Objective To determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis can reduce the risk of postoperative infective complications in patients undergoing TURP who have sterile preoperative urine. Methods MEDLINE,EMBASE,CBMA and the Cochrane Library were searched for RCTs comparing antibiotic prophylaxis with placebo/blank controls for patients undergoing TURP with preoperative sterile urine.The search strategy was made according to the Collaborative Review Group search strategy.Data were extracted by two reviewers using the designed extraction form. The software RevMan was used to review management and data analysis.The results were expressed as RR and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for categorical outcomes and weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95%CI for continuous outcomes. Results 53 relevant RCTs were searched, of which 27 were included and 26 were excluded.Antibiotic prophylaxis significantly decreased the rate of post-TURP bacteriuria,post-TURP fever,post-TURP bacteremia and the rate of continuous antibiotic use.The corresponding pooled relative risk (RR) and 95%CI was 0.36 (0.28 to 0.46),0.83 (0.71 to 0.97),0.43 (0.22 to 0.86) and 0.26 (0.20 to 0.33),respectively.However,the available data failed to prove that antibiotic prophylaxis shortened the duration of hospitalization (WMD, -0.31;95% CI , -0.78 to 0.35). Conclusions Prophylactic antibiotics can significantly decrease the incidence of post-TURP bacteriuria,fever,bacteremia and continuous antibiotic treatment,but cannot significantly shorten the duration of hospitalization.Antibiotics should be used in patients undergoing TURP.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristic lung rehabilitation in treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and TCM syndrome of lung and kidney qi deficiency at stable period. Methods Sixty patients with stable COPD and lung and kidney qi deficiency syndrome admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from June to August 2017 were enrolled, and they were divided into routine treatment group and lung rehabilitation treatment group according to the random number table method, each group 30 cases. The routine treatment group was given Seretide (serevent/futicasone) dry powderi nhalation therapy; on the basis of therapy in the routine treatment group, the lung rehabilitation treatment group was treated with TCM characteristic lung rehabilitation technology (acupoint application + Chinese medicine ionic induction + oral administration of Chinese medicine Liuweibuqi granules, delivery at appropriate intervals); both groups were treated for 2 months. The changes of TCM syndrome score, western medicine symptom score, the times of acute exacerbation of COPD, COPD assessment test (CAT) score, lung function indexes: forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) were observed before and after treatment in two groups. Results After treatment, TCM syndrome score, western medicine symptom score, CAT score, and after treatment the times of acute exacerbation of COPD in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the above indexes in the lung rehabilitation treatment group were markedly lower than those in routine treatment group [TCM syndrome score:11.93±1.80 vs. 14.27±2.88, western medicine symptom score: 14.20±2.75 vs. 11.93±4.23, CAT score: 14.87±2.60 vs. 16.23±4.39, the times of acute exacerbation of COPD (times): 0.63±0.49 vs. 0.95±0.83, all P < 0.05]. The improvement of FEV1 in the two groups was not significant; but FEV1/FVC in lung rehabilitation treatment group was obviously higher than that before treatment, FEV1/FVC in lung rehabilitation treatment group was significantly higher than that in the routine treatment group [(57.93±7.27)% vs. (52.49±6.61)%, P < 0.05]. Conclusion The application of TCM characteristic lung rehabilitation in the treatment of COPD patients with stable lung and kidney qi deficiency syndrome based on bronchodilators and glucocorticoids can reduce the number of acute exacerbation, improve the patients' clinical symptoms and living quality, but the improvement of lung function is not significant.
