  • Effectiveness and Safety of Foscarnet Sodium in Treating Chronic HBV Hepatitis: A Systematic Review

    Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of foscarnet sodium in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Methods We searched MEDLINE, EMbase, The Cochrane Library and CNKI from 1978 to June 2006. Randomized controlled trials of foscarnet sodium versus other drugs or no drugs in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B were identified. The quality of the included trials was evaluated by two reviewers independently. Meta-analysis was done using The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.7. Results Seven studies (337 patients) were included; one compared foscarnet sodium versus interferon, and the other six compared foscarnet sodium versus no drugs. All the included studies were graded in terms of the quality of randomization, allocation concealment and blinding. All 7 studies were graded as level C. The meta-analysis showed that: ① foscarnet sodium was not significantly different from interferon in clinical efficacy, liver function, negative-conversion rate of virological markers and side effects. ② compared with the no drugs group, the negative-conversion rate of virological markers was significantly higher for the foscarnet sodium group, HBeAg (RR 6.20, 95%CI 1.76 to 21.79) and HBV-DNA (RR 4.13, 95%CI 1.32 to 12.86); but there were no significant differences in clinical efficacy, liver function and side effects. Conclusions Available evidence shows that: in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B the effectiveness and safety of foscarnet sodium are not significantly different from interferon, but only one trial is included in this review, so the evidence is weak. Compared with no drugs, foscarnet sodium significantly improves the negative-conversion rate of virological markers, but the evidence is insufficient to show whether foscarnet sodium could improve clinical efficacy and liver function, as well as reduce side effects.

    ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of unilateral puncture percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) through transverse process-pedicle approach (TPA) for the treatment of lumbar osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF).MethodsFrom January 2014 to June 2019, a total of 220 OVF patients (321 fractured vertebral bodies) were enrolled, and PKP was performed by unilateral TPA puncture. The distribution of bone cement in vertebral body exceeding the midline of vertebral body was defined as the success of puncture, and the success rates of puncture of different vertebral bodies were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), anterior and middle heights of the vertebral body, and the local Cobb angle were compared between three time points namely before operation, 1 day after operation, and 6 months after operation. Surgery-related complications were recorded.ResultsThe 220 patients included 57 males and 163 females, with a mean age of (70.3±6.5) years, a mean course of disease of (18.7±17.7) d, and a mean bone mineral density of −3.3±0.6. The success rate of puncture from L1 to L5 was 81.7% (85/104), 95.2% (80/84), 100.0% (69/69), 97.6% (41/42), and 72.7% (16/22), respectively. The mean volume of bone cement injected into the vertebral bodies was (5.8±0.9) mL. Two patients were followed up for less than 6 months because of death or loss to follow-up, and the other 218 patients were followed up for 6-57 months, with an average of (19.6±8.7) months. Before surgery, 1 day after surgery, and 6 months after surgery, the median (lower quartile, upper quartile) of VAS scores was 6 (6, 8), 1 (1, 2), and 2 (1, 2), respectively, with statistically significant differences in all the two-two comparisons (P<0.017). At the three time points, the median (lower quartile, upper quartile) of ODI was 61% (54%, 66%), 26% (22%, 30%), and 25% (24%, 31%), respectively, the mean height of anterior vertebral body was (18.3±2.8), (22.6±3.0), and (22.6±3.1) mm, respectively, the mean height of middle vertebral body was (17.8±2.2), (22.9±2.8), and (22.9±2.7) mm, respectively, the mean local Cobb angle was (19.9±2.6), (14.4±2.8), (14.4±2.8)°, respectively, and the values at 1 day and 6 months after surgery all differed from those before surgery (P<0.017). A total of 32 cases (42 vertebrae) had bone cement leakage, of whom 4 cases had related symptoms. There were 32 re-fractures of the vertebral bodies, including 18 adjacent vertebral body fractures, with an incidence rate of 5.6%. There were 3 vertebral infections after operation, the incidence was 0.9%.ConclusionPatients with OVF of the lumbar spine undergoing unilateral TPA puncture for PKP surgery have a high success rate, definite clinical effect, and satisfactory correction of local deformities.

  • Research status and prospect of mandibular sensory dysfunction after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach

    ObjectiveTo summarize the research status of mandibular sensory dysfunction after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA), and explore its potential treatment methods and existing problems, and provide ideas and methods for future clinical treatments or research. MethodThe domestic and foreign literatures about peripheral nerve injury and its treatment after TOETVA were searched and reviewed. ResultsMental nerve injury was considered to be the main cause of mandibular sensory dysfunction after TOETVA. Due to the lack of unified definitions and assessment standards, the true incidence remained unclear. In order to reduce the risk of mental nerve injury, methods such as exposing the mental nerve and combining vestibular approaches during surgery had certain advantages. In terms of treatment, several methods promoting nerve repair were noteworthy, including B vitamins, nerve growth factors, physical therapy and so on. In addition, some auxiliary treatments of Traditional Chinese Medicine also showed effectiveness in promoting nerve regeneration. ConclusionsIt is essential to avoid damage to the mental nerve and mandibular tissues during surgery. For patients with significant complaints postoperatively, active treatment should be pursued. Establishing objective and quantifiable standards for evaluating mandibular sensory dysfunction and seeking effective clinical plans through a multidisciplinary approach may be the direction for future research.

  • The Efficacy and Safety of Foscarnet Versus Ganciclovir for Cytomegalovirus Retinitis Associated with AIDS

    Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of foscarnet and ganciclovir for cytomegalovirus retinitis associated with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Methods We searched MEDLINE (1966 to 2005.12), EMBASE (1974 to Dec.2005), The Cochrane Library (Issue 4,2005), CBM (1978 to Dec.2005), CMCC (1994 to Dec. 2005), CNKI (1994 to Dec. 2005) and VIP (1989 to Dec. 2005). We identified randomized controlled trials of foscarnet versus ganciclovir. Two independent reviewers collected and evaluated details of study populations, interventions, and outcomes using a data extraction form. We conducted meta-analysis of the homoeonomous data. Result Three studies involving 451 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed foscarnet was better than ganciclovir with the following outcomes: mortality (RR=0.84, 95%CI 0.70 to 1.00, P=0.05); male genital ulcers (RR=1.29, 95%CI 0.60 to 2.82, P=0.002). There were no significant differences in ocular symptoms, relapses and other side effects. Conclusion Foscarnet in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in AIDS patients may be more benefical than ganciclovir with regard to mortality and male genital ulcers, but the supporting evidence is not very b because there are only three trials.

  • One-stage posterior reduction single nail and rod fixation combined with the anterior operation for lower cervical fracture-dislocation combined with unilateral locked facet

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of one-stage posterior reduction single nail and rod fixation combined with the anterior operation on lower cervical fracture-dislocation combined with unilateral locked facet.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 28 patients with lower cervical fracture-dislocation combined with unilateral locked facet who underwent one-stage posterior-anterior approach surgery between June 2012 and March 2017 were conducted. The Cobb angle, vertebral body horizontal displacement, height of intervertebral space, recovery of nerve function and operative complications were observed before and after operation.ResultsAll patients were followed up for 12-24 months, with an average of (18.9±4.7) months. All the patients received good reposition after operation without complications such as large blood vessels, trachea, esophagus, spinal dura mater injury and so on. The incisions healed well in all patients. Postoperative complications: postoperative hoarseness and dysphagia occured in 3 cases, pharynx and larynx pain in 8 cases, pulmonary infection in 1 case, and hyponatremia in 2 cases; all patients recovered after the related symptomatic treatment. Postoperative X-ray showed that all the patients were completely corrected without residual small joint semi dislocation and kyphosis. No spinal cord or nerve injury aggravators occurred after surgery. The neurological function of all patients was improved to different degrees 12 months after operation. American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) classification showed that, of the 6 cases classified as type B preoperatively, 4 cases turned into type C and 2 cases into type D postoperatively; of the 13 cases classified as type C preoperatively, 10 cases turned into type D and 3 into type E postoperatively; and all the 8 cases classified as type D preoperatively turned into type E postoperatively. The ASIA scores increased by 1-2 levels compared with those before operation (P<0.05). The height of cervical intervertebral space, physiological curvature and cervical stability of all patients were well maintained 7 days and 12 months after operation, which were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two follow-up visits at 7 days and 12 months after operation. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score at 12 months after operation (14.6±2.3) was significantly better than that before operation (6.8±2.6), and the average improvement rate was (79.6±18.8)% (P<0.05). No complications such as screw loosening, fracture or displacement occurred during follow-up.ConclusionOne-stage posterior reduction single nail and rod fixation combined with the anterior operation is safe and effective for the treatment of lower cervical fracture-dislocation combined with unilateral locked facet.
