BACKGROUND:Tranexamic acid administered either in intra-articular route or in intravenous route can significantly reduce blood loss during total knee arthroplasty. Recent studies are stil controversial in application mode of tranexamic acid in the clinic.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical outcomes of tranexamic acid in intra-articular route and intravenous route during total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS:PubMed, OVID, Web of Science, and EMBASE were searched to identify randomized control ed trials concerning the comparison of tranexamic acid in intra-articular route and intravenous route during total knee arthroplasty published before 1 May 2015. Transfusion rate, hemoglobin decline, drainage volume and thromboembolic complication rate were considered as indexes to evaluate the clinical effect, for meta-analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Six randomized control ed trials involving 847 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed no significant difference between intra-articular and intravenous administration of tranexamic acid in terms of transfusion rate, hemoglobin decline, drainage volume, total blood loss, and thromboembolic complication rate. Subgroup analysis for dose regimen showed that when occlusion time of drainage tube was<2 hours. Intra-articular route of tranexamic acid showed high drainage volume and hemoglobin decline compared with the intravenous route of tranexamic acid (P<0.01). Results confirmed that during total knee arthroplasty, clinical effects of intra-articular and intravenous routes of tranexamic acid are similar during total knee arthroplasty. Moreover, it is recommended that occlusion of drainage tube can be conducted for 2 hours in intra-articular route of tranexamic acid.

Objective To explore the current status of social support and its influence factors among MSM in Chongqing .Meth‐ods The status of social support was measured by Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS) in 803 males who have sex with man (MSM) .Results Eight hundred and three MSM were selected as the subjects ,whose average overall scores of social support were 29 .240 ± 6 .228 .Increasing with the growth of the number of friends in gay circles ,MSM tended to obtain more social supports . SSRS score displayed that MSM with features like same gender sexual orientation ,infecting STDs ,only child and did not have regu‐lar homo sex partners got lower social support(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Their social support system should be improved .Therefore , the quality of life and social support will be improved ,thus to maintain their physical and mental health .

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of the combination of amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in fast detection of clarithromycin resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) in gastric mucosa.Methods A total of 150 gastric mucosal specimens with positive H.pylori culture were collected from the H.pylori positive patients who failed in H.pylori eradication from January to August in 2013.The drug resistant gene mutation types of H.pylori in these samples were detected by quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS.And the accuracy was confirmed by sequencing.The clarithromycin resistance of H.pylori was determined by E-assay.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results Among 149 gastric mucosal specimens (one specimens without wild type or mutation type had been eliminated),the results of quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS of two samples were not consistent with the results of sequencing;the consistent rate was 98.7％ (147/149).Among 149 specimens with positive H.pylori culture,104 samples (69.8％) were clarithromycin resistance.In 101 samples the clarithromycin resistance was detected by quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS;the consistent rate was 97.1％ (101/104).Both E-assay and clarithromycin resistant rate detected by E-assay or quantitative real-time PCR based on ARMS was 69.8％ (104/149) and 67.8％ (101/149),respectively,and the difference was not significant (x2 =0.141,P=0.932).Conclusion The combination of ARMS and quantitative real-time PCR method in fast detection of clarithromycin resistance of H.pylori in gastric mucosa is strongly feasible and highly consistent has high consistent rate with sequencing and E-assay.
