Objective To assess the quality of literature on randomized or semirandomized clinical controlled trials of fire needling treatment for rheumatoid arthritis.Method Acomputer search assisted by a manual search was conducted of CBM (1979—2015), CNKI (1979—2015), VIP (1989—2015),Wanfang digital periodical group(1998—2015), PubMed (1966—2015), EMbase (1980—2015) and Cochrane Library (Issue4, 2015).Randomizedor semir and omized clinical controlled trials were included.Two reviewers extracted data independently and checked them each other.The methodological quality of research design, diagnostic and inclusion/exclusion criteria, intervening measures for fire needling/control group,efficacy evaluation criteriaand observation time points, and adverse reaction reporting were assessed according toCochrane Reviewers' Handbook 4.2.8.Ameta-analysis was made of homogeneity studies.The GRADE approach ratedsystem outcomes.ResultA total of sevenr and omized controlled trialswere included.Four included studies made a comparison between fire needling andmedication (analgesic+ antirheumatic) groups andthere was no statistically significant difference in the efficacy rate [RR=1.22, 95%CI(0.97, 1.52)].GRADE ratingwas very low.Internationally accepted diagnostic criteria and general evaluation methodswere still not used universally.Conclusion The current clinical reports show that fire needling treatment has some effect on rheumatoid arthritis, but it still needs related evidence support.
3.Treatment of minimal hepatic encephalopathy
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(10):1094-1096
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE)is defined as early hepatic encephalopathy without grossly evident neurologic abnormali-ties,but with cognitive deficits that can be revealed by psychometric testing.However,numerous studies have shown a lack of obvious clini-cal manifestations in MHE patients,and there is no international unified diagnostic gold standard for this disease.Affected patients′quality of life and ability to work are markedly impaired,and some even gradually progress to symptomatic hepatic encephalopathy.The treatment methods for MHE mainly include eliminating the precipitating factors for this disease and medication.This review presents the options for treatment of MHE and gives an objective evaluation of the efficacy of each treatment scheme.Currently,several treatment methods are used together,but no studies have demonstrated that combined use of treatment methods can improve the treatment outcome.
4.Study in preparation of ofloxaxcin gelatin microspheres
Tianjin Medical Journal 2015;(10):1140-1143
Objective To study the optimum condition of preparing ofloxaxcin gelatin microspheres. Methods Oflox?axcin gelatin microspheres were manufactured using the emulsion chemical-cross linking method and gelatin was employed as carrier, liquid paraffin as oil phase, Span80 as emulsifier, . The loading capability and entrapment efficiency of the ofloxax?cin gelatin microspheres were determined by UV Spectrophotometry. The effect of gelatin concentration, oil/water volume ra?tio, gelatin/ofloxaxcin mass ratio and volume fraction of span80 on drug loading capability and entrapment efficiency were in?vestigated. The optimum proportions of each component was obtained by L9 (34) orthogonal test, based on the above 4 factors, using sum of drug loading capability and entrapment efficiency as evaluation index. Results The optimum condition for manufacturing high quality ofloxaxcin gelatin microspheres used 20%of gelatin concentration,water/oil volume ratio at 3.5∶1, gelatin/ofloxaxcin mass ratio at 1∶1, the span 80 volume fraction of 2.5%. Conclusion Drug loading capability and entrap?ment efficiency of the ofloxaxcin gelatin microspheres reached 80%using this manufacture technology therefore the prepara?tion was stable and feasible.
5.Postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder: prevalence, etiology and clinical characteristics
Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(5):477-480
Objective To study on postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder at home and abroad,and to provide new idea of diagnosis,evaluation and treatment on postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder.Method A search using Medline,Embase,EBSCO,Cochrane Library,Web of Science (ISI),Pubmed databases and Google Scholar was carried out using the key words:obsessive compulsive disorder (and derivatives),perinatal,pregnancy,postnatal,postpartum,mothers (and derivatives),anxiety disorders and subtypes. These articles and their references were reviewed.Results Twenty-seven papers were incorporated,but no Chinese paper.The life prevalence of postpartum OCD was 2.3%-11.0%.The most common obsessions were aggressive,contamination and miscellaneous,and compulsion for washing/cleaning and checking.Cognitive behavioural therapy and SSRIs have been suggested as a fist-line treatment of postpartum OCD.Conclusion OCD is more prevalent in the postpartum period.The evidence that OCD in the postpartum period presents a distinctive clinical picture with specific symptomatology and course is more compelling.Collaborative,international,prospective studies that take into account the methodological and definitional issues raised in this review are necessary to provide clarification.
6.Relationship between thyroid autoantibodies and pregnancy outcome of infertility women after assisted reproductive technology:a systematic review
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(24):4011-4014
Objective To evaluate the relationship between thyroid autoantibodies (ATA)and pregnancy outcome of infertility women after assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods Relevant studies were identified by searching PubMed, Cochrane library, CNKI and CBM. Results 7 studies were appropriate for meta-analyses and total 4165 patiens were included. Meta analysis shows that the pregnancy rate difference between ATA positive patients and controls have no significance, but the miscarriage rate is greater significant between them. In the meta-analyses, the presence of thyroid antibodies was associated with an increased risk of miscarriage (OR 1.85, 95%CI 1.32~2.59), compared with the absence of thyroid antibodies. Conclusion Pregnant women with thyroid antibodies have an increased risk of complications, especially miscarriage. Future research,should focus on the treatment and thyroid disease on pregnancy outcome.
