Article Abstract
Background: Hidden blood loss (HBL) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) would lead to many undesirable consequences. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is now increasingly used for hidden blood loss. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the effect and safety of TCM treatment of HBL after THA.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, WanFang, and CBM for the updated articles published from the inception of each database to May, 2022, among which results such as abstracts, comments, letters, reviews, and case reports were excluded. The efficacy and safety of TCM treatment of HBL after THA were synthesized and discussed by the outcomes of total blood loss (TBL), hidden blood loss (HBL), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (HCT), and the incidence of adverse reactions.
Results: A total of 12 articles and 881 patients were included. There were 441 cases in the intervention group and 440 cases in the control group. Compared with the control group, the intervention group had more advantages in TBL (MD = -251.68, 95% CI = [-378.36, -125]; = 3.89, < 0.00001), HBL (MD = -159.64, 95% CI = [-252.56, -66.71]; = 3.37, =0.0008), Hb (MD = 11.39, 95% CI = [7.35, 15.43]; = 5.53, < 0.00001), and HCT (MD = 2.87, 95% CI = [0.97, 4.78]; = 2.95, =0.003), and had less incidence of adverse reactions (OR = -0.20, 95% CI = [-0.35, -0.05]; = 2.64, =0.008).
Conclusion: TCM has advantages in the efficacy and safety of treating hidden blood loss after THA. The strength of the evidence of the research results is limited by the quality of the included literature, and more high-quality RCTs are needed to confirm.

The role of neutrophils in vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: Is it time for a SAH clinical trial targeting neutrophils?
J Cereb Blood Flow Metab

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating neurological disease, and one of the primary drivers of morbidity after aneurysm rupture is the phenomenon of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). Significant knowledge has been gained over the past two decades of the impact of neuroinflammation in DCI; and neutrophils are now believed to play a major role. There is significant human subject data showing the rise of neutrophil related inflammatory markers and neutrophil's association with poor outcome after aSAH, but as of yet no trials involving human subjects have been done specifically targeting neutrophils.

Central nervous system tumors with BCL6 corepressor (BCOR) internal tandem duplications (ITDs) constitute a rare, recently characterized pediatric neoplasm with distinct molecular and histopathological features. To date, 69 cases have been documented in the literature, including our institutional case. These neoplasms predominantly occur in young children, with the cerebellum representing the most frequent anatomical location.

: The therapeutic potential of vegetarian diets in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remains understudied in Asian populations. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a culturally adapted 6-month lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet (LOV-D) on hepatic steatosis and cardiometabolic risk factors through weight loss. : In this randomized trial, 220 Chinese adults with MASLD were assigned to LOV-D ( = 110) or an omnivore diet ( = 110) for 6 months.

Background: Viscoelastic haemostatic assays (VHAs) guide transfusion decisions in bleeding patients. We assessed testing volumes, clinical indications and patient characteristics in a statewide population in Australia.
Methods: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) or thromboelastography (TEG) across Queensland Health hospitals (1 January 2019 to 15 April 2025), using data from AUSLAB, the statewide laboratory information system and surveyed all hospitals for VHA device availability.
Preoperative embolization improves local control and modulates gene expression in atypical WHO grade 2 meningioma.

Background: Preoperative embolization is hypothesized to reduce blood loss and operative time for meningioma resection, but the impact of preoperative embolization on long-term oncological outcomes and molecular features of meningiomas is incompletely understood. Here we investigate how preoperative embolization influences perioperative and long-term outcomes and molecular features of atypical WHO grade 2 meningiomas.
Methods: Patients who underwent resection of WHO grade 2 meningiomas from 1997 to 2021 were retrospectively identified from an institutional database.
