Background Sinusitis is a common condition worldwide, significantly affecting the quality of life of patients. Due to the limitations of conventional medicines, such as serious side effects and low efficacies, Gelomyrtol may be a promising treatment for sinusitis. As no related systematic review has been published, the purpose of this study will be to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Gelomyrtol for acute or chronic sinusitis. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the Wan Fang Database, and the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science, and Technology Periodical Database will be searched from their commencement until July 2020. Randomized controlled trials of Gelomyrtol for acute or chronic sinusitis will be selected in any language. selleckchem Primary outcomes will include the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22) score, quality of life score as measured by SF-36, and the change in computed tomography (CT) score. Study selection, data extraction, and deviation risk assessment will be carried out by 2 investigators independently. RevMan V.5.3 software will be used to analyze the study data. Results The study will provide high-quality evidence for estimating the efficacy and safety of Gelomyrtol in the treatment of acute or chronic sinusitis. Conclusions This systematic review will explore whether Gelomyrtol is an effective and safe intervention in the treatment of acute or chronic sinusitis. Ethics and dissemination As no patient data will be used in this study, ethical approval will not be required. The review will be published as an article or a conference presentation in a peer-reviewed journal. Registration OSF registration number DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/MTEU2.Background The clinical effects and safety over the treatment of tibia intercondylar eminence fracture (TIEF) with cannulated screw and suture fixation were evaluated under arthroscope systematically, providing evidence-based medical support for the selection of surgical methods in terms of minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment for TIEF. Methods The English databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, SinoMed, VIP, and Wanfang databases were searched by computer. The randomized controlled trials were conducted to compare the clinical effects of TIEF with cannulated screw and suture fixation under arthroscope. The retrieval period is from the beginning of database building to January 2020. There is no language restriction. Chinese databases are searched by keywords, while English databases are searched by the combination of subject words and free words. According to the retrieval strategy, the two evaluators will lead the conforming documents into Note Express for repeated literature screening, andtreatment of tibial eminence fracture between cannulated screw fixation and suture fixation under arthroscopy, and to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of the two fixation methods utilizing meta-analysis and comparison of related outcome indicators. Through this study, we will draw a positive conclusion, which will provide a basis for the better treatment of tibial eminence fracture. Prospero registration number PROSPERO CRD42020168433.There is currently a global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and its epidemic characteristics in the areas where the outbreak has been successfully controlled are rarely reported.Describe the epidemic characteristics of COVID-19 in Jingmen, Hubei, introduce the local prevention and control experience, and observe the impact of various prevention and control measures on the number of new cases.All the COVID-19 patients diagnosed in the municipal districts of Jingmen from January 12 to February 29, 2020 were enrolled in this study. We described epidemiological data and observed the impact of control measures on the epidemic.Of the 219 cases (110 men and 109 women), 88 (40%) had exposure to Wuhan. The median age was 48 years (range, 2-88 years; IQR, 35-60). Thirty-three severe patients with a median age of 66 years (range, 33-82 years, IQR, 57-76) were treated in intensive care units; out of these patients, 66.7% (22) were men and 19 (57.5%) had chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, stroke, and renal insufficiency. Under the control measures, the number of new patients gradually decreased and nearly disappeared after 18 days. Wearing masks in all kinds of situations prevents most infections and is one of the most effective prevention and control measures.In conclusion, all people are susceptible to COVID-19, and older males and those with comorbid conditions are more likely to become severe cases. Even though COVID-19 is highly contagious, control measures have proven to be very effective, particularly wearing masks, which could prevent most infections.Pediatricians are unfamiliar with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) because of its rarity and paucity of available data, potentially leading to misdiagnosis, late treatments, and mortality. The main purpose of this study was to summarize the clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination findings of four children with CGD confirmed by genetic testing.This was a case series study of children hospitalized at the Pediatric Respiratory Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital. The clinical, laboratory, treatment, and prognosis data were analyzed.All 4 children were boys. Two were brothers. The children's age was from 34 days to 3 years and 2 months at disease onset. The manifestations were repeated pulmonary infection, lymphadenitis, skin infection, and granuloma formation. Pulmonary infections were common. Abnormal responses were common after BCG vaccination. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) mainly showed nodules and masses, while the consolidation area in CT images reduced slowly. No abnormalities in cellular immune functions and immunoglobulin were found. The disease in all four children was confirmed by genetic testing. Long-term antibiotics and anti-fungal drugs were needed to prevent bacterial and fungal infections.CGD should be considered in children with repeated severe bacterial and fungal infections. Abnormal responses after BCG vaccination and nodular or mass-shaped consolidation in thoracic CT images should hint toward CGD. Gene sequencing could provide molecular evidence for diagnosis. The treatments of CGD include the prevention and treatment of infections and complications. Immunologic reconstitution treatment is currently the only curative treatment for CGD.
