This protocol has been registered at the Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04539184). To our knowledge, this study is the first well-designed multi-centered randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of MSAT on acute neck pain. The results of this study will be useful for clinicians in primary medical institutions that frequently treat acute neck pain patients and for policymakers working with national health insurance.To our knowledge, this study is the first well-designed multi-centered randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of MSAT on acute neck pain.

Poor ovarian response (POR) is a high-incidence disease of women, which cause in vitro fertilization failure. Various treatment options have been proposed for women with POR to improve their ovarian response, but with little effect. In recent years, there is a wide range of applications of acupuncture in the process of in vitro fertilization. The meta-analysis and systematic review are designed to analyze whether acupuncture is effective for patients with POR. The following databases will be searched from inception to March 2020 Electronic databases consist of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the Chinese Scientific Journal Database, and Wanfang Database. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/dl-thiorphan.html Other literature resources will also be searched including clinical trial registries, key journals, and meeting records. The results of randomized controlled trials of acupuncture therapy on POR, which are published in Chinese or English, will be embedded. The primary outcome is the clinical pregnancy rate. Data identification, data selection, data extraction, and assessment of bias risk will be completed independently by 2 or more reviewers. STATA/IC 16 will be used to perform the meta-analysis. We will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system to evaluate the quality of our evidence. A systematic narrative synthesis will be provided if the quantitative analysis is not available. This study will provide the first meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in treating POR. This protocol provides details to guide this study. From this review may benefit POR patients or clinical decision-makers. PROSPERO CRD42020169560.PROSPERO CRD42020169560. With the rising incidences stroke, the Post-Stroke Urinary Incontinence (PSUI) has become one of the common clinical sequelae. PSUI not only lowers the quality of life of patients, but also impacts tremendously to mental health. As a treasure of Chinese medicine, acupuncture and its related therapies have been widely accepted in clinical treatment of PSUI. Recently, there have been many clinical studies on the treatment of PSUI with acupuncture and related therapies, but the best way to treat PSUI is controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide an optimal ranking regarding acupuncture and its related therapies for PSUI. The five domestic and foreign databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database will be systematically searched. The time range of the literature search is from the date of establishment to August 31, 2020. The main evaluation outcome was the number of patients after treatment, and the frequency of urinary itreatment options, which will help patients and doctors to choose effective acupuncture methods in time. Recently, increased expression of TET1 has been shown to inhibit tumor development in many studies. Therefore, a meta-analysis was conducted to assess the prognostic role of TET1 in solid tumors. PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science (last updated on June 13, 2019) were searched and 16 eligible studies involving 3100 patients were eventually taken forward into the meta-analysis. Pooled results indicated that higher TET1 expression in cancer tissues was associated with improved overall survival (OS) [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.736, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 0.542-0.998, P = .049]. In the subgroup analysis, higher TET1 expression in respiratory tumors (HR = 0.778, 95% CI = 0.639-0.946, P = .012) and breast cancer in Asian patients (HR = 0.326, 95% CI = 0.199-0.533, P < .001) were significantly associated with better OS. In addition, the association between high TET1 expression and prolonged OS was also statistically significant in the following subgroups; data source from samples (HR = 0.561, 95% CI = 0.384-0.819, P = .003), reported in text (HR = 0.539, 95% CI = 0.312-0.931, P = .027), TET1 protein (HR = 0.635, 95% CI = 0.409-0.984, P = .042), Asians (HR = 0.563, 95% CI = 0.376-0.844, P = .005). This meta-analysis displays that high expression levels of TET1 in tissues is significantly associated with better survival in patients with solid tumors. This finding can be used as evidence to the tone that TET1 may be a useful target for the treatment of patients with solid tumors in the future.This meta-analysis displays that high expression levels of TET1 in tissues is significantly associated with better survival in patients with solid tumors.

Self-perceived Burden Scale and Stroke Self-management Scale in 1 month (T1) and 3 months (T2) post-stroke were assessed and compared.The score of SPB in elderly stroke survivors was 28.96 ± 5.50 and 27.25 ± 6.17 at T1 and T2, respectively. Stroke self-management scale scored 165.93 ± 9.82 at T1 and 167.29 ± 10.60 at T2. In the first 3 months post-stroke, the physical burden was dominant (T1 14.73 ± 3.07, T2 14.40 ± 3.13), and the behavior of stroke symptoms and signs monitoring (T1 27.58 ± 6.56, T2 28.64 ± 6.43) and rehabilitation exercise management (T1 21.40 ± 3.28, T2 20.74 ± 3.15) was the worst. SPB was negatively correlated with self-management behavior (T1 r = -.202, T2 r = -.511).Elderly stroke survivors experienced a medium level of SPB and self-management behavior in the first 3 months post-stroke.
