Review Meta AnalysisCorticosteroids usage and central serous chorioretinopathy: a meta-analysis.
This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether usage of corticosteroids was associated with an increased risk of central serous chorioretinopathy by summarizing all available evidence. ⋯ In conclusion, this meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with the usage of corticosteroids had an increased risk of central serous chorioretinopathy. Patients who were prescribed with corticosteroids need greater attention to their retina health. Also, all central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients should avoid the use of corticosteroids as much as they possibly can.

Meta AnalysisAssociation between DNA repair genes (XPD and XRCC1) polymorphisms and susceptibility to age-related cataract (ARC): a meta-analysis.
DNA repair gene (XPD and XRCC1) polymorphisms have been considered as risk factors for the development of age-related cataract (ARC). To confirm the association between DNA repair gene (XPD and XRCC1) polymorphisms and the risk of ARC, a meta-analysis was conducted. ⋯ Our meta-analysis suggested that the CC genotype of XPD Lys751Gln (A/C) SNP seemed to portend a decreased risk for ARC in Caucasian populations but not in Asian populations. The A allele and GA genotype of XRCC1 Arg399Gln (G/A) SNP might increase risk for ARC in Asian populations but not in Caucasian populations. More researches with larger and more different ethnic populations on this issue are therefore necessary.
