Abstract Background: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a very common disorder, and it is the second leading reason that leads to blindness worldwide after cataracts. Previous studies have reported that dorzolamide/timolol-fixed combination (DTFC) can be used to treat patients with POAG. However, there are still inconsistent results. Thus, this study will systematically investigate the efficacy and safety of DTFC for the treatment of patients with POAG.Methods: A comprehensive search will be carried out in the electronic databases of Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHI, ACMD, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data from origin to the March 1, 2020. There are no limitations related to the language and publication status. Only randomized controlled trials that assessed the efficacy and safety of DTFC for the treatment of POAG will be included. Two researchers will independently undertake record selection, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment. Any divisions will be solved by discussion with a third researcher. We will perform statistical analysis using RevMan 5.3 softwareDiscussion: This study will summarize present evidence to identify the efficacy and safety of DTFC for the treatment of POAG through mean intraocular pressure, best corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, bioelectric activity of the retina, rate of progression of glaucoma, quality of life, and adverse events. The results of this study will help to determine whether DTFC is effective and safety for the treatment of POAG.Systematic review registration: INPLASY202040120.

Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is one of the most wide-spread and threatening infectious diseases in human history. Experts in the field of medicine and biology are working to develop methods to treat and prevent COVID-19. Currently, COVID-19 is predominantly treated with symptomatic therapy and there is still a lack of effective antiviral therapy. Therefore, the prevention and control of novel coronavirus is primarily focused on vaccine development. Several vaccines have been developed, but their relative efficacy and safety have not been proven. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines.Methods and analysis: The electronic databases we will use to retrieve information include PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database and Weipu Electronics. The retrieval period is from the establishment of the database to March 2021. All randomized controlled trials in humans vaccinated with COVID-19 were collected, and data were independently selected and extracted according to predesigned inclusion/exclusion criteria. Full-text screening, data extraction and quality assessment were conducted independently by two reviewers. Two additional investigators will conduct report quality, risk of bias, sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis to ensure the reliability of our study results. The software RevMan 5.3 was used for statistical analysis. Systematic review and meta-analyses will be conducted to evaluate the pooled evidence of efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.Result: This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.Conclusion: The conclusions of this study will provide an evidence-based analysis of the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42021242581

Abstract Background Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a common condition after general anesthesia (GA). Previous studies have reported that propofol can ameliorate the occurrence of such disorder. However, its results are still inconsistent. Therefore, this systematic review will assess the efficacy and safety of propofol on POCD after GA. Methods Literature sources will be sought from inception to the present in Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the administration of propofol on POCD after GA. All searches will be carried out without limitations to language and publication status. Outcomes comprise of cognitive impairments changes, impairments in short-term memory, concentration, language comprehension, social integration, quality of life, and adverse events. Cochrane risk of bias tool will be utilized to assess study quality. We will evaluate the quality of evidence for each outcome using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. A narrative synthesis or a meta-analysis will be undertaken as appropriate. Discussion This study will systematically and comprehensively search literature and integrate evidence on the efficacy and safety of propofol on POCD after GA. Our findings will be of interest to clinicians and health-related policy makers. Systematic review registration PROSPERO CRD42020164096
