Randomized Controlled Trial
The efficacy and safety of multiple doses of oral tranexamic acid on blood loss, inflammatory and fibrinolysis response following total knee arthroplasty: A randomized controlled trial.
The aim of the study was to identify the efficacy and safety of multiple doses of oral tranexamic acid (TXA) on reducing blood loss and minimizing the postoperative inflammatory and fibrinolytic responses following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ Level Ⅰ, therapeutic study.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The role of thymus preservation in parathyroid gland function and surgical completeness after bilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid cancer: A randomized controlled study.
The clinical value of thymus preservation during thyroid carcinoma surgery remains unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the role of bilateral thymus preservation in parathyroid glands (PGs) function and surgical completeness in total thyroidectomy (TT) with bilateral central lymph node dissection (CLND). ⋯ Thymus preservation had benefits on protecting PGs and promoting rapid clinical resolution of hypoparathyroidism. It had no effects on oncologic completeness of TT with bilateral CLND.
