Objective:To re-evaluate the quality of methodology and outcome indicators for systematic reviews/meta-analysis about the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting(CINV).Methods:The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM for systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention in the prevention or treatment of CINV from inception to May 2021 were searched. The methodological quality of the included literature was evaluated by the AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation tool, and the quality of the evidence for the outcome indicators was evaluated by GRADE system.Results:A total of 24 articles were included, 7 of the AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation results were low-level, and the remaining 17 were all very low-level. The main defects were the lack of preliminary study design scheme, incomplete search strategy, no list of excluded literature, and no report of included research funding sources, etc. Only 1 of the outcome indicators was classified as high quality, 7 were classified as intermediate, and the rest were low or very low quality.Conclusions:Methodological quality and strength of evidence of systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention for CINV are generally low, and the reliability of research results is poor. It is necessary to design scientific and rigorous high-quality RCTs and systematic reviews to further verify the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions in the future.

Objective:To retrieve, appraise and summarize the best evidence to prevent accidental extubation of peripheral venous catheters in adults.Methods:According to the "6S" evidence model, computer evidence retrieval was carried out. Search relevant domestic and foreign guideline networks and databases to collect relevant evidences, including clinical decision, guidelines, evidence summary, systematic reviews, etc. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to September 2021. Two researchers conducted independent literature search, quality evaluation, evidence extraction and summary. If there is a disagreement between the two, the third party shall be invited to make a ruling.Result:A total of 8 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 1 guideline, 2 evidence summaries, 3 RCTs and 1 expert consensus. The 35 best evidences were summarized from six aspects: education and training, catheter placement selection, dressing selection, catheter fixation, catheter maintenance and timing of extubation.Conclusion:This summary of evidence provided evidence-based evidence for the standardized management of clinical prevention of accidental extubation of peripheral venous catheters. However, some of evidence is lacking and of poor quality. In the future, the evidence should be used cautiously according to the clinical situation and patient conditions.

Objective:To study the effects of early breastfeeding volume on neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and feeding intolerance in very low birth weight infants.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 275 cases of very low birth weight infants (birth weight<1 500 g) born in Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital from June 2017 to May 2018. Based on whether breastfeeding or not and the ratio of breast milk intake over the total volume of intake within two weeks after birth, they were divided into three groups: breast milk intake>50% group (>50% group, n=199), breast milk intake≤50% group (≤50% group, n=55) and formula group ( n=21). Differences in the incidence of NEC and feeding intolerance among the three groups were analyzed using Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test). Effects of breast milk intake on the incidence of NEC and feeding intolerance were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results:The incidence of NEC in the >50% group, ≤50% group and formula group was 1.5% (3/199), 27.3% (15/55) and 9.5% (2/21), respectively ( P<0.01), and the incidence of feeding intolerance was 17.6% (35/199), 56.4% (31/55) and 28.6% (6/21), respectively ( χ2=34.826, P<0.01). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the >50% group, the risk of NEC in the≤50% and formula group increased ( OR=24.500, 95% CI: 6.755-85.594; OR=6.877, 95% CI: 1.081-43.744); that of feeding intolerance increased in the≤50% group ( OR=6.316, 95% CI: 3.293-12.113). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the >50% group, the risk of NEC in the≤50% and formula groups increased ( OR=28.452, 95% CI: 7.280-111.195; OR=8.610, 95% CI: 1.262-58.766); that of feeding intolerance increased in the≤50% group ( OR=7.207, 95% CI: 3.601-14.425). Conclusions:Breastfeeding accounting for more than half of the total volume of intake within two weeks after birth may reduce the incidence of feeding intolerance and NEC in very low birth weight infants.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and adverse reactions of fractional radiofrequency (FRF) in the treatment of facial acne scars.Methods:Fifty-seven patients with facial acne depressed scars were enrolled with the nature of Dreno scars as the diagnostic criteria. They were treated with lattice radiofrequency. The treatment heads were arranged in a matrix with a treatment area of 1.2 cm ×1.2 cm, an energy density of 80-100 mJ/pin, and an interval of five-seven once a week. And they were followed up and evaluated for the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions 6 months after the last treatment. Scoring was carried out according to the ECCA weight scores, and the efficacy judged according to complete improvement, significant improvement, moderate improvement, and mild improvement.Results:After 3 times of fractional radiofrequency treatment of 57 patients, the effective rate was 44 cases, accounting for 77.2%; the ECCA weight scores before and after treatment were 65.9±25.0 and 47.7±20.2, respectively; the difference was statistically significant ( t=13.92, P<0.001); At the same time of improvement, 32 cases of patients' complexion, fineness of pores, and skin elasticity had been improved to varying degrees, and patient satisfaction was high. Adverse reactions were mainly mild burning sensation, erythema and edema, and some patients had pale yellow exudate, etc, which could be relieved in 5-7 days. Conclusions:Fractional radiofrequency treatment of facial acne scars is safe and effective, with short recovery period, few adverse reactions and high patient satisfaction.

Objective:To compare efficacy and safety of 308-nm SQ light-emitting diode (LED) light versus 308-nm excimer light in the treatment of facial vitiligo.Methods:Patients with stable facial vitiligo were retrospectively collected from Department of Physical Therapy, Hospital of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from June 2018 to June 2020, who received treatment with 308-nm SQ LED light (LED group) or 308-nm excimer light (excimer light group). The treatment was performed once or twice a week, and patients who had received more than 8 sessions of treatment were included in the analysis of efficacy and safety. Statistical analysis was carried out by using chi-square test.Results:Totally, 68 patients with 90 lesions were enrolled into the LED group, including 36 males and 32 females, aged 25.01 ± 13.37 years; 20 patients with 28 lesions were enrolled into the excimer light group, including 13 males and 7 females, aged 27.15 ± 14.30 years. After 8 and 16 sessions of treatment, there was no significant difference in the response rate between the LED group (23.33%, 46.67%, respectively) and excimer light group (14.29%, 46.43%, χ2 = 1.05, < 0.001, respectively, both P > 0.05). During the treatment, 36 (52.94%) patients in the LED group developed persistent erythema, 17 (85%) in the excimer light group developed persistent erythema or blisters. The incidence of adverse reactions was significantly lower in the LED group than in the excimer light group ( χ2 = 16.43, P < 0.001) . Conclusion:Compared with the 308-nm excimer light, the 308-nm SQ LED light showed similar effect but higher safety for the treatment of facial vitiligo.
