Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) involving the orbit.Methods:We described a case and review the literature of EAF involving the orbit.Results:The literature review has shown 34 similar cases. Nineteen patients combined with other site involvement (17 cases had nasal involvement), whereas 15 had primary orbital involvement. Ocular swelling (18 cases) and epiphora (4 cases) were the most common initial presenting symptoms. The typical histopathologic findings include a perivascular, eosinophil-rich infiltrate and a "onion-skin" type of fibrosis concentrated around small vessels and all cases in this group conformed the above typical characteristics. In this series, 20 patients provided immunohistochemical results for IgG4, among them, 16 cases were positive while 4 cases were negative. No manifestations of obliterative phlebitis and storiform fibrosis were observed. The age, gender, and lesion locations (single or multiple) of the IgG4 staining positive group and the negative group were analyzed. There was no statistically significant difference in the age of onset, gender ratio and lesion the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients presented with ocular swelling, epiphora, with or without nasal lesions, EAF should be considered. The diagnosis of EAF is based largely on histopathologic findings. Although some cases were positive for IgG4 by immunohistochemistry, storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis is not seen in our series, which aid in distinguishing EAF from IgG4-related disease.

Objective:
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Chinese patent medicines and classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions were systematically reviewed from both Chinese and English journals published in 2023. A preliminary summary and evaluation were conducted on the generation and translation of clinical evidence for these treatments. This analysis aims to inform future research on clinical efficacy evaluation and guide the rational application of evidence.
Methods:
RCTs of Chinese patent medicines and classic traditional Chinese prescriptions published in 2023 were comprehensively retrieved from the Artificial Intelligence Clinical Evidence Database for Chinese Patent Medicine (AICED-CPM), with supplementary searches conducted in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The study characteristics and methodological quality of these RCTs were systematically analyzed and evaluated.
Results:
A total of 1 443 RCTs of Chinese patent medicines were included, comprising 1 399 Chinese articles and 44 English articles. Additionally, 334 RCTs of classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions were found, with 331 published in Chinese and 3 in English. 196 567 participants were included, covering 585 types of Chinese patent medicines (487 oral, 61 injectable, and 37 topical) and 179 classic traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The involved studies encompassed 22 types of diseases, with research primarily focusing on diseases of the circulatory system, the respiratory system, and the genitourinary system. The sample sizes ranged from 18 to 3 777 participants, and most studies were conducted at a single center. Methodologically, the implementation of allocation concealment and blinding remained insufficiently emphasized.
Conclusion
Overall, compared with 2022, both the number of RCT publications and their methodological quality have improved in 2023, with heightened attention to research on diseases of the genitourinary system. However, quality control and standardized management in the design and implementation processes still require enhancement to produce more high-quality clinical evidence and accelerate the translation and application of this evidence.

Rolling manipulation is one of the swing techniques with strong operational skills in massage therapy. This article summarized the biomechanical parameters and mechanism of the massage operation from multiple perspectives, including three-dimensional motion, force trajectory, dynamic parameters, force effect relationship, and mechanism. It is found that the massage operation could exert force in the vertical and horizontal directions of the body surface, and the movement trajectories of the front and back were generally symmetrical. The anterior force was approximately three times the retraction force, and the brachioradialis, pectoralis major, triceps, and deltoids were the main muscles that could exert force during manual manipulation. The method can have effects on hemodynamics, cellular anti-inflammatory effects, and improve the physiological function of tissues and organs. However, there is currently a lack of objective and unified norms and standards for the specific strength, frequency, and specific parameter combinations of massage methods, so the further improvement is still needed.

OBJECTIVE:This study comprehensively and quantitatively evaluates the effect of low-volume high-intensity interval training (LV-HIIT) on the prevention of cardiovascular disease in obese or overweight people through a meta-analysis,and further verifies the feasibility of LV-HIIT application in special populations such as obese people. METHODS:Literature addressing randomized controlled trials of LV-HIIT-related studies was searched in CNKI,PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane library,and EBSCO-SPORTD Exercise Science full-text database from database inception to February 2024. Screening,quality assessment and data extraction of included studies were performed by two researchers,and Meta-analyses of outcome indicators,including combined effect sizes,subgroup analyses,Leave-One-Out sensitivity analyses,as well as the publication of Egger's test and the plotting of funnel plots,were performed using the software Review Manager 5.4 and the software Stata 17.0. The protocol was registered with the International Prospective Registry for Systematic Reviews (CRD42024534409). RESULTS:(1) Finally,13 randomized controlled trials,including 349 subjects,were eligible and included,and the overall quality of the included literature was high. (2) LV-HIIT intervention significantly improved cardiorespiratory fitness[standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.65,95% confidence interval (CI):-0.87 to-0.43,P<0.05],systolic blood pressure (SMD=0.38,95% CI:0.11-0.65,P<0.05),diastolic blood pressure (SMD=0.42,95% CI:0.15-0.68,P<0.05),and body fat percentage (SMD=0.25,95% CI:0.02-0.49,P<0.05). (3) LV-HIIT and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) had similar interventional effects on cardiorespiratory fitness,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,body fat percentage,standardized body weight,body mass index,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein,and total cholesterol in people with overweight or obesity (P>0.05),but MICT was better than LV-HIIT in improving triglyceride level (SMD=-0.30,95% CI:-0.57 to-0.02,P<0.05). (4) The results of subgroup analyses further showed that LV-HIIT and MICT interventions showed similar improvements in each index. CONCLUSION:Current evidence suggests that LV-HIIT can effectively enhance cardiopulmonary adaptive capacity and promote fat loss and blood pressure regulation in overweight or obese people,and the improvements are similar to those of MICT. Short-term LV-HIIT is more time-effective than long-term MICT. Future studies are recommended to determine the optimal LV-HIIT exercise prescription for overweight or obese populations.
