Tenofovir and Entecavir are recommended as the first-line medicine of treatment for chronic hepatitis B. The occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after the treatment of chronic hepatitis B is a major problem. For the time being it is still unclear whether there remains a difference in risk correlation of hepatocellular carcinoma after the treatment of Tenofovir and Entecavir for chronic hepatitis B. Since previous studies have raised different ideas, this article aims to come to a conclusion targeting such a topic through analyzing the latest data. ⋯ The occurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma after the treatment of tenofovir for chronic hepatitis B is lower than that of the treatment of entecavir.

Accumulating evidence supported the clinical efficacy of Danhong injection (DHI) on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is urgent to summarize the effects of DHI on various outcomes in COPD patients and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of DHI in treating COPD. ⋯ Taken together, this study suggested that DHI could ameliorate hemorheological indicators, lung function, arterial blood gas, and as well as coagulation functions of COPD patients and elucidate the underlying mechanism of DHI against COPD.

This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy of intramedullary and extramedullary femoral alignment technique in treating total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. ⋯ The present meta-analysis showed that intramedullary and extramedullary femoral alignment technique had comparable precise profiles. And extramedullary femoral alignment technique could reduce blood loss and blood transfusion. Total complications were comparable between the groups. More randomized controlled trials with large samples are required to verify the comparison of intramedullary and extramedullary femoral alignment technique in TKA patients.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) has remained controversial in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. To our knowledge, there is no larger sample size of research to demonstrate the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy in the human suboccipital region on hamstring muscle. ⋯ CST could change the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. CST had a better curative effect when compared to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on the hamstring muscles.
