Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of glucocorticoid versus intravenous injection of human immunoglobulin (IVIG) in treatment of with acute primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in children. Methods PubMed, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM), Chinese Journal Full Text Database (CNKI) and Wanfang database were searched. The bibliography was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and the target literatures were selected. The data were extracted and the quality of included literatures was evaluated. Revman 5 . 3 software was used to make meta-analysis. Results In 1500 papers searched, 8 papers met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that there was a statistical signiifcance in platelet count (PLT,>20 × 109/L) after being treated for 48 h between glucocorticoid group and IVIG group (RR=0 . 77 , 95%CI:0 . 67~0 . 89 ). In subgroup analysis, there were statistical signiifcance in methylprednisolone (MP) 30 mg/kg versus IVIG 1 g/(kg·d)× 2 d, and metacortandratin (PDN) 4 mg/kg versus IVIG 1 g/(kg·d)× 2 d (RR=0 . 66 , 95%CI:0 . 47-0 . 91;RR=0 . 79 , 95%CI:0 . 66-0 . 95 ). After treatment for 24 h and 72 h, the platelet count>20 × 109/L were signiifcantly different in glucocorticoid group and in IVIG group (RR=0 . 69 , 95%CI:0 . 53-0 . 91;RR=0 . 82 , 95%CI:0 . 74-0 . 90 ). Moreover, after treatment for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, the platelet count>50 × 109/L were signiifcantly different between glucocorticoid group and IVIG group (RR=0 . 38 ,95%CI:0 . 21-0 . 69;RR=0 . 53 , 95%CI:0 . 41-0 . 69;RR=0 . 80 , 95%CI:0 . 70-0 . 93 ). There was no difference in the incidence of splenic resection between two groups (RR=5 . 41 , 95%CI:0 . 95-30 . 74 , P=0 . 06 ). Conclusion The probability of platelet count to reach>20 × 109/L in the initial treatment with glucocorticoid of acute ITP patients were 32%lower than that with IVIG. With the initial therapeutic target being platelet count>50 × 109/L in 3 days, the effect of IVIG was better.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at point Neiguan on mouse myocardial hypertrophy.Methods Thirty-sixty healthy C57BL6 mice were randomized into blank, model and treatment groups, 12 rats each. In the treatment group, an acupuncture needle was inserted into point Neiguan and retained for 15 min, once daily. After nine days of treatment, the ratios of cardiac weight/tibial length were compared between the groups. Left ventricular myocardial tissues were processed by Masson trichrome staining in every group of mice. The differences in myocardial fiber arrangement and collagen fiber distribution between the groups were observed under the ordinary optical microscope in 100 times of field of vision. Sarcomere structure, myofibril arrangement, collagen fibers and mitochondria in injured myocardial tissues were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results Heart rate increased significantly in the model group and decreased significantly in the acupuncture group compared with the blank group. Cardiac weight and the ratios of cardiac weight/tibial length increased significantly in the model and acupuncture groups compared with the blank group (P<0.01) and decreased significantly in the acupuncture group compared with the model group (P<0.01). In the model group, myocardial tissues had compensatory hypertrophy with incontinuous status, and myocardial transverse striations had severe disorder/disruption, karyopyknosis appeared and cytoplasmic eosinophilic change became obvious in few of the rats. The results were better in the acupuncture group than in the model group. In the model group, part of myofibrils had focal fusion, interstitial collagen fibers proliferated and mitochondria had swelling and compensatory increase. The results were also better in the acupuncture group than in the model group.Conclusions Acupuncture at point Neiguan can reduce the production of collagen fibers and mitochondria, improve the arrangement of sarcomere structure and delay the progression of myocardial hypertrophy.
