Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Danhong injection on cardiac function and blood lipid in patients with angina pectoris of coronary heart disease: A protocol for randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Angina pectoris of coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Danhong injection is a supplement for angina pectoris of coronary heart disease. A large number of studies have confirmed its efficacy and safety. However, there is no rigorous clinical study to evaluate the effects of Danhong injection on cardiac function and blood lipid in patients with angina pectoris of coronary heart disease. ⋯ This study will evaluate the efficacy of Danhong injection in improving cardiac function and blood lipid in patients with angina pectoris of coronary heart disease. The results of this study will provide reference for clinical use of Danhong injection to improve cardiac function and blood lipid in patients with angina pectoris of coronary heart disease.Trial registration: OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/TPZJ5.

From the perspective of evidence-based medicine, the efficacy and safety of combined therapy for marrow suppression after chemotherapy is still unclear. Given that there is no high-quality meta-analysis to incorporate existing evidence, the purpose of this protocol is to design a systematically review and meta-analysis of the level I evidence to ascertain the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine preparation for marrow suppression after chemotherapy. ⋯ This protocol will provide a reliable theoretical basis for the following research.

Meta Analysis
Acupuncture therapy for gastric ulcer: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Gastric ulcer (GU) is a clinically common disease of the digestive system that adversely affects patients' quality of life and work ability. Although some articles have reported that acupuncture can improve the clinical symptoms of GU, the efficacy of acupuncture has not been scientifically or methodically evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for the treatment of patients with gastric ulcers. ⋯ CRD42021251067.

Primary liver cancer (PLC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and its incidence and fatality rate are increasing year by year. Due to the large population base in China, the aging population is severely affected by environmental pollution, eating habits, and unhealthy lifestyles. And many other influences have caused the number of new PLC cases and deaths in China to rank first in the world. Acupuncture combined with external application of Chinese medicine to treat PLC is currently one of the commonly used treatments in China. However, this combined treatment still lacks evidence-based medicine support. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with external application of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of PLC. ⋯ This study will provide evidence-based guidance for the treatment of PLC with acupuncture and the external application of traditional Chinese medicine and offers new ideas and methods for the treatment of PLC.

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a very common event in elderly noncardiac surgical patients. The effects of inhalational anaesthetics and propofol on the incidence of POCD and postoperative cognitive status at different time points after surgery are currently unclear. ⋯ The sample size was not sufficiently large for systemic inflammation, and the tools to identify POCD were not uniform in the included studies.
