Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of combined therapy of Fuyuan Huoxue decoction and transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma. Methods 80 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma were randomly divided into a control group, treated by transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization, and a treatment group, additionally treated by Fuyuan Huoxue decoction on the basis of the control group. By observing the change of gross tumor volume、tumor markers、clinical symptoms、Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS) score、quality of life and so on,compare the clinical effects and quality of life between the two groups. Results The effective rate of solid tumor was 47.50%and 35%in the treatment and the control group respectively, with no significant difference(χ2=-1.229, P>0.05);The total effect rate was 87.50%and 32.50%in the treatment and the control group respectively, with significant difference(χ2=-5.633, P<0.05);The rate of patients merged with portal vein tumor thrombus whose cancer embolus narrowed more than 1/2 after the treatment was 78.95%and 33.33%in the treatment and the control group respectively, with significant difference(χ2=7.836, P<0.05);The rate of alpha fetoprotein(AFP) decreasing or turning negative was 78.95%and 37.83%after the treatment in the treatment and the control group respectively, with significant difference(χ2=-3.857, P<0.05);Both groups have improvement in Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS) score after the treatment, the ratios was 80% and 72.50% in the treatment and the control group respectively, with no significant difference(χ2=-1.203, P>0.05);The accumulated scores change of quality of life(QOL) has asignificant difference(χ2=-3.025, P<0.05) between the two groups after the treatment. Conclusion The combined therapy of Fuyuan Huoxue decoction and transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization can alleviate the clinical symptoms, improve treatment effects and quality of life of patients with primary hepatic carcinoma.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted versus fluoroscopy-assisted sacroiliac screw internal fixation for posterior pelvic ring fractures.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, PubMed, Web of Science and ScienceDirect were searched for literature on robot-assisted versus fluoroscopy-assisted sacroiliac screw internal fixation for posterior pelvic ring fractures. The search time was from the establishment of each database to March 2023. Meta-analysis was performed on the included literature. The random-effects model was used when the heterogeneity between groups was large, and the fixed-effects model was used when the heterogeneity between groups was small.Results:A total of 15 studies were included in the meta-analysis, including 465 patients in the robot-assisted group and 396 patients in the fluoroscopy-assisted group. Meta-analysis showed that the number of fluoroscopies [ SMD=-3.12, 95% CI (-4.34, -1.89), P<0.001], the number of guide pin adjustments [ SMD=-3.75, 95% CI (-6.77, -0.72), P=0.015], intraoperative blood loss [ SMD=-0.83, 95% CI (-1.18, -0.49), P<0.001], and operative time [ SMD=-2.59, 95% CI (-4.11, -1.08), P<0.001] were smaller than those in the fluoroscopy-assisted group. The rate of excellent screw implantation [ OR=10.13, 95% CI (3.67,27.98), P<0.001] of the robot-assisted was larger than the fluoroscopy-assisted group. There was no significant difference in Majeed functional score [ SMD=0.28, 95% CI (-0.0003, 0.55), P=0.050] and fracture healing time [ SMD=-0.14, 95% CI (-0.46, 0.17), P=0.367] between the two groups. Conclusion:Robot-assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation for posterior pelvic ring fractures has the advantages of less fluoroscopy, less guide pin adjustment, less intraoperative blood loss, shorter operation time, and higher rate of excellent screw position. However, there is no difference in Majeed score and fracture healing time between robot-assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation and fluoroscopy-assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw fixation.
