الوصف: To evaluate the effect and safety of acupuncture therapy on patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis.A non-randomized controlled design was used to compare between the acupuncture group and the medication group. The acupuncture group received 8-week acupuncture therapy, and the medication group received budesonide nasal spray with cetirizine tablets for 8 weeks. The clinical symptoms and signs were analyzed before treatment, at 4 and 8 weeks after the start of treatment, and at 12 weeks after the end of treatment. Furthermore, the clinical efficacy and safety indicators were compared between the two groups.A total of 76 participants consisting of 38 in each of the two groups were enrolled. The scores of each clinical symptom and sign, including sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, nasal itching, and turbinate edema, and the total scores decreased over time in both groups (all P0.05); and no difference was found in the scores between the two groups (P0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the effective rates of the acupuncture group at 4 and 8 weeks after the start of treatment as well as at 12-week follow-up compared with those of the medication group (83.3% vs. 91.2%, and 94.4 % vs. 85.3%; and 80.6 % vs. 82.4%, all P0.05). Experimental items including blood routine, urine routine, aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransferase, urea nitrogen and creatinine were all in the normal reference ranges during the treatment in the acupuncture group.Acupuncture therapy has a comparable effect to the medication treatment on patients with moderate to severe allergic rhinitis, and it is safe with no severe adverse effects.

الوصف: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral oxymatrine preparation for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on oral oxymatrine preparation in treating patients with CHB were retrieved until October 2013 by searching PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase and four Chinese databases, irrespective of language and publication status. Data extraction and data analyses were conducted according to the Cochrane standards. The risk of bias for each included trials and the quality of evidence on pre-specified outcomes were assessed. The RevMan software was used for statistical analyses.Totally 52 RCTs enrolling 5,227 participants were included, of which 51 RCTs were included in meta-analyses. Oral oxymatrine preparation including oxymatrine capsule and oxymatrine tablet were associated with statistically significant effect on the clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, HBV surface antigen and HBV e antigen, and were beneficial to the normalization of serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Nevertheless, the overall methodological quality and the quality of evidence in the included trials were poor. In addition, safety of oral oxymatrine preparation was not confirmed.Oral oxymatrine preparation showed some potential benefits for patients with CHB. However, the overall quality of evidence was limited and the safety of oral oxymatrine preparation for CHB patients was still unproven. More high quality evidence from rigorously designed RCTs is warranted to support the clinical use of oral oxymatrine preparation for patients with CHB.
