Résumé
BACKGROUND: Acupuncture has different forms as a kind of therapy, mainly warm acupuncture, fire needle and electroacupuncture, but the balance of effectiveness and safety between these measures remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of warm acupuncture, fire needle and electroacupuncture in the intervention of knee osteoarthritis by network meta-analysis. METHODS: The Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBMdisc databases were searched for the clinical randomized controlled trials of warm acupuncture, fire needle and electroacupuncture in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis published before September 20, 2019. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 were used for data analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 2 871 patients with knee osteoarthritis were included in 34 randomized controlled trials. The results of meta-analysis showed that (1) the total clinical effective rate in the fire needle group (OR=1.08, 95%CI: 1.00-1.17, P < 0.05) and warm acupuncture group (OR=1.08, 95%CI: 1.02-1.14, P < 0.05) was better than that in the electroacupuncture, and the total effective rate of the three acupuncture treatments was better than that of western medicine, especially fire needle. (2) In the aspect of improving the Visual Analogue Scale scores, the fire needle (MD=-2.12, 95%CI: -3.52 to -0.71, P < 0.05), warm acupuncture (MD=-1.31, 95%CI: -2.33 to -0.29, P < 0.05), and electroacupuncture (MD=-1.17, 95%CI: -2.19 to -0.16), P < 0.05) were superior to western medicine, especially fire needle. (3) In terms of reducing WOMAC scores, fire needle (MD=-15.38, 95%CI: -27.88 to -2.87, P < 0.05), warm acupuncture (MD=-11.48, 95%CI: -16.45 to -6.51, P < 0.05), and electroacupuncture (MD=-7.29, 95%CI: -11.86 to -2.72, P < 0.05) were superior to western medicine, especially fire needle. (4) In summary, comprehensive comparison of three kinds of acupuncture, in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, fire needle is the first choice. However, it still needs to be confirmed by more high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Objective To explore the sanitary qualities of physical and chemical indexes of water dip solution of cement. Methods The dynamic determination on the indexes of water quality, such as color, turbidity, smell and taste, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, volatile phenol, arsenic, mercury, lead, silver and fluoride etc., in water solution (0.02 g/ml) for dipping 10 g cement sample was carried out at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 10th, 20th and the 30th day during the whole dipping period. Results The levels of the indexes metioned above not only revealed no significant variations during the whole dipping period of 30 days, but also accorded with the requirement of the National Sanitary Standard for Water of Dipping Protective Materials Contacting with Drinking Water. The pH value decreased from 11.59 at the 1st day to 10.02 at the 30th day of dipping period (r=-0.998, P
