Chronic non-atrophic gastritis is the most common type of chronic gastritis. Even if treated with current standard pharmacotherapy, the efficacy is not very satisfactory due to many factors. Traditional Chinese Medicine decoctions are increasingly used in the treatment of chronic gastritis, and many studies have shown that Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis. However, it is controversy if Xiangsha Liujunzi decoction can provide an evidence-based clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis. ⋯ Identifier: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/TX27U (https://osf.io/tx27u/).

Gastric cancer (GC) has high incidence and mortality worldwide, and peritoneal metastasis is a primary cause of mortality in patients. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a feasible and effective treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies have been combined with HIPEC for certain therapeutic advantages, but there is a lacking of evidence of evidence-based medicine. Therefore, we provide a protocol to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TCM therapies combined with HIPEC in the treatment for peritoneal metastasis of GC. ⋯ INPLASY2020120048.

Vascular complications at the puncture site is a common complication after femoral artery puncture. It will not only affect the postoperative effect and patient comfort, but also may endanger the life of the patient. The effective compression hemostasis methods at the puncture site can improve the comfort of the patient, shorten the hospital stay, and reduce the burden on the medical staff. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different compression methods after femoral artery puncture. ⋯ INPLASY2020120094.
