AB  - OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of moxibustion combined with autohemotherapy of 
      acupoint injection and simple moxibustion for allergic rhinitis(AR) with qi 
      deficiency of lung and spleen and to explore its mechanism. METHODS: By random 
      number table,75 patients who matched the criteria were assigned into a 
      moxibustion combined with autohemotherapy of acupoint injection group(a 
      combination group,37 cases) and a moxibustion group(38 cases). In the combination 
      group,moxibustion was used at bilateral Yingxiang(LI 20) and injection bila-teral 
      Feishu(BL 13),Pishu(BL 20) and Zusanli(ST 36). In the moxibustion 
      group,moxibustion was applied bilaterally at all the above acupoints. Acupoint 
      injection was given twice a week,and moxibustion once a day,seven days as a 
      course. The patients were observed for four courses and followed up half a year 
      after treatment. Rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ) was 
      compared before and after treatment and at follow-up. The short-term and 
      long-term effects as well as the changes of 
      interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma),interleukin-4(IL-4) and immunoglobulin E(IgE) were observed 
      in the two group. RESULTS: After treatment,the obviously effective rate of the 
      combination group was 75.68%(28/37),which was higher than 52.63%(20/38) of the 
      moxibustion group(P<0.05). But at follow-up, the obviously effective rate of the 
      moxibustion group was 47.37%(18/38),which was better than 24.32%(9/37) of the 
      combination group(P<0.05). Life quality of the two group in all aspects after 
      treatment and at follow-up were apparently improved compared with the 
      baseline(P<0.01,P<0.05). After treatment,the life quality,sleep condition,non 
      nasal-eye symptoms,behavior issue of the combination group were superior to those 
      of the moxibustion group(all P<0.05),and at follow-up,the above outcomes,the eye 
      and nasal symptoms as well as emotional response of the mo-xibustion group were 
      better(all P<0.05). There was statistical significance in the two group about 
      serum IFN-gamma,IgE,IL-4 before and after treatment(P<0.01,P<0.05),and significance 
      existed between the two groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Moxibustion combined with 
      autohemotherapy of acupoint injection can effectively improve the short-term 
      quality of life of AR with qi deficiency of lung and spleen. The mechanism may be 
      related to balancing the immune response of Th1 and Th2.
