Animal experiments are an essential component of life sciences and medical research. However, the external validity and reliability of individual animal studies are frequently challenged by inherent limitations such as small sample sizes, high design heterogeneity, and poor reproducibility, which impede the effective translation of research findings into clinical practice. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis represent a key methodology for integrating existing evidence and enhancing the robustness of conclusions. Currently, however, the application of systematic reviews and meta-analysis in the field of animal experiments lacks standardized guidelines for their conduct and reporting, resulting in inconsistent quality and, to some extent, diminishing their evidence value. To address this issue, this paper aims to systematically delineate the reporting process for systematic reviews and meta-analysis of animal experiments and to propose a set of standardized recommendations that are both scientific and practical. The article's scope encompasses the entire process, from the preliminary preparatory phase [including formulating the population， intervention， comparison and outcome （PICO） question, assessing feasibility, and protocol pre-registration] to the key writing points for each section of the main report. In the core methods section, the paper elaborates on how to implement literature searches, establish eligibility criteria, perform data extraction, and assess the risk of bias, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis （PRISMA) statement, in conjunction with relevant guidelines and tools such as Animal Research： Reporting of in Vivo Experiments （ARRIVE) and a risk of bias assessment tool developed by the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE). For the presentation of results, strategies are proposed for clear and transparent display using flow diagrams and tables of characteristics. The discussion section places particular emphasis on how to scientifically interpret pooled effects, thoroughly analyze sources of heterogeneity, evaluate the impact of publication bias, and cautiously discuss the validity and limitations of extrapolating findings from animal studies to clinical settings. Furthermore, this paper recommends adopting the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology to comprehensively grade the quality of evidence. Through a modular analysis of the entire reporting process, this paper aims to provide researchers in the field with a clear and practical guide, thereby promoting the standardized development of systematic reviews and meta-analysis of animal experiments and enhancing their application value in scientific decision-making and translational medicine.

Objective:To construct and implement a multidisciplinary pain management model during the perioperative period based on the project-achieving quality control circle, so as to improve the quality of patient pain management during the perioperative period.Methods:Using the convenient sampling, 310 surgical patients from the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Hepatobiliary Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology Surgery and Joint Surgery of Liaocheng People's Hospital from June to July 2020 were taken as the pre-improvement group, and the routine perioperative pain management model was implemented. Starting from August 2020, a project-achieving quality control circle was carried out, following the steps of theme selection, topic clarification, goal setting, formulation of strategies, investigation of the best strategies, implementation of strategies, and confirmation of effectiveness, to implement a multidisciplinary pain management model during the perioperative period. A total of 310 surgical patients admitted to 5 departments from February to March 2021 were included in the improvement group.Results:The implementation rate of multidisciplinary pain management plan, the rate of out-of-bed activity within 24 hours after surgery, the rate of excellent postoperative rehabilitation compliance, and the average sleep score of patients in the improvement group all increased, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). After improvement, the awareness rate of pain knowledge among medical and nursing staff, the accuracy rate of nurses' rest and active pain assessment records, and the score of nurse pain knowledge all increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The construction and implementation of a multidisciplinary pain management model during the perioperative period based on the project-achieving quality control circle can effectively improve the quality of pain management for surgical patients, accelerate patient recovery, and improve the pain management of medical and nursing staff.

Objective:To investigate the effect of thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) combined with lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) on spinopelvic sagittal parameters in the elderly.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 77 patients with thoracolumbar OVCF admitted to Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from December 2016 to December 2021. There were 16 males and 61 females with the age of 61-92 years [(73.9±8.4)years]. All patients had single-level thoracolumbar fractures (T 11-L 2). Simple thoracolumbar OVCF was found in 49 patients (OVCF group) and thoracolumbar OVCF combined with LDS in 28 (OVCF+LDS group). The pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and Roussouly types were detected and compared between the two groups before operation. Results:There was no significant difference in PT and SVA between the two groups (all P>0.05). The PI, SS, LL, TK and TLK in OVCF+LDS group were (55.8±11.0)°, (34.1±10.9)°, (45.7±9.1)°, (35.7±6.1)° and (24.8±5.2)°, significantly larger than (47.9±8.8)°, (27.0±9.4)°, (33.1±7.9)°, (29.5±6.2)° and (18.4±5.5)° in OVCF group (all P<0.01). Roussouly types I-IV counted 22, 16, 5 and 6 patients in OVCF group, compared to 8, 5, 6 and 9 patients in OVCF+LDS group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Elderly patients with thoracolumbar OVCF combined with LDS can significantly alter spinopelvic sagittal parameters, and LDS may aggravate the thoracolumbar kyphosis of OVCF. To avoid sagittal imbalance, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Objective: To explore the development and interactive correlations between boredom proneness, smoking and drinking behavior. Methods: A total of 416 adolescents from one senior high school and one college in the Inner Monggol Autonomous Region were recruited to complete the short version boredom proneness scale, as well as smoking and drinking behavior scale at baseline and in the 12 month follow up. Results: There were significant and positive correlation between boredom proneness and smoking and drinking behavior at both cross sectional levels (T1 r =0.30, 0.34, T2 r =0.24, 0.45, P ＜0.01). Significant autoregressive coefficients were observed for boredom proneness, smoking and drinking behavior in adolescents ( β=0.53, 0.61, 0.45, P ＜ 0.01). Moreover, the cross lagged analyses revealed that the relationship between bordom proneness and smoking behavior was unilaterally influencing ( β=0.12, P＜0.01; β=0.03, P ＞0.05), the relationship between bordom proneness and drinking behavior was bidirectional over the 12 months ( β=0.21, 0.09, P ＜0.05). Conclusion Boredom proneness of adolescents is closely related to smoking and drinking behavior, boredom proneness can positively predict smoking and drinking behavior, and drinking behavior can positively predict boredom proneness.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rare neurodegenerative disease for which there is currently no cure. Improving the quality of life of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an important issue faced by clinical medical and nursing staff. The assessment of patient-reported outcomes has gradually become an important part of the collection of patient health information in clinical practice. This article reviews the current status and clinical applications of patient-reported outcome measures in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in order to provide a reference for promoting research on patient-reported outcomes in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in China.

Objective:To study the association between apparent temperature (AT) and the incidence of hand,foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) and its spatial heterogeneity in 46 cities in Guangdong, Anhui and Jilin provinces, and provide scientific evidence for the early warning of HFMD.Methods:The data of HFMD incidence and meteorological factors from 2009 to 2018 in Guangdong province, 2009 to 2015 in Anhui province, and 2013 to 2018 in Jilin province were collected. Distributed lag non-linear models were constructed to investigate the association between AT and the incidence of HFMD in 46 cities from three provinces in China. Meta-analysis was used to pool the city-specific estimates, and Meta-regression was applied to analyze the factors that may cause spatial heterogeneity.Results:The relationship between daily AT and the incidence of HFMD in 46 cities appeared nonlinear. The association in Guangdong was similar to that in Jilin, and the risk of HFMD increased with the increase of AT. While the risk of HFMD in Anhui first increased with the increase of AT, and peaked at 18.1 ℃ and then went down. AT on different levels showed different lag impacts and the higher AT showed greater and longer lag impact. The spatial heterogeneity of associations may have been caused by latitude, longitude, average temperature, and average sunshine hours.Conclusions:AT is a comprehensive index to evaluate the association between temperature, relative humidity and wind speed and the incidence of HFMD. Higher AT may increase the risk of HFMD. The AT and HFMD relationship across spatial heterogeneity varies depending on geographic location and meteorological conditions.

Objective To assess the imported risk of COVID-19 in Guangdong province and its cities, and conduct early warning. Methods Data of reported COVID-19 cases and Baidu Migration Index of 21 cities in Guangdong province and other provinces of China as of February 25, 2020 were collected. The imported risk index of each city in Guangdong province were calculated, and then correlation analysis was performed between reported cases and the imported risk index to identify lag time. Finally, we classified the early warming levels of epidemic by imported risk index. Results A total of 1 347 confirmed cases were reported in Guangdong province, and 90.0% of the cases were clustered in the Pearl River Delta region. The average daily imported risk index of Guangdong was 44.03. Among the imported risk sources of each city, the highest risk of almost all cities came from Hubei province, except for Zhanjiang from Hainan province. In addition, the neighboring provinces of Guangdong province also had a greater impact. The correlation between the imported risk index with a lag of 4 days and the daily reported cases was the strongest (correlation coefficient: 0.73). The early warning base on cumulative 4-day risk of each city showed that Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Guangzhou, Foshan and Huizhou have high imported risks in the next 4 days, with imported risk indexes of 38.85, 21.59, 11.67, 11.25, 6.19 and 5.92, and the highest risk still comes from Hubei province. Conclusions Cities with a large number of migrants in Guangdong province have a higher risk of import. Hubei province and neighboring provinces in Guangdong province are the main source of the imported risk. Each city must strengthen the health management of migrants in high-risk provinces and reduce the imported risk of Guangdong province.

Objective: To evaluate the exported risk of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) from Hubei Province and the imported risk in various provinces across China. Methods: Data of reported NCP cases and Baidu Migration Indexin all provinces of the country as of February 14, 2020 were collected. The correlation analysis between cumulative number of reported cases and the migration index from Hubei was performed, and the imported risks from Hubei to different provinces across China were further evaluated. Results: A total of 49 970 confirmed cases were reported nationwide, of which 37 884 were in Hubei Province. The average daily migration index from Hubei to other provinces was 312.09, Wuhan and other cities in Hubei were 117.95 and 194.16, respectively. The cumulative NCP cases of provinces was positively correlated with the migration index derived from Hubei province, also in Wuhan and other cities in Hubei, with correlation coefficients of 0.84, 0.84, and 0.81. In linear model, population migration from Hubei Province, Wuhan and other cities in Hubei account for 71.2%, 70.1%, and 66.3% of the variation, respectively. The period of high exported risk from Hubei occurred before January 27, of which the risks before January 23 mainly came from Wuhan, and then mainly from other cities in Hubei. Hunan Province, Henan Province and Guangdong Province ranked the top three in terms of cumulative imported risk (the cumulative risk indices were 58.61, 54.75 and 49.62 respectively). Conclusion The epidemic in each province was mainly caused by the importation of Hubei Province. Taking measures such as restricting the migration of population in Hubei Province and strengthening quarantine measures for immigrants from Hubei Province may greatly reduce the risk of continued spread of the epidemic.

Objective To compare the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Guangzhou and Wenzhou, and evaluate the effectiveness of their prevention and control measures. Methods Data of COVID-19 cases reported in Guangzhou and Wenzhou as of 29 February, 2020 were collected. The incidence curves of COVID-19 in two cities were constructed. The real time reproduction number ( R t ) of COVID-19 in two cities was calculated respectively. Results A total of 346 and 465 confirmed COVID-19 cases were analysed in Guangzhou and Wenzhou, respectively. In two cities, most cases were aged 30-59 years (Guangzhou: 54.9%; Wenzhou: 70.3%). The incidence curve peaked on 27 January, 2020 in Guangzhou and on 26 January, 2020 in Wenzhou, then began to decline in both cities. The peaks of imported COVID-19 cases from Hubei occurred earlier than the peak of COVID-19 incidences in two cities, and the peak of imported cases from Hubei occurred earlier in Wenzhou than in Guangzhou. In early epidemic phase, imported cases were predominant in both cities, then the number of local cases increased and gradually took the dominance in Wenzhou. In Guangzhou, the imported cases was still predominant. Despite the different epidemic pattern, the R t and the number of COVID-19 cases declined after strict prevention and control measures were taken in Guangzhou and in Wenzhou. Conclusion The time and scale specific differences of imported COVID-19 resulted in different epidemic patterns in two cities, but the spread of the disease were effectively controlled after taking strict prevention and control measures.

Objective:To investigate the effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Parecoxib and Flurbiprofen administered at different time points on mesenteric traction syndrome(MTS).Methods:This was a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial.One hundred elderly patients scheduled for open radical gastrectomy under general anesthesia were randomly allocated to four groups: the control group, the P-Pre-MT group, the F-Pre-MT group, and the F-Post-MT group(n=25, each group). Parecoxib 40 mg and Flurbiprofen 50 mg were intravenously administered 30 min and 5 min before skin incision in the P-Pre-MTS group and the F-Pre-MTS group, respectively.Flurbiprofen 50 mg was infused at the moment of MTS in the F-Post-MTS group while the control group was intravenously injected with saline.Anesthesia induction and maintenance were performed with plasma target-controlled infusion of Propofol and Remifentanil.After the incision of the peritoneum.The incidence of MTS, the duration of hypotension, and the use of norepinephrine during MTS were recorded.Systolic blood pressure(SBP), heart rate(HR), and effect-site concentration of Remifentanil were monitored at MT(T 0), 10 min(T 10), 20 min(T 20), 30 min(T 30), 45 min(T 45), and 60 min(T 60)after MT in patients with MTS. Results:MTS was observed in 19 of 22 patients(86%), 19 of 23 patients(83%), 0 of 24 patients(0%)and 20 of 23 patients(87%)in the control, P-Pre-MT, F-Pre-MT and F-Post-MT groups, respectively.The incidence of MTS in the F-Pre-MT group was lower than that in the control group( χ2=35.313, P=0.000). The duration of hypotension and the use of norepinephrine in patients with MTS were less in the F-Post-MT group than in the control group( P=0.007 and 0.015). SBP and HR at different time points after MT had significant differences in patients with MTS in the control group( F=47.425 and 26.318, P=0.000 and 0.000), but did not differ in the F-Pre-MT group( F=2.140 and 1.013, P=0.066 and 0.413). SBP and the effect-site concentration of Remifentanil were lower and HR was higher in the control group than in the F-Pre-MT group at T 10and T 20after MT( P=0.000), and SBP was higher and HR was lower in the F-Post-MT group than in the control group C at T 20after MT( P=0.002 and 0.002). Conclusions:Flurbiprofen not only can prevent the occurrence of MTS, maintain blood pressure stability and heart rate after MT, but also can reduce the duration of hypotension and the amplitude of heart rate increase when MTS occurs in elderly patients undergoing open radical gastrectomy.Parecoxib has no effect on MTS.
