https://www.selleckchem.com/products/yd23.html Background Delayed motor development (DMD) is an extremely common development disorder in children. Multiple factors, including mother's influence, diseases, physical or chemical factors and trauma, are strongly associated with DMD. Infancy is a key period in the development of neuromotor function. For children who are at high risk of DMD, early clinical intervention can, to a certain extent, reverse and repair the damaged function of the brain, improving the child's prognosis and their quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Rougan Tongdu combined with point-pressing massage therapy (RT-PMT) in children at high risk of DMD. Methods Between March 2017 and March 2019, a total of 63 children at high risk of DMD were admitted and treated with RT-PMT in our hospital. These children were divided into three intervention groups (IGs) based on their age in months IG I (22, 0-3 months), IG II (25, 4-6 months), and IG III (16, 7-12 months). An additional 63 healthy age-matched children were enrolledtter than those in the other groups (P less then 0.05). Conclusions RT-PMT is beneficial for children at high risk of DMD.Background Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgical procedure; however, the effects of laparoscopic and open mesh repair in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of laparoscopic and open mesh repair in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia by conducting a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods A comprehensive, meta-analysis of RCTs on the effects of laparoscopic and open mesh repair in the treatment of recurrent inguinal hernia was performed. English- and Chinese-language studies published up to December 30, 2017 were identified via a systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases.
