Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of the effects of different blood conservation techniques in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
To probe into the influences of different blood conservation techniques on the postoperative coagulation function and prognosis of elderly patients receiving Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). ⋯ The ANH group exhibits higher content of hemoglobin and fewer platelet (Plt)activating factors produced than the ABT group, while no significant difference in the shortened length of hospital stays is found.

Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of arthroscopic internal fixation with countersunk screw in the treatment of talus fracture.
To explore clinical effects of arthroscopic internal fixation with countersunk screw in the treatment of talus fracture. ⋯ Arthroscopic internal fixation with countersunk screw can significantly improve the efficacy and ankle joint functions, shorten the fracture-healing time and hospital stays without increasing the incidence of complications.

Randomized Controlled TrialPreliminary efficacy, feasibility and safety of intra-umbilical oxytocin to reduce the time to placental delivery at caesarean section: an exploratory randomized trial.
Delayed placental separation either after vaginal birth or caesarean birth is an important cause of postpartum haemorrhage, among other causes such as uterine atony. Intra-umbilical oxytocin has been shown to reduce the time to placental delivery after vaginal birth. However, the efficacy of intra-umbilical oxytocin to reduce the time to placental delivery following caesarean section birth is not known. ⋯ Administration of intra-umbilical oxytocin is feasible, safe and has potential to reduce the time of placental delivery at caesarean section. Further studies involving larger sample sizes are justified.

Randomized Controlled TrialChinese pediatric Tuina can prevent premature infant feeding intolerance and is conducive to weight gain: a prospective randomized controlled study.
Preterm birth is one of the most important health problems in the world. Feeding intolerance is one of the most common and serious complications of premature infant. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of Chinese pediatric Tuina on the prevention of feeding intolerance in favour of weight gain in premature infants. ⋯ Chinese pediatric Tuina can effectively prevent the occurrence of feeding intolerance in premature infants and be conducive to the weight gain and improving nutritional status of premature infants.
