Vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes or night sweats) are closely related to the impaired quality of life in menopausal women. Fenugreek is the ripe seed of Trigonella foenum graecum Linn. In China, this plant is used to relieve menopausal symptoms in women. Although recent studies have shown that fenugreek may have a good effect on the menopausal symptoms, there is no meta-analysis to systematically evaluate its efficacy in improving menopausal vasomotor symptoms. ⋯ 10.17605/OSF.IO/3BCY8.

Case Reports
Successful sirolimus therapy of an aplastic anemia patient with chronic kidney disease: A case report.
It is very difficult to treat patients with aplastic anemia accompanied by chronic kidney disease. The nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine limits its use in these patients. Most of these patients also lack suitable sibling donors. Sirolimus, as a new type of immunosuppressive agent, has good therapeutic effect, lower toxicity, especially lower nephrotoxicity, thus attracting the attention of hematologists. ⋯ We consider that sirolimus is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated oral drug that can be used as a treatment for aplastic anemia patients with chronic kidney disease.

Comparative Study Observational Study
Injectable calcium sulfate vs mixed bone graft of autologous iliac bone and allogeneic bone: Which is the better bone graft material for unicameral bone cyst in humerus?
Unicameral bone cyst (UBC) is a benign fluid-filled lesion, mainly located in the metaphyses of long bones in children and adolescents. Elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN) is adopted in our institute for UBCs since 2010, and bone grafting was performed simultaneously. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ESIN decompression combined with different bone graft materials. ⋯ As for the Capanna classification, there was no significant difference between these 2 groups (P = .78). Intramedullary nailing has the advantage of a minimally invasive procedure, immediate stability, and continuous decompression. ICS showed similar results as a mixture of the autologous iliac bone and allogeneic bone.
