Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the risk factors for lactation mastitis (LM) among postpartum women in China, analyzing 14 studies with a total of 8,032 participants to provide a comprehensive overview of this health issue.
- Significant risk factors identified include improper milking methods, repeated milk stasis, and the early postpartum period, each associated with high odds ratios indicating their impact on developing LM.
- Findings emphasize the need for awareness and preventive measures, as approximately 3% to 33% of women experience LM, and understanding these risk factors can enhance maternal health and breastfeeding practices.

- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Compound Glycyrrhizin Injection (CGI) in treating liver damage in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) by analyzing various research databases and employing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for assessment.* -
- A total of 18 RCTs were analyzed, which included 1,915 participants. The findings indicated that CGI showed better overall clinical effectiveness compared to the control group; however, it did not significantly increase normalization rates of liver enzymes (ALT and AST) compared to other treatments.* -
- Ultimately, when CGI was combined with other common medications, it proved more effective in lowering liver enzyme levels and enhancing clinical effectiveness than diammonium glycyrrhizinate
