Comparative Study[Comparative study of the MELD-Na and Child-Turcotte-Pugh scores as short-term prognostic indicators of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure].
To compare the clinical values of the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)-Na scoring system and the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scoring system for predicting the short-term prognosis of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure. ⋯ The MELD-Na scoring system is slightly superior to the CTP scoring system for predicting short-term prognosis of acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure.The predictive value may improve for both the MELD-Na score and the CTP score when combined with expert clinical practice and experience.

[Preoperative risk factors of portal venous thrombosis after splenectomy and gastric pericardial devascularization for portal hypertension].
To investigate the preoperative risk factors of portal venous thrombosis (PVT) after splenectomy and gastric pericardial devascularization in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. ⋯ Portal vein diameter and history of upper gastric bleeding were independent risk factors for PVT occurrence after splenectomy and gastric pericardial devascularization in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study[A randomized placebo-controlled multicentre study of Fuzhenghuayu capsule for prevention of oesophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis].
To evaluate the efficacy of Fuzhenghuayu capsule for the prevention of oesophageal variceal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. ⋯ Fuzhenghuayu capsule can decrease the cumulative probability of bleeding in cirrhotic patients with light oesophageal varices. For cirrhosis patients with a history of oesophageal variceal bleeding, the combination of Fuzhenghuayu capsule plus propranolol can decrease the cumulative probability of bleeding with median or heavy varices.

Review Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of ursodeoxycholic acid and S-adenosylmethionine for improving the outcomes of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy].
To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that have assessed the effect and safety of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) and UDCA-SAMe combination therapies for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). ⋯ UDCA-SAMe combination therapy is better than either UDCA or SAMe monotherapy for improving the outcome of ICP without adverse effects. Large-scale trials with adequate sample sizes and higher quality study design are needed to further confirm the efficiency and safety of UDCA and SAMe for treating ICP.
