DATA ReTRIevAL: We retrieved relevant random and semi-random controlled trials that used theXingnao Kaiqiao needling method to treat ischemic stroke compared with various control treatments such as conventional drugs or other acupuncture therapies. Searched databases included China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Weipu Information Resources System, Wanfang Medical Data System, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, and PubMed, from May 2006 to July 2014. SeLeCTION CRITeRIA: Two authors independently conducted literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction. The quality of articles was evaluated according to the Cochrane Reviewers’ Handbook 5.1, and the study was carried out using Cochrane system assessment methods. RevMan 5.2 was used for meta-analysis of the included studies. MAIN OUTCOMe MeASUReS: Mortality rate, recurrence rate, and disability rate were observed. ReSULTS:Nine randomized and semi-randomized controlled trials treating 931 cases of ischemic stroke were included in this review. Meta-analysis results showed that there were no sig-niifcant differences in mortality reduction (risk ratio (RR) = 0.58, 95% conifdence interval (CI): 0.17–1.93,Z = 0.89,P = 0.37) or recurrence rate (RR = 0.55, 95%CI: 0.18–1.70,Z = 1.04,P = 0.30) of ischemic stroke patients between theXingnao Kaiqiao needling and control treatment groups. However, theXingnao Kaiqiao needling method had a tendency towards higher efifcacy in mor-tality reduction and recurrence rates. TheXingnao Kaiqiao needling method was signiifcantly better than that of the control treatment in reducing disability rate (RR = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.27–0.98, Z = 2.03,P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION:TheXingnao Kaiqiao needling method has a better effect than control treatment in reducing disability rate. The long-term effect ofXingnao Kaiqiao needling against ischemic stroke is better than that of control treatment. However, the limitations of this study limit the strength of the conclusions. Randomized controlled trials with a strict, reasonable design, and multi-center, large-scale samples and follow-up are necessary to draw conclusions aboutXingnao Kaiqiao needling.展开更多

Critically ill patients are at increased risk for ME, ADEs and serious negative outcomes related to these events. Capitalizing on CDS to detect ME and prevent adverse drug related events has the potential to improve patient outcomes. The key to an effective medication safety surveillance system incorporating CDS is advancing the signals for alerts by using trajectory analyses to predict clinical events, instead of waiting for these events to occur. Additionally, incorporating cutting-edge biomarkers into alert knowledge in an effort to identify the need to adjust medication therapy portending harm will advance the current state of CDS. CDS can be taken a step further to identify drug related physiological events, which are less commonly included in surveillance systems. Predictive models for adverse events that combine patient factors with laboratory values and biomarkers are being established and these models can be the foundation for individualized CDS alerts to prevent impending ADEs.展开更多

文摘OBJeCTIve:To systematically evaluate the long-term effect and safety ofXingnao Kaiqiao nee-dling method in ischemic stroke treatment. DATA ReTRIevAL: We retrieved relevant random and semi-random controlled trials that used theXingnao Kaiqiao needling method to treat ischemic stroke compared with various control treatments such as conventional drugs or other acupuncture therapies. Searched databases included China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Weipu Information Resources System, Wanfang Medical Data System, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Cochrane Library, and PubMed, from May 2006 to July 2014. SeLeCTION CRITeRIA: Two authors independently conducted literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction. The quality of articles was evaluated according to the Cochrane Reviewers’ Handbook 5.1, and the study was carried out using Cochrane system assessment methods. RevMan 5.2 was used for meta-analysis of the included studies. MAIN OUTCOMe MeASUReS: Mortality rate, recurrence rate, and disability rate were observed. ReSULTS:Nine randomized and semi-randomized controlled trials treating 931 cases of ischemic stroke were included in this review. Meta-analysis results showed that there were no sig-niifcant differences in mortality reduction (risk ratio (RR) = 0.58, 95% conifdence interval (CI): 0.17–1.93,Z = 0.89,P = 0.37) or recurrence rate (RR = 0.55, 95%CI: 0.18–1.70,Z = 1.04,P = 0.30) of ischemic stroke patients between theXingnao Kaiqiao needling and control treatment groups. However, theXingnao Kaiqiao needling method had a tendency towards higher efifcacy in mor-tality reduction and recurrence rates. TheXingnao Kaiqiao needling method was signiifcantly better than that of the control treatment in reducing disability rate (RR = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.27–0.98, Z = 2.03,P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION:TheXingnao Kaiqiao needling method has a better effect than control treatment in reducing disability rate. The long-term effect ofXingnao Kaiqiao needling against ischemic stroke is better than that of control treatment. However, the limitations of this study limit the strength of the conclusions. Randomized controlled trials with a strict, reasonable design, and multi-center, large-scale samples and follow-up are necessary to draw conclusions aboutXingnao Kaiqiao needling.
文摘AIM:To assess the efficacy and safety of single strain probiotics for the:(1) eradication of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori);(2) prevention of adverse events;and(3) prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea associated with eradication therapy.METHODS:We searched Pub Med(1960-2014),EMBASE(1974-2014),Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews(1990-2014),and ISI Web of Science(2000-2014).Additionally,we conducted a grey literature search including contact with National Institutes of Health Clinical Trials Registry,abstracts from annual infectious disease and gastroenterology meetings,experts in the field and correspondence with authors.Randomized controlled trials of H.pylori positive adults or children treated with eradication therapy and assessing the adjunctive therapy with a single strain of probiotics were included.The primary outcomes were the rates of eradication of H.pylori and frequency of patients with adverse events or antibiotic-associated diarrhea.Outcomes were pooled using fixed or random-effects models to calculate the relative risk and corresponding 95%CI and weighted on study size.To explore possible explanations for heterogeneity,a priori subgroup analyses were conducted on daily probiotic dose,study population,and quality of the study.The overall quality of the evidence for each probiotic strain was assessed using the GRADE criteria.RESULTS:A total of 25 randomized controlled trials(28 treatment arms,with a total of 3769 participants) assessed one of six single probiotic strains as adjunctive treatments to standard eradication therapy.Only one probiotic strain significantly improved H.pylori eradication rates:Saccharomyces boulardii(S.boulardii) CNCM I-745 [pooled relative risks(p RR) = 1.11,95%CI:1.07-1.16].Only one probiotic strain(S.boulardii CNCM I-745) significantly prevented any adverse events(p RR = 0.42,95%CI:0.28-0.62).Both S.boulardii CNCM I-745 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG significantlyreduced antibiotic-associated diarrhea(p RR = 0.47,95%CI:0.37-0.60 and p RR = 0.29,95%CI:0.17-0.48,respectively) associated with H.pylori eradication therapy.Meta-regression of sub-groups did not detect significant differences by dose,adult vs pediatric,symptom status,or study quality,but did find significant differences by the strain of probiotic.Potential mild publication bias was found for antibiotic-associated diarrhea,but not for eradication or adverse event outcomes.Analysis of the study quality illuminated areas for improvement in future studies(use of placebos,study size calculations,attrition reasons and discussion of limitations and generalizability).CONCLUSION:The pooled evidence suggests that the adjunctive use of a few probiotic strains may improve H.pylori eradication rates and prevent the development of adverse events and antibiotic-associated diarrhea in those treated with standard eradication therapies.The type of probiotic strain was the most important factor in predicting efficacy.
文摘This study aims to analyze the clinical use of ornidazole injection at the post-marketing stage by centralized hospital monitoring system method,and investigate its widespread use in patients,in order to regulate and guide the rational drug use,improve the drug specificity and provide a basis for drug therapy.The study adopts a prospective,multi-center,large sample size,centralized hospital monitoring system.We selected five leading hospitals in Hubei province,and observed the inpatients who received the ornidazole injection from July 1,2015 to October 31,2015.The basic information of patients was recorded,as well as the drug use and adverse events.The statistical analysis was performed based on these data.A total of 4396 individuals were enrolled in this study,most of them were middle-aged female patients and the ornidazole injection was mainly used as prophylactic prior to surgery to prevent the infections,and surgical treatment of anaerobic infections,abdominal infections and pelvic infections.The irrational drug use existed mainly in the prescribing and administration process,including unreasonable dosing frequency,rapid intravenous drip speed and extended duration of drug use.Eleven cases of adverse reactions were collected during the monitoring,incidence rate of adverse reactions was 2.5‰;adverse drug reactions occurred within 30 min.The study results fully reflected the usage of ornidazole injection in the real world.Based on the study,we calculated the adverse reaction incidence of ornidazole and identified the risk factors which may affect the safety of ornidazole injection.Study results strongly recommend that the manufacturers should publish standards for inpatient use and doctors should prescribe with caution accordingly.

文摘Clinical decision support(CDS) systems with automated alerts integrated into electronic medical records demonstrate efficacy for detecting medication errors(ME) and adverse drug events(ADEs). Critically ill patients are at increased risk for ME, ADEs and serious negative outcomes related to these events. Capitalizing on CDS to detect ME and prevent adverse drug related events has the potential to improve patient outcomes. The key to an effective medication safety surveillance system incorporating CDS is advancing the signals for alerts by using trajectory analyses to predict clinical events, instead of waiting for these events to occur. Additionally, incorporating cutting-edge biomarkers into alert knowledge in an effort to identify the need to adjust medication therapy portending harm will advance the current state of CDS. CDS can be taken a step further to identify drug related physiological events, which are less commonly included in surveillance systems. Predictive models for adverse events that combine patient factors with laboratory values and biomarkers are being established and these models can be the foundation for individualized CDS alerts to prevent impending ADEs.
文摘Objective:To analyze the clinical efficacy of hepatic artery chemoembolization in the treatment of advanced liver cancer.Methods:124 patients with advanced liver cancer admitted to our hospital from September 2019 to November 2020 were selected as the research subjects of this paper.The patients with advanced liver cancer were divided into experimental group and control group.The control group was treated with radiofrequency ablation alone,and the experimental group was administered hepatic arterial chemoembolization.The improvement in physical indicators and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups were compared.Results:The alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)index and serum total bilirubin(TBIL)index of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group,and the alanine aminotransferase(ALT)index was higher than that of the control group.There were differences in the comparison of liver function indices between the two groups which were statistically significant.After treatment,there were 3 cases of fever,4 cases of vomiting,8 cases of bone marrow transplantation,4 cases of abdominal pain,2 cases of proteinuria,and 1 case of diarrhea occurred in the experimental group;whereas there were 6 cases of fever,8 cases of vomiting,14 cases of bone marrow transplantation,7 cases of abdominal pain,5 cases of proteinuria,and 6 cases of diarrhea occurred in the control group.The difference in incidence of adverse reactions between patients after different treatment interventions was statistically significant.Analyzing the remission rate of tumor diseases in patients,the remission rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference in the remission rate between the two groups of patients was statistically significant.Conclusion:The implementation of hepatic arterial chemoembolization for patients with advanced liver cancer can promote the improvement of the patient's short-term treatment efficacy,enhance the liver functions of the patient,reduce the incidence of adverse reactions,improve the efficiency of the patient's body rehabilitation,and enhance the quality of life of the patient after treatment.
文摘BACKGROUND Adalimumab(ADA)and infliximab(IFX)are the cornerstones of the treatment of Crohn’s disease(CD).It remains controversial whether there is a difference in the effectiveness and safety between IFX and ADA for CD.AIM To perform a meta-analysis to compare the effectiveness and safety of ADA and IFX in CD.METHODS Pub Med,Embase,Cochrane Library,and Web of Science databases were searched.Cohort studies were considered for inclusion.The primary outcomes were induction of response and remission,maintenance of response and remission,and secondary loss of response.Adverse events were secondary outcomes.RESULTS Fourteen cohort studies were included.There was no apparent difference between the two agents in the induction response[odds ratio(OR):1.27,95%confidence interval(CI):0.93-1.74,P=0.14]and remission(OR:1.11,95%CI:0.78–1.57,P=0.57),maintenance response(OR:1.08,95%CI:0.76–1.53,P=0.67)and remission(OR:1.26,95%CI:0.87–1.82,P=0.22),and secondary loss of response(OR:1.01,95%CI:0.65–1.55,P=0.97).Subgroup analysis revealed ADA and IFX had similar rates of response,remission,and loss of response either in anti-tumor necrosis factor-αna?ve or non-na?ve patients.Further,there was a similar result regardless of whether CD patients were treated with optimized therapy,including dose intensification,shortening interval,and combination immunomodulators.However,ADA had a fewer overall adverse events than IFX(OR:0.62,95%CI:0.42–0.91,P=0.02).CONCLUSION ADA and IFX have similar clinical benefits for anti-tumor necrosis factor-αna?ve or non-na?ve CD patients.Overall adverse events rate is higher in patients in the IFX group.
文摘The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of photodynamic combined freezing in patients with non-melanoma skin cancer(NMSC).First,according to the treatment regimen,96 patients with NMSC were divided into study group(n=50)and control group(n=46).The control group was treated with 5-amino-ketovalic acid photodynamic therapy(ALAPDT),while the study group was treated with ala-PDT combined with cryotherapy.Visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,visual satisfaction,clinical efficacy,adverse reactions,and progression-free survival were compared between the two groups.The results showed that VAS score in the study group was slightly higher than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The appearance satisfaction and total effective rate of patients in the study group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was slightly higher than that in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).3 years progressionfree survival time and 3 years progression-free survival rate were compared between the two groups,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Therefore,the combination of PDT and cryotherapy for non-melanoma skin cancer has a good clinical effect,which is conducive to the recovery of skin lesions,high patient satisfaction,fewer adverse reactions,and longer progression-free survival.In addition,the combined therapy can provide a new treatment idea for non-melanoma skin cancer patients who are not suitable for surgical treatment.
