Objective:To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for spastic hemiplegia after ischemic stroke. Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of acupuncture treatment for spastic hemiplegia after ischemic stroke meeting the inclusion criteria in Cochrane Library,Medline,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),PubMed,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),SinoMed,Chongqing VIP Database(VIP),and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform(Wanfang)published from each database's inception to February 2023 were retrieved by computer.Two reviewers independently extracted data and evaluated the risk of bias using Cochrane's risk of bias tool.Review Manager 5.4 was used for data analysis.Continuous data were evaluated using mean difference(MD)with a 95%confidence interval(CI),and dichotomous data were analyzed using risk ratio(RR). Results:A total of 24 trials,including 1 970 participants,were included in the study.The meta-analysis of 7 trials showed that compared to the rehabilitation therapy,acupuncture therapy was more effective in improving the simplified Fugl-Meyer assessment score after 1-month treatments[MD=10.52,95%CI(7.81,13.23),P<0.001].The meta-analysis of 2 articles showed the same tendency after 6-month treatments[MD=19.18,95%CI(11.34,27.02),P<0.001],and the 6-month treatment course resulted in better outcomes than the 1-month course.The meta-analysis of 8 trials showed that acupuncture had a better improvement on the Barthel index score than rehabilitation therapy after 1-month treatments[MD=10.78,95%CI(8.91,12.64),P<0.001].The meta-analysis of 2 articles showed the same tendency after 6-month treatments[MD=19.94,95%CI(19.02,20.87),P<0.001],and the 6-month course was better than the 1-month course.The meta-analysis of 2 trials showed that the effective rate of the modified Ashworth scale score improvement was more notable in the acupuncture group after 1-month treatments[RR=1.20,95%CI(1.02,1.40),P=0.020].One trial reported no adverse event,and 1 trial reported 3 adverse events without severe influence. Conclusion:Acupuncture might be an effective and safe therapy for spastic hemiplegia after ischemic stroke,but more high-quality,large-sample objectively-evaluated RCTs are needed to validate the conclusion.

Objective To compare the effects of two kinds of transparent dressings for patients with skin graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) in PICC catheter maintenance.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted among 86 patients who had complicated skin GVHD after Allo-HSCT and used PICC catheter. We selected 42 patients who used dressings of 10 cm×12 cm from March 2012 to January 2014 as the control group,and selected 44 patients who used dressings of 6 cm×7 cm from March 2014 to January 2016 as the observation group. During the maintenance of PICC catheters,the maintenance effect of catheters in two groups were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference between two groups in the effect of catheter maintatence,catheter-related infection,and the dressing replacement interval (P>0.05). While the medical adhesive related skin injury of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions During the maintenance of PICC catheters,the transparent dressing of 6 cm×7 cm is much safer,more comfortable with less costs. It is especially suitable for the patients with skin GVHD after Allo-HSCT.
