Cui W, Xie Y. Oncological results in women with wound complications following mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction: A meta‐analysis. Int Wound J 2022; 20:1361-1368. [PMID: 36336978 PMCID: PMC10088858 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.13982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the oncological results in women with wound complications following mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. A systematic literature search up to August 2022 was performed and 1618 subjects with mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction at the baseline of the studies; 443 of them were with wound complications, and 1175 were with no wound complications as a control. Odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the oncological results in women with wound complications following mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction using dichotomous or contentious methods with a random or fixed-effect model. The wound complications had a significantly longer length of time to adjuvant therapy (MD, 9.44; 95% CI, 4.07-14.82, P < .001) compared with no wound complications in subjects with mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. However, no significant difference was found between wound complications and no wound complications in subjects with mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction in breast cancer recurrence (OR, 1.96; 95% CI, 0.95-4.06, P = .07), death rates (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 0.89-4.27, P = .09), and kind of immediate breast reconstruction (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.53-1.92, P = .98). The wound complications had a significantly longer length of time to adjuvant, however, no significant difference was found in breast cancer recurrence, death rates, and kind of immediate breast reconstruction. The analysis of outcomes should be done with caution even though no low sample size was found in the meta-analysis but a low number of studies was found in certain comparisons.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of enteral immunonutrition compared with enteral nutrition on surgical wound infection, immune and inflammatory factors, serum proteins, and cellular immunity in subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy. A systematic literature search up to November 2021 was done, and 10 studies included 1056 subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy at the start of the study: 505 of them were provided with enteral immunonutrition, and 551 were enteral nutrition. They were reporting relationships about the effect of enteral immunonutrition compared with enteral nutrition on surgical wound infection, immune and inflammatory factors, serum proteins, and cellular immunity in subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of enteral immunonutrition compared with enteral nutrition on surgical wound infection, immune and inflammatory factors, serum proteins, and cellular immunity in subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy using the dichotomous or contentious method with a random or fixed-effect model. Enteral immunonutrition had no significant difference in the surgical wound infection (OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.50-1.19, P = .24), the infectious complication (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, .48-1.09, P = .13), the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (MD, -0.50; 95% CI, -1.40 to 0.39, P = .27), the CD8+ level (MD, 1.34; 95% CI, 0-2.68, P = .05), the CD4+ level (MD, 1.21; 95% CI, -7.65 to 10.07, P = .79), the CD4-CD8+ (MD, 0.55; 95% CI, 0-1.10, P = .05), the lymphocyte (MD, -0.77; 95% CI, -1.87 to 0.33, P = .17), and the transferrin (MD, 0.03; 95% CI, -0.01 to 0.08, P = .14) compared with enteral nutrition in subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy. However, enteral immunonutrition had significantly higher proalbumin (MD, 22.15; 95% CI, 3.57-40.72, P = .02), IgM (MD, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.43-0.50, P < .001), and IgG (MD, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.08-2.89, P < .001) compared with enteral nutrition in subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy. Enteral immunonutrition had no significant difference in the surgical wound infection, the infectious complication, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome, the CD8+ level, the CD4+ level, the CD4+/CD8+, the lymphocyte, and the transferrin, and had significantly higher proalbumin, IgM, and IgG compared with enteral nutrition in subjects with gastric cancer undergoing a total gastrectomy. Further studies are required to validate these findings or to affect the confidence level.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, is a multistep process that usually develops in the background of cirrhosis, but also in a non-cirrhotic state in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or viral hepatis. Emerging evidence suggests that intermittent fasting can reduce the risk of cancer development and could improve response and tolerance to treatment through the metabolic and hormonal adaptations induced by the low energy availability that finally impairs cancer cells’ adaptability, survival and growth. The current review will outline the beneficial effects of fasting in NAFLD/NASH patients and the possible mechanisms that can prevent HCC development, including circadian clock re-synchronization, with a special focus on the possibility of applying this dietary intervention to cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of enhanced pharmaceutical recovery as postoperative standard care after radical cystectomy. METHODS A systematic literature search up to April 2021 was done and 33 studies included 6596 subjects submitted to surgery for radical cystectomy at the start of the study; 3143 of them received enhanced pharmaceutical recovery after surgery and 3453 were controls. The studies reported relationships about the effects of enhanced pharmaceutical recovery as postoperative standard care after radical cystectomy. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effects of enhanced pharmaceutical recovery as postoperative standard care after radical cystectomy using the dichotomous and continuous methods with a random or fixed-effect model. RESULTS Enhanced pharmaceutical recovery after surgery had significantly lower length of hospital stay (MD, -2.78; 95% CI, -3.59 to -1.97, p < 0.001), complications (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.60-0.94, p = 0.01), readmission within 30 days (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.69-0.94, p = 0.007), and time to defecation (MD, -1.30; 95% CI, -2.22 to -0.37, p = 0.006) compared to control in subjects submitted to radical cystectomy. CONCLUSIONS Enhanced pharmaceutical recovery after surgery may reduce the length of hospital stay, complications, readmission within 30 days, and time to first bowel movement compared to control in subjects with surgery for radical cystectomy. Furthers studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
Despite the increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders, the potential effects of metabolic factors on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in individuals with chronic liver diseases (CLDs) are not well understood. For a metabolic factor to be identified as a risk factor for HCC in patients with CLDs, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, there should be a strong synergistic interaction between the carcinogenic mechanisms of the metabolic factor and the CLD itself. This review aims to comprehensively summarize the published data on the relationship between metabolic factors such as diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, and blood lipids and the risk of HCC in patients with CLDs. DM consistently increases the risk of HCC in patients with CLD. When associated with DM, the risk of HCC seems to be highest in HCV and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), followed by alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and HBV. Obesity may increase the risk of HCC. Among CLDs, the evidence is relatively consistent and clear for ALD, while clear evidence is limited in other CLDs including HBV, HCV, and NAFLD. Total cholesterol, potentially low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride, seems to have strong inverse associations with HCC in individuals with CLDs. Despite evidence from observational studies, statins had no effect in preventing HCC in randomized controlled trials. Whether statins have a preventive effect against HCC is unclear. A better understanding and management of metabolic factors may be beneficial to reduce the risk of HCC in patients with CLDs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The increasing availability of clinical imaging tests (especially CT and MRI) that directly quantify adipose tissue has led to a rapid increase in studies examining the relationship of visceral, subcutaneous, and overall adiposity to cancer survival. To summarize this emerging body of literature, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of imaging-measured as well as anthropometric proxies for adipose tissue distribution and cancer survival across a wide range of cancer types. METHODS Using keywords related to adiposity, cancer, and survival, we conducted a systematic search of the literature in PubMed and MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection databases from database inception to 30 June 2021. We used a random-effect method to calculate pooled hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) within each cancer type and tested for heterogeneity using Cochran's Q test and the I2 test. RESULTS We included 203 records for this review, of which 128 records were utilized for quantitative analysis among 10 cancer types: breast, colorectal, gastroesophageal, head and neck, hepatocellular carcinoma, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and renal cancer. We found that imaging-measured visceral, subcutaneous, and total adiposity were not significantly associated with increased risk of overall mortality, death from primary cancer, or cancer progression among patients diagnosed with these 10 cancer types; however, we found significant or high heterogeneity for many cancer types. For example, heterogeneity was similarly high when the pooled HRs (95% CI) for overall mortality associated with visceral adiposity were essentially null as in 1.03 (0.55, 1.92; I2 = 58%) for breast, 0.99 (0.81, 1.21; I2 = 71%) for colorectal, versus when they demonstrated a potential increased risk 1.17 (0.85, 1.60; I2 = 78%) for hepatocellular carcinoma and 1.62 (0.90, 2.95; I2 = 84%) for renal cancer. CONCLUSION Greater adiposity at diagnosis (directly measured by imaging) is not associated with worse survival among cancer survivors. However, heterogeneity and other potential limitations were noted across studies, suggesting differences in study design and adiposity measurement approaches, making interpretation of meta-analyses challenging. Future work to standardize imaging measurements and data analyses will strengthen research on the role of adiposity in cancer survival.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy compared with conventional wound dressings on closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery. A systematic literature search up to October 2021 was done and 12 studies included 3555 subjects with closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery at the start of the study: 1833 of them were provided with negative pressure wound therapy and 1722 were conventional wound dressings. They were reporting relationships about the effect of negative pressure wound therapy compared with conventional wound dressings on closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of negative pressure wound therapy compared with conventional wound dressings on closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery using the dichotomous and continuous methods with a random or fixed-effect model. Negative pressure wound therapy had significantly lower deep surgical site infection (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.48-0.88, P = .005), superficial surgical site infection (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.11-0.49, P = .31), and wound dehiscence (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.21-0.80, P = .009) compared with conventional wound dressings in subjects with closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery. However, negative pressure wound therapy had no significant effect on the length of hospital stay (MD, 0.29; 95% CI, -2.00- 2.58, P = .80) compared with conventional wound dressings in subjects with closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Negative pressure wound therapy had significantly lower deep surgical site infection, superficial surgical site infection, and wound dehiscence; however, negative pressure wound therapy had no beneficial effect on the length of hospital stay compared with conventional wound dressings in subjects with closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. A systematic literature search up to October 2021 was done and 31 studies included 4448 subjects with gastrointestinal surgery at the start of the study: 2242 of them were provided with rapid rehabilitation and 2206 were standard care. They were reporting relationships about the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of rapid rehabilitation on the curative effect of gastrointestinal surgery subjects using the dichotomous method with a random- or fixed-effect model. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.54-0.71, P < .001) and wound infection (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.55-0.98, P = .03) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. However, rapid rehabilitation had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak (OR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.66-1.22, P = .49), obstruction (OR, 0.92; 95% CI, -0.64 to 1.31, P = .65), and hospital re-admission (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.57-1.08, P = .13) compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Rapid rehabilitation had significantly lower complications and wound infection, and had no significant effect on the anastomotic leak, obstruction, and hospital re-admission compared with standard care in subjects with gastrointestinal surgery. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of wound protectors in reducing the incidence of surgical site wound infection in lower gastrointestinal surgery. A systematic literature search up to June 2022 was performed and 6026 subjects with lower gastrointestinal surgery at the baseline of the studies; 3090 of them were using the wound protector, and 2936 were using no wound protector. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of wound protectors in reducing the incidence of surgical site wound infection in lower gastrointestinal surgery using the dichotomous methods with a random or fixed-effect model. The surgical site wound infection was significantly lower with single-ring wound protectors (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.39-0.83, P = .004), and dual-ring wound protectors (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.35-0.56, P < .001) in subjects with lower gastrointestinal surgery compared with no wound protector. The surgical site wound infection was significantly lower with single-ring wound protectors, and dual-ring wound protectors in subjects with lower gastrointestinal surgery compared with no wound protector. The analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low sample size of 5 out of 28 studies in the meta-analysis and a low number of studies in certain comparisons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of acupoint herbal patching as an add-on to asthma medication during Sanfu days, as the hottest days in summer, on the acute attack, immunological response, and the pulmonary function in asthmatic children. METHODS A systematic literature search up to July 2021 was performed and 13 studies included 1166 asthmatic children at the start of the study; 587 of them were using acupoint herbal patching as an add-on to asthma medication during Sanfu days and 579 were given asthma medication only. RESULTS Acupoint herbal patching as add-on to asthma medication had significantly lower frequency of acute attack (mean difference [MD], -1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], -2.28 to -0.85, P < .001), lower asthma relapse (odds ratio, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.04-0.43, P < .001), and higher forced expiratory volume in 1 second (MD, 1.72; 95% CI, 0.89-2.65, P < .001), higher peak expiratory flow rate (MD, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.37-1.93, P = .004), lower immunoglobulin E after treatment (MD, -123.81; 95% CI, -185.60 to -62.02, P < .001), and higher interferon-gamma after treatment (MD, 7.17; 95% CI, 2.42-11.92, P = .003) compared to asthma medication only in asthmatic children. CONCLUSIONS Acupoint herbal patching as an add-on to asthma medication during Sanfu days had a significantly lower frequency of acute attack, lower asthma relapse, higher forced expiratory volume in 1 second, higher peak expiratory flow rate, and higher interferon-gamma after treatment in asthmatic children compared to asthma medication only in asthmatic children.

Abstract
Significant efforts have been made to improve adsorbents capable of eliminating pollutants from aqueous solutions, making it simple and quick to separate from the treated solution. In the current study, the removal of Crystal Violet Dye (CVD) from an aqueous synthetic solution onto a marine diatom alga, Skeletonema costatum, was investigated. Different experiments were conducted as a function of different pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and initial CVD concentration. The highest adsorption efficiency (98%) was obtained at 0.4 g of S. costatum, pH 3, and a contact time of 120 min, at 25 °C. Furthermore, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results display that binding of CVD on S. costatum may occur by electrostatic and complexation reactions. Moreover, the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis (BET) obtained was 87.17 m2 g-1, which, in addition to a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals large pores that could enhance the uptake of large molecules. However, the equilibrium adsorption models were conducted by Halsey, Langmuir, Freundlich, Henderson, and Tempkin isotherm. In addition, multilayer adsorption isotherm best described the uptake of CVD onto S. costatum. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity (qmax) was 6.410 mg g-1. Moreover, thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption studies suggested that the uptake of CVD onto S. costatum was endothermic and spontaneous. The pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intra-particle diffusion kinetic equations were applied to model the adsorption kinetic data. It was seen that the kinetics of the adsorption may be described using pseudo-second-order kinetic equations. Finally, the present work concluded that the marine diatom alga S. costatum is suitable as a natural material for the adsorption of CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A meta-analysis was made to assess the impact of entecavir comparison with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as nucleos(t)ide analogue on hepatic cellular carcinoma (HCC). The study had subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). Systemic research was done for all studies concerned with our topic till the date (March 2022). We included 19 studies in which 27,618 subjects participated. All subjects included were diagnosed with chronic HBV at the beginning of the study. A total of 15,734 subjects from the overall 27,618 were medicated with entecavir; however, 11,884 subjects were on tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with confidence intervals (CIs) of 95% to evaluate the impact of entecavir and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate on HCC in subjects with chronic HBV by applying a dichotomous approach with a random or fixed-effect model.
Results
Chronic HBV subjects treated with entecavir showed a higher significant biochemical response than those treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.21–1.60, at p < 0.001). Also, no significant difference was detected with entecavir compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate concerning the occurrence of hepatic cells cancer (OR 1.26; 95% CI 0.96–1.67, p = 0.10), virological response (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.63–1.25, p = 0.49), and seroconversion (OR 1.27; 95% CI 0.76–2.14, p = 0.37).
Conclusions
The use of entecavir resulted in a significantly higher biochemical response; nevertheless, it did not show any significant variation concerning the occurrence of hepatic cancer, virological response, or serological conversion compared to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in chronic HBV subjects. So, results interpretation needs to be carried out carefully owing to the limited number of studies included in specific comparisons, e.g., serological conversion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We examined the impact of bisphosphonates as adjuvant therapy on the recurrence of giant cell bone tumors and the impact of various tumor stages and surgical techniques on this effect. Following a thorough examination of the literature up to January 2022, 10 studies including 601 adults with giant cell tumors of the bone were reported; 295 of these subjects received bisphosphonates as adjuvant therapy following surgery, and 306 served as the control group. To examine the possibility of lowering the recurrence of giant cell bone tumors, a comparison between bisphosphonates and a control group was made. In order to evaluate the impact of bisphosphonates as adjuvant therapy on the recurrence of the giant cell bone tumor, odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined. Additionally, the dichotomous technique with a random or fixed-effect model was used to examine the effects of various tumor stages and pertinent surgical procedures.
Results
Patients with giant cell tumors of the bone who received bisphosphonates as adjuvant therapy had significantly lower postoperative recurrence rates outcomes in all subjects with giant cell tumor of bone (OR 0.19; 95% CI 0.12–0.31, p = 0.001), patients with stage I–II giant cell tumors of the bone (OR 0.29; 95% CI 0.11–0.76, p = 0.01), patients with stage III giant cell tumors of the bone (OR 0.17; 95% CI 0.07–0.42, p < 0.001); and post-intralesional curettage (OR 0.18; 95% CI 0.06–0.49, p < 0.001) compared to control. Bisphosphonates were used in participants with giant cell tumors of the bone after broad excision, but there was no discernible difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative recurrence outcomes (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.11–3.91, p = 0.65).
Conclusions
In patients with giant cell tumors of the bone after intralesional curettage, the use of bisphosphonates as adjuvant therapy may lower the incidence of postoperative recurrence outcomes, but no appreciable difference was identified after extensive resection. According to the observed relationship, using bisphosphonates is advised to lower the likelihood of postoperative recurrence that can happen in patients with giant cell tumors of the bone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Green tea is related to the reduction of liver enzymes, lipoprotein, and body mass index. However, some reports related green tea to the risk of developing liver cancer, but their outcomes were conflicting. Hence, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between green tea intake and lipoprotein, liver enzymes, body mass index, and liver cancer. METHODS A systematic literature search up to January 2022 was performed and 22 studies with a total of 169599 subjects participated in the studies with 97316 subjects of them used green tea intake. Odds ratio (OR) or standardized mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to evaluate the relationship between green tea intake and lipoprotein, liver enzymes, body mass index, and liver cancer using the dichotomous or the contentious method with a random effect model. RESULTS Green tea intake significantly lowered the risk of developing liver cancer (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74 to 0.97, p = 0.02), and body mass index (MD, -0.69; 95% CI, -0.95to -0.42, p < 0.001) compared to no green tea intake. Also, there was a significant lowering effect of green tea intake on liver enzymes including alanine aminotransferase (MD, -0.65; 95% CI, -0.92 to -0.38, p < 0.001), and aspartate aminotransferase (MD, -0.77; 95% CI, -1.40 to -0.14, p = 0.02) compared to no green tea intake. There was also a significant lowering effect of green tea intake on lipoprotein including triglycerides (MD, -0.70; 95% CI, -1.35 to -0.04, p = 0.04), total cholesterol (MD, -0.39; 95% CI, -0.74 to -0.04, p = 0.03) and law-density lipoprotein (MD, -0.44; 95% CI, -0.69- -0.19, p < 0.001) compared to no green tea intake. However, no significant different was found between green tea intake and no green tea intake on high-density lipoprotein (MD, 0.16; 95% CI, -0.11 to 0.44, p = 0.24). CONCLUSIONS Based on this meta-analysis, green tea intake had a significant lowering effect on the risk of developing liver cancer and had a significantly improving effect on body mass index, liver enzymes, and lipoprotein compared to no green tea intake. These results suggest that green tea may be added to the daily dietary program to improve cardiovascular status with no possible risk of liver cancer. It even may have a protecting effect against liver cancer in the usual daily number of cups.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary hepatic malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related death globally. HCC is associated with an indolent clinical presentation, resulting in frequent advanced stage diagnoses where surgical resection or transplant therapies are not an option and medical therapies are largely ineffective at improving survival. As such, there is a critical need to identify and enhance primary prevention strategies to mitigate HCC-related morbidity and mortality. Obesity is an independent risk factor for the onset and progression of HCC. Furthermore, obesity is a leading cause of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the fasting growing etiological factor of HCC. Herein, we review evolving clinical and mechanistic associations between obesity and hepatocarcinogenesis with an emphasis on the therapeutic efficacy of prevailing lifestyle/behavioral, medical, and surgical treatment strategies for weight reduction and NASH reversal.

Abstract
Although inflammatory mechanisms driving hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been proposed, the regulators of anticancer immunity in HCC remain poorly understood. We found that IL27 receptor (IL27R) signaling promotes HCC development in vivo. High IL27EBI3 cytokine or IL27RA expression correlated with poor prognosis for patients with HCC. Loss of IL27R suppressed HCC in vivo in two different models of hepatocarcinogenesis. Mechanistically, IL27R sig-naling within the tumor microenvironment restrains the cytotoxicity of innate cytotoxic lymphocytes. IL27R ablation enhanced their accumulation and activation, whereas depletion or functional impairment of innate cytotoxic cells abrogated the effect of IL27R disruption. Pharmacologic neutralization of IL27 signaling increased infiltration of innate cytotoxic lymphocytes with upregulated cytotoxic molecules and reduced HCC development. Our data reveal an unexpected role of IL27R signaling as an immunologic checkpoint regulating innate cytotoxic lymphocytes and promoting HCC of different etiologies, thus indicating a therapeutic potential for IL27 pathway blockade in HCC. SIGNIFICANCE HCC, the most common form of liver cancer, is characterized by a poor survival rate and limited treatment options. The discovery of a novel IL27-dependent mechanism controlling anticancer cytotoxic immune response will pave the road for new treatment options for this devastating disease. This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 1825.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of serologic malnutrition on postoperative wound infection problems after total joint arthroplasty. A systematic literature search up to April 2022, was performed and 446 501 subjects with total joint arthroplasty at the baseline of the studies; 200 433 of them were confirmed serologic malnutrition, and 246 068 were confirmed normal nutrition. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of serologic malnutrition on postoperative wound infection problems after total joint arthroplasty using the dichotomous method with a random or fixed-effect model. The serologic malnutrition subjects had a significantly higher wound disruption (OR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.53-2.53, P < 0.001), higher superficial incisional surgical site infection (OR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.67-5.01, P < 0.001), higher deep incisional surgical site infection (OR, 3.06; 95% CI, 2.36-3.96, P < 0.001), and higher organ space surgical site infection (OR, 3.15; 95% CI, 2.34-4.24, P < 0.001) in subjects after total joint arthroplasty compared with normal nutrition. The serologic malnutrition subjects had a significantly higher wound disruption, superficial incisional surgical site infection, deep incisional surgical site infection, and organ space surgical site infection in subjects after total joint arthroplasty compared with normal nutrition. The analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low number of studies in certain comparisons.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of prophylactic negative pressure treatment for post-surgery groin wounds management in vascular surgery. A systematic literature search up to April 2022 was performed and 1537 total number of groin vascular surgery incisions at the baseline of the studies; 729 of them were using the prophylactic negative pressure treatment, and 808 were using control. Odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of prophylactic negative pressure treatment for post-surgery groin wounds management in vascular surgery using the dichotomous, and contentious methods with a random or fixed-effect model. The prophylactic negative pressure treatment subjects had a significantly lower surgical site wound infection (OR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.16-0.42, P < .001) in subjects after vascular surgery compared with control. However, prophylactic negative pressure treatment did not show any significant difference in revision surgery (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.52-1.00, P = .05), readmission (OR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.66-1.32, P = .69), mortality in hospital (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.29-1.01, P = .05), and length of hospital stay (MD, -0.24; 95% CI, -0.91-0.44, P = .49) compared with control in subjects after vascular surgery. The prophylactic negative pressure treatment subjects had a significantly lower surgical site wound infection and no significant difference in revision surgery, readmission, mortality in hospital, and length of hospital stay compared with control in subjects after vascular surgery. The analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low sample size of 2 out of 10 studies in the meta-analysis and a low number of studies in certain comparisons.

[PMID: 35249102 PMCID: PMC9276765 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-022-01771-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether obesity and being overweight, defined by body mass index (BMI), increase hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been less apparent in Asian populations. METHODS Overall, 14,265,822 Korean adults who underwent routine health examinations during 2003-2006 were followed up for HCC. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) associated with BMI were calculated. RESULTS During 13.7 years (mean) of follow-up, 47,308 individuals developed HCC. HRs of HCC associated with BMIs of 25.0-26.4, 26.5-27.9, 28.0-29.4, 29.5-30.9 and ≥31 kg/m² compared to those for 23.5-24.9 kg/m² were 1.05, 1.20, 1.39, 1.59 and 2.13, respectively. For BMI < 25 kg/m², linear associations were not apparent. For BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, the HR per 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI was 1.60 (total), 1.60 (men), and 1.59 (women). The corresponding HRs were 1.56, 1.61 and 1.60 for individuals aged <45, 45-64 and ≥65 years, respectively. Further adjustment for alanine transaminase (ALT) levels substantially reduced the HRs for high BMI, especially in men and younger adults. CONCLUSIONS Overweight and obesity clearly increase HCC risk in Koreans. ALT levels are a mediator of the impact of obesity, but it may not accurately predict high BMI-induced liver damage that can potentially progress to HCC, especially in women and older adults.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurs in the setting of prolonged liver inflammation, hepatocyte necrosis and regeneration in patients with cirrhosis. Despite the progress made in the medical management of the disorder during the past decades, the available pharmacological options remain limited, leading to poor survival rates and quality of life for patients with HCC. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2) originally emerged as drugs for the treatment of hyperglycemia; however, they soon demonstrated important extra-glycemic properties, which led to their evaluation as potential treatments for a wide range of non-metabolic disorders. Evidence from animal studies suggests that SGLT2i have the potential to modulate molecular pathways that affect hallmarks of HCC, including inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, and oxidative stress. The impressive benefits of neurohormonal modulation observed with SGLT2i in congestive heart failure set the stage for human trials in cirrhotic ascites. However, future studies need to evaluate several aspects of the benefit to risk ratio of such a therapeutic strategy, including the co-administration with antineoplastic agents and diuretics, infections, use in hospitalized individuals, renal safety and hypovolemia. In this narrative review, we discuss the putative role of SGLT2i in the treatment of patients with HCC, starting with the mechanisms that could justify a possible benefit and ending with potential clinical implications and areas for future research.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma vs standard management for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer wounds. A systematic literature search up to March 2022 was performed and 1435 subjects with diabetic foot ulcer wounds at the baseline of the studies; 723 of them were treated with platelet-rich plasma, and 712 used control. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to assess the effect of platelet-rich plasma vs standard management for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer wounds using the dichotomous method with a random or fixed-effect model. The use of autologous platelet-rich plasma resulted in significantly higher complete-healed diabetic foot ulcer wounds compared with control (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.49-2.56, P < 0.001). The use of allogeneic platelet-rich plasma resulted in significantly higher complete-healed diabetic foot ulcer wounds compared with control (OR, 6.19; 95% CI, 2.32-16.56, P < 0.001). The use of autologous and allogeneic platelet-rich plasma resulted in significantly higher complete-healed diabetic foot ulcer wounds compared with control. Though, the analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low number of studies in certain comparisons, for example, allogeneic platelet-rich plasma compared with control.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of prophylactic application of negative pressure wound therapy in stopping surgical site wound problems for closed incisions in breast cancer surgery. A systematic literature search up to April 2022 was performed and 2223 women with closed incisions in breast cancer surgery at the baseline of the studies; 964 of them were using the prophylactic application of negative pressure wound therapy, and 1259 were using standard dressings. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of prophylactic application of negative pressure wound therapy in stopping surgical site wound problems for closed incisions in breast cancer surgery using the dichotomous method with a random or fixed-effect model. The prophylactic application of negative pressure wound therapy women had a significantly lower total wound problems (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.43-0.90, P = .01), lower surgical site wound infection (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.36-0.96, P = .03), lower wound dehiscence (OR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.39-0.75, P < .001) and lower wound necrosis (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.27-0.71, P < .001), in women with closed incisions in breast cancer surgery compared with standard dressings. However, prophylactic application of negative pressure wound therapy did not show any significant difference in wound seroma (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.32-1.65, P = .45), and hematoma (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.33-1.59, P = .001) compared with standard dressings in women with closed incisions in breast cancer surgery. The prophylactic application of negative pressure wound therapy women had a significantly lower total wound problems, surgical site wound infection, wound dehiscence, and wound necrosis and no significant difference in wound seroma, and hematoma compared with standard dressings in women with closed incisions in breast cancer surgery. The analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low sample size of 5 out of 12 studies in the meta-analysis and a low number of studies in certain comparisons.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of body mass index on surgical site wound infection, mortality, and postoperative hospital stay in subjects undergoing possibly curative surgery for colorectal cancer. A systematic literature search up to March 2022 was performed and 2247 subjects with possibly curative surgery for colorectal cancer at the baseline of the studies; 2889 of them were obese, and 9358 were non-obese. Odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of body mass index on surgical site wound infection, mortality, and postoperative hospital stay in subjects undergoing possibly curative surgery for colorectal cancer using the dichotomous or contentious methods with a random or fixed-effect model. The obese subjects had a significantly higher surgical site wound infection after colorectal surgery (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.62-2.15, P < .001), and higher mortality (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.07-2.32, P = .02) in subjects with possibly curative surgery for colorectal cancer compared with non-obese. However, obese did not show any significant difference in postoperative hospital stay (MD, 0.81; 95% CI, -0.030 to 1.92, P = .15) compared with non-obese in subjects with possibly curative surgery for colorectal cancer. The obese subjects had a significantly higher surgical site wound infection after colorectal surgery, higher mortality, and no significant difference in postoperative hospital stay compared with non-obese in subjects with possibly curative surgery for colorectal cancer. The analysis of outcomes should be with caution because of the low number of studies in certain comparisons.

Abstract
Obesity has been labeled as the global pandemic of the 21st century, resulting from a sedentary lifestyle and caloric excess. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by excessive hepatic steatosis, is strongly associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome and is estimated to be present in one-quarter of the world population, making it the most common cause of the chronic liver disease (CLD). NAFLD spectrum varies from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. The burden of NAFLD has been predicted to increase in the coming decades resulting in increased rates of decompensated cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver-related deaths. In the current review, we describe the pathophysiology of NAFLD and NASH, risk factors associated with disease progression, related complications, and mortality. Later, we have discussed the changing epidemiology of HCC, with NAFLD emerging as the most common cause of CLD and HCC. We have also addressed the risk factors of HCC development in the NAFLD population (including demographic, metabolic, genetic, dietary, and lifestyle factors), presentation of NAFLD-associated HCC, its prognosis, and the issue of HCC development in non-cirrhotic NAFLD. Lastly, the problems related to HCC screening in the NAFLD population, the remaining challenges, and future directions, especially the need to identify the high-risk individuals, will be discussed. We will conclude the review by summarizing the clinical evidence for treating fibrosis and preventing HCC in those at risk with NAFLD-associated HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The data on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients without liver cirrhosis is scarce. AIMS To study the epidemiology, underlying etiology and fibrosis distribution in noncirrhotic HCC and compare the survival outcomes to cirrhotic HCC. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study including all adult patients diagnosed with HCC at two US tertiary academic centers from 2000 to 2015. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the variables associated with patient survival. RESULTS Two thousand two hundred and thirty-seven HCC patients were included in the final analysis, of which, 13% had no liver cirrhosis. The most common underlying liver disease in non-cirrhotic patients was cryptogenic cause (40%), followed by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (25.2%) and hepatitis C (19%). The percentage of F0-F1, F2, and F3 was 72%, 17%, and 11% (cryptogenic cause); 69%, 12%, and 19% (NAFLD); 50%, 17%, and 33% (alcohol); 33%, 39%, and 28% (hepatitis B); 20%, 40%, and 40% (hemochromatosis); and 12%, 40%, and 48% (hepatitis C), respectively. In non-cirrhotic compared to cirrhotic patients, the tumor was more likely to be larger and fell outside Milan criteria (all p < 0.001). Cirrhotic patients had significant shorter survival than non-cirrhotic patients (p < 0.001). On the multivariable analysis, having liver cirrhosis (HR 1.48; 1.21-1.82, p < 0.001), combined viral hepatitis and alcohol use (HR 1.51; 1.23-1.88, p < 0.001), morbid obesity (HR 1.31; 1.01-1.69, p = 0.040) and underweight (HR 2.06; 1.27-3.34, p = 0.004) were associated with worse patient survival. CONCLUSIONS The fibrosis distribution in non-cirrhotic HCC differed among each etiology of liver diseases. Despite more advanced HCC, patients without cirrhosis had significantly longer survival than those with cirrhosis.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the influences of closed incisions in orthopaedic trauma surgery (OTS) by negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) compared with conventional dressings. A systematic literature search up to March 2022 was done and 14 studies included 3935 subjects with OTS at the start of the study; 2023 of them used NPWT and 1912 were conventional dressings. They were reporting relationships between the influences of closed incisions in OTS by NPWT compared with conventional dressings. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the influences of closed incisions in OTS by NPWT compared with conventional dressings using the dichotomous methods with a random or fixed-effect model. NPWT had significantly lower deep surgical site infections (SSIs) (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.48-0.87, P = .004), superficial SSIs (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.19-0.61, P < .001), and wound dehiscence (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.21-0.80, P = .009) compared with conventional dressings in subjects with closed incisions in OTS. NPWT showed a beneficial effect on deep SSIs, superficial SSIs, and wound dehiscence compared with conventional dressings in subjects with closed incisions in OTS. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of chitosan-based gel dressing on wound infection, synechia, and granulations after endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps. A systematic literature search until March 2022 incorporated 386 subjects after endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps at the beginning of the study; 187 were using chitosan-based gel dressing, and 199 were control. Statistical tools like the dichotomous method were used within a random or fixed-influence model to establish the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the influence of chitosan-based gel dressing on wound infection, synechia, and granulations after endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps. Chitosan-based gel dressing had significantly lower wound infection (OR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.25-0.92, P = 0.03), and synechia (OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.13-0.50, P < 0.001) compared with control in subjects with endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps. However, no significant difference was found in granulations between chitosan-based gel dressing and control in subjects with endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps. Chitosan-based gel dressing had significantly lower wound infection, synechia compared with control in subjects with endoscopic sinus surgery of nasal polyps, and no significant difference in granulations. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the potential relationship between hypertensive disease during pregnancy and placenta accreta. A systematic literature search in OVID, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Google scholar up to May 2021 was done, and 4 studies were found including 47,353 pregnant women at the start of the study; 4283 of them had hypertensive disease during pregnancy and 493 had placenta accreta. They were reporting relationships between hypertensive disease during pregnancy and placenta accreta. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to assess the potential relationship between hypertensive disease during pregnancy and placenta accreta using the dichotomous with a random or fixed-effect model. Hypertensive disease during pregnancy was significantly related to lower prevalence of placenta accreta (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, .38-.94, p = 0.03) compared with control (no hypertensive disease during pregnancy). When looking at the result comparing the prevalence of hypertensive disease during pregnancy in women with placenta accreta compared with control (no placenta accreta), we found that the placenta accreta was significantly related to lower prevalence of hypertensive disease during pregnancy (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.38-0.94, p = 0.03) compared with control. Hypertensive disease during pregnancy may have a lower prevalence of placenta accreta. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

The effect of different wound dressing materials used in postoperative treatment of wounds after total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty: A meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2022; 19:2107-2114. [PMID: 35470964 PMCID: PMC9705168 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.13816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
A meta‐analysis was performed to assess the effect of different wound dressing materials used in the postoperative treatment of wounds after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A systematic literature search up to January 2022 incorporated 16 trials involving 2765 subjects after THA or TKA at the beginning of the study: 1447 were using active and interactive dressings, and 1318 were using passive dressings. The statistical tools like the dichotomous or continuous method were used within a random or fixed‐influence model to establish the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the influence of different wound dressing materials used in postoperative treatment of wounds after THA and TKA. Active and interactive dressings had significantly lower overall wound complications (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.26–0.40, P < 0.001), number of dressing changes (MD, −1.53; 95% CI, −2.09 to −0.96, P < 0.001), and early dressing change need (OR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.04–0.47, P = 0.002) compared with passive dressings for subjects after THA and TKA. Active and interactive dressings had significantly lower overall wound complications, the number of dressing changes, and early dressing change need compared with passive dressings for subjects after THA and TKA. Furthermore, evidence is needed to confirm the outcomes.

Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed to assess the effect of surgical site wound infections and risk factors in neonates undergoing surgery. A systematic literature search up to January 2022 incorporated 17 trials involving 645 neonates who underwent surgery at the beginning of the trial; 198 of them had surgical site wound infections, and 447 were control for neonates. The statistical tools like the dichotomous or continuous method used within a random or fixed-influence model to establish the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the risk factors and influence of surgical site wound infections in neonates undergoing surgery. Surgical site wound infections had significantly higher mortality with OR value 2.03 at 95% CI 1.40-2.95 with P-value <0.001, the longer length of hospital stay (MD, 31.88; 95% CI, 18.17-45.59, P < 0.001), and lower birthweight of neonates (MD, -0.30; 95% CI, -0.53 to -0.07, P = 0.01) compared with neonates with no surgical site wound infections undergoing surgery. However, no remarkable change was observed with surgical site wound infections in the gestational age at birth of neonates (MD, -0.70; 95% CI, -1.46 to 0.05, P = 0.07), and the preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 0.57-2.87, P = 0.55) compared with no surgical site wound infections for neonates undergoing surgery. Surgical site wound infections had significantly higher mortality, a longer length of hospital stay, and lower birthweight of neonates. However, they had no statistically significant difference in the gestational age at birth of neonates and the preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis compared with no surgical site wound infections for neonates undergoing surgery. Furthermore, evidence is needed to confirm the outcomes.

Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the safety of benign prostatic hyperplasia wound after surgical removal in subjects on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy. A systematic literature search up to December 2021 was done and 19 studies included 5715 benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects at the start of the study; 1501 of them were on anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy, and 4214 were control. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the safety of benign prostatic hyperplasia wound after surgical removal in subjects on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy by the dichotomous or continuous methods with a random or fixed-influence model. Anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy had significantly higher bleeding complication (OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.36-2.60, P < .001), higher blood transfusion (OR, 2.15; 95% CI, 1.63-2.83, P < .001), lower operation time (MD, -3.53; 95% CI, -6.80-0.27, P = .03), higher catheterization time (MD, 0.30 95% CI, 0.06-0.53, P = .01), longer length of hospital stay (MD, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.37-1.26, P < .001) and higher thromboembolic events (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.26-6.62, P = .01) compared to control in benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects. Anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy had a significantly higher bleeding complication, higher blood transfusion, lower operation time, higher catheterization time, longer length of hospital stay and higher thromboembolic events compared to control in benign prostatic hyperplasia subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the potential effects of hypertension in pregnancy on the placenta accreta spectrum. METHODS A systematic literature search in OVID, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Google Scholar up to May 2021 was done, and six studies were found including 126,224 pregnant women; 7164 of them had hypertension in pregnancy and 816 had placenta accreta spectrum. They were reporting relationships between the potential effects of hypertension in pregnancy on the placenta accreta spectrum. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to assess the potential effects of hypertension in pregnancy on the placenta accreta spectrum using the dichotomous with a random- or fixed-effect model. RESULTS Pregnancy-induced hypertension was significantly related to lower prevalence of placenta accreta spectrum (OR 0.56; 95% CI 0.37-0.84, p = 0.005) with no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%) compared to control (no hypertension in pregnancy). When looking at the result comparing the prevalence of hypertension in pregnancy in women with placenta accrete compared to control (no placenta accrete), we found that the placenta accreta spectrum was significantly related to lower prevalence of hypertension in pregnancy (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.43-0.98, p = 0.04) compared to control. CONCLUSIONS Hypertension in pregnancy may have a lower prevalence of placenta accrete. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

A meta-analysis comparing efficiency of limb-salvage surgery vs amputation on patients with osteosarcoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Int Wound J 2022; 19:1616-1624. [PMID: 35122396 PMCID: PMC9615273 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.13758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteogenic sarcoma is the central malignant bone neoplasm affecting the bones of arms and legs and rarely the soft tissues outside the bones. Historically, amputation was the chief surgical technique; currently, the popular standard is limb salvage surgery (LSS), although both procedures' effect on 5‐year‐event survival, 5‐year disease‐free survival rates (DFS) and the local recurrence is uncertain. Therefore, this meta‐study aimed to establish the relationship between the effect of LSS and amputation in subjects with osteogenic carcinoma. A systematic survey till January 2021 to know the effect of LLS vs amputation with subjects treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy was conducted. Clinical studies were identified with 9760 subjects with osteosarcoma of the extremities at the beginning of the trial; 7095 of them were managed with limb salvage surgery and 2611 with amputation. This study tried to compare the effects of LSS vs amputation in subjects with osteogenic sarcoma in the extremities. The dichotomous method in statistical analysis was used as a tool for establishing odds ratio (OR) at a confidence interval of 95% (CI) to assess the efficiency of LSS and amputees with osteosarcoma of the extremities with a fixed or random‐effect model. Although patients with osteosarcoma of the extremities managed with LSS were significantly related to a higher local recurrence rate than those treated with amputation, they were also associated with higher 5‐year overall survival (OS) than amputation. Patients showed no significant difference in a 5‐year DFS rate between LSS vs amputation. The subjects who have undergone LSS for osteosarcoma of the extremities may have a higher risk of local recurrence than amputees. However, LSS may increase 5‐year OS compared to amputees. These results depict that local recurrence of osteosarcoma does not influence survival rate. However, more studies are needed to validate this finding.

[PMID: 34555422 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhep.2021.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 112] [Impact Index Per Article: 56.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In light of a global rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) represent an increasingly important underlying aetiology of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCCs arising from lipotoxicity-mediated chronic inflammation are characterised by several unique features: in contrast to virally driven HCC, up to 50% of NAFLD-HCC occurs in patients without cirrhosis and annual HCC incidence is comparatively low, complicating current surveillance strategies. On average, patients are older and are more frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. While locoregional treatments are probably equally effective regardless of HCC aetiology, the picture is less clear for systemic therapy. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are probably equally effective, while there have been initial signals that immune checkpoint inhibitors may be less effective in NAFLD-HCC than in viral HCC. Current international clinical practice guidelines for HCC do not consider aetiology, as there are insufficient data to draw specific conclusions or to recommend aetiology-specific modifications to the current management of patients with HCC. However, in light of the growing relevance of NAFLD-HCC, future clinical trials should assess whether HCC aetiology - and NAFLD/NASH in particular - influence the safety and efficacy of a given treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of the diet of nitrogen-free analogs of essential amino acids on chronic kidney disease deterioration. METHODS A systematic literature search up-to September 2021 was done and 14 studies included 1574 subjects with chronic kidney disease at the start of the study; 786 of them had the very low-protein diets supplemented with nitrogen-free analogs and 788 had the conventional low-protein diet. RESULTS Very low-protein diet supplemented with nitrogen-free analogs had significantly higher estimated glomerular filtration rate, lower serum creatinine, and lower blood urea nitrogen; however, it had no significant difference in serum albumin, serum cholesterol, serum phosphorous, serum calcium, and parathyroid hormone compared to conventional low-protein diet in subjects with chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSION The very low-protein diets supplemented with nitrogen-free analogs had significantly better kidney functions results compared to the conventional low-protein diets in subjects with chronic kidney disease. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Abstract
Background: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of hypertonic saline compared to mannitol for the management of elevated intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury.Methods: A systematic literature search up to July 2021 was performed and 17 studies included 1,392 subjects with traumatic brain injury at the start of the study; 708 of them were administered hypertonic saline and 684 were given mannitol. They were reporting relationships between the effects of hypertonic saline compared to mannitol for the management of elevated intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury. We calculated the odds ratio (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the effect of hypertonic saline compared to mannitol for the management of elevated intracranial pressure in traumatic brain injury using the dichotomous or continuous method with a random or fixed-effect model.Results: Hypertonic saline had significantly lower treatment failure (OR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.15–0.98, p = 0.04), lower intracranial pressure 30–60 mins after infusion termination (MD, −1.12; 95% CI, −2.11 to −0.12, p = 0.03), and higher cerebral perfusion pressure 30–60 mins after infusion termination (MD, 5.25; 95% CI, 3.59–6.91, p < 0.001) compared to mannitol in subjects with traumatic brain injury.However, hypertonic saline had no significant effect on favorable outcome (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.01–2.58, p = 0.05), mortality (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.34–1.02, p = 0.06), intracranial pressure 90–120 mins after infusion termination (MD, −0.90; 95% CI, −3.21–1.41, p = 0.45), cerebral perfusion pressure 90–120 mins after infusion termination (MD, 4.28; 95% CI, −0.16–8.72, p = 0.06), and duration of elevated intracranial pressure per day (MD, 2.20; 95% CI, −5.44–1.05, p = 0.18) compared to mannitol in subjects with traumatic brain injury.Conclusions: Hypertonic saline had significantly lower treatment failure, lower intracranial pressure 30–60 mins after infusion termination, and higher cerebral perfusion pressure 30–60 mins after infusion termination compared to mannitol in subjects with traumatic brain injury. However, hypertonic saline had no significant effect on the favorable outcome, mortality, intracranial pressure 90–120 mins after infusion termination, cerebral perfusion pressure 90–120 mins after infusion termination, and duration of elevated intracranial pressure per day compared to mannitol in subjects with traumatic brain injury. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Relationship between Change in Bone Mineral Density of Lumbar Spine and Risk of New Vertebral and Nonvertebral Fractures: A Meta-Analysis. Orthop Surg 2022; 14:199-206. [PMID: 34985187 PMCID: PMC8867431 DOI: 10.1111/os.13184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Studies have shown that the change in lumbar spine bone mineral density with different osteoporosis drugs had a beneficial effect on the frequency of new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in postmenopausal females, but their results were conflicting. This meta‐analysis was performed to evaluate this relationship. A systematic literature search up to May 2020 was performed and 20 studies with 73,390 postmenopausal females were included; of them, a total of 41,980 were treated with osteoporosis drugs and 31,410 with placebo. They reported relationships between the change in lumbar spine bone mineral density and the frequency of new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in postmenopausal females. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated comparing the osteoporosis drugs to placebo effect on the frequency of new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures in postmenopausal females using the dichotomous method with a random or fixed‐effect model. Treatment with osteoporosis drugs had significantly lower frequency of new vertebral fractures (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.45–0.63, P < 0.001) and nonvertebral fractures (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.78–0.87, P < 0.001) compared to placebo in postmenopausal females. Treatment with osteoporosis drugs had a significantly lower frequency of new vertebral and nonvertebral fractures compared to placebo in postmenopausal females. This relationship forces us to recommend osteoporosis drugs in postmenopausal females to avoid any possible new fractures. A cost‐effective study is recommended.

Abstract
Background: A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of smartphone interventions on the anxiety of the pediatric subjects at induction on the day of surgery compared to oral midazolam or standard care as control. Methods: A systematic literature search up to June 2021 was performed and nine studies selected 785 pediatric subjects on the day of surgery at the start of the study; 390 of them were using smartphone interventions, 192 were control, and 203 were using oral midazolam. They were reporting relationships between the effects of smartphone interventions on the anxiety of the pediatric subjects at induction on the day of surgery compared to oral midazolam or control. The mean difference (MD) with its 95% CIs was calculated to assess the effect of smartphone interventions on the anxiety of the pediatric subjects at induction on the day of surgery compared to oral midazolam or control using the continuous method with a fixed or a random-effects model. Results: Smartphone interventions in pediatric subjects were significantly related to lower anxiety at induction on the day of surgery (MD, -19.74; 95% CI, -29.87 to -9.61, p < 0.001) compared to control and significantly related to lower anxiety at induction on the day of surgery (MD, -7.81; 95% CI, -14.49 to -1.14, p = 0.02) compared to oral midazolam. Conclusion: Smartphone interventions in pediatric subjects on the day of surgery may have lower anxiety at induction compared to control and oral midazolam. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS This meta-analysis aimed to assess antipsychotic and placebo effects in patients with schizophrenia at the level of symptom factors. METHODS A systematic literature search up to June 2020 was undertaken and 62 studies were included, with 23,478 patients with schizophrenia at the study baseline point. We calculated mean differences with 95% confidence intervals. The comparison was made according to the study content using a continuous method with a random-effects model. RESULTS Patients with schizophrenia treated by antipsychotic drugs had a significantly lower psychiatric rating scale total score; lower clinical global impression of severity; lower positive and negative syndrome scale; and lower assessment of negative symptoms total score, when compared to placebo treated patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients with schizophrenia treated with an antipsychotic drug show a much greater improvement and lower inconsistency in the level of symptom factors when compared to the effects of placebo. Our findings evidence for a comparatively homogeneous outcome of the antipsychotic-treatment in improving schizophrenia symptoms. This opposes the notion of the presence of patient sub-groups with treatment non-responsive schizophrenia.
