Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of regional citrate and heparin anticoagulation in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill patients by Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing the efficacy and safety of regional citrate and heparin anticoagulation in English or Chinese were retrieved from Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Database by electronic and manual search before December 2019. The primary outcomes were mortality and circuit life span, and the secondary outcomes were complications such as bleeding, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), metabolic alkalosis, and hypocalcemia. Meta-analysis of the literature was conducted using the methods recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan 5.3 and funnel plot was used to analyze whether there was publication bias in each study.Results:Sixteen RCTs with 1 229 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in mortality between the regional citrate and heparin anticoagulation in CRRT [relative risk ( RR) = 0.95, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.83-1.09, P = 0.47]. The circuit life span in the regional citrate group was 15.37 hours (95% CI was 10.09-20.65, P < 0.000 01) longer than that in the heparin group. Bleeding risk ( RR = 0.29, 95% CI was 0.19-0.44, P < 0.000 01) and HIT ( RR = 0.35, 95% CI was 0.16-0.74, P = 0.006) were lower in the regional citrate group than those in the heparin group, whereas the regional citrate anticoagulation could cause hypocalcemia ( RR = 4.67, 95% CI was 1.88-11.60, P = 0.000 9). There was no significant difference in the incidence of metabolic alkalosis between the two groups ( RR = 0.76, 95% CI was 0.42-1.37, P = 0.36). The funnel plot showed that there were no significant publication bias in the included studies. Conclusion:Regional citrate anticoagulation could significantly prolong circuit life span and decrease the risk of bleeding, and should be preferentially selected for the CRRT anticoagulation in critically ill patients.

Objective To compare and study the two kinds of quality control methodologies related to intelligent quality management system ( iQM) and traditional quality control , and the quality control performance of iQM equivalent to traditional quality control were evaluated , ensuring the accuracy of the results of blood gas testing.Methods Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University , Beijing Tiantan Hospital of Capital Medical University , Shanghai Longhua Hospital of Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine, and Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital, these 4 medical institutions were selected to implement this study.During the period from June 2016 to December 2016, in the routine detection of total 3 712 specimen, the iQM and traditional quality control modes were used simultaneously to calculate the mean values of all blood gas parameters quality controls , SD, CV (%) and Sigma values, to evaluate the quality control performance and difference of the two quality control modes .Results During the process of testing blood gas samples from 3 712 specimen in 4 hospitals, iQM process control solution ( PCS) A, B, C ran 1 089, 7 678 and 154 quality control samples respectively , and 732 external quality control samples were run by traditional quality control mode .Considering the most sensitive parameters of blood gas testing pO 2, iQM PCS A, B, C′s Sigma value are higher than 8, however, the traditional quality control′s Sigma value are less than 6; For parameters pCO2, pO2and Na+, there exists significant difference between two quality control methods (P=0.004 8,P=0.000 1,P=0.004 4,P<0.01), other parameters pH, K+, Ca ++, Glu, Lac and Hct, there exists no significant difference between two quality control methods (P=0.250 6, P=0.062 3,P=0.034 0,P=0.346 9,P=0.186 3,P=0.823 1,P>0.01).Totally 22 errors detected by iQM, includes 14 micro-clots and 8 interferences samples, which were not detected by traditional quality control .Conclusions The error in blood gas analysis mainly comes from the pre-analytical phase.iQM enhanced specimen inspection capabilities and make up for the inability of traditional quality control to monitor the quality of specimens , enabling full-scale, real-time, and dynamic monitoring of each specimen , powerful error detection capabilities , and automatic error correction capabilities . Besides, automatic documentation saves staff much time.The system can effectively ensure the accuracy of blood gas test results, meet the quality requirements of related laws and regulations and related industry standards , and also can meet the clinical intended use , providing new ideas for POCT quality management and improvement.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in adult influenza patients and to provide a basis for the TCM syndrome differentiation of influenza.Methods:The CNKI, CBM, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library databases were searched to collect cross -sectional studies on the distribution pattern of TCM syndromes in adult patients with influenza. The risk of bias assessment tool for cross -sectional studies developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) evidence -based health care center was used to evaluate the literature quality, and the Stata 15.1 software was used to conduct a Meta -analysis of the pooled effect sizes of the included studies. Results:A total of 11 studies with 4 367 influenza patients were included. Quality assessment results of JBI showed that the risk bias was higher in the sample size calculation, and the description of sampling modalities and response rate was unclear. There were 17 influenza syndromes after specification, and a single group rate Meta -analysis was performed of the syndromes with ≥ 50 incident cases showed that there were 9 syndromes with an incidence ≥ 10% and statistical significance, the top 5 syndromes were syndrome of wind and heat invading the defense [ n = 1 583, RATE = 34.3%, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 22.2%-46.3%], syndrome of exterior cold and interior heat ( n = 1 122, RATE = 36.1%, 95% CI was 21.2%-51.1%), syndrome of wind -cold fettering the exterior ( n = 860, RATE = 19.4%, 95% CI was 10.7%-28.0%), syndrome of heat and toxin in the lung ( n = 217, RATE = 17.1%, 95% CI was 9.1%-25.0%), and syndrome of disease involving both defense phase and qi phase ( n = 184, RATE = 38.8%, 95% CI was 14.2%-63.5%). The results of the subgroup analysis in different geographical regions showed that the frequency of distribution of syndrome of wind and heat invading the defense and heat and toxin in the lung was higher in the South (RATE: 36.5%, 18.6%) than in the North (RATE: 30.9%, 15.4%), and the frequency of distribution of syndrome of wind -cold fettering the exterior and exterior cold and interior heat in the North (RATE: 23.8%, 40.1%) was higher than that in the South (RATE: 15.7%, 32.3%). Conclusions:There are 9 common TCM syndromes of influenza, including wind and heat invading the defense syndrome, exterior cold and interior heat syndrome, wind -cold fettering the exterior syndrome, heat and toxin in the lung syndrome, disease involving both defense phase and qi phase syndrome, wind and heat complicated by dampnessinvading the surface syndrome, wind and cold complicated by dampnessinvading the surface syndrome, defense phase syndrome and dampness and heatinvading the surface syndrome, which can provide a reference for the TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment of influenza.
