This study aimed to assess the efficacy of acupuncture for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. Systematic review and meta-analysis including randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of acupuncture treatment (AT) with pharmacotherapy (methylphenidate hydrochloride, MPH) among patients with ADHD. A total of 12 electronic databases were searched from inception until February 3, 2020. The main outcomes were the effective rate and post-treatment hyperactivity scores. We also assessed the incidence of adverse events and follow-up course. A total of 10 studies involving 876 patients were included in this study. The meta-analysis revealed that AT yielded a significantly higher effective rate than MPH (odds ratio 2.239, 95% CI 1.438-3.487, p < 0.001, 8 studies), and that AT can reduce the hyperactivity scores to a lesser degree than MPH (standardized mean difference = -0.882, 95% CI -1.295 to -0.469, p < 0.001, 3 studies). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bay-3827.html Two studies reportedthe outcome of hyperactivity scores with the high risk of bias, very low GRADE, and small number of studies. Thus, further studies of rigorous design and high quality are needed to confirm and strengthen the results, especially in the Western part of the world. Additionally, well-designed randomized controlled trials that evaluate adverse events and include a long-term follow-up should be conducted to determine the efficacy, safety, and side effects of AT for ADHD in children and adolescents. The mortality of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients remains high. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), as an indicator of systemic inflammation, has been considered to be a predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in hemodialysis patients. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between NLR and long-term outcome in PD patients. The study included patients who initiated PD for at least 3 months between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2015. All the patients were followed up until death, cessation of PD, or to the end of the study (June 31, 2018). NLR was calculated as the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes. A total of 140 patients were included in this study. The median NLR reported was 2.87. Patients with lower NLR showed a higher survival rate than patients with higher NLR (log rank 6.886, p = 0.009). Furthermore, patients with higher NLR had a significantly higher cardiovascular mortality (log rank 5.221, p = 0.022). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed that older age (HR 1.054, 95% CI 1.017-1.092, p = 0.004), higher Ca × P (HR 1.689, 95% CI 1.131-2.523, p = 0.010), and higher NLR (HR 2.603, 95% CI 1.037-6.535, p = 0.042) were independent predictors of increased all-cause mortality. NLR was also independently associated with cardiovascular mortality (HR 2.886, 95% CI 1.005-8.283, p = 0.039). Higher NLR (HR 2.667, 95% CI 1.333-5.337, p = 0.006), older age (HR 1.028, 95% CI 1.005-1.052, p = 0.016), and history of cardiovascular disease (HR 1.426, 95% CI 1.195-3.927, p = 0.031) were significantly independently associated with poor peritonitis-free survival in this study. NLR could be a strong predictor of long-term outcome in PD patients. NLR could be a strong predictor of long-term outcome in PD patients. The aim of this study was to investigate sclerostin (SOST) expression in a rat model of experimental tympanosclerosis (TS) and its possible role in the formation of TS. Thirty-four SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups experimental group (n = 17) and normal group (n = 17). The left tympanic cavities in the experimental group were inoculated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The changes of tympanic membranes were examined and recorded under otoendoscope. Haematoxylin-eosin staining was adopted to detect the morphological changes in the tympanic membrane and middle ear mucosa. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were used to observe the expression of SOST, Wnt3a, β-catenin, and P-ERK1/2. In the experimental group, sclerotic lesions were observed in 54.5% ears in the end of 6 weeks. Morphological changes such as mucosa incrassation, inflammatory cells infiltration, fibrous tissue proliferation, and interstitial tissue incrassation prominently appeared in the tympanic membrane and middle ear mucosa. SOST protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells and gland cells, the expression of which increased significantly in the calcified experimental ears. In addition, expression levels of Wnt3a, β-catenin, and P-ERK1/2 increased significantly in the calcified group too. The upregulated expression level of SOST may be involved in the formation of TS, first, through the pro-phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in the inflammatory stage, and then through the enhancement of Wnt3a in the osteogenic stage. The upregulated expression level of SOST may be involved in the formation of TS, first, through the pro-phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in the inflammatory stage, and then through the enhancement of Wnt3a in the osteogenic stage. Although genetic testing for known familial melanoma genes is commercially available, clinical implementation has been restrained as utility is unclear, concerns of causing psychological distress are often cited, and consumer interest and perceptions are not well understood. A review of studies exploring participant-reported psychosocial outcomes and attitudes towards genetic testing for familial melanoma will provide insight into common emotional and cognitive responses. Database searches of PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library were conducted using a date range of January 1995 to June 2020. Studies examining any psychosocial outcomes alongside genetic testing (real or hypothetical), in participants described as having a high risk of melanoma, were eligible. A narrative synthesis of results was used to describe psychosocial outcomes and summarise participant beliefs and attitudes towards genetic testing. Limited evidence of adverse psychosocial outcomes was found. No impacts on percollowing genetic testing. There was no indication of increased distress after genetic test results had been disclosed. If these findings were replicated in additional, larger, diverse populations over a longer follow-up period, this would be compelling evidence to guide clinical recommendations.
