As a statistical method integrating multi-features and multi-data, meta-analysis was introduced to the field of life science in the 1990s. With the rapid advances in high-throughput technologies, life omics, the core of which are genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, is becoming the new hot spot of life science. Although the fast output of massive data has promoted the development of omics study, it results in excessive data that are difficult to integrate systematically. In this case, meta-analysis is frequently applied to analyze different types of data and is improved continuously. Here, we first summarize the representative meta-analysis methods systematically, and then study the current applications of meta-analysis in various omics fields, finally we discuss the still-existing problems and the future development of meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Because of the special structure of enamel fluorosis, the traditional bonding adhesives often lower the bonding strength and increase bracket loss rate, which affected the therapeutic effects seriously.OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical bracket loss rate differences among the 3 different bonding adhesives in treating moderate and severe dental fluorosis.METHODS: A total of 15 cases (total 288 teeth) with dental fluorosis were selected, including 6 males and 9 females, aged 13-26 years. All cases were randomly divided into 3 groups, and treated by using Beijing-Tianjin enamel adhesive bonding brackets,photo-curing-flowable Resin + Single Bond 2 adhesive bonding brackets and a small amount of dental fluorosis of enamel surfaces were ground and bonding bracket, the loss rate of brackets were observed.RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The total loss rates of the Beijing-Tianjin-enamel adhesive bonding bracket group, photo-curing flowable resin + Single Bond 2 adhesive bonding bracket group, and a small amount of dental fluoresis of enamel surfaces were ground and bonding bracket group were 65.6%, 20.5%, and 2.5%, respectively. There was significant difference in bracket loss rate among bonding adhesives (P< 0.01). It suggested that a small amount of surface enamel were ground and bonding bracket got the best effect, followed by photo-curing fiowable resin + Single Bond 2 adhesive bracket bonding group, both of them were significantly better than the Beijing-Tianjin-enamel adhesive bracket bonding group. Because veneering directly requires to grind part of the tooth structure which is difficult to accept for some patients, therefore, under the premise of not destroying the tooth structure, using photo-curing fiowable resin + Single Bond 2 adhesive bonding of brackets instead of the traditional Beijing-Tianjin enamel adhesive bonding of brackets can effectively reduce the loss rate of brackets for moderate and severe dental fluorosis.

Because of insufficient intake,synthesis disorder,metabolic disorder and excessive consumption,patients with cirrhosis often lead to malnutrition. Providing scientific nutritional support and guiding the patients to a reasonable diet can effectively improve the liver metabolism and reduce the complication of cirrhosis such as hepatic encephalopathy,and improve the quality of life and survival rate. This article described the nutritional metabolism disorder in patients with cirrhosis and nutritional treatment in hepatic encephalopathy.

It is no doubt that obstetrics and gynecology contains profound philosophic thinking.To integrate the philosophical thinking of materialistic dialectics and dialectical unity in obstetrics and gynecology teaching is helpful to reveal the essence from obstetrics and gynecology phenomena.Application and cultivation of philosophical thinking may be useful to further explore students'comprehensive thinking potential and effectively improve the quality of obstetrics and gynecology teaching.

Objective To explore the clinical eficacy of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation in treatment of decompensated cirrhosis.Methods Thirty patients with decompensated cirrhosis were given umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation (treatment group) and 30 patients with decompensated cirrhosis were given traditional treatment (control group).Liver function and blood coagulation function was tested after 4,8 weeks treatment respectively,and adverse effects were recorded at the same time.Results After 8 weeks treatment,total bilirubin,albumin and prothrombin time in treatment group was improved compared with that before treatment[(71.3 ± 37.8) μ mol/L vs.(107.3 ± 53.2) μ mol/L,(30.1 ± 4.9) g/L vs.(27.5 ± 5.1) g/L,(15.0 ± 2.9) s vs.(16.7 ± 3.9) s],and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the index before and after treatment in control group (P＞ 0.05).No obvious adverse reactions were observed in the process of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation.Conclusion Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation is safe and effective in treatment of deeompensated cirrhosis.

In recent years, the diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) has been more and more important with the rapid growth rate on incidence in China.Previous diagnosis of IMN depends on renal biopsy, a gold standard, but a high risk of traumatic examination.The detection of serum PLA2R antibody and THSD7A antibody to assist in the diagnosis of is not only fast, sensitive, simple and noninvasive, but also can reflect the immune status in real time.Compared with the traditional proteinuria severity based therapeutic efficacy evaluation, that is more effective and agile to monitor the disease condition, reflect the treatment effects and predict the prognosis better.Therefore, it should be vigorously promoted.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of diffusion weighted imaging ( DWI) for progres-sion free survival(PFS)in patients with cervix cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).Methods Thirty two consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer underwent MRI including DWI before and after NACT.Pathologic results and MR images were reviewed .Univariate analysis was applied by Kaplan -Meier method.The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate prognostic variables for multivariate analysis .Re-ceiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curves were used to find optimal cutoff values of independent prognostic fac -tors for disease progression.Results Of 32 patients,10 had disease progression during follow -up period.In uni-variate analysis,FIGO stage,tumor size,the depth of tumor invasion,lymph node metastasis and ADC changes be-tween before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (ΔADC) were significantly associated with the disease progres-sion.In multivariate analysis , FIGO stage and ΔADC were the independent prognostic factors for PFS .Optimal cutoff values that determined by ROC curves analyses were FIGO stage ⅡandΔADC 0.31.Area under the ROC curve(AUC)of FIGO stage and ΔADC were 0.841(sensitivity 90.0%,specificity 68.2%)and 0.864(sensitivity 80.0%,specificity 81.8%),respectively.Conclusion In patients with cervix cancer after NACT ,FIGO stage andΔADC are significant predictive values for PFS .

Objective To choose the best surgical procedure,the surgical results and clinical outcomes of inguinal hernia repair with either an open anterior or posterior approach,were studied.Methods The 366 cases of inguinal hernia patients according to surgical side approach in different ways,is divided into A,B groups,Among group A of 186 cases repaired with application of prolene hernia system (PHS) via anterior approach,while group B of 180 cases surgically treated with Kugel technique with a posterior approach,and surgical procedure,postoperative recovery and complications were compared between these two groups,respectively.Results No significant differences were found in operation time,hospital stay,incisional infection rate and the recurrence rate (P ＞ 0.05).However,compared with group,the group B patients had less pain of the wound,slight postoperative swelling response,less foreign body aesthesis and hydrocele(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with the anterior approach surgery,the posterior approach (Kugel technique) has less traumatic,low complication rate and rapid recovery after operation.
