ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of controlled hypotension for total hip or knee replacement.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on controlled hypotension for total hip or knee replacement from inception to September 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 15 RCTs involving 854 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with no controlled hypotension during surgery, controlled hypotension could reduce intraoperative blood loss (MD=−267.35, 95%CI −314.54 to −220.16, P<0.000 01), allogeneic blood transfusion (MD=−292.84, 95%CI −384.95 to −200.73, P<0.000 01), and 24 h postoperative mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score (MD=−1.08, 95%CI −1.82 to −0.34, P=0.004). However, there were no significant differences in 96 h postoperative MMSE score (MD=−0.11, 95%CI −0.50 to 0.28, P= 0.57) and intraoperative urine volume (MD=57.93, 95%CI −152.57 to 268.44, P=0.59).ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that controlled hypotension during total hip or knee replacement can reduce intraoperative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion. Furthermore, there is no obvious effect on the maintenance of blood perfusion in important organs, despite certain effects on the postoperative cognitive function, which can be recovered in short term. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
Objective To systematically evaluate the clinical effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with grafting material for the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects. Methods The following databases such as PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data were searched on computer from inception to August, 2012 to collect the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on PRP combined with grafting material versus grafting material alone for periodontal intrabony defects. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. RevMan 5.2 software was applied for meta-analysis. Results A total of 11 RCTs involving 342 patients were included. The pooled analysis on 7 RCTs showed that there was a significant difference in lower increase of clinical attachment loss (WMD=0.70, 95%CI 0.51 to 0.90, Plt;0.000 01) between the PRP combined with grafting material group and the grafting material alone group. But there was no significant difference in the gingival recession (WMD= −0.01, 95%CI −0.15 to 0.13, P=0.86). The pooled analysis on 9 RCTs showed that there was no significant difference in the reduction of plaque index (WMD= −0.04, 95%CI −0.09 to 0.02, P=0.20) between the two groups. Conclusion PRP combined with grafting material is superior to grafting material alone in the clinical attachment loss. But, there are no significant differences in gingival recession and plaque index. However, given the limited sample size and incomplete measure indexes of included studies, this conclusion still needs to be further proved by conducting more high-quality and large-scale RCTs.
Objective To evaluate the efficiency and associated factors of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation( NPPV) in the treatment of acute lung injury( ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome( ARDS) .Methods Twenty-eight patients who fulfilled the criteria for ALI/ARDS were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomized to receive either noninvasive positive pressure ventilation( NPPV group) or oxygen therapy through a Venturi mask( control group) . All patients were closely observed and evaluated during observation period in order to determine if the patients meet the preset intubation criteria and the associated risk factors. Results The success rate in avoiding intubation in the NPPV group was 66. 7%( 10/15) , which was significantly lower than that in the control group ( 33. 3% vs. 86. 4% , P = 0. 009) . However, there was no significant difference in the mortality between two groups( 7. 7% vs.27. 3% , P =0. 300) . The incidence rates of pulmonary bacteria infection and multiple organ damage were significantly lower in the NPPV success subgroup as compared with the NPPV failure group( 2 /10 vs. 4/5, P =0. 01;1 /10 vs. 3/5, P = 0. 03) . Correlation analysis showed that failure of NPPV was significantly associated with pulmonary bacterial infection and multiple organ damage( r=0. 58, P lt;0. 05; r =0. 53, P lt;0. 05) . Logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that pulmonary bacterial infection was an independent risk factor associated with failure of NPPV( r2 =0. 33, P =0. 024) . In the success subgroup, respiratory rate significantly decreased( 29 ±4 breaths /min vs. 33 ±5 breaths /min, P lt; 0. 05) and PaO2 /FiO2 significantly increased ( 191 ±63 mmHg vs. 147 ±55 mmHg, P lt;0. 05) at the time of 24 hours after NPPV treatment as compared with baseline. There were no significant change after NPPV treatment in heart rate, APACHEⅡ score, pH and PaCO2 ( all P gt;0. 05) . On the other hand in the failure subgroup, after 24 hours NPPV treatment, respiratory rate significantly increased( 40 ±3 breaths /min vs. 33 ±3 breaths /min, P lt;0. 05) and PaO2 /FiO2 showed a tendency to decline( 98 ±16 mmHg vs. 123 ±34 mmHg, P gt; 0. 05) . Conclusions In selected patients, NPPV is an effective and safe intervention for ALI/ARDS with improvement of pulmonary oxygenation and decrease of intubation rate. The results of current study support the use of NPPV in ALI/ARDS as the firstline choice of early intervention with mechanical ventilation.
ObjectivesTo compare the efficacy and safety of weekly nedaplatin compared with weekly cisplatin as postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy scheme for cervical cancer patients.MethodsThis trial was performed in the Department of Radiation Oncology in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from June 2016 to January 2017. A total of 200 patients with stage ⅠB1-ⅡB cervical cancer were randomly assigned to the nedaplatin group and the cisplatin group after signing informed content. The dose of nedaplatin or cisplatin ranged 35 to 40 mg/m2, once a week for 5 weeks. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy or three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy were used for patients. The progression-free survival, overall survival and adverse reactions were compared between two groups. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 24.0 software.ResultsA total of 105 patients were enrolled in the nedaplatin group, and 95 patients were in cisplatin group. The three-year progression-free survival rate was 80.5% vs. 79.5% in the nedaplatin group and the cisplatin group, respectively; and no statistical significant difference was found (χ2=0.198, P=0.656) between two groups. The 3-year overall survival rates were 72.5% and 69.9% for the nedaplatin group and the cisplatin group, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.261, P=0.609). The incidence of grade 3/4 nausea and vomiting in the nedaplatin group was 6.67%, which was significantly lower than that of 15.79% in the cisplatin group, and statistical significant difference was found (χ2=2.555, P=0.011); however, the incidence of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia in the nedaplatin group was 9.52%, which was significantly higher than that in the cisplatin group (3.15%); and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=1.985, P=0.047). There was no difference in the incidence of adverse reactions such as anemia, neutropenia, and radiological proctitis in both groups.ConclusionsNedaplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy has similar efficacy compared to cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and it could significantly reduce the digestive tract reaction, which can be used as an alternative to cisplatin.
Objective To determine the effectiveness and safety of weekly versus three weekly regimens of taxanes for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods We searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2008), PubMed (1966 to May 2008), EMbase (1974 to May 2008), and CBM (1978 to May 2008) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which compared weekly and three weekly regimens of taxanes for NSCLC. Data collection was undertaken by two reviewers independently; the methodological quality was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook 4.2.6; and the meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Nine RCTs involving 1 438 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed: (1) There were no significant differences in the efficacy between weekly and three weekly regimens of taxanes regarding the one-year survival rate (paclitaxel: RR=1.24, 95%CI 0.83 to 1.86; docetaxel: RR=0.80, 95%CI 0.51 to 1.23) and the overall response rate (paclitaxel: RR=1.03, 95%CI 0.72 to 1.49; docetaxel: RR=0.98 95%CI 0.64 to 1.49). (2) The incidence of neutropenia was less serious in the weekly group (paclitaxel: RR=0.74, 95%CI 0.56 to 0.97; docetaxel: RR=0.22, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.30), while no significant differences existed in other adverse effects such as anemia and nausea/vomiting. Conclusion The efficacy of weekly and three weekly regimens of taxanes for the treatment of NSCLC is similar. The incidence of neutropenia is lower in the weekly group while other toxicities show no differences.
Objective To compare proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and H2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) for both the prevention of bleeding and the healing of ulcer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), so as to provide best evidence for treating ESD-induced ulcer in clinic. Methods Databases including PubMed, CENTRAL, EMbase, ISI Web of Knowledge, VIP, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data were searched from the date of their establishment to October 26, 2012 to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparison of PPI and H2RA on the prevention of bleeding and the healing of ulcer after ESD. Meanwhile the references of the included studies were also retrieved manually. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed by four reviewers independently, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 6 studies involving 616 patients were included finally. The results of meta-analysis showed that: for the prevention of ulcer bleeding after ESD, PPI preceded H2RA apparently (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.89, P=0.02), especially when the treatment course was 8-week (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.82, P=0.01); but among the merged, 8-week and 4-week groups, there were no significant differences between PPI and H2RA in the healing of ESD-induced ulcer (OR=0.85, 95%CI 0.39 to 1.86, P=0.69; OR=1.33, 95%CI 0.28 to 6.27, P=0.72; OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.31 to 1.79, P=0.52). Conclusion PPI is superior to H2RA for the prevention of ulcer bleeding induced by ESD, but there is no significant difference between them in the healing of ulcer, so PPI is recommended to prevent ESD-induced ulcer bleeding in clinic. Due to the limitation of quantity and quality of the included studies, the safety of PPI has to be further proved by conducting more high quality, large scale and multicenter RCTs.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of His-bundle pacing (HBP) and right ventricular pacing (RVP).MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMbase, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on efficacy of HBP and RVP from inception to December, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 8 studies involving 1 130 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: HBP group was superior to RVP group in QRS duration (MD=–43.88, 95%CI –52.53 to –35.22, P<0.000 01), LVEF (MD=4.53, 95%CI 2.67 to 6.38, P<0.000 01), and NYHA (MD=–0.85, 95%CI –1.14 to –0.56, P<0.000 01). However, the operation time (MD=15.21, 95%CI 11.44 to 18.98, P<0.000 01) and fluoroscopy duration (MD=2.98, 95%CI 2.10 to 3.85, P<0.000 01) of HBP group were longer than that of RVP group.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that, compared with RVP, HBP is superior in maintaining of QRS duration, LVEF and NYHA; however, the operation time is longer. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusion.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of external fixation (EF) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for unstable distal radius fractures in adults. Methods We searched MEDLINE (1966 to September 2008), Cochrane Central register of controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2008), EMbase (1974 to September 2008), CBM, CNKI, and collected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of EF and ORIF for unstable distal radius fractures in adults. The quality of the included studies was critically assessed and data analyses were performed with the Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 5.0 software. Results Seven RCTs involving 634 patients were included, of which 269 were in EF group, and 293 were in ORIF group. Only 1 study had relative high quality, all the others had some limitation in randomization, blinding, and allocation concealment. The results of meta-analyses showed that, 1) about the effectiveness: according to the Gartland and Werley grade standard, the ORIF group was better than the EF group with statistic difference (RR=1.50, 95%CI 1.11 to 2.03, P=0.008); because of the original studies did not offer the detailed data including pad strength, grip strength, flexion-extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation, we only processed a descriptive analysis; and 2) about complications: the infection rate of the pin track was higher in the EF group than that in the ORIF group with statistic difference (RR=0.24, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.76, P=0.02); but there were no differences between the two groups in reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) (RR=0.88, 95%CI 0.30 to 2.56, P=0.82), extensor tendon rupture (RR=3.93, 95%CI 0.45 to 34.62, P=0.22), and compartment syndrome (RR=3.13, 95%CI 0.51 to 19.09, P=0.22). Conclusions Compared with EF, ORIF is much better based on Gartland and Werley grade standard, and causes much less infection. Because of the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more proofs are required from more RCTs with large sample.
