Traditional Chinese medicine Naoxintong capsules have achieved good results in the treatment of vascular dementia, but there is no evidence-based medical evidence on the effectiveness and safety of the drug. Therefore, this study uses meta-analysis method to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Naoxintong capsules in the treatment of vascular dementia, with the aim of providing scientific guidance for clinical treatment and practice. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/YVF72, https://osf.io/yvf72.

Hip synovitis is a common hip disorder in children and a frequent cause of hip or groin pain in children. Its onset is rapid and poses a threat to patient health. Conventional treatment methods have suboptimal efficacy and large side effects. Clinical study surface, the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on hip synovitis in children is obvious. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review the efficacy and safety of TCM on hip synovitis in children. ⋯ This systematic review explores the efficacy and safety of TCM for the treatment of hip synovitis in children and provides an update on its clinical use.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) has gradually developed into a multiple disease of the digestive system that most patients may be accompanied by mental and emotional disorders, such as insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Acupoint herbal patching (AHP) is usually used as an alternative therapy for patients with FD. This study aimed to design a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the effects of AHP on FD. ⋯ The findings of this systematic review will provide evidence to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of AHP for FD.

Depression is a common mental illness often associated with insomnia. Baduanjin exercise has been found to improve depressive symptoms and has also been found to have good effects on insomnia. However, there are no rigorous clinical studies to evaluate the effects of Baduanjin exercise on depressed patients with insomnia, so this randomized controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy of Qigong Baduanjin exercise in treating depression with insomnia. ⋯ This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Baduanjin exercise in the treatment of depression with insomnia, and the results of this study will provide a clinical basis for the treatment of depression with insomnia.Trial registration: OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/KC48H.

Case Reports
Circulation collapse caused by intracardiac thrombosis associated with tranexamic acid administration: A case report.
Perioperative administration of tranexamic acid has been suggested to reduce bleeding and blood transfusion requirements in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Despite being sporadic, the potential risk for thrombotic complications cannot be ignored. However, intracardiac thrombosis associated with tranexamic acid administration is rare. We described a case of circulatory collapse caused by intracardiac thrombosis associated with tranexamic acid administration for a scheduled knee arthroplasty. ⋯ This case reminds clinicians that perioperative tranexamic acid administration may increase the risk of thrombosis, which needs focused attention from anesthesiologists. Prompt transesophageal echocardiography examination should be done to allow immediate diagnosis and effective thrombolysis therapy when unexplained cardiac arrest occurs during anesthesia.
