Objective:To evaluate the incidence, clinical features, factors affecting initial diagnosis, efficacy, and safety of therapy and prognosis of small intestinal Dieulafoy lesions (DL).Methods:Clinical data including clinical background, diagnosis, and treatment details of patients who were admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Air Force Medical Center, for suspected small bowel bleeding, diagnosed as having small bowel DL and treated with balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) were retrospectively analyzed from November 2017 to March 2024.Results:Among 800 patients, 30 cases (3.75%, 30/800, 17 males and 13 females) were diagnosed as having small intestine DL with the mean age of 60.90 years. Clinical symptoms included melena (56.67%, 17/30), hematochezia (43.33%, 13/30), and hemodynamic instability (30.00%, 9/30). Active bleeding occurred in 23 (76.67%) patients. Comorbidities existed in 70.00% (21/30) and 33.33% (10/30) used long-term antithrombotic agents. Diagnosis was confirmed after a single BAE in 63.33% (19/30) and after multiple BAEs (mean 1.6 procedures) in 36.67% (11/30). Lesions were predominantly located at jejunal. All patients achieved successful treatment with a single BAE procedure. The median follow-up period was 12.25 months (range: 5.25-23.00 months). Five cases (16.67%) experienced recurrent bleeding, with one case transfered to surgical intervention. Two cases (6.67%) reported post-operative symptoms of dizziness and fatigue, which resolved after symptomatic management. Multivariate analysis showed that long-term oral anticoagulant therapy ( OR=0.06, 95% CI: 0.01-0.73) was an independent predictor of single-session diagnosis. Conclusion:Small intestinal DL is rare and challenging to diagnose. Antithrombotic therapy may facilitate the diagnosis of DL at the first BAE. Jejunal localization is common, and combined endoscopic therapy (including clipping) is effective and safe.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus.Methods Wanfang database,CNKI,VIP,SinoMed,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase and Web of Science databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of Compound Danshen dripping pills combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus.The retrieval time is from the establishment of the database to May 2023.Two researchers independently completed literature screening,data collation and risk of bias evaluation.RevMan 5.4 software was used for Meta-analysis.Results Twenty-four RCTs with a total of 2 546 patients were included.Meta-analysis showed that the treatment of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with conventional western medicine was better than that of conventional western medicine in improving the total effective rate of coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes mellitus[OR=4.93,95%CI(3.49,6.98),P＜0.000 01],plasma adiponectin[MD= 2.79,95%CI(2.30,3.27),P＜0.000 01],reducing fasting blood glucose[SMD=-1.06,95%CI(-1.24,-0.88),P＜0.000 01],postprandial two-hour blood glucose[MD=-1.53,95%CI(-1.71,-1.35),P＜0.000 01],glycosylated hemoglobin[MD=-1.56,95%CI(-2.01,-1.11),P＜0.000 01],homocysteine[MD=-8.47,95%CI(-8.89,-7.97),P＜0.000 01],low density lipoprotein[MD=-0.46,95%CI(-0.69,-0.24),P＜0.000 01],total cholesterol[MD=-0.45,95%CI(-1.11,-0.20),P=0.005],triglycerides[MD=-0.42,95%CI(-0.50,-0.34),P＜0.000 01],interleukin 6[SMD=-1.34,95%CI(-1.61,-1.07),P＜0.000 01],cardiovascular adverse events[OR=0.35,95%CI(0.19,0.64),P=0.000 6],incidence of adverse reactions[OR=0.45,95%CI(0.24,0.86),P=0.01].Conclusion Compound Danshen Dripping Pills combined with conventional western medicine in the treatment of coronary heart disease with diabetes mellitus is more effective than conventional western medicine treatment,and with better safety.However,due to the limit of the quality of the included studies and other factors,the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high-quality clinical trials.

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies. Platinum resistance remains a dilemma and bottleneck in treatment, and salvage chemotherapy has limited effectiveness. Recently, the role of secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCS) in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) has caused attention especially in patients with oligometastases. However, there is neither high-quality evidence-based evidence nor standardized criteria for selecting SCS for patients with platinum-resistant ROC until now. Methods This multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the value of SCS and to clarify reliable criteria of utilizing SCS in women with ROC, which is led by Gynecologic Oncology Group, Women’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine.Recruitment has started on January 1st, 2023, and is scheduled to end in December 2026.One hundred and forty participants with platinum-resistant ROC who meet the “RSCS criteria” will be randomized assigned at a ratio of 1:1 to either the experimental arm or the standard arm. Patients in the experimental arm will receive SCS followed by non-platinum single agent chemotherapy (paclitaxel, gemcitabine or liposomal adriamycin) for at least 4 cycles while patients in the standard arm will be provided with only non-platinum single agent chemotherapy. The primary outcome is progression-free survival. The secondary outcomes are overall survival, adverse events and health-related cancer-specific quality of life.
