Evidence Based Social Science in China Paper 2: The History and Development of Evidence Based Social Work in China.

Objectives: To present the history and potential for development of evidence-based (EB) social work in China.

Study Design And Setting: The conception and methodology of EB social work is a potential strategy to support high quality development of social work in China. This article documents and analyzes the progress of EB social work in China.

Evidence Based Social Science in China Paper 4 : The quality of social science systematic reviews and meta-analysis published from 2000-2019.

Objectives: To examine the characteristics, methodological and reporting quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in social science journals in China.

Study Design And Setting: The Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) databases were searched for systematic reviews and meta-analysis published between January 2000 and December 2019. We randomly selected 200 articles from the 401 identified in our search.

Selective admission policy of medical undergraduates in western China: applicants' real attitudes to the choice of a rural medical career.

Introduction: Since 2010, the Chinese government has been introducing selective admission policy to recruit rural students for 5-year western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine undergraduate education in order to improve rural townships' medical services system in western China. This study aimed to analyse the selective admission policy in western China from the perspective of medical students' attitudes towards rural career choice.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted and an anonymous questionnaire was used to investigate a sample of medical undergraduates chosen under the selective admission policy.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and reduction of depressive symptoms in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study is to systematically review the efficacy of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) supplements in reducing depressive symptoms among older adults aged 60 and above.

Methods: Relevant electronic databases were searched from their inception to June 4, 2018, including Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Global Health, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov and Chinese Biomedical Medicine Database.

Long-term clinical outcomes of everolimus-eluting stent versus paclitaxel-eluting stent in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions: a meta-analysis.

Background: Everolimus -eluting stent (EES) is common used in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Our purpose is to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes of everolimus -eluting stent (EES) versus paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronaryinterventions (PCI) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods: We searched Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and relevant websites ( https://scholar-google-com.

Bicarbonate versus lactate solutions for acute peritoneal dialysis.

Background: The high mortality rate among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains an unsolved problem in intensive care medicine, despite the use of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Increasing evidence from clinical studies in adults and children suggests that the new peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids may allow for better long-term preservation of peritoneal morphology and function. Formation of glucose degradation products (GDPs) can be reduced and even avoided with the use of newer "biocompatible" solutions.

Evidence-based practice in the health and social services in China: developments, strategies, and challenges.

For the past decade, healthcare professionals and decision makers in China have made efforts to promote the development of evidence-based practice (EBP) in medicine and health services. In recent years, attention has been given to the use of EBP among other nonmedical fields, such as social work and education. The purpose of this article is to explore the current and the future development of EBP in health and social services in China.

Azithromycin versus penicillin G benzathine for early syphilis.

Background: Syphilis is a complex systemic disease caused by a spirochete, Treponema pallidum. The World Health Organization estimates that at least 12 million people worldwide are currently infected with syphilis. In this review we compared two current standards of treatment for early syphilis, benzathine benzylpenicillin (penicillin G) and azithromycin.

High dose rate versus low dose rate intracavity brachytherapy for locally advanced uterine cervix cancer.

Background: Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the second most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death among women. Radiotherapy has been used successfully to treat cervical cancer for nearly a century. The combination of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) has become a standard treatment modality for cervical cancer.

Azithromycin vs. benzathine penicillin G for early syphilis: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

The World Health Organization estimates that at least 12 million people are infected with syphilis in the world. Southeast Asia accounts for 5.8 million; Africa accounts for 3.

[Meta analysis of clinical effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer].

Background & Objective: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has gained increasing attention as a treatment for gastric cancer since Wilke first reported its application to the treatment of gastric cancer in 1989. However, its value in treating gastric cancer remains controversial. This research was to assess the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on gastric cancer through a Meta analysis of the randomized controlled trials published worldwide in both English and Chinese.

Safety of irinotecan/cisplatin versus etoposide/cisplatin for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer: a metaanalysis.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer treated with irinotecan/cisplatin (IP) versus etoposide/cisplatin (EP).

Patients And Methods: This is a metaanalysis of a randomized controlled trial. The main outcome measures for safety were grade 3/4 leukopenia, grade 3 anemia, grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia, grade 3/4 neutropenia, grade 3 vomiting/nausea, grade 3/4 diarrhea, and infection.
