Objective To systematically assess the effectiveness and safety of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists in preventing propofol injection induced pain. Methods Databases including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2012), CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang Data were searched from their inception to September, 2012 to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about 5-HT3 receptor antagonists in preventing propofol injection induced pain. Two reviewers independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of methodology. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 15 RCTs involving 1 413 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) the incidence of propofol injection induced pain in the 5-HT3 group was obviously lower than the control group (RR=0.14, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.21, Plt;0.000 01); b) as to the severity of pain, there was no statistical difference between the two groups (RR=0.84, 95%CI 0.56 to 1.26, P=0.39); the 5-HT3 group was obviously lower that the control group in the incidence of both moderate pain (RR=0.25, 95%CI 0.19 to 0.34, Plt;0.000 01) and severe pain (RR=0.16, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.24, Plt;0.000 01); and c) as to the incidence of postoperative adverse reaction: the 5-HT3 group was obviously lower that the control group in the incidence of nausea and vomiting (RR=0.19, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.34, Plt;0.000 01) and shivering (RR=0.20, 95%CI 0.12 to 0.33, Plt;0.000 01) as well. Conclusion 5-HT3 receptor antagonists can effectively prevent the propofol injection induced pain, alleviate its severity, and reduce the postoperative adverse reactions. For the quantity and quality limitation of the included studies, this conclusion still needs to be further proved by performing more high quality studies.
Objective To analyze published literature about the clinical studies on elective single versus double embryo transfer using meta-analysis, so as to provide more convincing evidence for the clinical application of elective single embryo transfer. Methods We electronically searched foreign and domestic biomedical databases including PubMed, Ovid, EMbase, MEDLINE and CENTRAL, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on elective single versus double embryo transfer. According to Cochrane systematic review method, two reviewers independently screened studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality of the included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 9 RCTs involving 2 784 cases were included, of which, 1 452 were in the trial group while the other 1 332 were in the control group. The results of meta-analysis indicated that, compared with elective double embryo transfer, during each transfer period elective single embryo transfer reduced the live birth rate (RR=0.66, 95%CI 0.59 to 0.73, Plt;0.000 01), multiple pregnancy rate (RR=0.05 95%CI 0.02 to 0.11, Plt;0.000 01), preterm birth rate (RR=0.39, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.60, Plt;0.000 1), and low birth weight rate (RR=0.25, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.44, Plt;0.000 01). However, it had no effect on the ectopic pregnancy rate (RR=0.55, 95%CI 0.11 to 2.77, P=0.47), miscarriage rate (RR=1.33, 95%CI 0.92 to 1.91, P=0.13), and neonatal mortality rate (RR=0.31, 95%CI 0.03 to 2.76, P=0.29). Conclusion Compared with elective double embryo transfer, during each transfer period elective single embryo transfer reduces the live birth rate, multiple pregnancy rate, preterm birth rate, and low birth weight rate. No significant difference was found between the two groups in the other indicators.
Objective To systematically review the effectiveness of letrozole combined with GnRH antagonist for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in poor responders. Methods Such databases as VIP, CNKI, PubMed, EMbase and FMJS were electronically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs on the effectiveness of letrozole combined with GnRH antagonist for IVF-ET. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed methodological quality. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Six studies involving 977 patients were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, for IVF-ET poor responders, compared with the control group, the letrozole combined with GnRH antagonist group had less dosage of Gn (MD=–8.05, 95%CI –13.67 to –2.43, P=0.005), and lower serum E2 value on the day of HCG administration (MD= –1 026.41, 95%CI –1 949.61 to –103.20, P=0.03). However, no significant difference was found in the number of ocytes obtained (MD= –0.61, 95%CI –2.41 to –1.19, P=0.51) and clinical pregnancy rates (OR=1.03, 95%CI 0.53 to 2.02, P=0.92) between the two groups. Conclusion As for the effectiveness of impelling-ovulation treatment for IVF-ET in poor responders, letrozole combined with GnRH antagonist is similar to the control scheme in clinical outcomes, but it reduces the dosage of Gn and treatment costs of IVF-ET, which provides another clinical option for poor responders. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies as well as the difference in methodology, we suggest this above conclusion could be taken as a reference for clinical analysis which needs to be further evaluated in its effects.
Objective To compare proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and H2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) for both the prevention of bleeding and the healing of ulcer after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), so as to provide best evidence for treating ESD-induced ulcer in clinic. Methods Databases including PubMed, CENTRAL, EMbase, ISI Web of Knowledge, VIP, CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data were searched from the date of their establishment to October 26, 2012 to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparison of PPI and H2RA on the prevention of bleeding and the healing of ulcer after ESD. Meanwhile the references of the included studies were also retrieved manually. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed by four reviewers independently, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 6 studies involving 616 patients were included finally. The results of meta-analysis showed that: for the prevention of ulcer bleeding after ESD, PPI preceded H2RA apparently (OR=0.51, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.89, P=0.02), especially when the treatment course was 8-week (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.22 to 0.82, P=0.01); but among the merged, 8-week and 4-week groups, there were no significant differences between PPI and H2RA in the healing of ESD-induced ulcer (OR=0.85, 95%CI 0.39 to 1.86, P=0.69; OR=1.33, 95%CI 0.28 to 6.27, P=0.72; OR=0.75, 95%CI 0.31 to 1.79, P=0.52). Conclusion PPI is superior to H2RA for the prevention of ulcer bleeding induced by ESD, but there is no significant difference between them in the healing of ulcer, so PPI is recommended to prevent ESD-induced ulcer bleeding in clinic. Due to the limitation of quantity and quality of the included studies, the safety of PPI has to be further proved by conducting more high quality, large scale and multicenter RCTs.
Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of GnRH antagonist on vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods We searched CBMdisc (1979 to 2010), Wanfang (1994 to 2010), CNKI (1994 to 2010), VIP (1989 to 2010), PubMed (1997 to 2010), PML (1997 to 2010), FMJS (2000-2010), and 9 related journals to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the comparison between GnRH antagonist (GnRHA) and GnRH agonist (GnRHa). The quality of included trials was critically appraised. RevMan 4.2.7 software was used for statistical analysis. Results Six published RCTs involving 1 208 participants were included. Compared with the GnRHa group, stimulation duration in the GnRHA group was lower (WMD= –1.07, 95%CI –1.38 to –0.76), dose of gonadotrophins (Gns) in the GnRHA group was slightly lower (WMD= –0.49, 95%CI –1.63 to 0.66), endometrial thickness at the time of HCG administration was no significant difference in the two groups (WMD= –0.09, 95%CI –0.42 to 0.24), number of oocytes retrieved in the GnRHA group was lower (WMD= –1.80, 95%CI –2.48 to –1.12), OHSS rate in the GnRHA group was slightly lower (Peto OR= 0.77, 95%CI 0.35 to 1.72), pregnancy rate in the GnRHA group was slightly lower (Peto OR= 0.83, 95%CI 0.65 to 1.05), miscarraige rate as no significant difference in the two groups (Peto OR= 1.49, 95%CI 0.79 to 2.82). Conclusions Compared with GnRHa, GnRHA requires shorter stimulation duration and less Gn, less affected the pregnancy rate, and reduces the incidence of OHSS. The use of GnRHA in clinical practice is relatively flexible with good acceptability. GnRHA for the superovulation IVF-ET offers an alternative treatment. The above conclusion still needs more well-designed, multi-center, and large-scale RCTs to confirm and update.

ObjectiveTo explore the expressions of prostaglandin F2α receptor (PTGFR) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in tissues of benign bile duct scar and their significances, and investigate the regulating effect of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) on the expression of PTGFR in human bile duct fibroblasts cultured in vitro. MethodsThe samples of common bile duct (CBD) scars were collected from 18 patients with benign bile duct scar stricture and 6 cases of normal CBD tissues from liver transplantation donor were collected as control. The expressions of PTGFR and COX-2 were detected by immunohistochemical strept-avidin-biotin complex (SABC) method. Semiquantitative RT-PCR and ELISA methods were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of PTGFR in bile duct fibroblasts which were effected by TGF-β1 with different concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 30 ng/ml) for 24 h. ResultsThe positive rates of PTGFR and COX-2 were 88.9% (16/18) and 83.3% (15/18) in tissues of benigh CBD scar and 33.3% (2/6) and 0 (0/6) in normal CBD tissues (Plt;0.05). The expressions of the PTGFR mRNA and protein levels became upregulated when the concentrations of the TGF-β1 became higher in human bile duct fibroblasts (Plt;0.05). And the effect was concentration dependant to some extent. ConclusionsThe high expressions of PTGFR and COX-2 play important roles in the process of benign bile duct stricture formation. TGF-β1 is able to induce higher expressions of PTGFR mRNA level and the PTGFR protein level in a concentration dependent manner, and regulate the formation of benign bile duct stricture.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of undernutrition, nutritional risk as well as nutritional support in patients with gastrointestinal tumor. MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, patients with gastrointestinal tumor were recruited from Septemper 2009 to June 2011. Patients were screened by using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) at admission. Data of the nutritional risk, application of nutritional support, complications, and tumor staging were collected. ResultsNine hundred and sixty-one patients with gastrointestinal tumor were recruited, the overall prevalence of nutritional risk was 38.9% (374/961) at admission, 49.2% （176/358） in gastric tumor and 32.8% （198/603） in colorectal tumor, respectively. The highest prevalence was found in stage Ⅳ gastric tumor 〔87.3% (48/55)〕 and colorectal tumor 〔58.8% (50/85)〕 while the lowest prevalence was found in stage ⅡA gastric tumor 〔16.1% (5/31)〕 and stageⅠcolorectal tumor 〔9.8% (6/61)〕. 62.3% (152/244) of gastric tumor patients with nutritional risk while 48.6% (144/296) without nutritional risk received nutritional support. 37.7% (92/244) of colorectal tumor patients with nutritional risk while 51.4% (152/296) without nutritional risk received nutritional support. The ratio of parental nutrition and enteral nutrition was 1.251. The rate of complications in the gastrointestinal tumor patients with nutritional risk was higher than that in the patients without nutritional risk 〔32.4% (121/374) versus 20.4% (120/587), P=0.000 0〕. For the gastrointestinal tumor patients with nutritional risk, the complication rate of the patients with nutritional support was significantly lower than that of the patients without nutritional support 〔27.5% (67/244) versus 40.8% (53/130), P=0.008 6〕. For the gas trointestinal tumor patients without nutritional risk, the complication rate of gastric tumor patients with nutritional support was significantly lower than that of the patients without nutritional support (P=0.039 6), while the complication rate was not significantly different in the colorectal tumor patients with nutritional support or not (P=0.464 7). ConclusionsPatient with gastrointestinal tumor has a high nutritional risk which is related to tumor staging. Patients with nutritional risk have more complications, and nutritional support is beneficial to the patients with nutritional risk by a lower complication rate.
Objective To summarize the research progress of preoperative staging diagnosis for gastric cancer. Methods Both the domestic and international literatures involving the preoperative staging diagnosis of gastric cancer in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results Transabdominal ultrosonography, EUS, CT, MRI, PET and diagnostic laparoscopy could provide objective evidences, and enhanced the accuracy of preoperative staging diagnosis for gastric cancer. Conclusion With the development of examination methods, the assessment of preoperative staging diagnosis of gastric cancer has been improved, and operation strategy can be made according to the correct preoperative staging.
Objective To evaluate the value of plain and dual-phasic enhanced 16-slice CT in the diagnosis and preoperative TNM staging of the gastric carcinoma, and to discuss the relationship between image signs and pathologic findings. Methods Fifty-three cases of the gastric carcinoma confirmed histopathologically underwent 16-slice CT examination. The scan protocol included plain scanning, the arterial phase and portal venous phase scanning. The manifestation of the three series images and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images were analyzed. Results ①The accuracies of 16-slice CT for the T stage, the N stage and the M stage of the gastric carcinoma were 83.02%, 80.00% and 92.45% respectively. ②The overall accuracy of 16-slice CT for judging TNM stage was 84.91%. Conclusion The plain scan and dual phase enhanced scans of 16-slice CT, especially the thin slice and MPR with proper windows technique are helpful for the diagnosis of gastric carcinoma and the TNM stage, which is useful for the selection of the operative project and the therapy plan.
