OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the efficacy and safety of silver sulfadiazine ointment in local treatment of burn. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and other databases were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled study with silver sulfadiazine ointment in local treatment of burn ( intervention with silver sulfadiazine and control with other materials). The retrieval time was from Jan. 1st, 2010 to Jun. 1st, 2022. For the included randomized controlled studies, Cochrane bias risk assessment tool was used to evaluate study quality, and RevMan 5. 3 software was used for Meta-analysis to compare the wound healing time and infection rate of burn treated by silver sulfadiazine and other materials. RESULTS: Totally 11 studies were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with other materials, silver sulfadiazine could not shorten the wound healing time of burn, and the difference was not statistically significant (MD= -0. 31,95%CI = -2. 89-2. 26,P = 0. 81). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in the infection rate between silver sulfadiazine group and other materials group (18. 09% vs. 14. 81%, P>0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: Based on current clinical studies, silver sulfadiazine has shown worse effect on wound healing in burn than other materials. No differences are observed between silver sulfadiazine and other materials in the prevention of infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ascites is the most frequent decompensating event of cirrhosis. At present, ascites recurs at a high rate due to lack of effective management strategy and is frequently complicated with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, and liver failure, which increase the fatality rate. Albumin treatment for hepatocirrhosic ascites has a long history, but it is limited as an acute or short-term treatment. In contrast, long-term albumin administration represents a completely different treatment paradigm. Results from several recent clinical studies indicate that long-term albumin treatment can be able to modify the disease courses of some decompensated cirrhosis when albumin is given at a sufficient dose for a sufficient time. In this review, we analyze the available data acquired from long-term albumin treatments, trying to establish a secure and effective management scheme involving maximal target population, albumin dose, administration time, and standards for albumin withdrawal, and thus provide references for the clinical practice.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of the microporous drain packing fixation method with the traditional drain strip drainage subcutaneous suture fixation method in the radical treatment of osmidrosis with a small incision. Methods The clinical data of 66 cases of axillary odor patients from January 2018 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into the observation group (30 cases) and the control group (36 cases) according to the surgical method. The control group adopted the method of subcutaneous suture fixation with drain strip drainage, and the observation group adopted the method of packing fixation with microporous drainage. The efficacy, satisfaction and postoperative complications of the two groups were observed after surgery. Results At 3 months postoperatively, the difference in the apparent rate between the control group and the observation group was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The incidence of subcutaneous hematoma, flap necrosis and incision edge necrosis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the difference in the incidence of other complications was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In addition, patients in the observation group were more satisfied with the treatment results, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The effect of microporous drainage packing fixation in the radical operation of axillary osmidrosis with small incision is better, with fewer complications and higher patient satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Taking the crisis response of Xiamen University library during and after the period of Anti-Japanese War as the research object, this paper traces back the historical event of Xiamen University library's relocation to Changting County through the review of the process of relocation, the development in Changting and the successful demobilization to Xiamen. It then summarizes and analyzes a series of measures and explores the way of emergency management as well. The relocation to Changting County is a successful case of crisis response, which provides much valuable experience for the responses to the COVID-19 epidemic, including the formulation of emergency plans, the development of emergency services and the concern of humanistic emergency care. It also provides the university libraries beneficial reference of emergency management in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: Rice is the staple food of about half of the world's population, and the dependence of Asian staple food on rice exceeds 90%. There are varying degrees of arsenic (As) pollution all over the world. As can accumulate in rice and enter the human body, causing health problems. OBJECTIVES: To reveal the mechanism of As absorption in rice. METHODS: The content and species characteristics of As absorbed by rice and the species analysis techniques were reviewed. The mechanisms of As absorption, tolerance and detoxification by rice were summarized. RESULTS: The content of As in rice ranged from a few to several hundred ng/g. The process of As entering the rice from the soil involved complex physical and chemical changes and species transformation. Arsenic mainly existed in the form of arsenate, arsenite, thiol and methyl coordination in rice. Field water management, fertilization and soil amendments controlled the absorption of As in rice. Each technique had their advantages and disadvantages. Soil pH, redox conditions, organic matter and coexisting elements were the key factors affecting As absorption by rice. Agronomic methods can control the absorption of As by rice. Many factors such as arsenic biogeochemistry and the absorption and metabolism of arsenic in rice agroecosystems affect the concentration of arsenic in rice and grain. Comprehensive consideration of the effects of agronomic activities on soil pH, redox conditions, organic matter structure and coexisting elements, and different geographic factors such as soil characteristics and economic factors were the keys to realize the control of arsenic absorption by rice in production practice. CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive use of multiple agronomic methods for rice farming is an important way to control the absorption of arsenic in rice in the future. Application of new agronomic methods in the control of arsenic absorption by rice, the impact of climate change on arsenic absorption by rice, and application of non-destructive in situ and in vivo analysis techniques for As speciation analysis, are keys for more scientifically and effectively controlling the arsenic content in rice and reducing the risk of human As exposure on the global scale in the future. These are also the key development directions and challenges in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
