Application of modified mucogingival surgery in the treatment of gingival recession / 口腔疾病防治

@#With the increasing demand for beauty, the treatment of gingival recession has become a common request among patients. Clinically, gingival recession is mainly treated by surgery. The common surgical methods include free gingival grafting, pedicled flap technology and double flap technology (subepithelial connective tissue transplantation combined with coronally advanced flaps). If patients with indications are selected, satisfactory surgical results will be obtained. However, there are still some shortcomings in the above mentioned methods, such as the root coverage effect not being satisfactory. In recent years, researchers have put forward some improved schemes to minimize the shortcomings of the above methods to treat different degrees of gingival recession. A gingival unit graft containing gingival papilla and free gingiva can improve the blood supply of the recipient area and improve the effect of root coverage. It can obtain better root coverage for slight retraction, widening of the angular gingiva and deepening of the vestibular sulcus, but there may be issues with inconsistent color and shape of the gingiva after surgery, as well as poor aesthetic effects. Modified coronally advanced flaps, flaps prepared by the technique of half-thickness, full-thickness and half-thickness, and modified coronally advanced envelope flap technology are designed with the most serious retraction teeth as the center in the case of multiple gingival retractions, both of which can improve the effect of root covering. Tunnel technology and modified tunnel technology, without severing the gingival papilla and tunneling the gingival flap to accommodate the graft, can effectively reduce tissue damage and promote wound healing. This paper reviews the literature and summarizes the outcome of the modified surgery techniques in the treatment of gingival recession. These treatment options for gingival recession are proposed with the aim of improving clinical work, and some suggestions for the treatment of gingival recession to achieve a stable root coverage effect are put forward. In the future, the development direction of mucogingival surgery is to reduce trauma and have a stable curative effect.

Effect of Guizhi Gegentang on Hemodynamics and Vascular Endothelial Function in Cervical Vertigo / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of Guizhi Gegentang on cervical vertigo and its impact on hemodynamics and vascular endothelial function. MethodA total of 144 patients with cervical vertigo treated from April 2019 to June 2022 were included in the study and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group， with 72 patients in each group. During the study， three patients dropped out from the observation group and two patients from the control group. The control group received conventional treatment （oral betahistine mesylate tablets）， while the observation group received conventional treatment combined with Guizhi Gegentang. The clinical efficacy， changes in the frequency and duration of dizziness attacks per month before and after treatment， changes in symptoms and functional evaluation scores of cervical vertigo assessed by the European Scale for Cervical Vertigo （ESCV）， changes in the average blood flow velocity of the left vertebral artery， right vertebral artery， and basilar artery， changes in indicators such as endothelin-1 （ET-1）， neuropeptide Y （NPY）， calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP）， changes in the Neck Disability Index （NDI） score， changes in the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General （FACT-G） score， and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups. ResultThe total effective rate in the observation group was 95.65% （66/69）， significantly higher than 84.29% （59/70） in the control group （χ2=4.957， P<0.05）. Before treatment， there were no significant differences in the frequency and duration of dizziness attacks per month， ESCV scores， average blood flow velocity of the left vertebral artery， right vertebral artery， and basilar artery， levels of ET-1， NPY， CGRP， NDI score， and FACT-G score between the two groups. After treatment， compared with the baseline within each group， there were improvements in the frequency and duration of dizziness attacks per month， ESCV scores， average blood flow velocity of the left vertebral artery， right vertebral artery， and basilar artery， levels of ET-1， NPY， CGRP， NDI score， and FACT-G score in both groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， the observation group showed better improvements in the frequency and duration of dizziness attacks per month， ESCV score， average blood flow velocity of the left vertebral artery， right vertebral artery， and basilar artery， levels of ET-1， NPY， CGRP， NDI score， and FACT-G score （P<0.05， P<0.01）. During the study period， one case of nausea occurred in the control group， and one case of dizziness occurred in the observation group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. ConclusionGuizhi Gegentang can improve the therapeutic effect of cervical vertigo， effectively improve patients' hemodynamics and vascular endothelial function， and enhance their quality of life with few adverse reactions. It is worth applying in clinical practice.

Effect of Sequence of Pulmonary Artery and Vein Transection in Thoracoscopic Lobectomy on Efficacy and Safety of Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Evaluation / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of sequence of pulmonary artery and vein transection in thoracoscopic lobectomy on the efficacy and safety of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methods PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM databases were searched for the researches on The post-operative efficacy of pulmonary arteriovenous and pulmonary vein resection sequence in thoracoscopic lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer. The retrieval time is from the database construction to May 2022. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results Eight articles were included, including 3 randomized controlled studies and 5 cohort studies, with a total of 1810 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that: The operative time (MD=13.34, 95%CI(7.36, 19.32), P < 0.0001) and intraoperative blood loss (MD=45.29, 95%CI(40.24, 50.35), P < 0.0001) in the group with priority pulmonary vein resection were significantly higher than those in the group with priority pulmonary vein resection. The difference was statistically significant. However, the benefits of OS (HR=1.34, 95%CI (1.12, 1.60), P=0.001) and DFS (HR=1.44, 95%CI(1.18, 1.76), P=0.0003) in the group of priority pulmonary vein transection were significantly better than those in the group of priority pulmonary artery transection, with statistically significant differences. Conclusion Priority pulmonary vein transection during thoracoscopic lobectomy effectively improved patients' OS and DFS, resulting in higher survival benefit for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, but intraoperative bleeding and operation time are more than those with priority pulmonary artery transection.

Analysis of curative effect and short-term survival rate of plasma exchange and double plasma molecular adsorption combined with half-volume plasma exchange in the treatment of liver failure / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective: To investigate how plasma exchange (PE) and double plasma molecular adsorption combined with half-volume plasma exchange (DPMAS + half-volume PE) affect the curative effect and short-term survival rate in liver failure. Methods: Data from 181 cases of liver failure caused by different etiologies from January 1, 2017 to September 31, 2020, were selected. Patients were divided into a PE treatment alone group and a DPMAS + half-dose PE treatment group. The laboratory indicators with different models of artificial liver before and after treatment and the survival rates of 7, 14, 28, and 90 days after discharge were observed in the two groups. Measurement data were analyzed by t-tests and rank sum tests. Categorical data were analyzed by χ (2) test. Results: Non-biological artificial liver therapy with different models improved the liver and coagulation function in the two groups of patients with liver failure (P < 0.05 in PTA% intra-group). The coagulation function was significantly improved in the PE treatment alone group compared with that in the DPMAS + half-dose PE group [PT after treatment: (20.15 ± 0.88) s in the PE treatment alone group, (23.43 ± 1.02) s, t = -2.44, P = 0.016 in the DPMAS+half-dose PE group; PTA: 44.72% ± 1.75% in the PE treatment alone group, 35.62% ± 2.25%, t = 3.215 P = 0.002 in the DPMAS + half-dose PE group]. Bilirubin levels were significantly decreased in the DPMAS+half-dose PE group compared to the PE treatment alone group [total bilirubin after treatment: (255.30 ± 15.64) μmol/L in the PE treatment alone group, (205.46 ± 9.03) μmol/L, t = 2.74, P = 0.07 in the DPMAS + half-dose PE group; direct bilirubin after treatment: (114.74 ± 7.11) μmol/L in the PE treatment alone group, (55.33 ± 3.18) μmol/L, t = 7.54, P < 0.001) in the DPMAS + half-dose PE group]. However, there was no significant effect on leukocytes and neutrophils after treatment with different models of artificial liver (P > 0.05) in the two groups, and platelets decreased after treatment, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (t = -0.15, P = 0.882). The inflammatory indexes of the two groups improved after treatment with different models of artificial liver (P < 0.05], and the 28 and 90 d survival rates were higher in the DPMAS+half-dose PE group than those of the PE treatment alone group (28 d: 60.3% vs. 75.0%, χ (2) = 4.315, P = 0.038; 90 d: 56.2% vs. 72.5%. χ (2) = 10.355 P < 0.001). DPMAS + half-dose PE group plasma saving was 1385 ml compared with PE treatment alone group (Z = -7.608, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Both DPMAS+half-dose PE and PE treatment alone have a certain curative effect on patients with liver failure. In DPMAS+half-dose PE, the 28-day survival rate is superior to PE treatment alone, and it saves plasma consumption and minimizes blood use in clinic.

Risk factors for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic noncurable resection of early colorectal cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective: Risk factors related to residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic non-curative resection of early colorectal cancer were analyzed to predict the risk of residual cancer or lymph node metastasis, optimize the indications of radical surgical surgery, and avoid excessive additional surgical operations. Methods: Clinical data of 81 patients who received endoscopic treatment for early colorectal cancer in the Department of Endoscopy, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2009 to 2019 and received additional radical surgical surgery after endoscopic resection with pathological indication of non-curative resection were collected to analyze the relationship between various factors and the risk of residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic resection. Results: Of the 81 patients, 17 (21.0%) were positive for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis, while 64 (79.0%) were negative. Among 17 patients with residual cancer or positive lymph node metastasis, 3 patients had only residual cancer (2 patients with positive vertical cutting edge). 11 patients had only lymph node metastasis, and 3 patients had both residual cancer and lymph node metastasis. Lesion location, poorly differentiated cancer, depth of submucosal invasion ≥2 000 μm, venous invasion were associated with residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that poorly differentiated cancer (OR=5.513, 95% CI: 1.423, 21.352, P=0.013) was an independent risk factor for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic non-curative resection of early colorectal cancer. Conclusions: For early colorectal cancer after endoscopic non-curable resection, residual cancer or lymph node metastasis is associated with poorly differentiated cancer, depth of submucosal invasion ≥2 000 μm, venous invasion and the lesions are located in the descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon and cecum with the postoperative mucosal pathology result. For early colorectal cancer, poorly differentiated cancer is an independent risk factor for residual cancer or lymph node metastasis after endoscopic non-curative resection, which is suggested that radical surgery should be added after endoscopic treatment.

Mitigation of cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity by casticin in male albino rats / Mitigação da nefrotoxicidade induzida pela cisplatina pela casticina em ratos albinos machos

Cisplatin (CP) is a commonly used, powerful antineoplastic drug, having numerous side effects. Casticin (CAS) is considered as a free radical scavenger and a potent antioxidant. The present research was planned to assess the curative potential of CAS on CP persuaded renal injury in male albino rats. Twenty four male albino rats were distributed into four equal groups. Group-1 was considered as a control group. Animals of Group-2 were injected with 5mg/kg of CP intraperitoneally. Group-3 was co-treated with CAS (50mg/kg) orally and injection of CP (5mg/kg). Group-4 was treated with CAS (50mg/kg) orally throughout the experiment. CP administration substantially reduced the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GSR), glutathione (GSH) content while increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels. Urea, urinary creatinine, urobilinogen, urinary proteins, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels were substantially increased. In contrast, albumin and creatinine clearance was significantly reduced in CP treated group. The results demonstrated that CP significantly increased the inflammation indicators including nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity and histopathological damages. However, the administration of CAS displayed a palliative effect against CP-generated renal toxicity and recovered all parameters by bringing them to a normal level. These results revealed that the CAS is an effective compound having the curative potential to counter the CP-induced renal damage.

A cisplatina (CP) é uma droga antineoplásica poderosa, comumente usada, com vários efeitos colaterais. Casticin (CAS) é considerado um eliminador de radicais livres e um potente antioxidante. A presente pesquisa foi planejada para avaliar o potencial curativo da CAS em lesão renal induzida por PC em ratos albinos machos. Vinte e quatro ratos albinos machos foram distribuídos em quatro grupos iguais. O Grupo 1 foi considerado grupo controle. Os animais do Grupo 2 foram injetados com 5 mg / kg de PB por via intraperitoneal. O Grupo 3 foi cotratado com CAS (50 mg / kg) por via oral e injeção de CP (5 mg / kg). O Grupo 4 foi tratado com CAS (50 mg / kg) por via oral durante todo o experimento. A administração de CP reduziu substancialmente as atividades de catalase (CAT), superóxido dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), glutationa S-transferase (GST), glutationa redutase (GSR), glutationa (GSH), enquanto aumentou as substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS) e níveis de peróxido de hidrogênio (H2O2). Os níveis de ureia, creatinina urinária, urobilinogênio, proteínas urinárias, molécula 1 de lesão renal (KIM-1) e lipocalina associada à gelatinase de neutrófilos (NGAL) aumentaram substancialmente. Em contraste, a albumina e a depuração da creatinina foram significativamente reduzidas no grupo tratado com PC. Os resultados demonstraram que a CP aumentou significativamente os indicadores de inflamação, incluindo fator nuclear kappa-B (NF-κB), fator de necrose tumoral-α (TNF-α), interleucina-1β (IL-1β), interleucina-6 (IL-6) níveis e atividade da ciclooxigenase-2 (COX-2) e danos histopatológicos. No entanto, a administração de CAS apresentou um efeito paliativo contra a toxicidade renal gerada por CP e recuperou todos os parâmetros, trazendo-os a um nível normal. Estes resultados revelaram que o CAS é um composto eficaz com potencial curativo para combater o dano renal induzido por CP.

Comparison of the effect between night-wearing orthokeratology lens and frame glasses on the treatment of juvenile myopia / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

AIM: To compare the effects of night-wearing orthokeratology lenses and frame glasses on the treatment of juvenile myopia, and provide reference for the selection of myopia treatment methods in adolescents.METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on 106 adolescent myopia patients who received treatment in our hospital from June to November 2020. According to the wishes of patients, they were divided into two groups with 53 cases in each group. The control group was given regular frame glasses after optometry, while the observation group was given night-wearing orthokeratology lenses. The uncorrected visual acuity(LogMAR), refractive index(spherical equivalent and cylindrical lens power), and ocular biological parameters(axial length, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness)were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The uncorrected visual acuity(LogMAR)of the observation group was lower than that of the control group at 1a after treatment(0.51±0.12 vs. 0.73±0.15), and the spherical equivalent(-0.23±0.05 vs. -5.32±1.35D)and cylindrical lens power(-1.53±0.22 vs. -1.97±0.35DC)were smaller than those of the control group(P&#x0026;#x003C;0.001). The axial length of the eyes in the two groups increased at 1a after treatment and the axial length in the control group was longer(25.53±0.84 vs. 25.95±0.83 mm); the lens thickness of the observation group was increased compared with that before treatment(3.39±0.19 vs. 3.31±0.15 mm; P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05). After 1a treatment, the accommodative amplitude(14.29±1.37 vs. 12.90±1.07D), accommodative facility(11.05±2.09 vs. 7.59±1.82cpm), and total staining rate of corneal epithelium in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(15.1% vs. 1.9%), and the accommodative lag was lower than that in the control group(0.55±0.11 vs. 0.97±0.30D; P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05). There were no significant differences in corneal cell density(3197.23±249.66 vs. 3207.41±258.14 cells/mm2), corneal endothelial cell area(309.27±28.04 vs. 312.62±24.95mm2)and the incidence of complications between the two groups before and after treatment(5.7% vs. 9.4%; P&#x0026;#x003E;0.05).CONCLUSION: Night-wearing orthokeratology lenses can improve uncorrected visual acuity in adolescent patients with myopia, reduce the spherical equivalent and cylindrical lens power, and improve the accommodation-related parameters, but has no significant effect on the corneal function.

AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)combined with inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique in the treatment of macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD)in high myopia.METHODS: A retrospective clinical study was conducted. A total of 63 patients(64 eyes)with high myopia and MHRD who treated at our hospital from October 2017 to October 2021 were selected as research subjects. They were divided into two groups according to different surgery, with 34 cases(35 eyes)who received PPV combined with inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique in group A, and 29 cases(29 eyes)received PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling in group B. The patients were followed up for 6mo. The two groups were compared in terms of the hole closure rate, the reduction rate of retinal detachment and best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)before operation and at 1wk, 1, 3 and 6mo after operation, and the postoperative complications were recorded.RESULTS: The hole closure rate within 6mo after operation was significantly higher in group A than in group B(P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the reduction rate of retinal detachment(P&#x0026;#x003E;0.05). The BCVA of the two groups was significantly improved over time after operation(P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in BCVA between the two groups before operation and at 1wk, 1, 3 and 6mo after operation(P&#x0026;#x003E;0.05). Complications were observed in the two groups, but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P&#x0026;#x003C;0.05).CONCLUSION: PPV combined with inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique is safe and effective in the treatment of MHRD in high myopia, which can effectively improve the patients' BCVA and the hole closure rate without influence on intraocular pressure.

Analysis of clinical efficacy and risk factors of relapse in young patients with cervical instability treated by manipulation / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To determine the clinical efficacy of different manipulation in the treatment of cervical instability in young people, and to analyze the risk factors of relapse of cervical instability in young people.@*METHODS@#From March 2021 to June 2022, the clinical data of 120 young patients with cervical instability were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different treatment methods, they were divided into rotation group (60 cases, 3 cases of loss) and tendon group (60 cases, 5 cases of loss). There were 25 males and 32 females in rotation-traction manipulation group;age ranged from 22 to 44 years old with a median of 28 years old;course of disease ranged from 0.17 to 120 months with amedian of 22 months. There were 22 males and 33 females in tendon-regulating manipulation group;age ranged from 21 to 42 years old with a median of 27 years old;course of disease ranged from 0.23 to 180 months with a median of 24 months. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks, once every other day for 7 times, and were followed up for 1 year. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated, and the visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI) were observed before and after treatment. One year after the course of treatment, patients with effective treatment were followed up to make statistics on recurrence. Patients with recurrence were included in the recurrence group, while those without recurrence were included in the non-recurrence group. Factors that may affect symptom recurrence were analyzed, and univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed.@*RESULTS@#The 13 patients who failed the treatment (4 cases in the rotation-traction manipulation group and 9 cases in the tendon-regulating manipulation group) were not followed up. All the 99 patients who were effective in treatment were followed up ranged from 303 to 406 days with a median of 359 days. No complications occurred in all patients. There were significant differences in VAS and NDI between the two groups after treatment and before treatment (P<0.05), and there were significant differences in VAS and NDI between the two groups after treatment (P<0.05). Ninety-nine patients achieved follow-up, 56 (56.57%) relapsed and 43 (43.43%) did not. Univariate correlation analysis showed that NDI index, the time spent at the desk every day, the time spent using electronic products every day and angular displacement of anterior flexion before treatment in the relapse group were significantly higher than those in the non-relapse group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the time spent at the desk every day [OR=2.447, 95%CI(1.255, 4.771)], the time spent using electronic products every day [OR=1.892, 95%CI(1.066, 3.358)] and the angular displacement of anterior flexion of the cervical before treatment [OR=1.246, 95%CI(1.045, 1.485) ]were the risk factors for relapse.@*CONCLUSION@#Both rotation-traction manipulation and tendon-regulating manipulation can effectively treat cervical instability in young people, and rotation-traction manipulation has more advantages than tendon-regulating manipulation in improving cervical pain and cervical dysfunction in patients. The time spent at the desk every day, the time spent using electronic products every day, and the increase of cervical flexion angle displacement will increase the risk of relapse in patients.

Network Meta-analysis of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicine in treatment of stable angina pectoris / 中国中药杂志

This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of different Chinese medicine injections combined with conventional western medicine for stable angina pectoris. PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed were searched to collect randomized controlled trial(RCT) of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventio-nal western medicine in the treatment of stable angina pectoris from the inception of the databases to July 8, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies. Stata 15.1 was used for network Meta-analysis. A total of 52 RCTs were included, involving 4 828 patients treated by 9 Chinese medicine injections(Danhong Injection, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenol Hydrochloride Injection, Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection, Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection, Puerarin Injection, Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection, Shenmai Injection and Xuesaitong Injection). The network Meta-analysis showed that:(1)in terms of improving the efficacy of angina pectoris, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve(SUCRA) followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Danhong Injection>Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenol Hydrochloride Injection>Xuesaitong Injection>Shenmai Injection>Puerarin Injection>Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection;(2)in terms of improving the efficacy of electrocardiogram(ECG), SUCRA followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Salvia Miltiorrhiza Ligustrazine Injection>Puerarin Injection>Danhong Injection>Salvia Miltiorrhiza Polyphenol Hydrochloride Injection>Shenmai Injection>Xuesaitong Injection>Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection;(3)in terms of increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), SUCRA followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Danhong Injection>Shenmai Injection>Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Xuesaitong Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection;(4)in terms of lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), SUCRA followed the order of conventional western medicine combined with Safflower Yellow Pigment Injection>Danhong Injection>Shenmai Injection>Tanshinone Sodium Ⅱ_A Sulfonate Injection>Dazhu Hongjingtian Injection>Xuesaitong Injection;(5)in terms of safety, the overall adverse reactions of Chinese medicine injection combined with conventional western medicine were less than those of the control group.

@#Objective    To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of jejunostomy tube versus nasojejunal tube for enteral nutrition after radical resection of esophageal cancer. Methods    PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM databases were searched to collect the clinical effects of jejunostomy tube versus nasojejunal nutrition tube after radical resection of esophageal cancer from inception to October 2021. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results    Twenty-six articles were included, including 17 randomized controlled studies and 9 cohort studies, with a total of 35 808 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that: in the jejunostomy tube group, the postoperative exhaust time (MD=–4.27, 95%CI –5.87 to –2.66, P=0.001), the incidence of pulmonary infection (OR=1.39, 95%CI 1.06 to 1.82, P=0.02), incidence of tube removal (OR=0.11, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.30, P=0.001), incidence of tube blockage (OR=0.47, 95%CI 0.23 to 0.97, P=0.04), incidence of nasopharyngeal discomfort (OR=0.04, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.13, P=0.001), the incidence of nasopharyngeal mucosal damage (OR=0.13, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.42, P=0.008), the incidence of nausea and vomiting (OR=0.20, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.47, P=0.003) were significantly shorter or lower than those of the nasojejunal tube group. The postoperative serum albumin level (MD=5.75, 95%CI 5.34 to 6.16, P=0.001) was significantly better than that of the nasojejunal tube group. However, the intraoperative operation time of the jejunostomy tube group (MD=13.65, 95%CI 2.32 to 24.98, P=0.02) and the indent time of the postoperative nutrition tube (MD=17.81, 95%CI 12.71 to 22.91, P=0.001) were longer than those of the nasojejunal nutrition tube. At the same time, the incidence of postoperative intestinal obstruction (OR=6.08, 95%CI 2.55 to 14.50, P=0.001) was significantly higher than that of the nasojejunal tube group. There were no statistical differences in the length of postoperative hospital stay or the occurrence of anastomotic fistula between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion    In the process of enteral nutrition after radical resection of esophageal cancer, jejunostomy tube has better clinical treatment effect and is more comfortable during catheterization, but the incidence of intestinal obstruction is higher than that of traditional nasojejunal tube.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of iGlarLixi in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, providing evidence-based support for rational clinical medication.Methods:A systematic review was conducted by retrieving articles from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Sinomed, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases to collect randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of iGlarLixi(intervention group) with placebo or other anti-hyperglycemic drugs(control group) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The search was conducted from the inception of the databases up to August 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results:A total of 11 studies with 6 392 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that in terms of efficacy, compared to insulin and GLP-1RAs, iGlarLixi demonstrated better reduction in patients′ HbA 1C levels(Insulin group WMD=-0.40, 95% CI -0.54--0.27, P<0.001; GLP-1RAs group WMD=-0.86, 95% CI -1.05--0.68, P<0.001), increased HbA 1C target rate(Insulin group OR=2.83, 95% CI 2.00-3.99, P<0.001; GLP-1RAs group OR=6.45, 95% CI 4.81-8.64, P<0.001), increased HbA 1C control rate without weight gain(Insulin group OR=3.00, 95% CI 2.43-3.71, P<0.001; GLP-1RAs group OR=2.67, 95% CI 1.76-4.06, P<0.001). Furthermore, iGlarLixi showed an advantage in weight reduction compared to the insulin group and demonstrated superior reduction in fasting plasma glucose compared to the GLP-1RAs group. In terms of safety, the incidence of hypoglycemic events in the iGlarLixi group was similar to that in the insulin group, but the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events was higher than that in the insulin group. There was no difference in the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events compared with GLP-1RAs, but the incidence of hypoglycemic events was higher in the iGlarLixi group. The incidence of serious adverse events was similar to that in the insulin and GLP-1RAs groups(Insulin group OR=0.94, 95% CI 0.71-1.23, P=0.640; GLP-1RAs group OR=0.97, 95% CI 0.61-1.52, P=0.880). Conclusion:iGlarLixi is superior to insulin but inferior to GLP-1RAs in reducing body weight, and the overall incidence of adverse events is not significantly different from that of insulin and GLP-1RAs, indicating that iGlarLixi is well tolerated and safe, and has a good clinical application prospect.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of five-element music therapy in the treatment of bipolar disorder.Methods:Eighty patients with bipolar disorder admitted to Shandong Mental Health Center from January 2018 to December 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a study group and a control group ( n = 40/group). The control group was treated with conventional drug treatment. The study group was treated with five-element music therapy based on conventional drug treatment. Before, during and after treatment, mania and depression were evaluated. Symptom self-evaluation scale and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire were completed to evaluate the curative effect. Patients were followed up by telephone call. Recurrence at 3, 6 and 12 months was recorded. Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the scores of the Bech-Rafaelsen Mania Rating Scale (BRMs), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD), Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) between the two groups (all P > 0.05). During and after treatment, BRMs, HAMD, Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire, and SCL-90 scores were significantly decreased in each group compared with before treatment [Control group: BRMs score during and after treatment: (11.52 ± 1.57) points, (9.43 ± 1.05) points; HAMD score during and after treatment: (16.75 ± 3.05) points, (13.61 ± 2.51) points; Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire: emotional vocabulary (67.25 ± 5.7) points, (56.38 ± 4.97) points, physical symptoms (29.52 ± 3.94) points, (24.19 ± 3.05) points, SCL-90 score: (100.52 ± 10.26) points, (68.85 ± 7.33) points. Study group: BRMs score during and after treatment: (9.33 ± 1.09) points, (7.85 ± 0.82) points; HAMD score: (13.74 ± 2.54) points, (10.17 ± 1.97) points; Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire: emotional vocabulary: (58.19 ± 5.06) points, (46.85 ± 4.06) points, physical symptoms (25.14 ± 3.54) points, (20.11 ± 2.57) points; SCL-90 scores: (90.85 ± 8.97) points, (56.87 ± 5.81) points]. During and after treatment, scores of BRMs, HAMD, Traditional Chinese Medicine Five State Emotion Questionnaire and SCL-90 in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 3.77, 7.01, 4.48, 6.99, 8.78, 4.89, 6.05, 4.19, 7.57, all P < 0.05). Total response rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (90.0% vs. 72.5%, χ2 = 4.02, P < 0.05). At 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, recurrence rate in the study group was 2.5%, 15.0% and 30.0%, respectively, which were significantly lower than 17.5%, 35.0%, and 52.5% in the control group ( χ2 = 5.00, 4.26, 4.17, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Five-element music therapy for the treatment of bipolar disorder can markedly alleviate depression and mania, restore patient's emotional state, improve clinical efficacy, and decrease recurrence rate.
