  • Analysis of the results of optical coherence tomography in eyes with repaired idiopathic macular hole after operation

    Objective To investigate the characteristics of optical coherence to mography (OCT) in eyes with repaired idiopathic macular hole (IMH) after operation and the relation with recovery of visual acuity. Methods The characteristics of OCT images of 24 patients (25 eyes) with repaired IMH after vitrectomy,internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling and auto-serum healing were analyzed retrospectively. In the patients with IMH, the macular hole was found in 9 eyes at st age II, 13 eyes at stage III, and 3 eyes at stage IV. Examinations of best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy with fundus contact lens, fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) and OCT were performed on the patients 3 to 24 months after surgery. Results OCT images of the repaired IMH were categorized into 3 patterns: U-type (5 eyes ) with relative normal foveal contour; V-type (7 eyes) with steep foveal contour;W-type (13 eyes) with foveal defect of neurosensory retina, but without warped hem of retinal hole or cystic formation. Postoperative visual acuities were improved in all of the patients and the best ones were in group U-type. Conclusion Characteristics of OCT images of repaired IMH may be related to the postoperative visual acuity. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2004,20:90-93)

  • Effects of Early Moxibustion Therapy on Gastrointestinal Recovery after Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Systematic Review

    ObjectiveTo systematically review the effect of early moxibustion therapy on the recovery of gastrointestinal functioning after gastrointestinal surgery. MethodsWe searched The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, EMbase, Ovid, EBSCO, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from inception to Jan. 2015, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs about early moxibustion therapy on the recovery of gastrointestinal functioning. Two reviewer independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0 softwares. ResultsA total of nine RCTs and four quasi-RCTs involving 1444 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis indicated that, the early moxibustion therapy group was significantly superior to the control group in total effective rate (OR=1.26, 95%CI 1.17 to 1.36, P<0.00001), the time to first bowel motion (MD=-11.79, 95%CI -13.79 to -9.78, P<0.00001), the time to first flatus (MD=-15.13, 95%CI -17.40 to -12.85, P<0.00001) and the time to first passage of feces (MD=-34.93, 95%CI -59.33 to -10.53, P=0.005). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that early moxibustion therapy after gastrointestinal surgery is beneficial for promoting the recovery of gastrointestinal functioning. In addition, due to the low methodological quality of included studies, larger sample, high-quality RCTs are needed to prove the above conclusion.

  • Efficacy of exercise therapy on recovery of moto function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a meta-analysis

    ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of exercise therapy on functional and activity recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of exercise therapy on functional and activity recovery after ACL from inception to May 2019. 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 11 RCTs involving 602 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: 1 week (MD=3.07, 95%CI 1.37 to 4.77, P=0.000 4) and 3 weeks (MD=4.53, 95%CI 2.34 to 6.71, P<0.000 1) conventional exercise training rehabilitation effects were better than natural recovery under orthopedic routine care in promoting knee joint function recovery. The recovery effects of over 6 months neuromuscular training was significantly increased compared with conventional rehabilitation (MD=11.48, 95%CI 8.25 to 14.71, P<0.000 01). In addition, there was significant difference between open and closed chain exercise rehabilitation after more than 6 months rehabilitation training (MD=6.77, 95%CI 0.86 to 12.68, P=0.02).ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that over 6 months neuromuscular training significantly enhance the recovery of motor function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. According to different reconstruction methods, individualized rehabilitation program is developed to maximize the recovery of knee joint function. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above conclusions.
