    ollow up was 60.0 months. Immunological response improved in the Tα1 group compared with the control group (P  less then  .001) but the virologic response was similar between 2 groups after 24 months. Patients with Tα1 therapy had better RFS and OS before (P = .018 and P  less then  .001) and after (P = .006 and P  less then  .001) propensity matching. Multivariate analysis revealed that Tα1 therapy was an independent prognostic factor for both OS (P  less then  .001, HR = 0.308, 95% CI 0.175-0.541) and RFS (P  less then  .001, HR = 0.381, 95% CI 0.229-0.633).Tα1 as an adjuvant therapy improves the prognosis of solitary HBV-related HCC patients after curative liver resection.

    To analyze the efficacy and safety between bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (BipoLEP) and bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP).One hundred twenty eight patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were recruited and divided into group 1 (BipoLEP group, n = 72) and group 2 (B-TURP group, n = 56). The study period was from October 2016 to February 2019. All data parameters were prospectively collected and analyzed.In these 2 groups, there were no significant differences of the mean ages (71.88 ± 6.54 years vs 73.05 ± 7.05 years, P = .407), prostate volumes (99.14 ± 9.5 mL vs 95.08 ± 10.93 mL, P = .302) and the mean operation times (93.7 ± 27.5 minutes vs 89.8 ± 22.4 minutes, P = .065). In BipoLEP group, it had more prostate tissue resected (64.2 ± 22.1 g vs 52.7 ± 28.6 g, P = .018), less duration of continuous bladder irrigation (20.7 ± 6.5 hours vs 29.6 ± 8.3 hours, P = .044), shorter catheterization time (4.3 ± 1.5 days vs 5.6 ± 2.1 days, P = .032), shorter hospitalizationarger than 80 g.

    The efficacy of gabapentin for pain management of arthroscopy remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of gabapentin versus placebo on the postoperative pain intensity of arthroscopy.

    We search PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through April 2020 for randomized controlled trials assessing the effect of gabapentin versus placebo on pain control of arthroscopy. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effect model.

    Five randomized controlled trials are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with control group for arthroscopy, gabapentin remarkably decreases pain scores at 24 hour (standard mean difference [SMD]=-0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI]=-1.15 to -0.02; P = .21), analgesic consumption (SMD = -18.24; 95% CI=-24.61 to -11.88; P < .00001), nausea and vomiting (OR = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.21 to 0.84; P = .01), but has no obvious influence on pain scores at 6 h (SMD = -1.30; 95% CI = -2.92 to 0.31; P = .11) or dizziness (OR = 1.12; 95% CI = 0.56 to 2.24; P = .75).

    Gabapentin is effective for pain control after arthroscopy.

    Nocturia is a common and highly troubled lower urinary tract symptom, which has a wide range of effects. About 33% of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms have been affected by nocturia. Nocturia is mainly manifested as the increase of urination frequency and urine volume at night. It has been proved that acupuncture can reduce the symptoms of nocturia and regulate bladder function in Western countries. Acupuncture may be a promising choice for the treatment of nocturia.

    RCTs of acupuncture for nocturia will be searched in the relevant database, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Chinese Scientific Journal Database. The studies of electronic searches will be exported to EndNote V.9.1 software. We will run meta-analyses using the Review Manager (RevMan) V.5.3 software. Any disagreement will be solved in consultation with a third reviewer.

    Our study aims to explore the efficacy of acupuncture for nocturia and to provide up-to-date evidence for clinical of nocturia.

    The conclusion of this study will provide evidence for the efficacy of acupuncture treatment of nocturia.

    There is an elevated risk of rebleeding when the aneurysm is left untreated in patients diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Occlusion of the lumen of the aneurysm using endovascular coiling is a common method to prevent rebleeding by occluding the aneurysm. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular coiling in patients with aneurysmal SAH.

    A systematic search for relevant articles will be performed in 4 English electronic databases, including MEDLINE (from 1966 to October 2020), EMBASE (from 1980 to October 2020), the Cochrane Library (from 2020, issue 10), Scopus (from 1823 to October 2020), and 3 Chinese electronic databases, including Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (from 1995 to October 2020), WanFang (last searched October 2020), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (last searched October 2020). This study will comprise randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using endovascular coiling in the treatment of aneurysmal SAH. compound library chemical The articles in the databases will be independently screened by 2 authors to select potential studies, extract data, and evaluate the bias risk in the selected studies. This study will use suitable statistical methods to merge result data.

    The results of this study will be useful in determining the efficacy and safety of endovascular coiling for treating patients with aneurysmal SAH.

    The findings of this study will summarize the most recent evidence on the effectiveness and safety of using endovascular coiling to treat aneurysmal SAH.

    The present work does not involve any humans or animals; therefore, ethical approval is not needed.
