Forty-two trials were included for analysis. The network meta-analysis of pain showed that hylan G-F 20 may be equivalent to IACS in the short-term, but by 6 months the benefit relative to IACS was statistically significant, standardized mean difference (95% credible interval) -0.13 (-0.26, -0.01). There were no statistical differences in adverse events.

Hylan G-F 20 may perform better in relieving pain at 6 months post-injection compared to IACS. Both agents were relatively well tolerated, with no clear differences in safety.

We assessed whether social inequalities in smoking observed among young adults born in Canada were also apparent in same-age immigrants.

Data were drawn from an investigation of social inequalities in smoking conducted in an urban setting (Montreal, Canada). The sample included 2077 young adults age 18 to 25 (56.6% female; 18.9% immigrants who had lived in Canada 11.6 (SD 6.4) years on average). The association between education and current smoking was examined in multivariable logistic regression analyses conducted separately in young adults born in Canada and in immigrants.

About 19.5% of immigrants were current smokers compared to 23.8% of young adults born in Canada. In immigrants, relative to those with university education, the adjusted odds ratios (OR) (95% confidence interval) for current smoking were 1.2 (0.6, 2.3) among those with pre-university/vocational training and 1.5 (0.7, 2.9) among those with high school education. In non-immigrants, the adjusted ORs were 1.9 (1.4, 2.5) among those with pre-university/vocational training and 4.0 (2.9, 5.5) among those with high school.

Young adults who had immigrated to Canada did not manifest the strong social gradient in smoking apparent in young adults born in Canada. Increased understanding of the underpinnings of this difference could inform development of interventions that aim to reduce social inequalities in smoking.

The attributional style of clinical workers will affect their emotion and behavior and affect how they deal with the relationship with patients. Current tools lack clinical events and are not suitable for measuring the attributional style of doctor. In this study, the development of the Doctor's Attributional Style Questionnaire (DASQ) is presented.

In study 1, based on the previous literature and the open-ended questionnaire, the theoretical structure of DASQ was constructed. In study 2, items analysis and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were conducted in the sample (n=559) to select the best items for the DASQ. In study 3, the internal structure of the DASQ was tested in the sample (n=740) via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and 218 doctors were retested four weeks later.

There are 24 items in the scale, including positive events questionnaire and negative events questionnaire, all of which are composed of four dimensions controllability, globality, stability, and internality. The fitting degree of each questionnaire model is good, and all indexes are above 0.9. The internal consistency coefficient and retest coefficient of both the positive events questionnaire and the negative events questionnaire were above 0.75.

The DASQ meets the requirements of measurement and can be used to measure the attributional style of doctors.

We aimed to compare the imaging features of gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTNs) and benign pregnancy-related uterine diseases on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to explore the clinical value of CEUS in differentiating these two types of uterine lesions.

In this prospective study, patients with GTNs before and after chemotherapy and benign pregnancy-related uterine lesions received conventional US and CEUS. The imaging features and parameters of CEUS of the lesions were assessed.

A total of 73 patients were enrolled in this study, including 48 with GTNs and 25 with benign lesions. The enhancement pattern of newly diagnosed GTNs was mainly diffuse enhancement (70.8%), with a non-enhanced area of less than 1/3 of the entire lesion. For the benign group, the enhancement pattern was mainly ring-shaped enhancement (72.0%), and the non-enhanced area was more than 1/2 (68.0%), significantly different from that of GTNs (

= 0.000 and 0.002, respectively). Forty-one lesions demonstrated unclear boundaries on greyscale US but clearly displayed on CEUS. In both the benign and malignant groups, the measurements of lesion size on CEUS were larger than those on greyscale US (

= 0.000). The measurement differences (ΔD D2-D1) of the malignant cases were higher than those of the benign cases (

= 0.001).

GTNs and benign pregnancy-related uterine diseases have different imaging characteristics on CEUS. The boundary and involved range of the lesion can be clearly demonstrated on CEUS. CEUS possesses clinical value in diagnosing and evaluating GTNs and benign pregnancy-related diseases.

The macronutrient composition of diets, in particular the amount and ratio of carbohydrates, fat and protein, have received considerable attention in recent decades due to its potential relevance to the development of obesity and weight loss. Zotatifin The effects of various macronutrients on body weight regulation are still under debate. High-carbohydrate diets, and particularly high-fat diets, have been blamed for the increase in the prevalence of obesity. This paper shows that neither fat nor carbohydrates are fattening per se. Mixed diets with substantial amounts of fat and high-glycemic carbohydrates, like current WDs, are required to promote weight gain and obesity. High-glycemic carbohydrates are the active partner (the "driver"), which promotes fat storage through its insulinogenic effect, while fat is the passive partner (the "passenger") on the way to obesity. Elevated insulin levels (postprandial, but more importantly due to hypersecretion and hyperinsulinemia) promote fat storage and play a key role in obesogenesis and the obesity epidemic.
