Introduction: This work aimed to comprehensively assess the risk factors affecting myopia in children to develop more effective prevention and treatment strategies. To this end, data from database were employed to assess the relationship between the incidence of myopia and its risk factors. Methods: We searched eight databases online in June 2022. Cohort studies were included that measured the connection between risk factors and myopia. Eligibility was not restricted by language. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to measure the risk of bias and conducted GRADE evaluation to determine the certainty of evidence. Potential risk factors with positive or negative results were seen. Inplasy Registration: https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-4-0109/. Results: Evidence that risk factors for myopia are mixed, comprising both positive (20) and null (17) findings. In 19 cohort studies on 3578 children, girls were more likely to develop myopia (RR: 1.28 [1.22–1.35]). Myopia can occur at any age, from early childhood to late adulthood. Children whose parents had myopia were more likely to develop myopia. Longer outdoor activities time (RR: 0.97 [0.95–0.98]) and less near-work time (RR: 1.05 [1.02–1.07]) appeared to be significantly decrease the incidence of myopia. Children with lower SE, longer AL, a lower magnitude of positive relative accommodation, worse presenting visual acuity, deeper anterior chamber, and thinner crystalline lens may be related to myopia onset. The burden of myopia in underprivileged countries is higher than in developed countries (RR: 5.28 [2.06–13.48]). The quality of evidence for the evaluated factors was moderate to low or very low. Conclusions: Genetic factors, environmental factors (such as excessive use of electronic products, and poor study habits) and lifestyle factors (such as lack of outdoor activities, poor nutrition, etc.) are the main risk factors for myopia in children. Myopia prevention strategies should be designed based on environmental factors, gender, parental myopia and eye indicators in order to explore a lifestyle that is more conducive to the eye health of children.

Background: Diarrhea is a ubiquitous digestive system disease, leading to loss of fluid and electrolytes, and may be life-threatening, especially in children and adults who are immunosuppressed or malnourished. Berberine has a broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and is very widely used to treat diarrhea in China. No systematic review has been carried out to evaluate the evidence presented in clinical trials. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of berberine in diarrhea treatment among children and adults. Methods: Seven databases and two clinical trial registries were searched on 1 September 2019. Randomized controlled trials were included, where participants were diagnosed (first diagnosed) as having diarrhea according to clear diagnostic criteria. Berberine alone or in combination with Western medication as intervention were included. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on children or adults, acute or persistent diarrhea, infectious or noninfectious and treatment courses. Primary outcomes were clinical cure rate and duration of diarrhea. The GRADE tool was used to assess the quality of evidence. Results: A total of 38 randomized controlled trials were included involving 3948 participants (including 27 trials on 2702 children) were included. Compared with antibiotics, berberine plus antibiotics showed better results in both adults and in children in general, especially when given for 7 days or 3 days in acute infectious diarrhea of children. Compared with the control groups, using berberine alone or in combination with montmorillonite, probiotics, and vitamin B increased the clinical cure rate of diarrhea. The use of berberine alone or berberine combined with montmorillonite reduced the duration of hospitalization. Using berberine had significantly better laboratory indicators (isoenzyme, inflammatory factors, myocardial enzyme, and fecal trait) and fewer systemic symptoms than the no berberine groups. Overall, 22 of 27 trials on children used berberine as an enema. No deaths and serious adverse events were reported. The quality of evidence of included trials was moderate to low or very low. The impact of different dosages, frequencies and treatment durations on the outcomes was not evaluated due to insufficient number of trials. Conclusion: This review demonstrated that berberine was generally effective in improving clinical cure rates and shortening the duration of diarrhea compared with control groups. No severe adverse event was reported. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence for evaluating the efficacy and safety of berberine.

Background. Penetrating skull base injury (PSBI) is uncommon among head injuries, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although many cases of PSBIs have been reported, comprehensive understanding of its initial diagnosis, management, and outcome is still unavailable. Materials and Methods. A retrospective review was performed for patients treated in neurosurgical department of Changzheng Hospital for PSBIs. Presurgical three-dimensional (3D) Slicer-assisted reconstructions were conducted for each patient. Then we reviewed previous literature about all the published cases of PSBIs worldwide and discussed their common features. Results. A total of 5 patients suffering PSBIs were identified. Penetrating points as well as the surrounding neurovascular structures were clearly visualized, assisting in the presurgical planning of optimal surgical approach and avoiding unexpected vascular injury. Four patients underwent craniotomy with foreign bodies removed successfully and 1 patient received conservative treatment. All of them presented good outcomes after proper management. Conclusion. Careful physical examination and radiological evaluation are essential before operation, and angiography is recommended for those with suspected vascular injuries. 3D modeling with 3D Slicer is practicable and reliable, facilitating the diagnosis and presurgical planning. Treatment decision should be made upon the comprehensive evaluation of patient’s clinicoradiological features and characteristics of foreign bodies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MODAFINIL ,DRUG efficacy ,DROWSINESS ,NEUROLOGICAL disorders ,NARCOLEPSY ,SLEEP apnea syndromes - Abstract
Background:Modafinil is a novel wake-promoting agent approved by the FDA ameliorating excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in three disorders: narcolepsy, shift work sleep disorder and obstructive sleep apnea. Existing trials of modafinil for fatigue and EDS associated with neurological disorders provided inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was aimed to assess drug safety and effects of modafinil on fatigue and EDS associated with neurological disorders. Methods:A comprehensive literature review was conducted in order to identify published studies assessing the effects of modafinil on fatigue and EDS associated with neurological disorders. Primary outcomes included fatigue and EDS. Secondary outcomes included depression and adverse effects. Findings:Ten randomized controlled trials were identified including 4 studies of Parkinson’s disease (PD), 3 of multiple sclerosis (MS), 2 of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and 1 of post-polio syndrome (PPS). A total of 535 patients were enrolled. Our results suggested a therapeutic effect of modafinil on fatigue in TBI (MD -0.82 95% CI -1.54 - -0.11 p=0.02, I
2 =0%), while a beneficial effect of modafinil on fatigue was not confirmed in the pooled studies of PD or MS. Treatment results demonstrated a clear beneficial effect of modafinil on EDS in patients with PD (MD -2.45 95% CI -4.00 - -0.91 p=0.002 I2 =14%), but not with MS and TBI. No difference was seen between modafinil and placebo treatments in patients with PPS. Modafinil seemed to have no therapeutic effect on depression. Adverse events were similar between modafinil and placebo groups except that more patients were found with insomnia and nausea in modafinil group. Conclusions:Existing trials of modafinil for fatigue and EDS associated with PD, MS, TBI and PPS provided inconsistent results. The majority of the studies had small sample sizes. Modafinil is not yet sufficient to be recommended for these medical conditions until solid data are available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background:Sleep disturbance is very common following traumatic brain injury (TBI), which may initiate or exacerbate a variety of co-morbidities and negatively impact rehabilitative treatments. To date, there are paradoxical reports regarding the associations between inherent characteristics of TBI and sleep disturbance in TBI population. The current study was designed to explore the relationship between the presence of sleep disturbance and characteristics of TBI and identify the factors which are closely related to the presence of sleep disturbance in TBI population. Methods:98 TBI patients (72 males, mean age ± SD, 47 ± 13 years, range 18-70) were recruited. Severity of TBI was evaluated based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). All participants performed cranial computed tomography and were examined on self-reported sleep quality, anxiety, and depression. Results:TBI was mild in 69 (70%), moderate in 15 (15%) and severe in 14 (15%) patients. 37 of 98 patients (38%) reported sleep disturbance following TBI. Insomnia was diagnosed in 28 patients (29%) and post-traumatic hypersomnia in 9 patients (9%). In TBI with insomnia group, 5 patients (18%) complained of difficulty falling asleep only, 8 patients (29%) had difficulty maintaining sleep without difficulty in initial sleep and 15 patients (53%) presented both difficulty falling asleep and difficulty maintaining sleep. Risk factors associated with insomnia were headache and/or dizziness and more symptoms of anxiety and depression rather than GCS. In contrast, GCS was independently associated with the presence of hypersomnia following TBI. Furthermore, there was no evidence of an association between locations of brain injury and the presence of sleep disturbance after TBI. Conclusion:Our data support and contribute to a growing body of evidence which indicates that TBI patients with insomnia are prone to suffer from concomitant headache and/or dizziness, report more symptoms of anxiety and depression and severe TBI patients are likely to experience hypersomnia.

Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a rare complication of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).We aimed to evaluate the risk factors and clinical features for PSH after ICH. From January 1, 2013 to April 1, 2018, patients with ICH were consecutively included in this observational study. Baseline characteristics were compared in patients with and without PSH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors associated with PSH development. Clinical features of patients with PSH were also analyzed. There were 548 patients with ICH included and a total of 15 (2.7%) patients were identified with PSH. In univariate analysis, PSH development was associated with the following: previous hemorrhagic stroke, pupils abnormity, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, hematoma volume, liver function abnormity, neutrophil count and early tracheostomy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a significantly increased risk of PSH was found in patients with previous hemorrhagic stroke (odds ratio [OR], 4.176; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.111–15.698), admission GCS score (OR, 0.703; 95% CI, 0.548–0.902) and early tracheostomy (OR, 8.317; 95%CI, 1.755–39.412).The most common symptoms of PSH were hyperthermia (80%) and hyperhidrosis (80%).The median Intensive Care Unit stays and Glasgow Outcome Scale at discharge were 34 (19–46) and 2 (1.5–3), respectively. PSH is characterized by a cluster of symptoms and abnormal vital signs, which may lead to poor outcomes in ICH. The present study suggests that previous hemorrhagic stroke, admission GCS score and early tracheostomy may be the significant risk factors for PSH after ICH. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aim: To investigate whether pseudomyopia is an independent risk factor for myopia onset based on a population-based cohort study., Methods: Non-myopic children were recruited from schools in rural and urban settings of Shangdong province, China. Baseline examinations started in September 2020 and all participants were invited for a 6-month follow-up. Pseudomyopia was defined as spherical equivalent (SE) ≤-0.50 diopters (D) before cycloplegia and >-0.50D after cycloplegia. Myopia was defined as cycloplegic SE ≤-0.50D., Results: A total of 2328 children (baseline age: 4-17 years) were included in the final analysis. During the 6-month follow-up, 21.1% (355/1680) pseudomyopic eyes developed myopia, and 3.8% (110/2879) non-myopic and non-pseudomyopic eyes developed myopia. After adjusting for multiple myopia risk factors, including baseline cycloplegic SE, near work and outdoor time, pseudomyopia was found to be an independent risk factor for myopia onset (relative risk=2.52, 95% CI 1.86 to 3.42). Additionally, pseudomyopic children with more myopic cycloplegic SE (p<0.001), smaller difference between cycloplegic and non-cycloplegic SE (DIFF, p<0.001), and higher binocular amplitude of accommodation (p<0.001) had higher risk of myopia development., Conclusion: This is an important longitudinal study to prove that pseudomyopia is an independent risk factor for myopia development among school-aged children., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether multimodal analgesia can decrease postoperative opioid usage in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy., Methods: Patients diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome who underwent acromioplasty at our institution between October 2022 and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into an observation group and a control group based on postoperative pain management methods. The control group received intravenous self-controlled electronic analgesia (sufentanil injection 1 μg/kg + butorphanol injection 4 mg + 0.9% NaCl injection to 100 mL), while the observation group received multimodal analgesia (ropivacaine subacromial pump 3 mL/h, combined with oral celecoxib and acetaminophen). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were recorded preoperatively and at various postoperative time points, and opioid usage, length of hospital stay, and analgesia-related complications within 1 week postoperatively were compared between groups. The 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores and the Constant-Murley score (CMS), were also assessed 1 day and 1 week after treatment., Results: One hundred thirty-two patients were included in the study, 66 in the observation group and 66 in the control group. In the control group, there were 46 males and 20 females, with a mean age of 55.47 ± 11.42 years and in the observation group 44 males and 22 females, with a mean age of 56.13 ± 12.19 years The observation group consistently reported significantly lower pain intensity compared to the control group at 8 h (T1), 24 (T2), and 48 h (T3) after surgery (p < 0.05). Additionally, the observation group exhibited significantly lower opioid usage and complication rates compared to the control group (p < 0.05). SF-36 scores and CMS scores were significantly higher in the observation group 1 week after treatment compared to the control group (p < 0.05)., Conclusions: Following shoulder arthroscopy, multimodal analgesia effectively reduces opioid consumption, lowers complication rates, and provides effective short-term pain relief. This approach carries significant implications for improving patient outcomes.

- Abstract
To identify the active constituents, core targets, immunomodulatory functions and potential mechanisms of Dizhi pill (DZP) in the treatment of myopia. The active constituents and drug targets of DZP were searched in the TCMSP, Herb databases and correlational studies. The targets of myopia were searched in the TTD, Genecards, OMIM and Drugbank databases. Gene expression profile data of GSE136701 were downloaded from the GEO database and subjected to WGCNA and DEG analysis to screen for significant modules and targets of myopia. Intersectional targets of myopia and DZP and core targets of myopia were analyzed through the String database. The GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of the interested targets were conducted. Cibersort algorithm was used for immune infiltration analysis to investigate the immunomodulatory functions of DZP on myopia. Autodock was used to dock the important targets and active constituents. Eight targets (STAT3, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, MAPK1, MAPK3, HSP90AA1, MIP, and LGSN) and 5 active constituents (Quercetin, Beta-sitosterol, Diincarvilone A, Ferulic acid methyl ester, and Naringenin) were identified from DZP. In pathways identified by the GO and KEGG enrichment analyses, "ATP metabolic process" and "AGE-RAGE diabetes complication signaling" pathways were closely related to the mechanisms of DZP in the treatment of myopia. Molecular docking showed that both the intersectional targets and core targets of myopia could bind stably and spontaneously with the active constituents of DZP. This study suggested that the mechanisms of DZP in the treatment of myopia were related to active constituents: Quercetin, Beta-sitosterol, Diincarvilone A, Ferulic acid methyl ester and Naringenin, intersectional targets: STAT3, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, MAPK1, MAPK3, and HSP90AA1, core targets of myopia: MIP and LGSN, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, positive regulation of ATP metabolic process pathway and immunomodulatory functions., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).

- Abstract
Aim: This study aims to assess the association between sodium-glucose cotransporter type-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) treatment and muscle atrophy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)., Methods: We searched six databases from 1 January 2012 to 1 May 2023, without language restrictions. The primary outcome was muscle. Secondary outcomes were weight loss, weakness, malaise, or fatigue. Subgroup analyses were performed according to different definitions of muscle, treatment duration, and measurement methods. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane tool. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) tool., Results: Nineteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 1,482 participants were included. Compared with the control group, a meta-analysis showed that T2DM participants in the group treated with SGLT-2i demonstrated statistically significant reductions in lean body mass of 0.66 (95% confidence interval (CI), -1.05 to -0.27; p = 0.0009) and skeletal muscle mass of 0.35 (95% CI, -0.66 to -0.04; p = 0.03). No deaths or serious adverse events were reported. The quality of evidence in the included trials was low., Conclusions: SGLT-2i may lead to a reduction in muscle strength in the treatment of T2DM compared to the control group. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence to evaluate muscle atrophy caused by SGLT-2i., Systematic Review Registration: https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-12-0061/, identifier 2022120061., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Xia, Han, Yin, Geng, Liu, Du and Yu.)

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the characteristics of full compensation and its association with the prevalence of total astigmatism (TA), and to analyze the effects of TA on uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA)., Methods: With random cluster sampling based on a school-based cross-sectional design, children aged 4 to 18 years were recruited in September 2020, Shandong Province, China. TA, anterior corneal astigmatism (ACA), and ocular residual astigmatism (ORA) were converted to vectorial components ( J0, J45 ), followed by an assessment of the compensatory effect of ACA by ORA. Astigmatism was defined as a cylinder that was better than or equal to 0.75 diopters (D). Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the related factors for children with full compensation, and the generalized linear model was used to assess the influence of TA on UDVA., Results: Out of 4,494 eligible children, data of 4,145 children (92.3%, 9.23 ± 3.15 years, 50.4% boys) were included in the statistical analysis. The prevalence of TA (27.9%) increased significantly with age (P
trend < 0.001). The distribution of full compensation in J0 and J45 components were similar (22.1% and 25.6%, respectively), which decreased with age (Ptrend < 0.001). The closer the refractive status was to emmetropization, the higher the proportion of full compensation and the lower the prevalence of TA were. Shorter axial length ( J0 : Odds Ratio (OR) = 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.61 to 0.94, P = 0.010), better UDVA ( J0 : OR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.65, P < 0.001; J45 : OR = 0.34, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.59, P < 0.001), and longer average corneal curvature radius ( J0 : OR = 3.72, 95% CI: 2.18 to 6.34, P < 0.001; J45 : OR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.67 to 4.76, P < 0.001) were associated with full compensation. Higher TA was associated with a worse UDVA (β = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.04, P < 0.001)., Conclusions: The prevalence of TA gradually increased with age, and showed a U-shaped distribution with increased refraction. Full compensation was associated with smaller TA and better UDVA. This indicated that considering the compensatory effect of ORA is vital for astigmatism correction in clinical work, which may improve the visual quality., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2023 Wu, Hu, Xu, Sun, Wang, Shao, Liu, Yu, Si, Huo, Wang and Bi.)- Published

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate anisometropia's prevalence and associated factors in school-aged children., Methods: A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted in Shandong Province, China, including children aged 4 to 17 from 9 schools. Anisometropia was defined as the differences between the two eyes in spherical equivalent (SE) or cylinder degree of 1.00 diopter (D) or more [SE or cylindrical (CYL) difference ≥ 1.00 D] after cycloplegic autorefraction. The Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was used to analyze the effects of ocular parameters [the differences between eyes in axial length (AL), habitual visual acuity (HVA), and corneal astigmatism (CA)] and lifestyle parameters (time spent indoor near work and outdoor activities) on anisometropia., Results: Total 4,198 (93.4%) of the 4,494 children were included in the statistical analysis. The mean difference in inter-eye SE was 0.42 ± 0.61 D. The prevalence of anisometropia was 13.2% (95%CI: 12.1 to 14.2%) (SE anisometropia's prevalence:10.3%; CYL anisometropia's prevalence: 4.1%), increased with older age (OR = 1.10, P = 0.002), the worse myopic eye (myopia vs. premyopia, OR = 1.87, P = 0.002), the worse hyperopic eye (hyperopia vs. premyopia, OR = 1.77, P = 0.013), larger difference in inter-eye AL (0.1-0.3 vs. ≤ 0.1, OR = 1.67, P = 0.008; >0.3 vs. ≤ 0.1, OR = 28.61, P < 0.001), HVA (>0.2 vs. ≤ 0.2, OR = 3.01, P < 0.001), CA (OR = 6.24, P < 0.001), the worse stereoacuity (>100 vs. ≤ 100, OR = 1.59, P = 0.001), longer indoor near work time per day on weekends (4-8 vs. <4, OR = 1.41, P = 0.038; ≥8 vs. <4, OR = 1.40, P = 0.131), and shorter outdoor activity time per day on weekdays (≥1 vs. <1, OR = 0.75, P = 0.046) in multivariable analysis. In the SE anisometropia group, the difference in inter-eye AL (>0.3 vs. ≤ 0.1, β: 0.556, 95%CI: 0.050 to 1.063), HVA (>0.2 vs. ≤ 0.2, β: 0.511, 95%CI: 0.312 to 0.710), and CA (β: 0.488, 95%CI: 0.289 to 0.688), stereoacuity (>100 vs. ≤ 100, β: 0.299, 95%CI: 0.110 to 0.488) had a positive impact on the difference in inter-eye SE., Conclusions: Ocular parameters and lifestyle parameters are associated with the occurrence of anisometropia in children aged 4 to 17 years, including the difference in inter-eye AL, HVA, CA, stereoacuity, indoor near work time, and outdoor activity time. Preventing myopia and early treating anisometropic amblyopia may be effective ways to reduce the prevalence of anisometropia., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Xu, Wu, Wen, Ding, Sun, Wang, Shao, Liu, Yu, Liu, Hu and Bi.)

- Abstract
Background: To explore the specific prognosis related microRNAs (miRNAs) of glioma., Methods: The miRNA-Seq data and clinical information of glioma patients were downloaded from the TCGA (510 cases) and GEO (GSE112009, 25 cases) database. LASSO & COX regression was used to develop a miRNA-based model for predicting patient survival in the training set (n=255), to carry out glioma prognostic related miRNAs screening, and to construct a linear risk model based on the expression profiles of seven miRNAs. COX regression analysis was used to determine whether the miRNAs risk model was an independent prognostic factor., Results: Seven survival-related miRNAs (miR-140-5p, miR-145-5p, miR-148a-3p, miR-183-5p, miR-222-3p, miR-223-3p, and miR-374a-5p) were identified in the training set. This showed that the overall survival time of the high-risk group was significantly lower than that of the low-risk group in the training set, prediction set, and validation set (P<0.05). Further analysis revealed that age and Karnofsky score both affected the risk of glioma. By crossing seven potential target genes of microRNAs, 620 effective target genes were obtained and GO analysis showed that these were related to the positive regulation of cell migration, neuron migration, and the response of transforming growth factor, and KEGG analysis showed they were related to the TGF-beta signaling pathway, MAPK signaling, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications., Conclusions: Seven miRNAs which regulate target genes to participate in related signaling pathways and lead to a poor prognosis were identified as biomarkers of glioma., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form (available at https://dx.doi.org/10.21037/atm-21-2402).

- Abstract
Background: The quality of reporting of acupuncture interventions is critical to ensure the applicability and reproducibility of acupuncture clinical trials. In the past, different publications have evaluated the quality of reporting of acupuncture interventions for different clinical situations, such as knee osteoarthritis, neurological diseases or cancer. However, this has not been done for acupuncture trials for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Objective: To assess the quality of reporting of acupuncture interventions in trials for COPD. Methods: A total of 11 English and Chinese databases were screened up until May 2019 for randomised or quasi-randomised control trials of acupuncture for COPD. The STRICTA checklist was used to determine the quality of the reporting of acupuncture interventions. Results: A total of 28 trials were included in our review. Out of the 16 STRICTA checklist subitems analysed, only 3 were considered appropriately reported in more than 70% of the trials, while 7 were correctly reported in less than 40%. Conclusion: The adherence to STRICTA guidelines of acupuncture trials for COPD is suboptimal, and future efforts need to be addressed to improve the quality of reporting., Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed., (Copyright: © 2020 Fernández-Jané C et al.)

- Abstract
Object: The aim of this study was to provide information about long-term functional outcome in patients with isolated oculomotor nerve palsy following minor head injury and to discuss surgical treatment of these patients, especially those with accompanying sphenoid fracture., Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 26 patients with traumatic isolated oculomotor nerve palsy. The severity of oculomotor nerve palsy and the functional recovery were evaluated based on extraocular muscle movement, eyelid movement, and pupil size. On average, patients were evaluated 3.6 days after the initial injury, and the average follow-up period was 14.2 months (range 3 months-2 years)., Results: Twenty men and six women were enrolled in this study. The most common cause of trauma was motor vehicle accident in 17 (65.4%) of 26. Among all the recorded symptoms, internal ophthalmoplegia was most frequently seen. The recovery rates of ptosis, external ophthalmoplegia, and internal ophthalmoplegia were 95% (19 of 20 patients), 83.3% (15 of 18 patients), and 50% (13 of 26 patients), respectively. The 6 patients with sphenoid fracture underwent surgical decompression of the superior orbital fissure, after which all patients experienced recovery from ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia and 66.7% (4 of 6 patients) recovered from internal ophthalmoplegia., Conclusions: Limited eye movement may be a major factor that negatively affects functional recovery after mild head injury. Sphenoid fracture might be one of the potential mechanisms involved in traumatic isolated oculomotor nerve palsy after mild head injury. Surgical decompression should be considered when there is evidence of bone compression of the superior orbital fissure.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the therapeutic experience of 24 patients of traumatic head injuries with GCS score of 3. METHODS: Twenty-four most severely head-injured patients with GCS score of 3 who were admitted to our department from Jan 1995 to Mar 1998 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Twelve cases (50.0%) survived, of which 7 cases (29.2%) had good recovery or moderate disability and 5 cases with severe deficits (20.8%), and the other 12 died (50.0%) after therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of most severely head-injured patients with GCS score of 3 could be improved by early intracranial hematoma removal with large decompressive craniotomies, early moderate hypothermia therapy, early assistant ventilation and effective prevention and treatment of complications.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of mild hypothermia (33-35 degrees C) on the outcome of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) (GCS<8). METHODS: Patients in the mild hypothermia group were cooled to 33-35 degrees C by cooling blanket with muscular relaxant, and patients in the normothermia group were maintained at 37-38 degrees C. RESULTS: The result showed that the mortality was 26.1% (6/23) in the mild hypothermia group and 58.3% (14/24) in the normothermia group respectively (P<0.05). The mild hypothermia also markedly reduced intracranial pressure (P<0.01 and inhibited hyperglycermia (P<0.05). No significant side-effects were found during hypothermic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our clinical data have demonstrated that mild hypothermia is a useful method for management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.
