“…[11–13] Acupoint injection therapy can not only exert the function of acupoints, but also exert the pharmacologic function of western medicine; it is a double stimulation with acupuncture and medicine liquid pairs in acupoints. [4,5,35,36] It is difficult for children to adopt acupuncture therapy, and it is also inconvenient for therapist to operate; however, because of the application of acupoint injection, we can achieve the same purpose as acupuncture, which is easy for parents and kids to accept. Therefore, acupoint injection is especially suitable for children.…”

“…Acupoint injection involves the injection of medicine into specific acupuncture points to treat diseases or conditions, it is a synergetic effect of acupuncture and medication. [5,6] Acupoint injection also is a very successful treatment method combining traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine. Clinical and experimental research shows that acupoint injection has the characteristics of low dosage and quick effect, and it is possible to magnify the pharmacologic effects of drugs by geometric order of magnitude, [7,8] but the mechanism of the effect is still unclear.…”

Background: Acute diarrhea is the 2nd highest prevalence disease among children under 5 years of age. It can cause malnutrition and even death in children, especially in developing country. Traditional Chinese medicine therapy has been applied and already in the guidelines for clinical practice of acute infectious diarrhea in children in China, but there is no specific methods or recommendations due to lacking of evidence. Zusanli acupoint injection as a form of acupuncture therapy, which is proved to be effective in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and very suitable for children, has been used in acute diarrhea in children for a long time; therefore, a systematic review is necessary to provide available evidence for further study. Methods: Different studies from various databases will be involved in this study. Only RCTs of children under 5 years of age diagnosed with acute diarrhea using any recognized diagnostic criteria will be included. We will search manually the literature in the databases from China Conference Paper Database. Electronic database includes PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Internet, WanFang, Chongqing VIP, and China Biomedical Literature CDROM Database. Primary outcomes: clinical cure rate (clinical cure is defined as the frequency, timing and character of stool back to normal status, as well as disappearance of diarrhea symptoms), diarrhea duration (from admission to the cessation of diarrhea). Secondary outcomes: stool frequency within 24 hours, rate of adverse effect. Data will be extracted by 2 researchers independently; risk of bias of the meta-analysis will be evaluated based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. All data analysis will be conducted by data statistics software Review Manager V.5.3. and Stata V.12.0. Results: This study will synthesize and provide evidence based on the data of the currently published zusanli (ST36) acupoint injection for acute diarrhea in children under 5 years old, especially in terms of clinical efficacy and safety. Conclusion: This systematic review aims to evaluate the benefits and harms of zusanli acupoint injection for acute diarrhea in children under 5 years old reported in RCTs, and provide evidence reference in TCM field for Chinese guidelines on the treatment of acute diarrhea in children. Ethics and dissemination: This study is a systematic review; the outcomes are based on the published evidence, and hence examination and agreement by the ethics committee are not required in this study. We intend to publish the study results in a journal or conference presentations. PROSPERO registration number: PROSPERO 2019 CRD42019135275.

Background: To investigate the efficacy and safety of acupoint injection of Bacillus Calmette–Guerin polysaccharide nucleic acid (BCG-PSN) in the treatment of chronic urticaria (CU). Methods: The following databases will be searched from their inception: Medline, Embase, Pubmed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, China Science Journal Database, and Wanfang Database. All databases will be searched from the date of creation until October 2019. In addition, we will manually search the list of medical journals as a supplement. The scope of the search included randomized controlled clinical studies related to acupoint injection of BCG-PSN for CU. The primary outcome is the disease activity control. Secondary outcomes include response rate, adverse events, and recurrence rates. The Cochrane RevMan V5.3 Deviation Assessment Tool will be used to assess bias assessment risk, data integration risk, meta-analysis risk, and subgroup analysis risk (if conditions are met). The average difference, standard mean difference and binary data will be used to represent continuous results. Results: This study will comprehensively review the existing evidence on the treatment of CU by acupoint injection of BCG-PSN. Conclusion: This systematic review will provide a judgment basis for the effectiveness and safety of acupoint injection of BCG-PSN in the treatment of CU. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO, CRD42019139885.
