Although Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Acupuncture (PRISMA-A) checklists had been in use for several years, compliance rate was still not optimistic. We investigated the quality of reporting for meta-analyses of acupuncture published in PubMed. We compared the compliance rate for the quality of reporting following the publication of both the PRISMA and PRISMA-A recommendations.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on 409 MDS patients receiving hypomethylating agents (HMA) at 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province to assess their efficacy and safety, focusing on response rates and survival outcomes.
  • The findings revealed a complete remission (CR) rate of 33.98% and an overall response rate (ORR) of 77.02%, with factors like complex karyotype and TP53 mutations impacting the prognosis.
  • No significant differences were observed between dosages of HMA, but patients treated with decitabine had a longer median overall survival of 29.53 months compared to 20.17 months with azacitidine, though the incidence of side effects varied between the two treatments.

Unlabelled: carbapenemase (KPC) variants can contribute to resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam (CZA) in (KP). However, two-copy KPC variant-mediated resistance to CZA has rarely been reported to date. Here, we aimed to clarify the evolutionary trajectory of CZA resistance driven by mutations in double-copy to carried by the tandem core structure (IS-IS-IS) during treatment of ST11 carbapenem-resistant (CRKP).

Department of the 3rd gerontology, Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province, NO.1 Xianlin East Road, Hangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a significant global health challenge, with its etiology intricately linked to a variety of genetic and environmental factors. Among these, lipid metabolism has been hypothesized to play a crucial role, though the causal pathways remain inadequately elucidated. This study aims to employ Mendelian Randomization (MR) to unravel the potential causal relationships between a comprehensive array of lipid species and the risk of developing AD.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to examine the link between deep medullary vein (DMV) scores and brain atrophy in patients suffering from cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
  • Researchers analyzed imaging and clinical data from 125 CSVD patients, calculating gray matter volume in relation to overall brain volume and scoring DMV visibility across six brain regions.
  • The findings revealed a significant negative association between DMV scores and normalized gray matter volume, suggesting that DMV dysfunction may contribute to brain atrophy independently of other factors like age and gender.

Article Synopsis
  • Targeting immune checkpoints is a promising strategy for boosting anti-tumor immune responses, particularly with CTLA-4 inhibitors that are already being used in clinical settings.
  • While these therapies show good results in general, their effectiveness is limited in pancreatic cancer due to patient conditions and tumor characteristics.
  • Research indicates that combining CTLA-4 inhibitors with other treatments enhances their effectiveness, and this review explores innovative combination strategies for future studies.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, considering the growing prevalence of NAFLD among chronic hepatitis B patients.
  • A meta-analysis of 20 studies found that HBV-infected individuals may have a lower risk of developing NAFLD, with diabetes and body mass index being significant factors influencing this association.
  • The findings suggest that while HBV infection might offer some protection against fatty liver disease, the presence of hepatic steatosis is linked to metabolic syndrome and specific metabolic indicators in these patients.
