Randomized Controlled Trial
Efficacy of Wen-Dan Decoction in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a heart disease caused by myocardial ischemia, hypoxia or necrosis due to stenosis or occlusion of lumen caused by coronary atherosclerosis. It belongs to ischemic cardiomyopathy and is more common in clinic. Previous studies have shown that Wen-Dan Decoction (WDD) is safe and effective, but there is a lack of systematic reviews. The purpose of this study is to systematically study the efficacy of WDD in the treatment of patients with CHD. ⋯ 2021110001.

Although preventing triceps fragment displacement is essential for treating an olecranon fracture, we frequently encounter situations in which only a few screws can be fixed to the triceps fragment. The aim of this study was to compare the stability of double-plate fixation and posterior plate fixation for olecranon fractures when the triceps fragment was small and only 2 screws could be inserted. ⋯ This study showed that when 2 triceps screws were used, both groups were stable during light exercise, but posterior-plating was stronger than double-plating.

Lumbar segmental instability (LSI) is due to a pathologic movement of the vertebral body on the vertebra below and often causes clinical symptoms. The study was to achieve the research progress of diagnosing methodology for lumbar segmental instability and help clinicians make treatment choices. ⋯ Overall, there have been a variety of researches to develop the diagnosing methodology for LSI, and many have been successful, although no consensus has been reached yet. However, it is believed that the diagnosis of LSI will become easier and more accurate in the near future.
