The efficacy and safety of Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background:Chronic non-atrophic gastritis is the most common type of chronic gastritis. Even if treated with current standard pharmacotherapy, the efficacy is not very satisfactory due to many factors. Traditional Chinese Medicine decoctions are increasingly used in the treatment of chronic gastritis, and many studies have shown that Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis. However, it is controversy if Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction can provide an evidence-based clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis.Methods:We will go through 8 databases, and conduct a systematic review of Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction and health-related outcomes in chronic non-atrophic gastritis patients according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews. The primary objective is to assess the impact of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines on clinical outcomes relevant to chronic non-atrophic gastritis patients, such as clinical effective rate,Helicobacter pylori eradication rate, efficacy under endoscopy, 1-year recurrent rate, and number of reported adverse events. Cochrane Risk Assessment Tool will be used to assess the quality of eligible studies according to the Cochrane handbook.Results:The results of this systematic review will provide a synthesis of current evidence of Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction and we have a specific opportunity to determine the efficacy and safety of it.Conclusion:This study will explore whether or not Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction can be used as one of the complementary and alternative therapies in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis.Registration number:Identifier: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/TX27U (https://osf.io/tx27u/).     

基于SEER数据库脊索瘤临床预测模型的建立及验证

目的构建脊索瘤患者的预测模型并进行验证。方法从SEER数据库(2004~2015年)中鉴定和收集597例脊索瘤患者。Nomogram是基于建模组420例拥有完整数据的患者建立的。C指数(C-index)和校正曲线确定Nomogram的预测精度和判别能力。结果建立了基于年龄、种族、原发部位及数量、肿瘤分期(TNM)、手术方式、是否放疗、肿瘤转移和肿瘤大小等预后因素的预测模型,C指数为0.778。确定生存概率的校准曲线表明,Nomogram预测结果与实际观测结果吻合较好。年龄>60岁(P<0.001,HR 5.723,95%CI 1.988~16.474)、M1(P<0.001,HR 4.121,95%CI 1.834~9.257)、手术方式(全切除,P<0.01,HR0.416,95%CI 0.236~0.732;根治性扩大切除,P<0.0001,HR 0.251,95%CI 0.143~0.442)是独立预后因素。结论 Nomogram为脊柱脊索瘤患者提供了更准确的预后预测。本研究结果显示,年龄>60岁肿瘤分期M1和不进行手术是显著缩短脊索瘤患者生存时间的独立危险因素。     

Ascertainment and Prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in People with Intellectual Disabilities

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be under-recognized in people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) and reviews on appropriate screening tools and prevalence are lacking. This review aims to identify PTSD screening tools for PWID and estimate the prevalence of PTSD within this population. Method: Medline, PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane, Global Health, and Web of Science databases were searched (inception to October 2017) to identify eligible literature. Papers were also found via manual searches of the references of eligible studies. Studies were reviewed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, subjected to exclusion criteria and quality appraised using STROBE criteria for observational studies and an adapted form of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for cross-sectional studies. Seven studies were identified. Meta-analysis was carried out on the prevalence studies and heterogeneity quantified using I². Results: Three tools for screening PTSD in PWID were found: two for use in adults (the Lancaster and Northgate Trauma Scale and the Impact of Event Scale – Intellectual Disabilities) and the Adapted Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children with PTSD. Five studies reported PTSD prevalence in PWID. The weighted pooled prevalence of PTSD in PWID was found to be 10%, 95% CI [0.4%, 19.5%], toward the upper limit of estimated PTSD prevalence in the general population (5–10%). Conclusion: PTSD can be diagnosed in PWID but may go unrecognized by health-care professionals. The identified tools should be further compared and assessed for acceptability and efficacy to improve the identification of PTSD in PWID.     

足头向穿刺路径在膈肌下方肝肿瘤消融治疗中的CT模拟测量研究

【摘要】 目的 对足头向穿刺路径进行模拟测量并评价在膈肌下方肝肿瘤热消融治疗中的临床应用价值。方法 重建患者上腹部CT图像，选取有代表性的3个矢状面和1个冠状面作为标准层面，在各层面建立膈下标准病灶模型，并采用足头向穿刺路径进行模拟穿刺。测量各平面上膈肌高度、穿刺路径长度及间距。采用可到达性评价模拟穿刺时穿刺针分布于标准病灶中的最理想的位置情况。结果 纳入86例患者行测量研究，多数患者矢状2、3面的膈肌高度低于2cm，仅分别对平面内1511%的病灶e和813%的病灶f进行了测量。标准病灶a、b、c、d、b’的完全到达比例分别为5243%、6097%、3837%、5294%、6353%，中位路径长度分别为1039cm、1337cm（背侧，腹侧1266cm）、1315cm、888cm、1126cm，中位穿刺路径间距分别为21cm、209cm（背侧，214cm腹侧）、206cm、211cm、2145cm。结论 采用足头向穿刺路径进行穿刺，标准病灶a、b、d、b’有较高的完全到达比例，穿刺宽容度较高，有进一步在临床中应用的价值。标准病灶c的完全到达率不高。标准病灶e、f需要采用该路径穿刺的比例不高。
