Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes excess risk of fracture at varied sites. Whereas, the difference between the roles of types 1 DM (T1DM) and 2 DM (T2DM) diabetes in the risk of fractures remains limited and inconclusive. We, therefore, conducted a meta-analysis to assess the differences for the associations of T1DM and T2DM with the risk of fractures.Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library for eligible studies until May 2021. The odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the pooled effect estimates for the associations of T1DM and T2DM with the risk of fractures using the random-effects model. An indirect comparison results for the ratio of OR (ROR) with 95% CI were also applied to assess the difference between T1DM and T2DM with the risk of fractures.Results: Twenty-two cohort studies involving a total of 6,484,851 individuals were selected for meta-analysis. We noted that T1DM was associated with an increased risk of all fractures (OR: 1.72; 95% CI: 1.36–2.19; P < 0.001), and fractures at the hip (OR: 4.01; 95% CI: 2.90–5.54; P < 0.001), upper arm (OR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.61–3.00; P < 0.001), ankle (OR: 1.97; 95% CI: 1.24–3.14; P = 0.004), and vertebrae (OR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.85–2.57; P < 0.001). Moreover, T2DM induced excess risk to all fractures (OR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.09–1.31; P < 0.001), including fractures at the hip (OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.15–1.35; P < 0.001), upper arm (OR: 1.42; 95% CI: 1.20–1.67; P < 0.001), and ankle (OR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.01–1.31; P = 0.029). Furthermore, we noted that T1DM versus T2DM was associated with greater risk to all fractures (ROR: 1.45; 95% CI: 1.12–1.87; P = 0.005), including fractures at the hip (ROR: 3.21; 95% CI: 2.30–4.48; P < 0.001), upper arm (ROR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.09–2.20; P = 0.015), and ankle (ROR: 1.71; 95% CI: 1.06–2.78; P = 0.029).Conclusions: This study found that T1DM caused an excess risk to all fractures, including fractures at the hip, upper arm, and ankle than T2DM. Further studies should therefore be conducted to directly compare the differences between T1DM and T2DM with the risk of fractures at various sites.

Patients who undergo surgery of femur fracture suffer the excruciating pain. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a unique α2-adrenergic receptor agonist with sedative and analgesic properties, whose efficacy and safety are still unclear for surgery of femur fracture. Randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of addition of DEX to general or local anesthesia in surgery of femur fracture were searched from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library database. Patients who received DEX infusion had a significant longer time to rescue analgesia compared with those without DEX coadministration. DEX treatment seemed to reduce the visual analog score; however, the significance did not reach any statistical difference. DEX as an analgesic adjuvant did not reduce the onset of sensory block time, shorten the time to achieve maximum sensory block level, and provide a longer duration of sensory block. The difference in mean sedation scores between 2 groups was not statistically significant. As for adverse effects, DEX therapy significantly increased the rate of hypotension. In conclusion, dexmedetomidine as a local anesthetic adjuvant in femur fracture surgery had a longer duration of rescue analgesia. However, the incidence of hypotension was markedly increased in these patients. It was worth noting that the evidence was of low to moderate quality.

Aims To investigate the association between TBI and stroke risk. Summary of review We undertook a systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Library from inception to 4th December 2020. We used random-effects meta-analysis to pool hazard ratios (HR) for studies which reported stroke risk post-TBI compared to controls. Searches identified 10,501 records; 58 full texts were assessed for eligibility and 18 met the inclusion criteria. The review included a large sample size of 2,606,379 participants from four countries. Six studies included a non-TBI control group, all found TBI patients had significantly increased risk of stroke compared to controls (pooled HR 1.86; 95% CI 1.46-2.37). Findings suggest stroke risk may be highest in the first four months post-TBI, but remains significant up to five years post-TBI. TBI appears to be associated with increased stroke risk regardless of severity or subtype of TBI. There was some evidence to suggest an association between reduced stroke risk post-TBI and Vitamin K antagonists and statins, but increased stroke risk with certain classes of antidepressants. Conclusion TBI is an independent risk factor for stroke, regardless of TBI severity or type. Post-TBI review and management of risk factors for stroke may be warranted.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> The ovarian reserve has been reported to be diminished in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. However, these results are still controversial. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is considered a reliable biomarker for the ovarian reserve. We thus performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the AMH levels and the effect of DMARDs on the ovarian reserve in rheumatoid arthritis patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and 2 Chinese databases (CNKI and Wanfang database), up to September 2021, were searched for relevant studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to assess the quality of the included studies. Pooled standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined with the random-effects model. The heterogeneity was described by <i>I</i><sup><i>2</i></sup> statistic and <i>p</i> value from the Cochrane Q test. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Eight eligible studies (679 patients and 1,460 controls) were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with healthy control, the AMH levels in RA patients were significantly lower with the pooled SMD of −0.40 (95% CI: −0.66 to −0.14). However, in comparison of AMH with and without DMARD treatment, there was no significant difference with the pooled SMD of −0.1 (95% CI: −0.39 to 0.19). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> The results indicated that there was an increased risk of ovarian failure in RA patients and which is not related to DMARD treatment.

Purpose. A meta-analysis was performed to compare the efficacy of an anterior chamber injection of moxifloxacin in the prevention of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Methods. A computer-based search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and the Clinical Trial database for articles related to anterior intraventricular injection of moxifloxacin for the prevention of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery was performed through April 2019. Study selection, data exclusion, and quality assessment were performed by two independent observers. Statistical analysis for the meta-analysis was performed by RevMan5.3 software. Results. Eight studies were included, with a total of 123,819 eyes. The meta-analysis showed that an anterior chamber injection of moxifloxacin can prevent the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery (OR = 0.29, 95% CI (0.15, 0.56), P=0.0002), and the difference was statistically significant. There were no significant differences between the moxifloxacin injection and nonmoxifloxacin injection groups in regard to UCVA (log MAR) (SMD = −0.13, 95% CI (−0.62, 0.35), P=0.60), BCVA (log MAR) (SMD = −0.27, 95% CI (−1.28, 0.74), P=0.60), IOP (SMD = −0.04, 95% CI (−0.02, 0.01), P=0.22), corneal edema (OR = 1.03, 95% CI (0.23, 4.69), P=0.97), CCT (SMD = −0.01, 95% CI (−0.07, 0.05), P=0.77), or ECD (SMD = 0.00, 95% CI (−0.06, 0.07), P=0.94). Conclusion. An anterior chamber injection of moxifloxacin can effectively prevent the incidence of endophthalmitis after cataract surgery, while the moxifloxacin injection and nonmoxifloxacin injection groups had similar results in regard to UCVA (log MAR), BCVA (log MAR), IOP, corneal edema, CCT, and ECD.

Abstract Background: To evaluate and compare corneal biomechanics after treatment of myopia using small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK). Methods: We performed a meta-analysis and searched for reports concerning corneal biomechanics after SMILE and FS-LASIK using MEDLINE, EMbase, CNKI and the Cochrane Library. The analysis included corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF) before and 3 months after the surgery. The quality of the reports was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Statistical analysis was performed using RevMan5. Results: Only six studies with a total of 771 eyes were ultimately included in this meta-analysis, and the random effects model was adopted. The preoperative and three-month postoperative CH and CRF of SMILE and FS-LASIK were compared by the meta-analysis. No statistically significant difference was found in CH or CRF between the SMILE group and the FS-LASIK group before the surgery (WMD，-0.12; 95% CI，-0.31～0.06; P，0.19; WMD，-0.05; 95% CI，-0.29～0.19; P，0.69). There was no statistically significant difference in CH between the two surgical methods 3 months after the operation in the foreign group (WMD，0.19; 95% CI，-1.02～1.41; P，0.75) or in the Chinese group (WMD，0.13; 95% CI，-0.16～0.41; P，0.75). Likewise, no statistically significant difference was found in CRF between the two surgical methods in the foreign group 3 months after the operation (WMD，-0.11; 95% CI，-2.53～-2.31; P，0.93). Nevertheless, the difference in CRF between the two surgical methods was statistically significant in the Chinese group (WMD，0.26; 95% CI，0.06～0.47; P，0.01). Concusion: This meta-analysis indicated that SMILE showed no significant postoperative advantage in CH in comparison with FS-LASIK. For CRF, SMILE exhibited no obvious postoperative advantage in comparison with FS-LASIK in the foreign group, whereas SMILE was superior to FS-LASIK in the Chinese group.

Abstract ObjectiveThe pros and cons of the head-up position (HUP) in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have been controversial in previous studies. This study aims to clarify the effect of HUP CPR compared to supine position (SUP) CPR.MethodThree databases were comprehensively searched (PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library) for articles published from database inception to 10 May 2021. The primary outcome was cerebral perfusion pressure (CerPP). The secondary outcomes were mean intracranial pressure (ICP), mean artery pressure (MAP), coronary artery perfusion pressure (CoPP) and the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rate.ResultA total of 7 studies including 138 animals were included. We found that CerPP (SMD, 1.58; 95% CI, 0.98–2.19; p < 0.01; I2 = 51%) and ICP (SMD, -3.59; 95% CI, -5.16– -2.02; p < 0.01; I2 = 87%) were decreased significantly in the HUP group. HUP had a similar MAP (SMD, -0.54; 95% CI, -1.75–0.66; p = 0.38; I2 = 87%) and ROSC rate (RR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.31–2.60; p = 0.84; I2 = 65%) to SUP. In addition, there was an increased CoPP trend in HUP, but the difference was not statistically significant (SMD, 0.92; 95% CI, -0.24–2.08; p = 0.12; I2 = 84%)ConclusionThe HUP 30° in active compression-decompression CPR (ACD-CPR) with an impedance threshold device (ITD) can increase CerPP by significantly lowering ICP and maintaining MAP compared to SUP, and the effect is immediate and lasts the whole CPR duration. In addition, CoPP might also be increased compared to that with SUP.

Abstract Background: In 2013, denosumab was introduced as peri-operative adjuvant treatment for giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone as it inhibits osteoclast activity. It is suggested that denosumab relives pain, facilitate curettage in lesions requiring resection initially. However, controversy remains whether denosumab increases the risk of local recurrence after surgery. Methods: Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched in June 2019 to identify studies investigating the clinical outcome of GCT of bone with and without peri-operative denosumab after surgery. Data were gathered and a meta-analysis was conducted. Result: Ten studies with 1082 cases (169 in denosumab group, 913 in control group) were included. Overall, denosumab was associated with significantly higher risk of recurrence(P<0.02) and inferior 5 year recurrence free survival(P=0.000). Denosumab and curettage has a relatively higher risk of recurrence comparing to curettage alone(P=0.07). The risk of recurrence is not significantly increased if denosumab was administered both preoperatively and postoperatively(P=0.24). Conclusion: Administration of denosumab is associated with increased risk of recurrence due to a variety of reasons, though it is proven effective in relieving pain, enabling curettage and improved functional outcome. Post-operative denosumab is recommended as it continuously suppress/eliminate residue tumor cells.

Risk Of Preeclampsia

Abstract Preeclampsia is an idiopathic multisystem disorder with partial genetic and immunological etiology. Several studies investigated the association between various single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) genes and the risk of preeclampsia. However, they achieved inconsistent results. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis by systematically searching the Cochrane Library, PubMed and Embase databases and assessed this association by calculating pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence interval to reach a more trustworthy conclusion. Subgroup analyses by genotype methods and source of controls (SOC) were also conducted. Seven citations containing nine studies were included for four SNPs (Fas -670 A/G, FasL 124A/G, FasL -844C/T, Fas -1377 G/A) in this meta-analysis. Our data suggested the G allele and genotype GG of the Fas -670 A/G polymorphism, GG genotype of the FasL 124A/G polymorphism, and TT genotype of the FasL -844C/T polymorphism increased the risk of preeclampsia. Stratification analyses by genotype methods and SOC also indicated that Fas -670 A/G polymorphism was related to increased risk for preeclampsia. In conclusion, Fas and FasL gene polymorphisms play important roles in the development of preeclampsia. Further well-designed studies in other races are needed to confirm the findings of this meta-analysis.

Abstract Some studies have suggested that the Toll-like receptor 9 polymorphism (TLR9 rs352140) is closely related to the risk of bacterial meningitis (BM), but this is subject to controversy. This study set out to estimate whether the TLR9 rs352140 polymorphism confers an increased risk of BM. Relevant literature databases were searched including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) up to August 2020. Seven case-control studies from four publications were enrolled in the present meta-analysis. Odds ratios (OR) and confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated to estimate associations between BM risk and the target polymorphism. Significant associations identified were allele contrast (A vs. G: OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.59–0.75, P = 0.000), homozygote comparison (AA vs. AG/GG: OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.49–0.78, P = 0.000), heterozygote comparison (A vs. G: OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.61–0.91, P = 0.005), recessive genetic model (AA vs. AG/GG: OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65–0.93, P = 0.006) and dominant genetic model (AA vs. AG/GG: OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.57–0.85, P = 0.000). The findings indicate that, in contrast to some studies, the TLR9 rs352140 polymorphism is associated with a decreased risk for BM.
