Review Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of ursodeoxycholic acid and S-adenosylmethionine for improving the outcomes of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy].
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that have assessed the effect and safety of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and UDCA-SAMe combination therapies for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). ⋯ UDCA-SAMe combination therapy is better than either UDCA or SAMe monotherapy for improving the outcome of ICP without adverse effects. Large-scale trials with adequate sample sizes and higher quality study design are needed to further confirm the efficiency and safety of UDCA and SAMe for treating ICP.

Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of branched chain amino acid-enriched nutrition to improve hepatic function in patients undergoing hepatic operation].
To perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the benefit of providing branched chain amino acid (BCAA)-enriched nutrition to improve hepatic function in patients undergoing hepatic operation. ⋯ BCAA-enriched nutrition improves hepatic function in patients undergoing hepatic operation, thereby helping to reduce the complication risk, duration of hospital stay, and financial burden. BCAA-enriched nutrition is a safe and effective therapy and further clinical application may be beneficial.
