This study was aimed to make a systematic and comprehensive evaluation on clinical efficacy and safety of vertigo treatment with Tian-Ma Gou-Teng (TMGT) Decoction. Articles had been searched in the Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Chongqing VIP Chinese Scientific Journals Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database Online, Wanfang Data and Chinese Medicine Journal Literature Database for randomized controlled trials (RCT) on vertigo treatment with TMGT Decoction. The data retrieval time was from the establishment time of the database until present. Two investigators screened literatures, extracted data and assessed quality according to inclusion and exclusion criteria independently. RevMan5.0.2 was used in the meta-analysis. The results showed that a total of 33 trials were involved, which covered 2922 vertigo cases. The meta-analysis showed that from the aspect of clinical effectiveness, the comparison between Chinese medicine treatment group and modern medicine treatment group (OR = 3.67, 95% CI [2.66~5.07]), comparison between integrative medicine treatment group and modern medicine treatment group (OR = 3.28, 95% CI [2.33~4.62]), the comparison between Chinese medicine combined with other method (such as acupuncture, Tuina) treatment group and other Chinese medicine treatment group (OR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.34~3.91]), therapeutic effect in the experimental group was better than the control group. For the aspect of relapse rate, TMGT Decoction in the treatment of vertigo was better than the control group (OR = 0.27, 95% CI [0.12~0.65]). In the aspect of adverse reactions, TMGT Decoction in the treatment of vertigo was better than the control group (OR = 0.40, 95% CI [0.13~1.24]). For aspects of other indicators such as quality of life, no further analysis was conducted since there was no complete reported literature. It was concluded that the system evaluation results showed that compared with other methods, TMGT Decoction has better clinical efficacy and low recurrence rate, but safety needs to be further eualuated. However, due to the quality of included studies was not high, current evidences cannot be determined to be fully applicable in the clinical practice. But its efficacy advantages are worthy of further research. It especially requires high quality multi-center, large sample, double-blind, RCTs to verify.

Objective To investigate the incidence of serum monoclonal immunoglobulins (McIg) in B-cell chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (B-CLPD) and the clinical significance of McIg in B-CLPD and its possible sources.Methods A total of 1 147 patients with B-CLPD treated from May 2006 to May 2015 were enrolled into this retrospective study.The incidence of McIg and the relationship between McIg and prognostic factors in patients with B-CLPD were analyzed.Results Out of 1 147 B-CLPD patients,there were 164 patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM),and among them,McIg was detected in 140 cases (85.4 %).In the remaining 983 patients with B-CLPD,monoclonal Ig was detected in 50 (5.1%) patients.Most of McIg in 2 groups were IgM paraprotein.The levels of IgM paraprotein of the LPL/WM group,non-LPL./WM group and McIg-negative patients were (48.88±33.42) g/L,(27.9±15.23) g/L and (2.75±1.21) g/L,respectively,the difference was statistical significance (P=0.000);the level of IgM paraprotein in LPL/WM group was significantly higher than that in non-LPL/WM group (P=0.000).The level of paraprotein decreased significantly when the patients got complete response after therapy (P=0.001,0.048,respectively).The incidence of serum McIg was higher in the group with complex karyotype (P =0.016) andwith high level of β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) (P =0.001).In the 47 non-LPL/WM patients with positive McIg,serum McIg in 38 (80.9 %) patients were expressed in a pattern consistent with the distribution of tumor cells (P < 0.005).Most of the light chain subtype of the McIg were consistent with the light chain subtype of the membrane immunoglobulin on the tumor cells.Conclusions Some non-LPL/WM B-CLPD patients also have serum McIg,and it could have certain relevance with the prognosis of B-CLPD.Moreover,the McIg may be secreted by tumor cells or those derived from the same progenitor cells with tumor cells.

Accurate classification of the acetabular injuries and appropriate treatment plan are great challenges for orthopedic surgeons because of the irregular anatomical structure of the acetabulum and aggregation of important vessels and nerves around it. Letournel-Judet classification system has been widely applied to classify acetabular fractures. However, there are several limitations, including incomplete inclusion of fracture types, difficulty in understanding and insufficient guidance for surgical treatment, etc. Serious complications such as traumatic arthritis are common due to wrong classification and diagnosis and improper selection of surgical strategy, which brings a heavy burden to the society and families. Three-column classification, based on anatomic characteristics, has advantages of containing more fracture types and being easy to understand, etc. To solve the problems existing in the diagnosis and treatment process based on Letournel-Judet classification, achieve accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with acetabular fractures, and obtain satisfactory prognosis, the Orthopedic Trauma Emergency Center of Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University and the Trauma Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate the Expert consensus on the accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures based on three-column classification ( version 2023) in terms of principles of evidence-based medicine. Based on the three-column classification, 15 recommendations were proposed, covering the diagnosis, treatment, complication prevention and management, etc, so as to provide reference for accurate diagnosis and treatment of acetabular fractures.

Objective:
To detect the high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) expression in renal carcinoma, and to explore the relationship with clinicopathological features and its significance for prognosis.
Methods:
50 renal carcinoma specimens, 50 corresponding adjacent normal kidney tissue samples, and 40 benign renal tumor specimens were used in this study. The expressions of HMGA2 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical assays, and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis in the renal carcinoma patients was analyzed.
Results:
The RT-PCR results showed that the relative expression levels of HMGA2 mRNA in the renal carcinoma, benign renal tumor tissues, and adjacent normal renal tissues were 0.84±0.23, 0.19± 0.06 and 0.08±0.04, respectively, and the expression in renal carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than those of the other 2 groups (
