuncture brought about good regulation effect on lipid metabolism and plasma cAMP of patients.

(eng). ref:12 The health problems and complaints associated with overweight, sitomania, nicotine and smoking affect large sections of the population throughout the world. The loss of control and moderation as well as the patients's psychic or psychosomatic background often doom numerous attempts of weight reduction and restriction of sitomania and nicotine addiction to failure. For most people, the withdrawal phase is inimaginably difficult, given the stress of our everyday lives. This of course, results in a high relapse rate. Before commencing therapy with acupuncture and laser frequencies, a thorough, target-oriented case history which takes account of psychological problems is an absolute must. The problem of a probable weight gain after withdrawal from nicotine addiction must be taken into consideration. This paper reports on some 20 year's practical experience with therapy programs after Nogier, Bahr and my own concept of point combinations. For the overweight, it has been possible to achieve considerable reductions in weight which have then been maintained. In most cases, a single or a few auricular acupunctures were all that was required to stop smoking, for which there was a relatively small relapse rate. Problems with withdrawal symptoms were even rarer and could usually be influenced by magnetic field therapy? The failure rate was approx. 15-20%.

Setting : Milan, Italy. All patients arrived in our private consultation rooms after reading an article on acupuncture and "cellulitis" in a popular health magazine. Patients : 102 female patients, aged between 15 and 58. Design : patients divide into four groups according to the principles of TCM. Group 1-Shen Xu syndrome with stasis along either or both Zushaoyang and Zutaiyang meridians. Group 2-Qi Xu, Pi Xu or Yang Xu syndrome with fat evenly distributed on the thighs down to the knees. Group 3-Qi and/or Xue stasis syndrome : young patients in postpubertal age with a uniform swelling of the thigh. Group 4-swelling or phlegm due to Pi Xu syndrome. Data were analyzed after 2 courses of 10 sittings (two sittings a week, each lasting 20 minutes. Main outcome measures : Decrease in centimeters of the thigh circumference, disappearance of the subjective symptoms and clinical manifestation due to the specific syndrome. Results : Effective results obtained in 87 patients (84 %). Good and excellent results (2-3 cm decreased) obtained in 31 patients (71 %) for Group 1,16 patients (69 %) for Group 2,5 patients (72 %) for group 3,15 patients (75 %) for Group 4. Conclusions : Our data demonstrate that acupuncture is extremely effective for these disorders when the traditional principles of diagnosis and treatment are followed. The best results were achieved in patients under 25 years practicing regular physical activity and following the diet recommended.

Most female patients (18 cases) suffered a concomitant irregular mestruation; 5 women were hypertensive, with tachycardia and varicose veins; in 2 cases the excessive body weight occurred after surgical removal of a thyroid nodule. Out of the 6 male patients, 2 experienced an abnormal increase of body weight after stop smoking; 3 cases suffered from hypertension; in 1 case obesity was present from his child hood. The treatment carried out with Plum-blossom Needle therapy contemplated a common procedure for all cases, plus stimulating specific body areas and acupoints according to the TCM differentiation of syndromes. The auricular points mainly selected as the basic prescription were: Spleen, Stomach, Endocrine and Hunger; other auricular points were added on the basis of clinical symptoms. The ahieved results were the following: - clinically cured (body weight reduced within normal range, symptoms and signs disappeared): 8 cases. - markedly effective (body weight decreased by 5Kg, symptoms and signs markedly improved): 6 cases. - effective (body weight decrease by more than 2Kg, symptoms and signs improved): 10 cases.

The results indicated that patients with simple obesity had hypofunction of the sympathetic-adrenal system and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal system.

The clinical results in this series show that reduction of body fat is closely correlated vith acupuncture treatment (P<0.001), indicating that in this series acupuncture was effective in the treatment of simple obesity of common types (warm-Heat in the Stomach type, Exessive Heat in the Small Intestine type, Constipation due to Dryness in the Intestine type). This is because the authors selected and matched auricular and body points, used thick needles and adopted correct methods such as deep insertion, strong lifting and trusting, quick twisting and twirling as well as intermittent manipulation, all of which were aimed at obtaining a good needling sensation. The authors hold that acupuncture in the trident of obesity is safe, effective, has no side-effects but good long·term therapeutic effect, and is therefore worth recommending.

Small (2.0 x 0.15mm) auricular needles were applied intracutaneously into the bilateral cavum conchae vagally (Arnold n.) innervated region that was identified by having low resistance (27.1 -345.5komega/cm2) for six weeks. Body weight was measured four times a day, and was charted by the subjects themselves. Results showed that, in the period of without auricular stimulation, only body weight was measured and charted, 31.4%) of the subjects reduced their body weight. In the auricular acupuncture treated period, 19 out of 27 subjects (70.4%) decreased (p <0.01), 4 (14.8%) increased, and 4 (14.8%) had no change in their body weights. In conclusion, the results suggest that success in maintaining weight reduction can be attributed to graphic illustration of ones weight pattern. Bilateral auricular acupuncture stimulation can also reduced the body weight of healthy non-obese subjects. This is consistent with the suggestion that daily charting of body weight and auricular acupuncture might be effective in the treatment of obese patients. (Voir article complet en anglais réf.

The result shows that electroacupuncture obviously inhibits gastric hyperfunction caused by excitation of the LHA, for as long as over 3 hours, thus indicating the participation of the humoral factors. Since the electroacupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36) only inhibits gastric hyperfunction caused by excitation of the LHA, it is suggested that the electroacupuncture has an anticholinergic effect through the gastric beta receptor, therefore it inhibits the appetite, relieves hunger and reduces body weight in obese people.

SHIRAISHI T ET AL. brain research bulletin. 1995,36(2),141-8 (eng). ref:30 It is known that auriculotherapy occasionally affects dramatic body weight reduction for obese patients, although the physiological and anorexigenic functions are not clear. Effects of auricular stimulation on feeding-related lateral (LHA) and ventromedial (VMH) hypothalamic neuronal activity in normal and experimental (hypothalamic and dietary) obese rats were investigated. The LHA and/or VMH neuronal activity were recorded from feeding-related regions in Wistar SPF/VAF male and experimental (hypothalamic and dietary) obese rats, anesthetized with urethane-chloralose, under stereotaxic coordination. Recording was through 3 M KCI glass microelectrodes, while stimulating the ipsilateral vagal innervated region of the auricle. This is equivalent to the cavum conchae in the human, and was identified by resistance less than 10-50 k omega. The stimulating electrode was a stainless steel ear acupuncture (0. 12 x 2. 0 mm). The latency of potentials evoked in the LHA by unilateral stimulation of a specific site in the ear was 28. 1 ± 3. 3 ms (8-92, n = 41). LHA

neuronal activity was depressed 45. 6% (n = 12, p < 0. 01), and VMH activity was excited (60. 5%, n = 18, p < 0. 01). The auricular acupuncture stimulation clearly modulates feeding-related hypothalamic neuronal activity of experimental (both hypothalamic and dietary) obese rats. These auricle acupuncture stimulation effects were correlated to the degree of obesity. In conclusion, the results suggest that auricular acupuncture stimulation may not reduce appetite, but is more likely concerned with satiation formation and preservation. Thus, auricular acupuncture should be more effective on obese rats than on normal rats.

Subjects (n = 35) averaged 34. 5 years old, and BMI was 25. 3 kg/m2. Small (0. 15 x 2. 0 mm) auricular needles were applied intracutaneously into the bilateral cavum conchae that was identified by having less than 100 k omega resistance. Body weight was measured four times a day and charted by the subjects themselves. Results showed that, in the period 11-2, in which only body weight was measured, without auricular acupuncture stimulations, 57. 1% of the subjects reduced their body weight. This indicates that charting body weight themselves might be useful to maintain their weight. In the auricular acupuncture treated period, 19 (70. 4%) out of 27 decreased (p < 0. 01), 5 (18. 5%) was increased, and 3 (11. 1%) had no change in body weight.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hypothesis that anti-obesity action of bofu-tsusho-san (TJ-62) works via activating the brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and inhibiting the phosphodiesterase activity. DESIGN: MSG obese mice and lean controls were fed a diet including 1. 4% or 4. 7% TJ-62 of weight of food for 8 weeks. Another group of MSG obese mice were fed with 1-ephedrine (1-E) + d-pseudoephedrine (d-PE) of equivalent amounts as contained in TJ-62 (4. 7%) for 8 weeks. Yet another group of MSG obese mice were further supplemented with Glycyrrhizae Radix (GR) extract + Forsythiae Fructus (FF) extract + Schizonepetae Spica (SS) extract (that inhibited phosphodiesterase activity) of amounts contained in TJ-62 (4. 7%) for 8 weeks. MEASUREMENTS: The following were measured: The concentration of ephedrine and its congeners in TJ-62; the inhibitory effect of TJ-62 on phosphodiesterase activity; body weight; food intake; retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (RWAT) weight; interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) weight; mitochondrial protein content in IBAT; cytochrome c oxidase activity in IBAT; guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) binding in IBAT mitochondria. RESULTS: One gram of TJ-62 contained 3. 33 mg of 1-E and 0. 73 mg of d-PE. One mg of TJ-62 was equivalent to 2. 5 mg of caffeine in the inhibitory effect on phosphodiesterase activity. After feeding with TJ-62, GDP binding was significantly increased in a dose dependent manner. Body weight and RWAT weight decreased in both MSG obese mice and lean controls. Food intake was not changed by TJ-62. Feeding with 1-E + d-PE produced responses of about 70% of those of TJ-62. These responses were, furthermore, enhanced by the addition of the three extracts to the levels that were similar to those produced by TJ-62. CONCLUSION: Bofu-tsusho-san (TJ-62) works via activating the BAT thermogenesis and inhibiting the phosphodiesterase activity in mice.

Regular exercise was started for 305 patients (43.4%) of the 703 who had no such habit. There was no significant weight loss in 282 patients (35.2%). There was an initial (1 - 3 months) significant percentage of body weight loss (% B.W.L) in 518 patients (64.8%) and a percentage of body weight loss at 6 -12 months in 284 patients (35.5%). The percentage B.W.L was higher in groups B and C and remained higher at six months and one year after acupuncture treatment started.

HUANG MH ET AL. international journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders. 1996,20(9),830-6 (eng). ref:0 OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the effectiveness of triple therapy in treatment of simple obesity. SUBJECTS : Forty-five cases of simple obesity with a body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2 and percentage of body fat more than 25% in males, and 30% in females were collected. Subjects were composed of 8 males and 37 females ranging in age from 16 to 70 years old with a mean age of 33. 8 years. METHODS : The triple therapy for obesity included weekly auricular acupuncture, diet control and aerobic exercise counseling for eight weeks. The reduction in body weight and body fat were measured upon just completing the therapeutic course. The changes of body weight in follow-up at one month and one year later were also analyzed respectively. RESULTS : The results showed a 4. 4 ± 2. 9 kg

reduction in body weight and a 5. 6 ± 3. 0% reduction in body fat after completing the treatment course. Five cases had their body weight reduced to within the normal range, 18 cases showed a marked effect (body weight reduced by more than 5 kg and body fat reduced more than 5%), 16 cases were considered effective (body weight reduced by 2-5 kg and body fat reduced by 1-5%), and 6 cases were considered to be ineffective (body weight reduced by less than 2 kg and body fat reduced by less than 1%). The rate of effectiveness was 86. 7%. The rate of body weight rebound (weight regained more than 1. 5 kg) was 6. 7% and 18. 9% one month and one year later, respectively. The effectiveness of weight reduction was significant correlated with the compliance of participants with each therapeutic method, but not with age. No special side effects were noted during or after the treatment except for two cases who had intolerable pain when receiving auricular acupuncture. CONCLUSION : The triple therapy resulted in a satisfactory body weight reduction and a good maintenance of the target weight after treatment. Furthermore, more frequent aerobic exercise during the treatment course contributed greatly to body weight reduction and maintenance, as indicated by the correlation analysis.

subsequent profound mental disability and an intense hyperphagic syndrome complete with life-threatening pica. She was the single subject of two consecutive experiments. In the first, Naltrexone, an orally administered opiate blocker, was given to reduce hyperphagia and distress, but was associated with even greater urgency when eating meals and a manifest increase in distress. While distress reduced to premedication levels on withdrawal of treatment, urgency of eating did not reduce so quickly. In the second experiment a laser acupuncture procedure was used at 2. 5 Hz and 10 Hz for 10 days each with an intervening 10-day placebo condition to increase the availability of the subject's endogenous opiates, and thus hopefully produce opposite effects to the first experiment and effect a positive treatment. The 10 Hz condition produced a significant but transient reduction in pica measured by attempts at pica on a supervised walk shortly after each treatment. The subject was also easier to manage on walks, and appeared happier. Further studies using physical exercise or acupressure to achieve similar or better results are discussed.

None of these is without significant methodological flaws and their results are contradictory. The two relatively rigorous trials show no effect on body weight. On balance, no clear picture emerges to show that acupuncture / acupressure is effective in reducing appetite or body weight. Claims that these forms of treatment have specific effects on these conditions are therefore not based on well-performed clinical trials.

The prevalence of overweight among American adults increased by 5% between 1987 and 1993. Patients are more willing to accept alternative medicine solutions to this clinical challenge; especially the use of auriculomedicine in combination with a natural high-protein regimen which is drug-free. Method: I treated 21 patients for obesity who were either self-referred or referred by their primary physician. Many of the patients admitted to failing popular diets and never reaching their weight goal. The patients were evaluated to eliminate organic causes. Each patient underwent a history and physical examination. A high- protein diet was prescribed in combination with auriculomedicine. Results: All patients reached their weight goals losing an average of 12lbs. per month. There were no untoward reactions. Acceptability of the treatment was high. Patients reported that auriculomedicine helped significantly to prevent "bingeing". Conclusion: A high-protein animal regimen in combination with auriculomedicine was used successfully to lower weight in patients who had previously failed popular diets. The regimen was well-tolerated and a statistically significant decrease in triglycerides was observed.

The active group attached the AcuSlim to the acupuncture ear points shenmen and stomach, whereas the control group attached the device to their thumb where there are no acupuncture points. The goal of a 2 kg weight loss was set and changes in appetite and weight were reported after four weeks. RESULTS: Of those who responded, 95% of the active group noticed suppression of appetite, whereas none of the control group noticed such a change. None of the control group lost the required 2 kg, with only 4 subjects losing any weight at all. Both the number of subjects who lost weight and the mean weight loss were significantly higher in the active group (p < 0.05).

Obesity, as the term implies, is an abnormal accumulation of fat in the stores of adipose tissues throughout the Body. It is the most common nutritional disorder in infants, children, and adults in affluent societies, where it is responsible for more illhealth than all the vitamin deficiencaes put together. The main parameters for measuring obesity are weight and height of an individual. A suitable working rule for the treatment of obesity is that the weight of the patient should be brought down within 10% of the desirable weight for any given height.

FAILURE OF ACUPUNCTURE IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY: A PILOT STUDY. MAZZONI R ET AL. eat weight disord. 1999,4(4),198-202 (eng). ref: Pas en France. Acupuncture has been anecdotally reported to induce weight loss in obese patients. This pilot study examines its efficacy in a randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Forty (33 F, 7 M) obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2) outpatients were randomised to either placebo or acupuncture (12 weekly sessions of minimal acupuncture and somatic moxibustion-acupuncture associated with auriculopuncture respectively). BMI, eating attitudes (BES), anxiety (STAI), depression (BDI), and obesity-related quality of life (ORWELL 97) were measured at the beginning and end of the treatment. Six (30%) patients in the treatment group and 12 (60%) in the placebo group dropped out. Intention-to-treat analysis did not show any significant effect of acupuncture on BMI and obesity-related quality of life; eating attitudes improved in both groups, possibly because of the placebo effect. A significant improvement in anxiety and depression was only observed in the acupuncture group. In conclusion, acupuncture does not promote weight loss and is not recommendable in the treatment of obesity. It may, however, improve the psychological status of obese patients.

Although the total cholesterol (TC) lowered clinically, it was not statistically significant. From this previous group of patients, only 6 data points were available for the determination of TG, TC, heavy density lipids (HDL), and light density lipids (LDL). Because of the paucity of lipid data, a larger group consisting of 42 patients was evaluated under the same criteria, with the exception that the high- protein regimen underwent minor modifications to meet the minimum guidelines of the American Dietetic Association and the United States Recommended Dietary Allowances. METHODS Forty-two patients were treated for simple clinical obesity who were either self-referred or referred by their primary physician. The majority of these patients admitted to failing popular diets and never reached their weight goal, or were short-termed successful but eventually regained weight. Patients were evaluated to eliminate organic causes. Each patient underwent a history and physical examination. The previous high-protein diet was prescribed with minor modifications. Auriculomedicine was performed for each patient. RESULTS: The regimen was well tolerated and a statistically significant decrease in weight and TG was observed during the 1 2-week period starting at week 0. The TC decreased significantly only during the first 6 weeks starting at week 0. HDL levels decreased in the first weeks and started to rise in weeks 9 to 12. LDL appeared to decrease in the first 3 weeks and then, rose in weeks 6 to 12. TC, LDL, HDI value changes were not statistically significant long-term, but this could be due to a diminishing sample population. There were no unto ward reactions despite a minor change in the high-protein regimen. Acceptability for the diet remained high. Patients reported that auriculomedicine helped to prevent cravings for carbohydrate-rich foods. After

discharge from the program, 38.9% of the patients reported relapse. CONCLUSION A high-protein animal regimen in combination with auriculomedicine was employed successfully to produce a sustained weight lose in patients previously failing popular diets. All patients reached their weight goals losing an average of 1.6 Ibs per week. TG levels significantly decreased in a similar fashion, whereas TC and HDL dropped significant in the first 6 weeks and 3 weeks, respectively. LDL levels did not vary significantly. The possible homeostatic effect of auriculomedicine and a high protein regimen on serum lipids warrant further investigation.

The result showed the tryptophan (Try), serotonin (5-HT), 5- HT/5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) tyrosine (Tyr) of the raphe nuclei in obese rat were markedly lower than that in normal. While the contests of noradrenaline (NA) and dopamin (DA) were markedly high that in normal. There was a negative correlation between level of 5- HT in dorsal raphe nucleus and obese degree. After acupuncture treatment, the content of 5-HT of raphe nucleus in obese rat was markedly increased while those of DA was markedly reduced. It suggests that a good regulatory effect on the monoamines of raphe nucleus in the obese body play an important role in the antiobesity by acupuncture.

Methods: Central nerve push-pull perfusion and biochemical technique were used to observe the effect of acupuncture on obese rats, and the obese parameters and the change of monoamine transmitters and activity of ATPase in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) of the obese rats were investigated. Results: The levels of noradrenaline (NA) in LHA of obese rats were higher than those in the normal group, but the level of serotonin (5-HT) and the activity of ATPase in LHA of obese rats were lower than those of the normal rats. After acupuncture treatment, the weight of the obese rats reduced, while the level of NA in LHA reduced and the 5- HT and activity of ATPase increased (P < 0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: The effective regulation on LHA of obese rats is possibly one of the key factors in the anti-obesity of acupuncture.

Subjects (55 and 5, respectively) averaged 34.5 years old, and BMI was 24.3 and 27.5 kg/m2, respectively. Small (0. 15 x 2.0 mm) auricular needles were placed intracutaneously into the bilateral cavum conchae identified by having a less than 100 kQ/ cm2 resistance. In two-week pretreatment the period, in which body weight was measured without auricular acupuncture stimulation, 57.1% of the subjects showed a reduction in body weight. This indicates that charting one's own body weight might itself be a useful method of weight control. In the auricular acupuncture treatment period, 35 healthy subjects out of 55 (63.6 %) showed a decreased, 11, 20, an increase, and 9 (16.4" no

change in body weight. The obese patients showed individual variation, but all achieved weight reduction, with a highly significantly correlation between body weight and fat volume. The CT/MRI cross-sectional pictures supported these findings. In conclusion, the results suggest that success in achieving weight reduction can be partly attributed to the act of charting of one ' s own weight pattern. Bilateral auricular acupuncture stimulation can help reduce body weight both in mildly obese patients and in healthy non-obese subjects in accord with the idea that it may be useful in the treatment of the obesity. We propose a possible mechanism for the weight-reduction effects of bilateral auricular acupuncture stimulation.

Elle touche environ 3 % des femmes jeunes et est 4 fois plus fréquente que 1'anorexie mentale. La boulimie consiste en un besoin impulsif et violent de manger qui peut être indépendant de toute faim véritable et que la satiété ne calme pas. Après l'absorption rapide et sans plaisir d'une quantité parfois énorme de nourriture, les boulimiques tentent de l'éliminer en vomissant, en prenant des diurétiques voire des laxatifs, le plus souvent en cachette, dans la honte et la culpabilité. En Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise, la boulimie trouve son origine dans la perturbation de la loge Terre, mais surtout dans l'atteinte des entités viscérales, en particulier celle du Cœur : Le Shen. Le traitement va donc consister à rééquilibrer le couple Rate- Pancréas, Estomac ainsi qu'à régulariser l'intrication des troubles des âmes viscérales : Shen, Zhi, Po, Yi et Hun.

Methods: 118 simple obesity patients were divided into 4 groups according to, the age: 1) below 20 year old group, (n = 29), 2) 20 - 30 year old group (n = 32), 3) 31 - 40 year old group (n = 30), and 4) above 40 year old group (n = 27), and another 4 groups according to the duration of disease: a) below 1 year group (n = 21), b) 1 - 5 year group (n = 57), c) 6 - 10 year group (n = 30) and d) above 10 year group (n = 10). Indexes of body weight, body weight index and ratio of waistline and hipline were used to assess the therapeutic effect. Otopoints Ershenmen (MA-TF 1), Bianmi-point, Dachang (MA-SC 4), Xiaochang (MA-SC 2), Pi (NIA-IC), Wei (NIA-IC), Dan (EX-LE 6), etc were selected and stimulated by pressing the adhered vaccaria seeds and body acupoints used were Yinlingquan (SP 9), Sanyinjiao (SP 9), Zusanli (ST 36), Xuehai.

A marked therapeutic effect has been obtained in treating it by using acupuncture and moxibustion therapies. According to modern researches, its possible mechanisms include: 1) acu-moxi can suppress patients' overeating appetite, correspondingly, the hyperactivity of the absorbing function of the stomach and intestines is also restrained, reducing the intake of energy; and 2) acu-moxi can facilitate energy metabolism, increase energy consumption and promote lipodieresis, resulting in successive reduction of weight at last. The therapeutic effect of acu-moxi in weight reduction is realised by way of adjustment of neurons endocrine activities. In this paper, the writers review the mechanisms of acu-moxi-treatment of simple obesity on the basis of clinical researches and animal experiments and put forward some viewpoints on the study of acu-moxi treatment [9.08 / rg- ] 332- gera: 88183/di/ra TREATMENT OF 150 CASES OF SIMPLE OBESITY WITH BODY ACUPUNCTURE AND OTOPOINT PELLET-PRESSING THERAPY.

In this study, the author, in the light of chinese medical theory, provides a meaning and an unity to symptoms that seem independent, leading them to physioenergetic theory of organs, viscera and channels. Attention was drawn mainly, but not only, to anxiety and depression tyroubles which are commonly observed in clinical practice. In particular, a correlation between anxiety syndromes (acute, chronic and phobic-obsessive anxiety), depression syndromes (unipolar , bipolar, mania) and physioenergetic patterns of chinese medicine (liver-qi stasis, liver- and heart-fire, phlegma and so on) is supposed. In the conclusive part, a unitary pathogenetic interpretation of different clinical patterns is proposed.

Prospective, randomized controlled trial from February-April 2001. Patients and Setting Twentyobese female health care workers (22-42 years) were recruited in Phoenix, Arizona for the 8-week study; 10 of these women were randomized to receive ear acupuncture at the relevant points. All participants had a baseline body mass index higher than 27. Intervention Acupuncture treatment weekly for 8 weeks (15 minutes per session) with needling of the Shen Men, mouth, stomach, small intestine, and endocrine points. Patients also consumed a 2000-calorie/d diet and increased physical activity. Main Outcome Measures Change in weight from baseline to trial completion. in addition, change in appetite and compliance were documented. Results : Mean weight loss for patients in the acupuncture group was 9 lbs, while controls demonstrated a mean weight loss of 4 1bs. Compliant acupuncture participants had a mean weight loss of 10.3 1bs; compliant controls had a mean weight loss of 3 lbs. ANOVA (analysis of variance) repeated measures yielded a significant change in weight loss from baseline to trial completion (P=.003). There was also a 2-way interaction between weight loss and group (P=.03). Conclusion : These findings indicate that ear acupuncture at designated points, in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, can be effective in treating obesity.

Results : The body weight, body fat, the levels of serum leptin and insulin in the obese rats were all markedly higher than those in the normal rats, but the levels of hypothalamic leptin and insulin in obese rats were all lower than those of normal rats. After acupuncture treatment the marked weight losing effect was achieved while the levels of serum leptin and insulin obviously decreased, the levels of hypothalamic leptin and insulin obviously increased in obese rats. Conclusion : The abnormal transport of blood-brain barrier of leptin and insulin may be an important factor for the resistance of leptin and insulin in obese rats. The good regulation of acupuncture on levels of hypothalamic and serum leptin and insulin possibly is an important link in improving the resistance of leptin and insulin as well as regulation abnormal metabolism in obese organism. The effective regulation is possibly the key factors in the anti-obesity of acupuncture.

Methods: Thirty-six SD rats were evenly randomized into control, model and electroacupuncture (EA) groups. Obesity model was established by feeding the rats with high fat diet forage. "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Neiting" (SI 34) were punctured and then stimulated electrically by an EA therapeutic apparatus (10 Hz, 1. 5 V, 10 min), once daily, continuously for 14 days. The expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) gene in the hypothalamus tissue was determined with RT-PCR and Northern Blot techniques, and the contents of plasma and hypothalamic NPY were measured with radioimmunoassay. Changes of body weight, Lee's index and weight of fat tissue around the pericardium, kidney and epididymis were also observed before and after acupuncture. Results: Compared with control group, the body weight, Lee's index and body fat in model group increased markedly (P < 0.050.01) , and when compared with model group, these indexes of EA group lowered significantly (P < 0. 05), showing that EA could reduce body weight. Comparison among three groups displayed that NPY contents in the serum and hypothalamic tissue of the model group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0. 01) ; and those of EA group were considerably lower than those of model group (P < 0.01) . RT-PCR and Northern Blot analysis displayed that compared with control group, NYP mRNA expression of model group increased significantly (P < 0. 01), while after acupuncture treatment NYP mRNA expression was reduced significantly in comparison with that of model group (P<0.05-0.01). Conclusion: Acupuncture induced reduction of serum and hypothalamic NPY levels and suppression of NPY mRNA over-expression in the hypothalamus may be its important cellular and molecular mechanisms in resisting obesity.

We also studied the effects of single-blind sham treatment in approximately 500 age-, sex-, and BMI- matched subjects.

In the 2-week pretreatment the period, in which body weight was measured without auricular acupuncture stimulation, 57.1% of the subjects showed a reduction in body weight. This indicates that charting one's own body weight might itself be a useful method of weight control. In the auricular acupuncture

treatment period, 35 healthy subjects of 55 (63.6%) showed a decreased body weight, 11 (20%) showed an increased body weight, and 9 (16.4%) showed no change in body weight. The obese patients showed individual variation, but all achieved weight reduction, with a highly significant correlation between body weight and fat volume. The CT/MRI cross-sectional pictures supported these findings. Sham treatment had no statistically significant effect on body weight. These results suggest that success in achieving weight reduction can be partly attributed to the act of charting of one's own weight pattern. Bilateral auricular acupuncture stimulation can help reduce body weight both in mildly obese patients and in healthy non-obese subjects. In conclusion, this is in accord with the bilateral auricular acupuncture stimulation that it may be useful in the treatment of the obesity.

Each obese volunteer received transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) at 8 acupoints. The electrical parameters were: frequency at 2 Hz, with pulses width of 0.6 ms; intensity varied depending on individual's sensitivity to electrical stimulation to maintain a comfortable level. The treatment was administered 3 times per week. Body weight was recorded before each TENS treatment. RESULTS: The main value of body weight decreased gradually during the trial, with a net decrease of (2.06 +/- 0.31) kg at the end of 12 weeks' treatment (the first phase), corresponding to a decrease of (2.78 +/- 0.40)% as compared with the initial body weight (P < 0.01).

EFFECTS OF ACUPUNCTURE ON MONOAMINE NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN RAPHE NUCLEI IN OBESE RATS WEI QUNLI AND LIU ZHICHENG. journal of tcm. 2003,23(2),147 (eng). ref:21 [9.08 / eaa- rat- ] 448- gera: 117721/di/ra [EFFECT OF ACUPUNCTURE ON PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS OF OBESE RATS]. X. chinese archives of tcm. 2003,21(7),1059 (chi*). ref:21 Objective: It is to explore as concerns transmit messages factor and nervous mechanism of antiobesity by acupuncture. Methods: The changes of body weight, Lee's index, body fat, the levels of leptin and insulin(INS) in the serum, the levels of leptin, INS, neuropeptide Y(NPY) and a - melanocyte stimulating hormone (a - MSH) in hypothalamic tissue, and the frequency of spontaneous discharges of nerve cell in the Paraventricular nucleus(PVN) of obese rats were observed before and after acupuncture. Results; The body weight, Lee's index, body fat, the levels of leptin and INS in the serum, level of hypothalamic NPY and the frequency of spontaneous discharges of nerve cell in PVN were all markedly higher than those in the normal rats, but the levels of leptin, INS and a- MSH of hypothalamic tissue were all markedly lower than those of the normal rats. There are positive interrelation between the spontaneous discharges of nerve cell in PVN and obesity index, levels of serum leptin and INS as well as hypothalamic NPY. There are negative interrelation between the spontaneous discharges of nerve cell in PVN and levels of leptin, INS and a - MSH in hypothalamic tissue. Conclusion: The abnormal stimulated nerve function of PVN, the abnormal transport of blood - brain barrier of leptin and INS, the abnormal levels of leptin, INS and a - MSH in hypothalamic tissue may be an important reason for the obesity. The good regulation of acupuncture on the levels of central and peripheral Leptin and INS, and the levels of hypothalamic NPY and a - MSH as well as the nerve function of PVN possibly were an important mechanism in the antiobesity of acupuncture.

Methods Changes of obese rats before and after acupuncture were investigated by neuro-electrophysiological and biochemical techniques and compared with the control group. Results Levels of the body weight, Lee's index, body fat, fasting blood sugar (FBS), fasting insulin (FINS) and neuronal spontaneous discharges in the SON were all significantly higher than those in normal rats, while the insulin active index (IAI) was significantly lower. The frequency of neuronal spontaneous discharge in SON was positively correlated with obesity index, FBS and FINS, but was negatively correlated with IAI level. After acupuncture treatment obesity index, FBS, FINS and neuronal spontaneous discharges in SON in the obese rats were significantly lowered, while the IAI level significantly elevated. Conclusion The abnormal excitation of SON may be one of important factors for obesity, and beneficially regulative action of acupuncture on nervous function of SON in the obese organism is possibly one of central mechanisms of acupuncture slimming [9.08 / - ] 463- gera: 127938/di/ra OBSERVATION ON THERAPEUTIC EFFECT OF ELECTROACUPUNCTURE IN SIMPLE OBESITY.
