RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of naproxen in preventing heterotopic ossification (HO) after hip surgery (total hip arthroplasty [THA] and hip arthroscopy). METHODS: Using databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science), we conducted an electronic, systematic search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing naproxen versus placebo on HO after hip surgery. The risk ratio (RR) of the dichotomous data, weighted mean difference (WMD) of continuous data, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effects of naproxen in patients with hip surgery. RESULTS: A total of 4 studies including 269 patients were analyzed. Risk of bias was relatively high in allocation concealment and blinding. Compared with control group, administration naproxen was associated with a significantly reduction of the occurrence of HO at final follow-up after hip surgery (Pâ<â.05). What's more, naproxen was associated with a reduction of the Brooker I and II HO (Pâ<â.05). However, there was no significant difference between the Brooker III HO between naproxen and control groups (Pâ>â.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the complications (Pâ>â.05) between naproxen and control groups. CONCLUSION: Naproxen has a beneficial role in reducing the total occurrence of HO, Brooker I and II HO after hip surgery. However, conclusions are limited due to the lack of high-quality studies. More high quality studies may help in a more reliable therapy for HO.

OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic surgery is the current accepted approach in most pediatric surgical centers. In an attempt to further minimize the surgical trauma and improve cosmetic outcome, new techniques with a single incision through the umbilicus have been proposed and we believe they will become the standard choices for pediatric surgery. This report describes our initial experience with transumbilical single-incision laparoscopic surgery (TSILS) in children with conventional instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of 82 pediatric patients who underwent TSILS in children with conventional instruments from January 2011 to June 2015 was performed. The operations included 56 appendectomies, 9 cholecystectomies, and 17 spermatic vein ligations. RESULTS: The average age by procedure was 6.2 years for appendectomy (range of 3-14 years); 12.4 years for cholecystectomy (range of 10-14 years); and 12.8 years for spermatic vein ligation (range of 11-14 years). The average operative time was 32 minutes for appendectomy (range of 25-56 minutes); 54 minutes for cholecystectomy (range of 35-95 minutes); and 23 minutes for spermatic vein ligation (range of 17-41 minutes). The average length of staying in hospital was 3 days (range of 2-5 days). All of the operations in 82 cases were successful. None required conversion to open or conventional laparoscopic surgery. There was no obvious wound pain. In addition, there were no wound infections on umbilicus and any other intraoperative complications. There was no obvious scar at patients' umbilicus after postoperative follow-up for 2-4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS: TSILS is a safe and viable technique that may be used successfully in pediatric surgery. Additionally, excellent cosmetic results are obtained as evidenced by imperceptible umbilical scarring.

PURPOSE: Numerous observational epidemiological studies have evaluated associations between breastfeeding and the risk of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma; however, the existing results are inconsistent. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS: Medical literature was searched in the Pubmed and Embase databases to identify all English-language relevant studies up to April 10, 2013. Reference lists were thereafter hand-searched for additional articles. Studies that reported relative risk ratios (RRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were included. This meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the guidelines for the meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology. RESULTS: We finally included 10 case-control studies in our meta-analysis, involving 1,618 childhood Hodgkin lymphoma cases and 8,181 controls. Overall, we did found a borderline significant association between breastfeeding and reduced risk of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma comparing ever breastfed children to never breastfed children (pooled OR =0.79; 95%CI, 0.58-1.08; P=0.13), with limited evidence for between-study heterogeneity (P =0.12, I2 = 35.70%). CONCLUSION: There is limited evidence for an inverse association between breastfeeding and risk of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma.
