Pub Med, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane database were searched for eligible literatures published in English until June 2016. The endpoint was recurrence rate and pooled risk ratio（RR） was calculated.RESULTS： Nine eligible studies were included and Metaanalysis results showed no significantly difference in patients treated with bevacizumab in short term followup [3mo： RR=0.70（0.34, 1.45）; 6mo： RR=0.55（0.23, 1.32）] compared with control groups. No significant effects were observed in favor of bevacizumab in subgroup analyses： patients with subconjunctival injection of bevacizumab [3mo： RR=0.95（0.70, 1.29）; 6mo： RR=0.83（0.55, 1.28）], primary pterygium [3mo： RR=0.59（0.23, 1.54; 6mo： RR=0.59（0.23, 1.53）], simple pterygium excision [3mo： 0.32（0.05, 2.04）, P=0.23; 6mo： 0.27（0.05, 1.53）] and excision with conjunctival autograft [3mo： 1.51（0.25, 9.15）; 6mo： 1.11（0.06, 21.69）].CONCLUSION： In this Meta-analysis, we did not found the significant effect of bevacizumab in pterygium treatment, at least in short term follow-up（3mo and 6mo）.展开更多

It is of great importance to select appropriate teaching strategies in nurse education to make the training more appealing and more effective. In this article, ten teaching strategies will be introduced to help instructors learn how to involve the teaching strategy in the nurse education. If using these strategies well, students are more likely to memorize the information associated with the lesson. Selection of teaching strategies appropriately is of great importance for nurse educators to deliver high-quality education.展开更多

It is useful, then, for health care professionals to be able to identify the leadership styles and theories relevant to their nursing practice. Being adept in recognizing these styles not only enables nurses to develop their skills to become better leaders but also improves relationships with colleagues and leaders who have previously been challenging to work with. This article aims to use different leadership theories to interpret a common scenario in clinical settings in order to improve leadership effectiveness. Ultimately, it is found that different leadership styles are needed for different situations, and leaders should know which approach is most effective in a given scenario to achieve the organization's goals.展开更多
