ObjectiveTo study the correlation between the etiology and clinical features of erythroderma.MethodsThe clinical data on 182 patients with erythroderma were retrospectively collected and analyzed.ResultsThe male-to-female ratio was 2.8 ∶ 1 and the average age at onset was 58.6 ± 14.6 years.Of the 182 cases,135 (74.2%) were due to pre-existing dermatoses,14 (7.7%) to drug reaction,8 (4.4%) to malignancies,while 25(13.7%) had no obvious precipitating factors.The most frequent triggering factor was systemic consumption of drugs(52 patients,28.6% ),and glucocorticosteroid was the most prevalent causative drug.Seventy-six patients were followed up,recurrence was observed in 14 patients but not in 58 patients,and 5 patients died,2 patients with idiopathic erythroderma were finally diagnosed with mycosis fungoides (MF)after multiple skin biopsies.ConclusionsPre-existing dermatoses are the most frequent cause of erythroderma.Idiopathic erythroderma is liable to relapse,possibly associated with malignancies,and should be closely followed up.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of probiotics in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane library databases, the published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about probiotics(treatment group) versus placebo or healthy lifestyle(control group) in the treatment of NAFLD were collected from the inception to Oct. 10th, 2023. The quality of the included literature was evaluated and rated by Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 and GRADE tools. Meta-analysis and Egger’s test were carried out by using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS Overall 24 RCTs were included in this study, involving 1 391 patients with NAFLD. Meta-analysis showed that compared with control group, the levels of alanine aminotransferase [MD=-6.29, 95%CI (-9.35, -3.22), P<0.000 1], aspartate aminotransferase [MD=-4.89, 95%CI (-7.55, -2.23), P=0.000 3] and γ-glutamyl transferase [MD=-4.87, 95%CI (-6.54, -3.20), P<0.000 01], the liver stiffness measurement [MD=-0.36, 95%CI (-0.48, -0.24), P<0.000 01], the levels of triglycerides [MD=-0.22, 95%CI (-0.27, -0.16), P<0.000 01], total cholesterol [MD=-0.34, 95%CI (-0.44, -0.25), P<0.000 01] and insulin resistance assessed by homeostasis model [MD=-0.38, 95%CI (-0.63, -0.13), P=0.003] were all significantly decreased in the treatment group. However, there was no statistically significant difference of probiotics therapy in the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α [MD=-0.41, 95%CI (-1.29, 0.48), P=0.37], interleukin-6 [MD=0.39, 95%CI ( -0.10, 0.88), P=0.12], high- sensitivity C-reactive protein [MD=-0.30, 95%CI (-0.85,0.25), P=0.28], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [MD=0.03, 95%CI ( -0.01, 0.06), P=0.10] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [MD=-0.10, 95%CI (-0.27, 0.07), P=0.23] and body mass index [MD=0.07, 95%CI (-0.26, 0.40), P=0.68]. Subgroup analysis based on different intervention measures showed that the levels of γ-glutamyl transferase, liver stiffness measurement, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance in the synbiotic group were not significantly improved compared to the control group, with consistent results for the remaining outcomes. Egger’s test results showed no publication bias. CONCLUSIONS The probiotic therapy can regulate liver function indexes, liver stiffness measurement and insulin resistance levels in patients with NAFLD well.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with anti-angiogenic drugs for the treatment of unresectable primary liver cancer (PLC). METHODS Retrieved from Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, the Cochrane Library, Google, and Baidu Academic, randomized controlled trial (RCT) about TACE combined with anti-angiogenic drugs for the treatment of unresectable PLC were collected from the inception to May 27, 2024. After screening the literature, extracting data, and evaluating the quality of the literature, network meta-analysis was performed using R 4.2.2 and Stata 17.0. RESULTS A total of 44 RCT were included, involving 5 607 patients and 8 interventions. The network meta-analysis results showed that for prolonging median overall survival (mOS) and median progression- free survival (mPFS), TACE+apatinib had the best efficacy, with TACE+apatinib and TACE+sorafenib ranking as the top two. For improving objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR), TACE+donafenib had the best efficacy, with TACE+ donafenib and TACE+ lenvatinib ranking as the top two. In terms of safety, TACE+donafenib was the best, with TACE+donafenib and TACE+apatinib ranking as the top two. CONCLUSIONS TACE+apatinib and TACE+donafenib have good efficacy for patients with unresectable PLC, and TACE+donafenib has the best safety profile.
