Objective： To analyze moxibustion reports published in the journals of Science Citation Index （SCI）, so as to grasp the current publication development of researches on moxibustion and to provide submission reference to such studies in the future. Methods： Moxibustion reports were searched on PubMed and ISI web of knowledge, and 2 reviewers extracted data independently for analysis. Studies qualified were analyzed from eight aspects： publishing amount, research type, source journal, impact factor （IF）, source country, source academy, indication and effect evaluation, comparison of studies between China and other countries. Results and Conclusion： Fifty-three associated reports published in journals of SC1 were selected. The publishing amount of moxibustion reports increased year by year, and majority of these reports were clinical researches and system reviews. IFs of most journals were less than 5. Diseases involved were various; however, the curative effect of moxibustion was still uncertain worldwide. The mechanism of moxibustion was not fully described, either. Further high-quality and convictive researches were still needed to define the curative effect of moxibustion and to increase the SCI publishing amounts.
目的:检索总结分析SCI源期刊2009年所收录针刺论文的杂志及文章,以了解2009年针灸研究的国际动态。方法:通过SCI源数据库,以"Acupuncture、moxibustion、cupping"为检索词共检索出379篇论文,排除与研究无关的52篇,剩余327篇。对论文的来源分布、期刊出处、类型、研究内容、研究方法等做分析总结。结果:文章来源集中在中、美、韩、英等国;影响因子最高的杂志为CA-A CANCER JOURNAL FOR CLI-NICIANS,影响因子为74.575;涉及的病种广泛,但主要是用于神经及运动系统疾病的治疗。结论:在国外,针灸仍作为补充和替代医学的一部分,但其应用范围十分广泛,研究结果也存在较大差异,有关针刺研究诸多方面的规范化迫在眉睫。
