RESUMEN
Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f.(TwHF) is one of the most effective traditional Chinese herbal medicines against rheumatoid arthritis. As the representative agents of TwHF, Tripterygium Glycoside Tablets(TGT) and Tripterygium wilfordii Tablets(TWT) were included as Class A drugs in the 2019 edition of Medicine Catalogue for National Basic Medical Insurance, Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance, and TGT was also included in 2018 edition of National Essential Drug List and 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. However, it is difficult to grasp the specific clinical applications of TGT and TWT. Side effects occur from time to time. The curative effect is uneven in patients. And the package inserts of TGT and TWT are not described in details. In order to standardize the clinical application of Tripterygium wilfordii preparations, 38 authoritative units and 48 well-known experts in rheumatoid immunology clinical department, drug supervision and management, pharmacy and evidence-based medicine research fields jointly developed Tripterygium Glycoside Tablets and Tripterygium wilfordii Tablets Medication Guide for reference in clinical application, teaching and scientific research. The guideline followed the "evidence-based, consensus-assisted and experience-based" principles to form "recommendations" for the evidence supported ones, and form "consensus suggestions" for those without evidence support by using nominal group method. In this way, the medication recommendations on function, usage and dosage, drug combinations, precautions, efficacy, safety and other aspects of TGT and TWT can be provided. The application of this Guide will help to avoid or reduce the adverse reactions of T. wilfordii preparations, enhance the efficacy and reduce the cost of medicine, with certain demonstration and promotion values to improve the rational use level of traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate how the "special effect"/ "coeffect"/"synergistic effect" can achieve a positive result using an "acupuncture prescription" for functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) in clinical practice, based on the characteristics of single/compatible acupoints and acupuncture techniques. METHODS: According to the search strategy, we searched six electronic bibliographic databases and provided a summary for this overview. RESULTS: A large body of evidence has shown that acupuncture has positive effects in the treatment of FGIDs. However, the "prescription" intervention involved different single acupoints, compatible acupoints and acupoints based on expert consensus. CONCLUSIONS: The core acupoints, including Tianshu (ST25), Zusanli (ST36), and Shangjuxu (ST37), emphasize the application of special acupoints, meridian points and nerve segments, and the two-way regulatory effect found in this study is often used as the basis of acupoint selection and acupoint prescription for acupuncture treatment of FGIDs.
