Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of carbon dioxide (CO2) versus high-frequency electroacupuncture based on the assistance of drilling and blunt dissection in the treatment of steatocystoma multiplex.Methods A randomized,self-controlled study was performed in 15 patients.The median line of the body served as the dividing line,and the lesions on the two sides of the median line of the body were randomly divided into 2 groups to be treated with CO2 laser or high-frequency electroacupuncture,which left micropathways into the cyst cavity.After the above treatment,contents in the cysts were squeezed out or drawn out with a mosquito clamp,and the cysts were bluntly dissected.The decrustation time,erythema subsiding time,adverse reactions and recurrence were compared among lesions at different sites or with different sizes.Results For the lesions at the same sites or with similar sizes after treatment,the decrustation time and erythema subsiding time were both significantly shorter in the CO2 laser group than in the high-frequency electroacupuncture group (both P < 0.05).There were significant differences in the decrustation time and erythema subsiding time among lesions at different sites or with different sizes (all P < 0.05).Mild pain occurred in the 2 groups,and no hematoma or secondary infection occurred.There were significant differences in the incidence of scar formation or pigmentation between the 2 groups (both P < 0.05).During the follow-up of 6-18 months,relapse occurred in 1 patient in each group.Conclusion Compared with the high-frequency electroacupuncture,CO2 laser assisted by drilling and blunt dissection shows better efficacy in the treatment of steatocystoma multiplex,and it can remove lesions at various sites at one time.

Objective:To systematically review the impact of resistance training on body weight and body composition in breast cancer patients.Methods:Randomized controlled trials of the impact of resistance training on body weight and body composition in breast cancer patients were searched through computers in Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , China Biomedical Literature Database, VIP and WanFang Data. The search period was from the establishment of the database to April 20, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the article, evaluated the quality of the article, and extracted the data. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 11 articles were included, including 1 077 patients with breast cancer. Meta-analysis results showed that resistance training could reduce body fat rate [ SMD=-1.21, 95% CI (-1.92, -0.50) , P<0.01] , fat mass [ SMD=-0.64, 95% CI (-1.13, -0.14) , P<0.01] , and increase lean body weight [ SMD=1.31, 95% CI (0.54, 2.07) , P<0.01] in breast cancer patients compared with conventional nursing or flexibility training, but there was no statistical difference in the impact on body weight ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Resistance training can improve the body composition, and has positive impacts on the body weight and body composition in breast cancer patients.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the impact of sexual health education on the sexual quality of life, sexual satisfaction, anxiety, depression and the quality of life in breast cancer patients.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, and SinoMed databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the effects of sexual health education on sexual quality of life, sexual satisfaction, anxiety, depression and quality of life in breast cancer patients. The search covered studies up until November 8, 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the quality of the RCTs using the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 risk of bias tool. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 and R4.3.2 software.Results:A total of 17 articles with 1 695 patients were included. Sexual health education significantly improved sexual quality of life [ SMD=1.25, 95% CI (0.65, 1.84), P<0.05], sexual satisfaction [ SMD=0.85, 95% CI (0.53, 1.17), P<0.05], depression [ SMD=-1.16, 95% CI (-2.01, -0.30), P<0.05], and the quality of life [ SMD=1.53, 95% CI (0.09, 2.97), P<0.05] in breast cancer patients. However, the improvement in anxiety was not statistically significant [ SMD=-0.88, 95% CI (-2.06, 0.29), P<0.05] . Conclusions:Sexual health education can improve the sexual quality of life, sexual satisfaction, depression, and the quality of life in breast cancer patients. However, its impact on anxiety remains unclear, possibly due to the limited number of studies. Future RCTs should further explore the effect of sexual health education on anxiety in this population.
