Background: Vaccination is an important method to address the monkeypox epidemic. We aimed to analyze the knowledge of healthcare workers (HCWs) about human monkeypox and their attitudes toward vaccination.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science for articles and performed a meta-analysis using Stata 14.

It is necessary to understand the differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes between these two types of critically ill patients.
Methods: We searched Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science for articles and performed a meta-analysis using Stata 14.
There is still a lot of ambiguity about the link between physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviors (SBs) and osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship of PA/SBs on the risk of OA. A univariate and multivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to investigate the causal effect of five PA phenotypes and three SB phenotypes on overall OA, knee OA, hip OA, total hip arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

We aimed to understand the effects of pulmonary air leak (PAL), including pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema, on patients with COVID-19.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science for data and performed a meta-analysis with a random-effects model using Stata 14.
Impact of coronavirus disease 2019 on lung cancer patients: A meta-analysis.
Transl Oncol
February 2023
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses a great challenge to the treatment of lung cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies published before March 15, 2022, and Stata 14.0 software was used to perform a meta-analysis with a random-effects model.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed increasing challenges to global health systems. Vaccination against COVID-19 can effectively prevent the public, particularly healthcare workers (HCWs), from being infected by this disease.
Objectives: We aim to understand the factors influencing HCWs' acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new problems to patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Aim: We aim to know the effects of HBV infection on patients with COVID-19.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for data and utilized Stata 14.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has become a new challenge to the medical system in various countries. The patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) were also affected.
Methods: We used a random-effects mode to analyze the differences of the baseline characteristics and therapeutic features between STEMI patients admitted before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ultrasonography offers a unique advantage in the clinical diagnosis of intussusception. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in pediatric intussusception. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library databases, and African Journals Online database were searched for studies pertaining to ultrasonographic diagnosis of intussusception in children.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAccurate diagnosis of splenic diseases is important for timely and accurate treatment. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and conventional ultrasound (US) in detecting splenic lesions. A systematic literature search was undertaken, and 8 studies met the inclusion criteria.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The present meta-analysis has evaluated the association between lncRNA ATB, prognosis and clinicopathological parameters in patients with digestive cancers.
Methods: Eligible studies were gathered from Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, WanFang databases and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (up to October 15, 2019). Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to estimate the prognosis and clinicopathological parameters of lncRNA ATB in patients with digestive cancers.
[Study on the mechanism of hypertonic salt solution alleviates lung injury of rats at the early stage of severe scald].

Objective: To explore the mechanism of hypertonic salt solution (HS) alleviates lung injury of rats at the early stage of severe scald.
Methods: Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to sham group, lactated Ringer solution (LR) group, HS200 group (200 mmol/L HS group, 1 L 200 mmol/L HS contained 955 mL LR and 45 mL 10% NaCl) and HS400 group (400 mmol/L HS group, 1 L 400 mmol/L HS contained 846 mL LR and 154 mL 10% NaCl), with 8 rats in each group. A 30% total body surface area (TBSA) III degree scalded model was reproduced by scalded on the back with 98 centigrade boiling water for 12 seconds, whereas those in the sham group were exposed to 37 centigrade water without liquid resuscitation.
Background: Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is essential to optimize treatment strategies.
Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound for benign and malignant pancreatic neoplasms.
Data Sources: Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases.
Objective: To observe the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in serum and expression of NF-κB in pulmonary tissue of rats with severe scald injury.
Methods: One hundred and sixty SD rats were divided into sham injury (A), sham injury+DHA (B), scald (C), and scald+DHA (D) groups according to the random number table, with 40 rats in each group. Rats in groups A and B were sham injured, while rats in groups C and D were inflicted with 30% TBSA full-thickness scald on the back.
