Meta Analysis[The influence of intensive insulin therapy on the mortality of critically ill patients in intensive care unit: a meta-analysis].
To assess the influence of intensive insulin therapy (IIT), as compared with conventional insulin therapy (CIT), on mortality of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) by Meta-analysis. ⋯ IIT tends to lower the mortality rate, infection rate, and complications in critically ill patients in the ICU as compared with CIT. Also with IIT the target blood glucose can be easier reached than CIT. The therapy can improve the quality of life. However, IIT is not as good as CIT in the control of hypoglycemia.

Review Meta Analysis[Evaluation of efficacy of thymosin alpha1 in the treatment of sepsis: a systematic review].
To assess the effects of thymosin alpha1 to enhance immunity and on the prognosis of sepsis. ⋯ The current evidence shows that thymosin alpha1 improves the immuno-suppression and helps recovery of the patient from disease. However not enough evidence is found in decreasing the mortality. Further randomized controlled trials should include the dosage, duration of the treatment and timing of using thymosin alpha1.
