OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of Biyuan tongqiao granules combined with Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS: Retrieved from Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane library, CNKI, CBM, VIP and Wanfang database, RCTs about Biyuan tongqiao granules combined with Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray (trial group) versus Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray (control group) in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis were collected during database establishment to Dec. 8th, 2018. After data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane bias risk evaluation tool 5.1.0, Meta-analysis was performed for total response rate, nasal mucociliary transmission rate (MTR), the levels of IL-5 and IL-8 in nasal secretion, SNOT-20 score, VAS score, Lund-Mackey nasal sinus CT score, the incidence of ADR (nausea, rash) by using Rev Man 5.3 software. TSA 0.9 software was used for trial sequential analysis(TSA). RESULTS: A total of 9 RCTs were included, involving 998 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that total clinical response rate [RR=1.20,95%CI(1.14,1.26),P<0.001] of trial group was significantly higher than that of control group; MTR [MD=-231.74,95%CI(-291.89,-171.58),P<0.001], IL-5 [MD=-0.86,95%CI(-1.37, -0.35),P<0.001] and IL-8 [MD=-0.50,95%CI(-0.76, -0.25),P<0.001] levels of trial group were significantly lower than those of control group. SNOT-20 score, VAS score and Lund-Mackey nasal sinus CT score of trial group were all lower than those of control group, with statistical significance (P<0.001). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of nausea [RR=0.57,95%CI(0.17,1.92),P=0.37] or rash [RR=2.25,95%CI(0.70,7.20),P=0.17] between 2 groups. TSA analysis showed that the evidence for therapeutic efficacy of Biyuan tongqiao granules combined with Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis was reliable. CONCLUSIONS: Biyuan tongqiao granules combined with Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray is better than Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray alone in improving total response rate of Biyuan tongqiao granules combined with Triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis, reducing MTR, the levels of IL-5 and IL-8, and improving SNOT-20 score, VAS score and Lund-Mackey nasal sinus CT score, without increasing the incidence of nausea, rash.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate clinical efficacy of Guanxin shutong capsule (GSC) in the adjuvant treatment of unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment of UAP. METHODS: Retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database, randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about routine treatment (trial group) of GSC combined with western medicine versus western medicine routine treatment (control group) in the treatment of UAP were collected during database establishment to Oct. 11th , 2018. After data extraction of included literatures and quality evaluation with Cochrane bias risk evaluation tool 5.1.0, Meta-analysis of total response rate of angina pectoris, total response rate of ECG, blood lipid levels (TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG), the level of hs-CRP were performed by using Rev Man 5.2 statistical software. TSA 0.9 software was used for trial sequential analysis (TSA) of the total response rate of angina pectoris and response rate of ECG. RESULTS: A total of 11 RCTs were included, involving 946 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed that total response rate of angina pectoris [RR=1.24,95%CI(1.16,1.32),P<0.001] and total response rate of ECG [RR=1.22,95%CI(1.11,1.34),P<0.001] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. The improvement of TC [SMD=-1.55,95%CI(-1.81,-1.29),P<0.001], TG [SMD=-0.84,95%CI(-1.08,-0.60),P<0.001], HDL-C [SMD=0.15,95%CI(0.06,0.25),P=0.001], LDL-C [SMD=-0.62,95%CI(-0.76,-0.48),P<0.001] and hs-CRP [SMD=-2.54,95%CI(-3.88,-1.88),P<0.001] in trial group were better than control group. TSA analysis showed that the evidence of Meta-analysis was reliable. CONCLUSIONS: GSC combined with western medicine routine treatment can improve total response rate of angina pectoris, total response rate of ECG, blood lipid and hs-CRP level of UAP patients.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Xingpi yang’er granules(XYG) combined with Clostridium butyricum live powder (CBLP) in the treatment of pediatric dyspeptic diarrhea, and provide evidence-based reference for clinical medication. METHODS: Retrieved from Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about XYG combined with CBLP(trial group)vs. CBLP alone(control group)in the treatment of pediatric dyspeptic diarrhea were collected. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluator manual 5.1.0 bias risk evaluation tool, Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software. TSA 0.9 software was used for trail sequential analysis. RESULTS: A total of 8 RCTs with 857 participants were included. Total response rate of trial group [RR=1.20,95%CI(1.13,1.28),P<0.000 01] was significantly higher than that of control group. Abdominal pain relief time [MD=-1.18,95%CI(-1.42,-0.94),P<0.000 01], abdominal distension relief time [MD=-1.32, 95%CI(-1.94,-0.70),P<0.000 1], diarrhea relief time [MD=-2.07, 95%CI(-2.38,-1.76),P<0.000 01], the time of stool traits returned to normal[MD=-2.16,95%CI(-2.43,-1.88), P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly shorter than control group. The stool frequency [MD=-1.72,95%CI(-2.18,-1.24), P<0.000 01] in trial group were significantly less than control group. The incidence of ADR in trial group was significantly lower than control group (P<0.05), or there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05), or no significant ADR was founded in 2 groups. Trial sequential analysis showed that the evidence of total response rate of XYG combined with CBLP in the treatment of pediatric dyspeptic diarrhea was accurate. CONCLUSIONS: XYG combined with CBLP is effective and safe for pediatric dyspeptic diarrhea.
