Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) of the pelvis are uncommon and present with a variety of clinical manifestations; their detection may be difficult. An endovascular approach is usually the first choice of treatment, because surgical intervention is complicated due to the location of the lesions. A 68-year-old man was admitted with severe pelvic pain following a fall. A pelvic bone fracture (Young and Burgess Classification, lateral compression type II) was revealed on pelvic computed tomography (CT), while a pelvic sidewall hematoma, unaccompanied by any vascular injury, was detected on multidetector CT. Pelvic angiography revealed an AVF between the internal iliac artery and vein, which was undetected by MDCT. The AVF was successfully treated using transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). The patient recovered well and was discharged 4 weeks later. No complications were noted at the 8-month follow-up. AVF may occur as a complication of blunt pelvic bone fracture. A high index of suspicion, angiography, and prompt diagnosis resulted in the successful management of our patient who presented with risk factors. Furthermore, TAE using NBCA enables a minimally invasive and effective treatment of traumatic pelvic AVF.AVF may occur as a complication of blunt pelvic bone fracture. A high index of suspicion, angiography, and prompt diagnosis resulted in the successful management of our patient who presented with risk factors. Furthermore, TAE using NBCA enables a minimally invasive and effective treatment of traumatic pelvic AVF. There is still a lack of consensus on the best approach for total knee replacement (TKR). We carried out this present retrospective cohort study to assess the overall safety and effectiveness of a minimally invasive approach without the use of computer navigation in comparison with conventional TKR. A retrospective review of patients who receiving the primary TKR in the same institution from 2014 to 2016 was conducted. The inclusion criteria for the study indicated that the patient required a unilateral or bilateral TKR was between 18 and 80 years' old, provided informed consent, was followed up for at least 2 years, and was in stable health. There was no treatment for any condition or condition that might pose a risk of excessive surgery. The same TKR standard rehabilitation program was provided to all patients. Data were collected on patient demographics, anesthesia style, American Society of Anesthesiology scores, tourniquet duration, and surgical drainage loss. Our primary outcome measure was discharge time. Secondary outcomes included duration of surgery, incidence of postoperative complications, imaging location 6 weeks after surgery, Oxford Knee Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index, and knee ROM. Complications were recorded and classified as surgical site, thromboembolic, systemic, or requiring reoperation. It was assumed that there is a remarkable difference in postoperative outcomes between the 2 groups. The limitations of our present research include the inherent limitations in any retrospective cohort research, including the observation bias and possibility of selection. This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6349).This study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6349). To explore the influence of the education of lifestyle in the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with microalbuminuria as a part of the enhanced multifactorial intervention. This study will be conducted from May 2021 to August 2022 at Ningbo No.6 hospital. The experiment was granted through the Research Ethics Committee of Ningbo No.6 hospital (539D035). The patients will be included if they are between 18 and 65 years old and are diagnosed with T2DM with microalbuminuria and the patients who have signed the written informed consent. While the patients will be excluded if they have serious physical comorbidities and patients who are unwilling to offer the informed consent to take part in this experiment. We measure the clinical examination (fasting blood-glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and routine urine test) timely. Detail of daily dietary intake and lifestyle factors are also recorded. Table 1 reflects the comparison of the biochemical and clinical variables and the lifestyle factors. Lifestyle education is effective in facilitating the control of T2DM and reducing microalbuminuria. researchregistry6348.researchregistry6348. Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is an important factor of causing leg pain and numbness. As a secondary discipline of Traditional Chinese Medicine, tuina is widely used for the treatment of LDH in China even in other nations while its clinical value is not acknowledged universally. So, we focus on this article aims to evaluate its efficacy and safety of LDH. Electronic databases involving Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, China Science and Technology Journal, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database will be pertained with appropriate search strategy. And RevMan V.5.3.5 software will be conducted as the assessment tool for bias risk, data synthesis, subgroup analysis as well as meta-analyses. This systematic review will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence of tuina for LDH. This protocol will determine whether Tuina is an effective and safe treatment method for LDH.This protocol will determine whether Tuina is an effective and safe treatment method for LDH. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a common surgery accompanied by some unpleasant adverse effects. Clinical trials indicated that acupuncture therapy may help reduce complications in LC. However, no systematic reviews have been conducted on the topic. Therefore, we will evaluate the current evidence and provide a rank for the efficacy of acupuncture therapy in LC by performing Bayesian network meta-analysis. A total of 9 databases will be searched from inception to 10 December 2020. Randomized control trails met the criterion will be included. selleck Quality evaluation of included studies will be performed using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. STATA 14.0, Addis 1.16.8, R 3.6.3, and OpenBUGS 3.2.3 will be used to conduct pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis. The evidence will be assessed by the Grades of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation. This review will be based on clinical evidence to choose the best choice of acupuncture treatment for LC. And the results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication.
