Objective To evaluate the reporting quality of randomized controlled trials on acupuncture cessation by using CONSORT statement and STRICTA checklist.Methods According to inclusion and exclusion criteria,9 Chinese and English databases such as CNKI and PubMed were searched by computer,and the retrieved literatures were evaluated according to the CONSORT statement 2010 and STRICTA checklist 2010.Results After exclusion,34 Chinese and English literatures were included,including 27 in Chinese and 7 in English.In a risk review using ROB2,the Cochrane Collaboration's bias risk assessment tool,29 reviews were judged to be high risk overall,2 to be at some risk,and 3 to be at low risk.In the CONSORT statement evaluation,the reporting rate of 23 items was less than 76.4%,including the reporting rate of 17 items was less than 47%.In the STRICTA checklist evaluation,the reporting rate of 9 items was less than 76.4%,including the reporting rate of 4 items was less than 29.4%.Conclusion There are still shortcomings in the methodological design and item reporting standards of acupuncture smoking cessation RCT.It is suggested that researchers should strictly follow the CONSORT declaration and STRICTA list in designing RCT schemes and reporting RCT results in the future.

The corneal epithelium, an essential refractive interface, plays an integral role in the corneal healing after corneal refractive surgery. All existing corneal refractive surgeries entail a degree of corneal epithelial remodeling; however, excessive epithelial remodeling precipitates adverse outcomes on the refractive correction efficacy of such surgeries. This review summarizes the application of corneal epithelial remodeling in the corneal refractive surgery, and more comprehensively investigates the influencing factors of perioperative epithelial remodeling after corneal refractive surgery, with a view to augmenting the safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of corneal refractive surgical outcomes.
