“…Acupuncture has been demonstrated to effectively relieving common symptoms in supportive and palliative care, including, anxiety disorders, nausea, insomnia, leukopenia, fatigue as well as vomiting,[ 23 24 25 26 27 ] which might also effectively treat abdominal pain and abdominal distension. [ 28 29 ] Coyle et al [30] have proposed that acupuncture is an effective therapeutic approach for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated breathlessness. Possible related symptoms of COVID-19 treated with acupuncture include anxiety disorder, insomnia, leucopenia, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and abdominal distension, breathlessness.…”

Background: There is a worldwide outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), at present, accumulative attention has been paid to COVID-19 due to its global prevalence. Acupuncture may play a beneficial role in patients who suffer from COVID-19. In China and East Asia, acupuncture has been widely used to treat diverse diseases for thousands of years, as an important method of treatment now, it plays an indispensable role in the treatment of respiratory diseases in China. This study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in COVID-19. Methods: We will search the following sources for the Randomized controlled trials (RCT): The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Database (CNKI), Chinese Science, and the Wanfang Database. All the above databases will be searched from the available date of inception until the latest issue. No language or publication restriction will be used. Primary outcomes will include chest CT and nucleic acid detection of respiratory samples. Results: The results will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence for researchers in this subject area. Conclusion: The conclusion of our study will provide evidence to evaluate whether acupuncture is an effective treatments for patients suffering from COVID-19. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020180875.

“…Infected pancreatic pseudocysts have been reported as a complication of chronic pancreatitis[ 10 ]. Surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis with infected pancreatic pseudocysts could be even more complicated by severe adhesions and inflammation, which more frequently leads to postoperative complications[ 11 ].…”

BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis occasionally requires surgical treatment that can be performed with various techniques. Often, this type of surgery presents with postoperative complications. We report a case of a successful retrograde pancreatojejunostomy for chronic pancreatitis and infected pancreatic cysts. CASE SUMMARY A 62-year-old male with a 10-year history of chronic pancreatitis presented with epigastric pain for one week and a 20 kg weight loss over one year. Computed tomography showed stones in the pancreas (mainly the head), expansion of the main pancreatic duct, and thinning of the pancreatic parenchyma. Magnetic resonance imaging showed infected pancreatic cysts connected to the stomach with a fistula from the splenic hilum to the caudal portion of the liver’s lateral segment. An endoscopic retrograde pancreatography was performed; the guide wires could not pass through the stones in the pancreas and therefore, drainage of the main pancreatic duct was not achieved. Next, a distal pancreatomy and splenectomy were performed; however, the pancreatic juice in the remaining parenchyma was blocked by the stones. Hence, we performed a retrograde pancreatojejunostomy and Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The patient had no postoperative complications and was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 14. CONCLUSION A distal pancreatomy, retrograde pancreatojejunostomy, and Roux-en-Y anastomosis could be an effective surgical procedure for intractable chronic pancreatitis.

“…The mortality of AP is about 3 to 6% but may reach 10% to 30% in severe cases [4]. The common AP complications, include systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), infectious pancreatic necrosis, septicemia, and abdominal compartment syndrome [5][6][7]. Despite the rapid development of diagnosis techniques, and management methods for AP, the mortality rate related to the disease is still high [8,9].…”

Background Dachaihu Decoction (DCD) is a traditional herbal formula widely used for treating acute pancreatitis (AP) in China. However, the efficacy and safety of DCD has never been validated, limiting its application. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of DCD for AP treatment. Methods Relevant randomized controlled trials of DCD in treating AP will be searched through Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and Chinese Biological Medicine Literature Service System database. Only studies published between the inception of the databases and May 31, 2023 shall be considered. Searches will also be performed in the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Preprint databases and grey literature sources such as OpenGrey, British Library Inside, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global, and BIOSIS preview will also be searched for relevant resources. The primary outcomes to be assessed will include mortality rate, rate of surgical intervention, proportion of patients with severe acute pancreatitis transferred to ICU, gastrointestinal symptoms, and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II score. Secondary outcomes will include systemic complications, local complications, the normalization period of C-reactive protein, length of stay in the hospital, TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 levels, and adverse events. Study selection, data extraction, and assessment of bias risk will be conducted independently by two reviewers using the Endnote X9 and Microsoft Office Excel 2016 software. The risk of bias of included studies will be assessed by the Cochrane "risk of bias” tool. Data analysis will be performed using the RevMan software (V.5.3). Subgroup and sensitivity analysis will be performed where necessary. Results This study will provide high-quality current evidence of DCD for treating AP. Conclusion This systematic review will provide evidence of whether DCD is an effective and safe therapy for treating AP. Trial registration PROSPERO registration number CRD42021245735. The protocol for this study was registered at PROSPERO, and is available in the S1 Appendix. https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42021245735.
