Notes

Aspects linked to self-management behaviours of individuals using persistent obstructive pulmonary condition.
Music therapy gave patient more satisfaction with the treatment and a willingness to repeat the therapy was reported. However, there was no significant difference in the stone clearance rate.

Listening to music can reduce patient's pain and anxiety significantly with increased therapy satisfaction and willingness to repeat.

At present, laser is regarded as an effective treatment for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. With the breakthrough of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs in ophthalmology clinical research, the intravitreal injection of ranibizumab is widely applied, but both methods have their limitations, so some clinical studies have combined and applied them together. However, the clinical results are inconsistent and controversial, and there is no relevant system evaluation for the laser combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion now.

Meta analysis is used to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the laser combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.

CNKI, VIP, WANFANG, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library have used random controlled clinical trial of laser combin of the laser combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.
Laser combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion has good effect, and the research has provided reliable evidence for the use of clinical treatment of the laser combined with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab for treatment of macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion.
Early stage of cirrhosis is of great value in the diagnosis and management in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Recent studies have shown that quantitative liver surface nodularity (LSN) score based on imaging techniques can be used to predict the early cirrhosis stage noninvasively, with varied diagnostic accuracy and limited sample size. Hence, this study will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of LSN in the prediction of early cirrhosis.

We will conduct a comprehensive search in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Chinese biomedical databases to identify eligible studies. The literature screening, data extraction, data analysis, and quality assessment will then be carried out. The summary receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) and pooled sensitivity, specificity will be calculated to summarize the diagnostic performance of LSN using a random-effect model. A meta-regression analysis will be performed to investigate the underlying cause of the heterogeneity.

This study will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of LSN score in the identification of early cirrhosis, which may further determine whether this method can be used as an alternative in the assessment of CLD patients.

This study will help to determine the diagnostic accuracy and summarize the recent evidence on this issue.

As a novel ultrasound technique, superb microvascular imaging (SMI) can quickly, simply, and noninvasively study the microvascular distribution in the tumor and evaluate the microvascular perfusion. Studies suggested that SMI is helpful for the differentiation between benign and malignant parotid tumors. However, the results of these studies have been contradictory. Therefore, the present meta-analysis aimed at determining the accuracy of SMI in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant parotid tumors.

We will search PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Chinese biomedical databases from their inceptions to September 30, 2020, without language restrictions. Two authors will independently carry out searching literature records, scanning titles and abstracts, full texts, collecting data, and assessing risk of bias. Review Manager 5.2 and Stata14.0 software will be used for data analysis.

This systematic review will determine the accuracy of SMI in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant parotid tumors.

Its findings will provide helpful evidence for the accuracy of SMI in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant parotid tumors.

Acute abdominal pain is often caused by intestinal obstruction, with high morbidity, and mortality, so that the early diagnosis is particularly important. Currently, both spiral CT and ultrasound are common imaging diagnostic methods. However, the accuracy and practicality of the diagnosis are controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the accuracy and practicality of spiral CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.

Retrieval of English database (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library) and Chinese database (CNKI, WAN FANG, VIP, CBMDISC) by computers. From the establishment of the database to October 2020, a diagnostic experimental study on the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction by ultrasound and spiral CT was conducted. Two researchers independently conducted data extraction and quality evaluation of literature on the included studies, and Meta Disc1.4 and RevMan5.3 were used for meta-analysis on the included literature.

Sensitivity, specificity, po-sitive Likelihood ratio, NE-Gative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio and other indicators were used to determine the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound and helical CT.

This study is aimed at providing an evidence-based basis for clinicians to choose an appropriate or optimal diagnostic method by comparison of the accuracy and practicality between spiral CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a common complication in the third trimester of pregnancy, which may result in premature delivery, fetal distress, stillbirth, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a first-line treatment for ICP and has been controversial in improving adverse pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this protocol is to systematically evaluate the effect of UDCA on pregnancy outcomes in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy.

To search the databases PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, CBMDIsc by computer, then to include randomized controlled clinical studies on UDCA for treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy from the establishment of the database to October 1, 2020. Two researchers independently extract and evaluate the data of the included studies, and meta-analysis is conducted on the included literatures using RevMan5.3 software.

This protocol evaluates the outcome of UDCA in improving ICP by incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women preterm birth rates meconium contamination rate in amniotic fluid incidence of fetal distress scale of newborns scoring <7 in 5-min Apgar incidence of neonatal admission to neonatal intensive care unit.

This protocol will provide an evidence-based basis for clinical use of UDCA in the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy.

Private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also does not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval was not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated at relevant conferences.

Pediatric femoral shaft combined with ipsilateral femoral neck fractures are very rare but challenging injuries fraught with the development of avascular necrosis, coxa vara, and leg length discrepancy. Majority of the previous reports indicated the neck femur fracture was fixed with cannulated screws or/and pins, femoral shaft fracture was stabilized with a plate and screws. However, we used cannulated screws combined with elastic stable intramedullary nails to minimally invasive procedures treat this type of injury and achieved good follow-up results.

A 7-year-old boy (Case 1) was hospitalized due to a traffic accident resulting in swelling and deformity of the right thigh accompanied by limited mobility of hip and knee. A 5-year-old male child (Case 2) presented with pain and swelling in the bilateral lower limb after fall from approximately 12 feet.

Physical examination, X-ray film, and computed tomography were performed. Both patients were diagnosed with ipsilateral femoral neck and shaft fracture. this paper may be more minimally invasive.
Venous air embolism (VAE) from vascular injuries, is of rare occurrence but can result in catastrophic complications during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Early recognition and prompt management of vascular injury are required to avoid severe complications. Especially, bleeding is generally associated with profound hypotension in venous injury. We report an unusual complication of venous air embolism induced by femoral vein rupture during THA.

A 54-year-old male patient with a history of old left acetabular fracture was scheduled for THA. We experienced massive bleeding and VAE induced by femoral vein rupture during total hip arthroplasty. The BP suddenly dropped from 100/70 mm Hg to 80/50 mm Hg with massive bleeding. ETCO2 and SaO2 decreased profoundly.

The VAE was diagnosed by the change in end- tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and change of vital signs, so we performed ABGA and inserted TEE for confirmination.

For treatment, patient was managed by oxygen therapy, inotropics, vasopressor, transfusion and surgical repair.

Upon consulting with a cardiologist, the patient was extubated the next day and was transferred to the general ward and recovered without serious complications. BisindolylmaleimideIX He stayed for 17 days until finally discharged without complications.

Preoperative vascular imaging may be recommended in the revisional case of THA or in patients with the history of hip trauma. The monitoring of ETCO2 and TEE might be helpful to recognize VAE earlier and therefore to avoid catastrophic complications through adequate treatment.

Baduanjin is an ancient technique of physical and breathing exercises (Dao Yin). This technique is divided into eight sections and each section is a motion, so it is called "Baduanjin". It is practice without equipment, simple and easy to learn, whose effect is significant leading to good fitness effect. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease. Clinical studies have reported that Baduanjin can affect the metabolism of blood glucose and blood lipid in diabetic patients, but the reported efficacy is different among different studies. Therefore, the study is aimed to systematically evaluate the size and differences of the impact of Baduanjin on the metabolism of glucose and lipid in diabetic patients.

Retrieved randomized controlled trials(RCTs) on effects of Baduanjin on glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic patients from PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI with computer while mutually retrieved the same things from Chinese Clinical Trial Registry(ChiCTR), Google Academic and Baidu Academic.
