Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a diagnostic method which is non-invasive and non-ionizing irradiative to the
human body. It not only suits structural, but also functional imaging. The NMR technique develops rapidly in its
application in life science, which has become the hotspot in recent years. Menopausal panic disorder (MPD) is a typical
psychosomatic disease during climacteric period, which may affect physical and mental health. Looking for a convenient,
effective, and safe method, which is free of toxic-side effects to control the disease, is a modern medical issue. Based on
reviewing the etiology and pathogenesis of MPD according to dual traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western
medicine, further analyzed the advantages and principles for selecting acupoint prescription by tonifying kidney and
benefiting marrow therapy for acupoint catgut-embedding to this disease. The application of Nuclear Magnetic
Resonance Spectroscopy (NMRS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies in mechanism research on
acupoint catgut embedding for the treatment of MPD was discussed. It's pointed out that this intervention method is safe
and effective to treat MPD. Breakthrough will be achieved from the research of the selection of acupoint prescription
and therapeutic mechanism of acupoint catgut embedding for the treatment of menopausal panic disorder by utilizing the
Functional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Metabonomics technologies.
By analyzing the relationship between nanotechnology and medical science, especially nanotechnology and
acupuncture and moxibustion science, the application of nanotechnological methods for the mechanism research on
acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of women climacteric syndrome was discussed. It is indicated that
nanotechnology is one of the fastest developmental, the most potential and the far-reaching high and new technologies in
current world, and it greatly promotes the development of medical science and acupuncture and moxibustion science.
Nanotechnology will make the development of acupuncture& moxibustion science possess a unprecedented field. It's
pointed out that breakthrough will be achieved from the research of the application of nanotechnology on mechanism
research on acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of women climacteric syndrome.
