We present a case of a 3-year-old boy with BRMS, in whom endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was successfully used both diagnostically and therapeutically, thus obviating the need for surgery and its attendant risks of morbidity and mortality. We conclude that ERCP is an effective alternative to surgery for BRMS in some patients.展开更多

The methodological qualities of included trials were evaluated by theCochrane risk of bias assessment tool. The meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results： Overall, thirteen trials with a total of 1998 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis indicatedthat TCM washing combined with massage group was significantly superior to the control group in the first meconiumtime （MD, -16.67; 95% CI, -24.59 to -8.74; P〈0.001）, time for transformation of meconium （MD, -15.44; 95% CI,-23.59 to -7.28; P〈0.001）, transcutaneous bilirubin index changes [after treating three days （MD, -1.99; 95% CI, -2.57 to-1.40; P〈0.001）, after treating four days （MD, -1.86; 95% CI, -2.77 to -0.95; P〈0.001）, after treating five days （MD,-2.44; 95% CI, -3.47 to -1.42; P〈0.001）, after treating six days （MD, -2.23; 95% CI, -3.30 to -1.16; P〈0.001）, and thechanges of serum bilirubin levels [after treating five days （MD, -3.17; 95% CI, -5.83 to -0.50; P=0.02）, after treating sixdays （MD, -1.63; 95% CI, -3.10 to -0.16; P=0.03）, after treating fifteen days （MD,-1.20; 95% CI, -1.99 to -0.41; P=0.003）.Conclusions： TCM washing combined with massage may be an effective therapy for the treatment of neonatal jaundice.It can accelerate the excretion of meconium, shorten the time for transformation of meconium, and decreasetranscutaneous bilirubin index and the level of serum bilirubin. But it should be careful to interpreting these findings.Well-designed RCTs are needed to further clarify the conclusion.展开更多
