ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy of methotrexate perfusion combined with interventional treatment and the traditional treatment with methotrexate and mifepristone for cesarean scar pregnancy. MethodA total of 589 patients diagnosed with cesarean scar pregnancy after surgery between January 2012 and March 2015 in our hospital were selected to be our study subjects. The patients were informed of the two kinds of treatment, and based on their own will, they were arranged into corresponding groups. Group A had 234 patients who were willing to undergo the conventional therapy:intramuscular injection of methotrexate (20 mg, once per day for 5 days); oral mifepristone (50 mg once per day for 3 to 5 days); and the continuation of drugs was determined by local pregnancy tissue blood flow on B ultrasound and liver function of the patients. Group B had 255 patients who selected uterine artery perfusion and arterial embolism. There was no significant difference in terms of age, serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and uterine incision gestation sac size between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). Then we compared the treatment effect between the two groups. ResultsThe differences in the amount of bleeding, the time of blood HCG dropped to normal, and hospitalization duration between the two groups were significant (P<0.05), while in the rate of hysterectomy, drug-induced liver injury were not (P<0.05). ConclusionsMethotrexate perfusion combined with interventional treatment is better than the traditional treatment with methotrexate and mifepristone for cesarean scar pregnancy in terms of clinical efficacy and safety.
目的:探讨甲氨蝶呤联合依那西普(MTX+ETA)和甲氨蝶呤联合来氟米特(MTX+LEF)治疗重度活动的类风湿关节炎(RA)的疗效差异。方法:收集重度活动的RA患者50例。A组24例,给予MTX 10mg/次,一周一次,口服,联合ETA 25mg/次,一周2次,皮下注射后病情缓解后依那西普减量为25mg/次,1周一次至随访结束;B组26例,给予MTX 10mg一周一次联合来氟米特20mg/d。两组随访时间为24周。定期随访其红细胞沉降率(ESR)、C反应蛋白(CRP)、DSA28评分、sharp评分、RF、ANA、ACR核心标准评定。结果:①A组在治疗半年前后其VAS评分、晨僵时间、关节肿痛个数、DSA28评分、HAQ、患者评分、医生评价、ESR、CRP方面改善明显,有统计学意义(Plt;0.05);B组在治疗半年前后其VAS评分、晨僵时间、关节肿痛个数、DSA28评分、HAQ、患者评分、医生评价方面改善明显,有统计学意义(Plt;0.05);A组和B组在治疗半年后在VAS评分、晨僵时间、关节触痛个数、DSA28评分、HAQ、患者评分、医生评价、ESR、CRP方面改善明显,有统计学意义(Plt;0.05)。②各组ACR20有效率逐步增加,在各随访期内两组的ACR20的达标率的差异无明显的统计学意义(Pgt;0.05);ACR50则在第4、20、24周,A组的达标率为12%、79%、87%与B组的8%、46%、50%差异有统计学意义(Plt;0.05);ACR70虽然在各期A组均高于B组,但差异均无差异性(Pgt;0.05)。③A组在第2、4、12周DSA28指数下降明显,跟前次随访指标的差异有统计学意义(Plt;0.05);B组在第16、24周DSA28指数下降明显,跟前次随访指标的差异有统计学意义(Plt;0.05);而A组与B组同期DSA28的比较发现,A组从第4周起各期DSA28分值均低于B组,且差异均有统计学意义(Plt;0.05)④两种治疗方案不良反应发生情况均低,且两组不良事件发生率差异无统计学意义。结论:ETA+MTX和LEF+MTX联合治疗重度活动的RA均是安全有效的,其中前者常常可以更早期的达到诱导缓解病情的目的。
Objectives To systematically review the efficacy and safety of certolizumab pegol (CZP) plus methotrexate (MTX) for active rheumatoid arthritis. Methods The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on CZP plus MTX vs. MTX plus placebo for active rheumatoid arthritis from inception to May, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, data were analyzed by using Stata 11.0 software. Results Seven RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed the CZP plus MTX group was superior to MTX plus placebo group in ACR20 (CZP400 mg: RR=2.86, 95%CI 1.70 to 4.79, P<0.001; CZP200 mg: RR=3.76, 95%CI 2.59, 5.46, P<0.001), ACR50 (CZP400 mg: RR=3.91, 95%CI 2.10 to 7.27, P<0.001; CZP200 mg: RR=4.86, 95%CI 3.20 to 7.39, P<0.001), and ACR70 (CZP400 mg: RR=5.65, 95%CI 1.99 to 16.06, P=0.001; CZP200 mg: RR=10.08, 95%CI 5.11 to 19.89, P<0.001). The CZP plus MTX group was also superior to MTX plus placebo group in swollen joint counts (SMD=–12.72, 95%CI –15.39 to –10.06,P<0.001), tender joint counts (SMD=–11.54, 95%CI –13.97 to –9.11,P<0.001), doctor's global assessment of disease activity (SMD=–11.78, 95%CI –13.81 to –9.75,P<0.001), patient's global assessment of disease activity (SMD=–9.62, 95%CI –11.09 to –8.15,P<0.001), and patient's assessment of pain (SMD=–9.10, 95%CI –10.91 to –7.30,P<0.001) and HAQ (SMD=–7.74, 95%CI –8.99, –6.49,P<0.001), respectively. However, the incidence of adverse events in CZP plus MTX group was higher than that in MTX plus placebo group. Conclusions CZP plus MTX is superior to MTX plus placebo for treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis but with higher adverse events. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions are still needed to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Methods A total of 126 patients with early ectopic pregnancy diagnosed from February 2006 to Febrary 2010 were randomly divided into two groups. In 126 patients, 62 treated with MTX combined with mifepristone were in the treatment group,and 64 treated independently with MTX were in the control group. MTX was administrated at a low dose in several times. Results In 126 patients,the success ratio of the treatment was 88% in treatment group groups and 65% in the control group; the difference between the two groups was significant (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Low-dose MTX in separate times combined with mifepriston is effective on the early ectopic pregnancy, and the therapeutic effect of the combined administration of MTX and mifepriston is better than that of the single administration with MTX.
Objective To analyze the effectiveness of conservative medical treatments for ectopic pregnancy (EP): methotrexate (MTX) + mifepristone + Ectopic Pregnancy II decoction (EP-II) vs. methotrexate + mifepristone. Methods A total of 95 patients with EP in Shenzhen Shajing Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2009 to January 2011 were randomly divided into two groups: 45 patients in the experimental group were treated with MTX, mifepristone and EP II decoction, while the other 50 patients in the control group were treated with MTX and mifepristone. The effectiveness of the two groups was analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software. Results There were significant differences in the time of serum β-HCG return to normal (16.13±8.13 ds vs. 22.05±7.15 ds, Plt;0.05), time of EP mass absorption (30.46±7.56 ds vs. 39.99±18.26 ds, Plt;0.05) and tubal patency rate (80% vs. 75%, Plt;0.05) between the two groups. But there were no significant differences in effective rate (95.56%, 43/45 vs. 94%, 47/50, χ2=0.0809, Pgt;0.05) and side effects. Conclusion The combination of methotrexate, mifepristone and EP II decoction for ectopic pregnancy is more effective than mifepristone and methotrexate in coordinately killing the embryo, shortening the time of serum β-HCG return to normal and the time of EP mass absorption, and improving the function of oviducts.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Leflunomide (LEF) in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), so as to provide scientific proof for applying LEF in China. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the effect of LEF on patients with RA from January 1989 to January 2011 were searched from the following databases, CNKI, WanFang Data, MEDLINE, EMbase and CBM. After two reviewers independently screened the studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data and assessed the quality, the data were analyzed by RevMan 5.0 software. Results Among 3247 patients in 16 included RCTs, 1711 patients were in the LEF group, while the other 1536 patients were in the Methotrexate (MXT) group. The results of meta-analyses showed there was no significant difference in the efficacy between LEF and MXT (RR=1.03, 95%CI 0.94 to 1.11, Pgt;0.05), but a significant difference was found in the side reaction (RR=0.67, 95%CI 0.49 to 0.94, Plt;0.05). Conclusion Based on the current studies, Leflunomide is as effective as the commonly-used Methotrexate in the treatment of rheumatiod arthritis at present, much safer than Methotrexate, and thought as a safe and effective SAARD. For the quality restrictions of the included studies, more double blind RCTs with high quality are required to further assess the effects.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of iguratimod compared with methotrexate in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, VIP, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the efficacy and safety of iguratimod compared with methotrexate in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis from inception to June 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 10 RCTs involving 970 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there was no statistical difference between iguratimod and methotrexate in ACR20 (RR=1.06, 95%CI 0.91 to 1.23, P=0.49), ACR50 (RR=0.93, 95%CI 0.73 to 1.19, P=0.55), ACR70 (RR=0.92, 95%CI 0.62 to 1.39, P=0.70), morning stiffness time (MD=0.45, 95%CI –0.26 to 1.16, P=0.22), tender joint count (MD=0.07, 95%CI –2.31 to 2.45, P=0.95), swollen joint count (MD=–0.30, 95%CI –1.44 to 0.84, P=0.61), health assessment questionnaire (MD=0.01, 95%CI –0.05 to 0.07, P=0.73) and the rate of adverse effects (RR=0.66, 95%CI 0.41 to 1.07, P=0.09). Meta-analysis of 2 RCTs using double-blind method showed that, iguratimod was superior to methotrexat in the patient (MD=4.11, 95%CI 0.11 to 8.10, P=0.04) and physician (MD=4.81, 95%CI 0.93 to 8.69, P=0.01) global assessment of disease activities.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the efficacy and safety of iguratimod in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis are similar to methotrexate. And iguratimod is superior in global assessment of disease activities by patients and doctors. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
