Development dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common childhood orthopedic disease in clinic. The cause of DDH is not yet clear. If DDH is not treated promptly or correctly, it will seriously affect the life quality of the child. At present, surgery is the main means of treating older DDH, but it is easy to appear development dysplasia of the hip after surgery, and the joint movement is limited after surgery. For modern medicine, it has not many treatments to solve this problem. As one of the commonly used treatment methods, but the effect of routine functional exercise is not ideal. Traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and washing belongs to the category of Chinese medicine external treatment, which can directly act on the focus. It has the functions of relaxing muscles and tendons and removing obstruction from meridians, activating blood to eliminate stagnation. It has achieved good effects in relieving joint disorders, but it is lack of the high-quality evidence support, so there is controversy about the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and washing. This study will conduct a systematic review to compare the application effect and safety of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and washing as a complementary and alternative therapy and traditional rehabilitation training in the treatment of postoperative joint function recovery after development dysplasia of the hip in children. The research results will provide evidence-based medical evidence to support the choice of treatment for the disease. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/RUHK5.

Baduanjin, as an ancient Chinese exercise, is beneficial to both physical and mental health. Moreover, researchers discovered that Baduanjin has effects on the recovery of postoperative breast cancer patients. Yet, nobody focused on the systematic review, which can provide convincing evidence to verify the effect of Baduanjin in breast cancer patients. Therefore, our study will conduct a systematic review to fill in the blank, besides we will offer new evidence for clinical workers. ⋯ Evidence that adequately assesses the effect of Baduanjin in the recovery of breast cancer patients will be confirmed through this systematic review. Our study will offer a guideline for clinical workers, besides we will supply a new way for the rehabilitation of breast cancer patients.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the human digestive system, which seriously affects people's quality of life. As an effective treatment for GC, traditional Chinese medicine can effectively alleviate patients' clinical symptoms, improve the quality of life, and delay the life cycle. A large number of clinical studies have shown that Banxia Xiexin Decoction has shown a good effect in the treatment of GC. It has achieved good curative effect whether it is used alone or combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which may play a more significant role in the treatment of GC. However, there is still no evidence of evidence-based medicine. Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Banxia Xiexin Decoction as a complementary treatment for GC. ⋯ INPLASY202140060.

Infections and sepsis are common causes of morbidity and mortality, with an increasing incidence worldwide. Leptin is involved in the inflammatory process and may modulate the cytokine production, immune cell proliferation and endothelial function. There are conflicting results regarding alterations of leptin levels in infectious diseases and the outcome from sepsis.The aim of the current article is to provide an overview of the medical literature on the correlations between variations of leptin levels and infectious diseases and sepsis. ⋯ The multiple effects of leptin are of growing interest, but further studies are needed to elucidate the role of leptin signalling in infectious diseases and sepsis. Because very few human studies are reported, we recommend the need for further research.Better understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis and the implication of circulating total leptin in this process could help physicians in managing this life-threatening condition.

This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the therapeutic effect and safety of subthreshold micropulse laser (SML) vs photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC). ⋯ Based on the available evidence, this meta-analysis demonstrated that SML may be considered as a competitive alternative to PDT for treating cCSC, and as the first-line treatment of cCSC.
