The QUOROM statement means a set of quality standards of Meta analysis report. It comprises a checklist and a flowchart for reporting a Meta analysis. They are primarily used in writing, reviewing or evaluating reports of Meta analysis for simple two group, parallel RCTs. The statement is a continually evolving document. A few international medical journals have endorsed the QUOROM statement and require authors submitting manuscripts for publication to include all the information on the checklist and flowchart of QUOROM statement. Based on introducing the background, processes of forming QUOROM statement and reviewing the contents and requirements of QUOROM, we prepare this paper, hoping to improve the quality of Meta analysis report for randomized controlled clinical trials in our country. Some comments and suggestions are given at the same time.

Objective The aim of this study is to identify association between increased serum activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and metabolic parameters in non-alcoholic population of north China. Methods A total of 5351 subjects who came to visit Yuquan Hospital of Tsinghua University for health examinations during May to December 2007 were divided into two groups based on their serum ALT activities, one with equal to or more than 40 U/L and the other with less than 40. Anthropometric data, blood pressure, serum ALT, serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-dense lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-dense lipoprotein-cbolesterol (LDL-C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were measured for all of them. Results Body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and FBG were significantly different between the two groups. BMI, TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and FBG all associated with increased ALT both in males and females. DBP associated with increased ALT in males and SBP with it in females, logistic regression analysis showed that male, younger age, raised BMI, TG, TC, FBG and reduced HDL-C were strongly associated with increased serum ALT. Conclusions Results showed that metabolic disturbance such as obesity, hypertension, dyalipidemia, hyperglycemia, and so on associated with increased ALT in non-alcoholic population of north China.

Objective: To compare the efifcacy and safety of circumferential pulmonary vein antecourt isolation (CPVAI) ablation and stepwise linear (SL) ablation in treating the patients with atrial ifbrillation (AF) Methods: A total of 136 AF patients with catheter ablation under EnSite 3000 guidance in our hospital were retrospectively summarized. The patients included 93 paroxysmal AF and 43 persistent AF and divided into 4 groups. Paroxysmal AF with CPVAI ablation,n=45, Paroxysmal AF with SL ablation,n=48 and persistent AF with CPVAI ablation, n=18, persistent AF with SL ablation,n=25. The differences of left atrium diameter, ablation time, X-ray exposure time, the success rate and complication were compared among different groups. Results: For 12 months follow-up study, the success rate and complication were similar between 2 ablation methods for treating both Paroxysmal AF and persistent AF patients. For Paroxysmal AF patients, both ablation methods could effectively reduce left atrium diameter,P<0.01. The SL ablation had less procedural time than CPVAI ablation,P<0.01, while the X-ray exposure time was similar between 2 ablation methods. Conclusion: Both CPVAI and SL ablation methods were effective and safe for treating AF patients.
