title: [Progress on the research of regulation effect of fibroblasts with acupuncture-moxibustion].
abstract: Twenty-one Chinese literatures and 10 English literatures are included through retrieval of the full text journal database and degree paper database of CNKI and PubMed (1979-2011) in this paper. And the result indicats that regulative effect can be produced on local fascia tissue, corresponding viscera or the form, proliferation of fibroblast and extracellular matrix related factor at acupoints of healthy or pathological rat-oriented animal model through needling, electroacupuncture, moxibustion and pressure. And it has gradually developed into a new tendency of research on acupuncture-moxibustion mechanism.
