including complete lipidol retention and the absence of residual tumor blush were significantly correlated with achievement of CR in the patients with small-sized HCC. Patients with CR after TACE had a significantly longer overall survival than those without (31.29 vs 22.63 months, P = .021).Complete lipidol retention and the absence of residual tumor blush were correlated with the radiological complete tumor response of these patients with small-sized early-stage HCC receiving TACE. Dysphagia is a commonly occurring condition in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients after radiotherapy. There has been an increasing number of studies focused on assessing the use of acupuncture to manage dysphagia. Moreover, the quality of the research has gradually increased. The present research will be conducted to systematically evaluate the efficiency and safety of using acupuncture to treat cases of dysphagia after radiation therapy in NPC patients. Literature search will include all potential randomized controlled trials using MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese BioMedical Literature, and WanFang database from their inception to May, 2021 without language or publication status restrictions, to evaluate the efficiency and safety of using acupuncture to treat dysphagia cases following radiation therapy in NPC patients. A couple of independent authors will select related literature, extract data from studies, and estimate this risk in the bias of the selected study articles. In the instance of contrasting opinions, the outcome is mediated through discussion with a different independent author. The data synthesis and statistical analysis will be completed with the RevMan software (version 5.3). This study will evaluate the efficiency and safety of using acupuncture to treat dysphagia cases after radiation therapy in NPC patients. This study will determine the suitability of acupuncture as an effective and safe intervention for dysphagia in NPC patients after radiotherapy. The present study does not need ethical approval.

External application of herbal medicines (EAHM) has been pervasively used in the therapy of AV. EAHM , as the traditional Chinese therapy, is widely applied in clinical trials for AV. The aim of this review is to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of EAHM in the therapy for AV. We will conduct an electronic search of 13 databases from their inception to May, 2020, including PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SpringerLink, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, Wanfang China database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, as well as China's Conference Papers Database and China Dissertation database. Other valid search strategies will also be retrieved to complete this review. All randomized controlled trials in which EAHM was used for the treatment of AV will be adopted. Two researchers will select eligible studies respectively according to a predefined protocol. Methodological quality will be assessed with Cochrane risk of bias by means of RevMan V.5.3.5 software. This systematic view will present a high-quality synthesis based on current evidence of EAHM intervention for AV patients. The summary of our systematic view will provide evidence to judge whether EAHM is an effective and safe intervention for AV patients. The summary of our systematic view will provide evidence to judge whether EAHM is an effective and safe intervention for AV patients. Music therapy has been widely used clinically to relieve insomnia disorder patients. However, the efficacy of music therapy in the treatment of insomnia disorder patients is uncertain. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of music therapy in the treatment of insomnia disorder patients. Search PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang Database, China Science and Technology Journal Database, China Biomedical Literature Database, and search-related randomized controlled trials. Two reviewers will independently select studies, collect data, and evaluate methodological quality through the Cochrane Deviation Risk Tool. Revman V.5.3 will be used for meta-analysis. This study will evaluate the current status of music therapy treatment for insomnia disorder patients, aiming to illustrate the effectiveness and safety of music therapy treatment. This study will provide a basis for judging whether music therapy is effective in treating insomnia disorder patients. INPLASY202150087. INPLASY202150087. With the aggravation of population aging, the incidence of intertrochanteric fracture also increases dramatically. Patients are often elderly accompany with severe osteoporosis and various complications. Therefore, we should select an individualized treatment based on the each patient's state. Arthroplasty is recommended for unstable fractures with obvious osteoporosis, ipsilateral femoral head necrosis or arthritis. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/k-ras-g12c-inhibitor9.html Rigid fixation of the greater trochanter with arthroplasty is challenging because of the powerful pulling forces created by multiple muscles being transmitted to the greater trochanter. Currently, there are few contemporary literatures on the evaluation of unstable intertrochanteric fracture with efficient fixation of the greater trochanter. Moreover, there is no consensus to choose which implant to immobilize the greater trochanter. The purpose of this study was to review previous literatures and provide a valuable guidance. The locking plate, which not only provides rigid fixation but also results in lower rate of postoperative complications. However, further prospective randomized and cohort studies are needed.
