Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of different kinds of smoking cessation drugs by network Meta-analysis.Methods:Literature was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wan fang database, from the establishment of the database to November 2022, and randomized controlled trials (RCT) about bupropion, varenicline, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) versus placebo in the treatment of smoking patients were collected. After data extraction from included literature which met inclusion criteria, and quality evaluation with Cochrane 5.1 risk bias evaluation tool, network Meta-analysis was performed by Stata15.1 software.Results:A total of 19 RCTs, involving 6106 patients and three interventions measures (bupropion, varenicline, NRT) and one control measure (placebo) were included. The results of network Meta-analysis showed that in terms of short-term abstinence rate, varenicline [ OR=4.21, 95% CI (2.32, 7.63)], bupropion [ OR=2.81, 95% CI(1.05, 7.54)] were better than placebo ( P<0.05). The surface under the cumulative ranking area (SUCRA): varenicline (90.2%)>bupropion (64.8%)>NRT (41.7%)>placebo (3.2%). In terms of the long-term abstinence rate, varenicline [ OR=3.06, 95% CI (1.59, 5.90)], NRT [ OR=3.39, 95% CI (2.20, 5.21)] were better than placebo ( P<0.05). SUCRA: varenicline (83.8%)>NRT (73.9%)>bupropion (37.2%)>placebo (5.2%). Conclusion:The existing evidence shows that compared with bupropion, NRT, varenicline has the best effect on quitting smoking, but more high-quality randomized trial evidence is needed for verification.

Objective:To retrospectively summarize the clinical experiences of managing renal artery stenosis after donor kidney transplantation in children.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2021, 114 pediatric kidney transplants(donor/recipient aged <18 years)were performed.According to the findings of color Doppler ultrasonography, they were divided into two groups of normal( n=80)and rapid flow( n=34). Rapid flow group were assigned into symptomatic( n=13)and asymptomatic( n=21)sub-groups based upon clinical features of hypertension and renal instability. Results:Among them, there were 65 males and 49 females.A significant inter-gender difference existed in the proportion of higher arterial flow rate of transplanted kidney(38.5% and 18.4%, P=0.02). No significant difference existed in age or body weight of transplant recipients among all groups( P>0.05). The mean age(10.4 months)and body weight(9 kg)of donors were significantly lower in symptomatic group than those in normal group(65.3 months, 21 kg)and asymptomatic group(64.4 months, 21.2 kg). The mean velocity of symptomatic group was significantly higher than that of asymptomatic group(363.5 vs 228.8 cm/s)( P<0.001). In symptomatic group, 6 cases received medications and their clinical manifestations were completely relieved.Among 7 patients invasively treated, one percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)was offer once( n=2), twice( n=2)and triple( n=1)with clinical relief and stable renal function.One case of bleeding at puncture site during PTA had treatment failure with a gradual loss of graft function.One ineffective case of PTA was subsequently placed with an endovascular stent.However, repeated stent dilation failed due to restenosis.After surgical exploration, vascular stent removal and transplantation of renal artery clipping, clinical symptoms were relieved. Conclusions:Male recipient, low body weight or young donor may be risk factors for transplant renal artery stenosis(TRAS)during pediatric donor renal transplantation.A higher flow rate of transplanted renal artery on ultrasonography could not confirm the diagnosis of TRAS.Greater arterial flow and associated clinical manifestations often hint at a strong possibility of TRAS, requiring drug or invasive treatment interventions.If PTA efficacy is not satisfactory, multiple treatments should be performed.Nevertheless, stenting should be avoided as far as possible to prevent in-stent restenosis.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically e valuate the efficacy and safety of expectorant/antioxidants in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical use. METHODS :Retrieved from PubMed ,Embase,Cochrane Library ,Web of Science ,CBM,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang database ,etc.,randomized controlled trials(RCTs)about expectorant/antioxidants (trial group )versus placebo (control group )in the treatment of COPD were collected during the inception to May 2021. After literature screening and data extraction ,the quality of included literatures were evaluated with risk bias evaluation tool recommended by Cochrane systematic evaluator manual 5.1.0. The consistency check was performed by using Gemtc 14.3 software;network Meta-analysis ,clustering and hierarchical sorting were performed with Stata 15.1 software. The publication bias was analyzed by inverted funnel plot. RESULTS :A total of 12 RCTs,involving 4 637 patients,were included. Five interventions measures were involved ,such as low-dose N-acetylcysteine (NAC),high-dose NAC ,carbo- cisteine, erdosteine and placebo. The results of network Meta-analysis showed that in terms of annual acute aggrava- tion rate ,the patients receiving high-do se NAC [MD =-0.45, 163.com 95%CI(-0.74,-0.17),P<0.05],carbocisteine [MD =-0.59,95%CI(-0.86,-0.32),P<0.05] and erdosteine [MD =-0.26,95%CI(-0.51,-0.01),P<0.05] in trial group were significantly lower than those in control group ;the annual acute aggravation rate of patients receiving high-dose NAC[MD =-0.55, 95%CI(-0.98,-0.11),P<0.05] and carbocisteine [MD =-0.69,95%CI(-1.11,-0.26),P<0.05] in trial group were significantly lower than those receiving low-dose of NAC ,there was no statistical significance among other groups (P>0.05); probability cumulative ranking results (calculated by the area under the curve )of its network Meta-analysis was carbocisteine > high-dose NAC >erdosteine>placebo>low-dose NAC. In terms of the incidence of ADR ,there was no statistical significance among groups (P>0.05);probability cumulative ranking results (calculated by the area under the curve ) of its network Meta-analysis was erdosteine >high-dose NAC >low-dose NAC >placebo>carbocisteine. The results of clustering and hierarchical ranking showed that the efficacy and safety of the five interventions could be grouped into three categories ,including placebo and low-dose NAC with low efficacy and safety ,carbocisteine with good efficacy but low safety ,and high-dose NAC and erdosteine with good efficacy and safety. The results of publication bias showed that taking the annual acute exacerbation rate as the index , there was a greater possibility of publication bias in this study ;taking the incidence of adverse event as index ,there was little possibility of publication bias in this study. CONCLUSIONS :NAC,carbocisteine and erdosteine all can reduce the annual acute aggravation rate and have low incidence of ADR. Carbocisteine is the best in terms of annual acute aggravation rate ,erdosteine is the best in terms of safety. High-dose NAC and erdosteine are both better in term of efficacy and safety.

Objective To investigate the distribution of circadian typology of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to analyze its consequent impact on glycemic control. Methods From January 2016 to June 2016, a total of 283 T2DM patients were interviewed in this study. Self designed questionnaire, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Center for Epidemiological Survey-Depression Scale (CES-D) were used to collect information on diabetes history, circadian typology, sleep quality and depression. HbA1c and other biochemical indicators were determined. The glycemic control target was<7%. The 283 T2DM patients were divided into three groups:morning type group, evening type group and neither type group according to MEQ score. Results Of the 283 subjects, 97 (34.3%) were classified as morning type, 42 (14.8%) as evening type, and 144 (50.9%) as neither. Participants with evening type were younger, shorter diabetes duration, more depressive symptoms, higher perceived sleep debt, higher FBG and higher HbA1c than those with morning type. The binary Logistic regression analysis showed that HbAlc≥7%was associated with higher FBG, higher PSQI score, higher sleep debt, lower HDL-C, and lower MEQ scores (OR=0.189-2.904, all P<0.05). Conclusions Evening type was associated with higher HbA1c and poorer glycemic control in T2DM patients compared with morning type and may be one of the risk factors affecting glycemic control.
