Allergic rhinitis (AR) is one of the most common chronic disease of the nasal mucosa globally. Several clinical studies have shown that sanfu acupoint herbal patching (SAHP) has obvious advantages in treating AR. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SAHP for treating AR. ⋯ INPLASY2020100101.

We aim to evaluate the efficiency of Raman spectroscopy (RS) in diagnosing suspected patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), manifested by diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. ⋯ Through this systematic review and meta-analysis, we intend to provide the pooled sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of RS in the diagnosis of suspected ICC. Other parameters like positive likelihood ratios (LR), negative LR, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under curve (AUC) of the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) curve will also be calculated and related figures will be drawn to help illustrate the efficacy of RS in the diagnosis of ICC.

Diabetic foot ulcers are the most common complication among diabetic patients, which may put the patients in a great danger of amputation. Astragalus as a Chinese herbal medicine has been reported in many publications that it has an efficacy toward diabetic foot ulcers. However, the systematic review and meta-analysis of its efficacy and safety are still absent. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Astragalus for diabetic foot ulcers. ⋯ Inplasy protocol 2020110059. (doi:10.37766/inplasy2020.11.00596).

Rotator cuff injury is the most common cause of shoulder dysfunction. Despite the continuous advancement of surgical techniques, the incidence of re-tearing after rotator cuff repair is still high. The main reason is that it is difficult to reconstruct the normal tendon bone interface and the process is slow, and the application of tissue engineering technology can promote tendon and bone healing. This study will evaluate the effect of the bionic double membrane stent on the rotator cuff healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. ⋯ DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/FWKD6.
