Effect of exercise on postoperative recovery of patients with non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the postoperative recovery period often experience reduced exercise capacity and impaired lung function, which affects their overall quality of life. This paper investigated the effect of exercise interventions on exercise capacity, lung function, quality of life, and symptoms in these patients.

Methods: We performed a literature search across Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases were comprehensively searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to September 2023, all English RCTs were eligible if they assessed the effects of exercise interventions on postoperative NSCLC patients.

Quantitative Analysis of Fungal Contamination of Different Herbal Medicines in China.

Herbal medicines are widely used for clinical purposes worldwide. These herbs are susceptible to phytopathogenic fungal invasion during the culturing, harvesting, storage, and processing stages. The threat of fungal and mycotoxin contamination requires the evaluation of the health risks associated with these herbal medicines.

Animal Models of Rotator Cuff Injury and Repair: A Systematic Review.

There are a large number of animal studies on rotator cuff injury and repair, but a lack of detailed research and evaluation on the animal models. This systematic review aims to provide a framework for animal studies and repair patches for rotator cuff injury. Four hundred nine animal studies were included, of which the most common animal model of rotator cuff injury is rat (53.

Development of a reporting guideline for systematic reviews of animal experiments in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: In recent years, there are several systematic reviews published on animal experiments of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis) guidelines provide a guarantee for significantly improving the reporting quality of systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analysis (MAs) to a certain extent; however, there are still certain defects found in the quality of SRs/MAs of animal experiments of TCM. It has been found that especially, the descriptions of the rationale and animal characteristics of TCM interventions are inadequate.

Evaluation of patches for rotator cuff repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on animal studies.

Based on the published animal studies, we systematically evaluated the outcomes of various materials for rotator cuff repair in animal models and the potentials of their clinical translation. 74 animal studies were finally included, of which naturally derived biomaterials were applied the most widely (50.0%), rats were the most commonly used animal model (47.

Biodegradable metals for bone defect repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on animal studies.

Biodegradable metals are promising candidates for bone defect repair. With an evidence-based approach, this study investigated and analyzed the performance and degradation properties of biodegradable metals in animal models for bone defect repair to explore their potential clinical translation. Animal studies on bone defect repair with biodegradable metals in comparison with other traditional biomaterials were reviewed.
