The relationship between pregnancy stress and mental health of the pregnant women: the bidirectional chain mediation roles of mindfulness and peace of mind.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pregnancy stress and mental health of the pregnant women, employing a positive psychology perspective. Specifically, the study sought to explore how the two positive psychological qualities of mindfulness and peace of mind may serve as potential mediators in the association between pregnancy stress and mental health of the pregnant women. Seven hundreds and thirteen pregnant women seeking care at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University were included in this study. The participants completed a self-report demographic questionnaire, as well as several validated scales including the Pregnancy Pressure Scale (PPS), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Peace of Mind Scale (PoMS), and Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ). The Amos 23.0 system was utilized to construct structural equation models. A total of 713 participants had an average age of 29.46 ± 4.81 years and an average gestational age of 24.26 ± 22.66 weeks. Out of the pregnant women, 163 (22.9%) experienced moderate or higher levels of pregnancy stress (PPS > 1), while 212 (29.7%) exhibited mental distress (CHQ > 3). Pregnancy stress exhibited a positive association with mental distress, while displaying negative associations with mindfulness and peace of mind. Mindfulness and peace of mind were negatively associated with mental distress. By employing structural equation modeling, the analysis revealed that mindfulness and peace of mind acted as partial mediators in the relationship between pregnancy stress and mental health. Furthermore, the identified models exhibited bidirectional sequential mediating pathways, suggesting that the pathways of mindfulness ↔ peace of mind mitigated the harmful influence of pregnancy stress on the mental health of pregnant women. This study adds to the current body of knowledge by investigating the relationships among mindfulness, peace of mind, pregnancy stress, and mental health in pregnant women. From a positive psychology framework, it provides valuable understanding of the intricate dynamics between pregnancy stress and protective factors of mental health. Consequently, interventions aimed at bolstering positive psychological qualities in pregnant women should prioritize the cultivation of mindfulness to foster peace of mind, or alternatively, the cultivation of peace of mind to enhance mindfulness, ultimately leading to improved mental health outcomes.

Plato, Socrates, and Confederate Monuments

AbstractWhat is the best way to respond to monuments in our communities if they represent people who stood for harmful ideas and/or societal structures? I start with the assumption that it would be best for everyone if all of the harmful monuments were removed from our public squares. The more interesting question is: Why would it be best? I will examine critically two different explanations as to why it would be best: one, Plato's, which rests on the harmful non-intellectual influences of images and the other, Socrates’, which rests on the harmful intellectual influences of those images. In the end, I shall argue that Socrates got it right and Plato wrong due to the former's ability to explain human behaviour and the latter's surprising lack of that same ability, despite how widely it is believed. If the argument is correct, it will have deep and widespread implications for how we educate our children and ourselves about every important aspect of the human condition.

The authors based on content analysis (in the context of historical, socio-cultural and political situation, etc.) of the texts published in the "thaw" period of the "Soviet Screen" magazine (1986-1991). ), the authors concluded that the materials on the subject of Western cinema at this stage can be divided into the following genres: ideologized articles emphasizing criticism of bourgeois cinema and its harmful influence on the audience (1986-1987); articles on the history of Western cinema; biographies and creative portraits of Western actors and directors; interviews with Western filmmakers; reviews of Western films; articles on international film festivals and foreign film weeks in the USSR; reviews of the current repertoire of Western national cinemas.

Психологическое консультирование и коучинг как виды социально-психологической помощи

Background. In recent decades, practical psychology has been rapidly developing in the country. The market offers a wide variety of psychological services, while the problem of psychological security, distinguishing scientifically based practices from harmful influences, becomes especially relevant. This article is devoted to the scientific justification of counseling and coaching as types of socio-psychological assistance. Objective. The goal is to analyze and correlate the theoretical foundations and practice of psychological counseling and coaching. The article is aimed at studying the origins of these areas of practice and identifying the subject matter, goals and features of technologies of socio-psychological counseling and socio-psychological coaching. Results. Socio-psychological counseling and coaching are defined as professional activities aimed at helping a client solve his personal, interpersonal, group and organizational problems based on personal and social resources. The purpose of socio-psychological counseling is to increase the effectiveness of the client's interaction with oneself, with the environment and organizations. The purpose of socio-psychological coaching is to create effective ways to resolve subjectively significant situations of social interaction that lead to positive changes in the client's life and personality. Socio-psychological counseling and coaching allow one to help the client by developing socio-psychological competence. Conclusions. Socio-psychological counseling and socio-psychological coaching have their own subject, theoretical and methodological basis and represent types of psychological practice. Developing and borrowing methods and fields of application from each other, consulting and coaching are increasingly converging, sometimes to the point of blurring the differences completely. In the market of psychological services, counseling and coaching exist as separate professions and act as different services for clients.

JAPANESE GARDENS: FROM THE MIDDLE AGES TO PUBLIC SPACES OF THE MEIJI ERA

Gardens in Japan appeared in the 7th century AD and were formed in accordance with Chinese geomantic ideas. They were not intended for aesthetic admiration and had primarily a utilitarian function: protecting the owner of the house from harmful environmental influences (evil spirits). This function was ensured by the “correct” arrangement of stones and the “correct” arrangement of water flows. These rules were formulated in the first treatise on garden art that has come down to us, “Sakuteiki” (“Records on the Arrangement of Gardens”), which was written by Tachibana no Toshitsuna (1028–1094). To avoid curse from other people, the garden plan was kept secret and known only to the owner. During the Tokugawa period (1603–1867), princes (daimyo) began to establish huge gardens, which served as an indicator of their power. Strangers were not allowed inside, but these gardens acquired an aesthetic function, as demonstrated by the example of the Rikugien Garden in Edo. After the Meiji Revolution, the class organization of society was abolished and the goal of creating a unified Japanese nation was posed. The establishment of gardens of a new public (Western) type was supposed to serve to attain this goal. All types of former gardens were models of ideal nature; public gardens were designed to model state values. Using the example of the Ueno Garden, it is shown that public gardens were a specific space where the authorities demonstrated to the Japanese the value picture of a “modern” imperial-type state.

Roles of extracellular vesicles derived from healthy and obese adipose tissue in inter-organ crosstalk and potential clinical implication.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanovesicles containing bioactive molecules including proteins, nucleic acids and lipids that mediate intercellular and inter-organ communications, holding promise as potential therapeutics for multiple diseases. Adipose tissue (AT) serves as a dynamically distributed energy storage organ throughout the body, whose accumulation leads to obesity, a condition characterized by infiltration with abundant immune cells. Emerging evidence has illustrated that EVs secreted by AT are the novel class of adipokines that regulate the homeostasis between AT and peripheral organs. However, most of the studies focused on the investigations of EVs derived from adipocytes or adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), the summarization of functions in cellular and inter-organ crosstalk of EVs directly derived from adipose tissue (AT-EVs) are still limited. Here, we provide a systemic summary on the key components and functions of EVs derived from healthy adipose tissue, showing their significance on the tissue recovery and metabolic homeostasis regulation. Also, we discuss the harmful influences of EVs derived from obese adipose tissue on the distal organs. Furthermore, we elucidate the potential applications and constraints of EVs from healthy patients lipoaspirates as therapeutic agents, highlighting the potential of AT-EVs as a valuable biological material with broad prospects for future clinical use.

Machine Learning for Fake News Detection Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak has required some health and financial decisions to be made in an unwieldy manner. This has spread uncertainty and lies all over the world. The transmission of false information has been compounded by the problems with fake news. Manyof them gave up on newspapers, magazines, and other print media in favorof Internetpleasure. Online entertainment has become the primary news source for a sizable percentage of the population due to its ease of access, low cost, and rapid spread. In some circumstances, bogus information spreads faster than true information togain popularity over internet entertainment and divert people from the underlying issues. People spread false information using online entertainment for commercial and political benefit. To avoid a harmful influence on society, it is critical to immediately recognizebogus information in all systems. To demonstrate the efficiency of the grouping on the dataset, we produced and tested numerous AI computations independently for this assignment, which looks into research on the recognition of fake news. The Jupyter Notebookstage of this project was used, and the execution was assessed.

Procena primene azotnog đubriva i nano-silicijum spreja na performanse i komponente prinosa semena suncokreta

Considering the climatic altering and the noteworthy increment within the late seasonal dry stress on sunflower in semi-arid regions, it is fundamental to utilize modern administration like application nano silicon to reduce the unfavourable impacts of such stresses. A field trial was performed to study the effects of nitrogen levels (40, 80, and 120 kg ha-1 ) and foliar spray treating of nano silicon (50, 100, and 150 ppm) on some traits of sunflower. The first two factors explained 79% of the variation and showed strong positive association of yield and thousand-seed weight. The N4-Si3 (120 kg ha-1 nitrogen plus 150 ppm nano silicon) indicated the higher values for most traits, leaf and head properties and seed yield. For confirmation findings of factor analysis, the clustering of traits and treatments was performed and categorized the measured traits and treatments into three clusters. The medium and high concentrations of nitrogen and nano silicon (80 and 120 kg ha-1 nitrogen; 100 and 150 ppm nano SiO2) were grouped with each other in the same cluster and were the best treatments. The nitrogen is one of the important fertilizers for sunflower production and low magnitudes of nitrogen could not be sufficient in semiarid environments. The nano silicon has beneficial ability to minimize the harmful influences of environmental stresses and can provide the goals of sustainable and low input agricultural systems in production of sunflower under semi-arid regions.

Measurement of the magnetic field of an induction heater for locomotive wheelsets

In this paper, the electrical heating of bandage bracelets on locomotive wheelsets by eddy currents (Foucault currents) is examined. This process is applied when replacing the bandage bracelets due to deformation. The induction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the induction heater is tested by measurements in order to determine the safe zone for service personnel. The tests were carried out in real conditions in the Plovdiv locomotive depot using contemporary measuring devices. The characteristics are plotted showing the dependences of the magnetic induction on the distance to the induction heater, expressions are also obtained. It can be concluded that an exponential dependence can be used to estimate the induction of the magnetic field around the heater. Measures to limit the harmful influence of magnetic field on the service personnel are suggested.

Green economy as a tool for sustainable development and a factor contributing to the formation of a low-carbon economy

With the development of humanity, a number of global problems have emerged. One of the most dangerous problems for people’s lives is the environmental problem, which is based on the harmful influence of humans on nature. Environmental problems became more dangerous for humanity after the industrial revolution, when man began to dictate his own rules to nature, ignoring its laws. This article defines the concepts of “green” economy, “green” technologies, “cross-border carbon tax”, “carbon neutrality”, discusses the principles on the basis of which they operate, and also provides examples of some “green” technologies. Throughout the development of mankind, the question of the exhaustibility of resources and meeting the unlimited needs of people with limited resources has been relevant and remains so today, which raises an objective need to find solutions to emerging global environmental problems. The rapid development of production not only contributes to an increase in the level of well-being of the population, but is also associated with enormous damage to the environment due to anthropogenic impact. In the development of world economic processes, the industrial revolution was a new step, but at the same time it led to the formation of a huge number of problems that need to be dealt with. The green economy, as one of the tools for sustainable development, implies, among other things, a low level of carbon emissions, thus responding to the solution of environmental problems and, in principle, ensuring social well-being. In order to stimulate this area, it is necessary to constantly look for mechanisms and tools, one of which is the introduction of a carbon tax.

屛谷 權榘의 均賦論 고찰

This paper examines the theory of equitable taxation shown in 『Jeongsi- gwangyu(政始管窺)』 by ‘Byung-gok(屛谷)’ Kwon Gu(權榘, 1672~1749), a native of Andong. Kwon Gu emphasized the theory of equitable taxation, or ‘Gyunbu theory(均賦論)’ as the most urgent task for the stability of people's livelihoods. ‘Gyunbu(均賦)’ refers to imposing land taxes fairly.
 According to Kwon Gu, the foundation of Gyunbu lies in “personally inspecting the land(田地) and accurately revealing its true state[檢踏實事].” He also placed special emphasis on preventing the harmful influence of corrupt ‘Ajeon’ officers. As countermeasures, he proposed that, firstly, they should require the relevant departments and specialized personnel to handle related tasks while personally visiting the land to understand its true state. Secondly, when measuring the size of the land and rating it, Ajeons should be excluded from that task, and knowledgeable individuals competent at the job should be appointed. Thirdly, if any changes are made, the local government head or town magistrate should personally make a visit and confirm the situation. Fourthly, land registers should be recorded for each category of land and be used as a basis for inspecting the actual land and should be updated to reflect any changes.
 Kwon Gu strongly advocated for government officials to economize the national finances and reduce taxes to lessen the burden on the people and stabilize their lives. In particular, he heavily emphasized the reality that with the people’s lives being in terrible circumstances, a year of famine could cause Joseon to fall beyond repair. Therefore, he argued they should take reference from the concept of Zhu Xi’s ‘Su-bun-gam-bang(隨分減放)’: reducing taxes depending on how much damage natural disasters or famine cause, as well as the system of ‘Jeon-bu-gu-deung(田賦九等)’: collecting taxes depending on the quality of the farmland with said quality ranked into 9 tiers, found in the 『Wu-gong(禹貢)』section of 『Seo-gyeong(書經). He proposed dividing the good years from the bad years, as well as sorting out the severity of disasters into 9 different levels and reducing taxes based on them.

Омфалоцеле - щодо тактики ведення та лікування

An omphalocele is an abdominal defect covered by a membranous sac consisting of three layers: peritoneum, jelly of the ventricle and amnion as the outer layer. The vessels of the umbilical cord flow into the top of the pouch, which usually contains the herniated abdominal contents: intestines, liver, spleen, bladder and/or gonads. The pouch covers and protects the herniated organs from harmful external influences. Purpose - to improve care for patients with omphalocele, improve their life quality by updating treatment standards using the experience of other countries around the world. A literature review is provided and personal experience is highlighted - 2 clinical cases with a diagnosis of omphalocele. Both underwent operative treatment. All children recovered and were discharged from the clinic. Depending on the clinical manifestations, the size of the defect and the content of the hernia sac, the term and tactics of treatment differ. Conclusions. The discussion about the tactics of omphalocele treatment depending on the size is still relevant. Clinical recommendations for the management of omphalocele remain only recommendations, and in each individual case, the decision regarding the terms and methods of treatment remains with the surgeon. It is necessary to remember the possibility of entrapment, which forces the surgeon to perform urgent surgical intervention. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Bioactive Compounds for Combating Oxidative Stress in Dermatology.

There are extensive studies that confirm the harmful and strong influence of oxidative stress on the skin. The body's response to oxidative stress can vary depending on the type of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and their metabolites, the duration of exposure to oxidative stress and the antioxidant capacity at each tissue level. Numerous skin diseases and pathologies are associated with the excessive production and accumulation of free radicals. title altered Both categories have advantages and disadvantages in terms of skin structures, tolerability, therapeutic performance, ease of application or formulation and economic efficiency. The effect of long-term treatment with antioxidants is evaluated through studies investigating their protective effect and the improvement of some phenomena caused by oxidative stress. This article summarizes the available information on the presence of compounds used in dermatology to combat oxidative stress in the skin. It aims to provide an overview of all the considerations for choosing an antioxidant agent, the topics for further research and the answers sought in order to optimize therapeutic performance.

Environmental deterioration in the age of industrialization and production: do industrial competition and renewable energy reduce the ecological burden?

The modern era of globalization, economic development, and increase in manufacturing activity pose severe risks to the natural environment. In this context, industries must prioritize sustainable economic growth and development. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide insight into industrial competition, renewable energy, economic freedom, manufacturing value added, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2 emissions) in the top ten high-income countries from 1997 to 2019. The results from panel cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL), augmented mean group (AMG), and common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) techniques revealed that economic growth and industrial production have a harmful influence on CO2 emissions. Meanwhile, industrial competitiveness, renewable energy, and economic freedom are all negatively associated with CO2 emissions. This specifies that industrial competitiveness, renewable energy, and economic freedom are favorably related to environmental sustainability by limiting CO2 emissions in the top ten high-income countries. These findings imply that governments and responsible authorities/policymakers develop strategies to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing value addition and economic growth in the top ten high-income countries and allocate more financial resources to renewable energy and promote industrial competition.

Front-of-pack marketing on infant and toddler foods: Targeting children and their caregivers

ObjectiveTo identify and quantify child- and caregiver-appeal on front-of-pack marketing on infant and toddler foods in the Australian food supply. MethodsContent analysis of the presence and type of front-of-pack marketing techniques displayed on the front-of-pack of infant and toddler foods (for children aged up to 36 months) available in Australia’s two major supermarkets’ online stores. ResultsInfant and toddler foods are promoted by up to 15 unique marketing techniques on the front-of-pack with an average of eight unique features per pack. A majority of food packages included marketing techniques targeting children, and all food packages included marketing techniques targeting caregivers, most commonly promoting health and nutrition. ConclusionsInfant and toddler food packages are saturated with front-of-pack marketing features that target children and caregivers. To adequately protect young children’s diets from the harmful influence of food marketing, and to promote the development of optimal feeding behaviours, government-led controls of all marketing intended to influence children’s diets are required. In the context of marketing infant and toddler foods, this includes regulation of front-of-pack marketing techniques targeted to children and their caregivers. Implications for Public HealthComprehensive government-led food marketing controls are required to protect children’s diets from the harmful influence of marketing. The scope of these controls must include all unhealthy food marketing that children are exposed to and all other forms of unhealthy food marketing intended to influence children’s diets.

Effective Protective Coating of Pipe Metal with High-Strength Corrosion-Resistant Material Based on Low-Molecular Oligodiene

Statement of the problem. A significant number of PJSC «Gazprom» main gas pipelines were built thirty or more years ago. At that time ineffective insulating materials were used for protecting steel pipes, applied mainly in the conditions of the route, which led to their extremely unsatisfactory condition in the future. Thus, at present there is a need to develop effective protective coatings for steel pipelines using domestic materials and equipment. Results. As a result of a series of experiments the composition of the composite material of the insulating coating based on the rubber concrete (Kauton) optimized to the state of the rubber mastic of the usable consistency has been determined. By carrying out a series of search experiments, rational temperature-time regimes of rubber mastic heat treatment have been determined for the formation of an effective layer of protective coating on the surface of pipe metal isolating it from harmful influences. Experimental device for providing modes of structure formation of pipe metal insulating coating material has been designed. Vulcanization of the rubber-containing mastic on the surface of a steel tube is performed by induction heating of the tube metal maintaining the necessary temperature-time modes of structure formation of the protective coating material. The physical and mechanical characteristics of the insulating coating for steel pipes on the basis of rubber mastic have been determined experimentally. Conclusions. The results of the research allow us to draw a conclusion about expediency, efficiency and significance of application in various areas of industrial production of coatings based on synthetic rubber to protect steel pipes from various negative influences and aggressive environments.

SMN deficiency perturbs monoamine neurotransmitter metabolism in spinal muscular atrophy

Beyond motor neuron degeneration, homozygous mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene cause multiorgan and metabolic defects in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). However, the precise biochemical features of these alterations and the age of onset in the brain and peripheral organs remain unclear. Using untargeted NMR-based metabolomics in SMA mice, we identify cerebral and hepatic abnormalities related to energy homeostasis pathways and amino acid metabolism, emerging already at postnatal day 3 (P3) in the liver. Through HPLC, we find that SMN deficiency induces a drop in cerebral norepinephrine levels in overt symptomatic SMA mice at P11, affecting the mRNA and protein expression of key genes regulating monoamine metabolism, including aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DβH) and monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). In support of the translational value of our preclinical observations, we also discovered that SMN upregulation increases cerebrospinal fluid norepinephrine concentration in Nusinersen-treated SMA1 patients. Our findings highlight a previously unrecognized harmful influence of low SMN levels on the expression of critical enzymes involved in monoamine metabolism, suggesting that SMN-inducing therapies may modulate catecholamine neurotransmission. These results may also be relevant for setting therapeutic approaches to counteract peripheral metabolic defects in SMA.

EFFECT OF THE ADDITION OF ORANGE PEEL POWDER ON THE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA)/CELLULOSE ACETATE (CA) FILM COMPOSITES

Conventional plastics are already a popular packaging material in society, but they have a harmful influence on the environment. As a result, there is a need for environmentally friendly polymers that are raw from nature and biodegradable alternatives to traditional plastics, one of which is raw plastic Polylactic Acid (PLA) coupled with Cellulose Acetate (CA) and Tween 80 as a compatibilizer. The goal of this research was to find the best ratio of orange skin powder to PLA/CA with the compatibilizer Tween 80 to improve the physical, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of the composite film. The method used is solvent casting with a mass ratio of PLA/CA 6: 4 with the addition of Tween 80 2%, and the addition of orange peel powder with variations of 2, 4, 6, and 10 % w/w to the weight of PLA. The tests carried out include FTIR, SEM, XRD, DSC-TGA, mechanical tests (tensile strength and elongation at break), swelling tests, and antibacterial tests. The results showed that the PLA/CA/Tween 80 film composite has a fairly smooth surface with a small cavity, capable of degrading to a temperature of 546.57°C. Regarding the mechanics, the best film composites were identified at a variation of 6% with tensile strength of 4.05 MPa and elongation at break reaching 11.2% with a fairly small water absorption and this variation did not show antibacterial activity.

The Health and Functional Age Trend Self-assessment of the Older Workers and Retirees in Ukraine from Online Data Human Health Passport in COVID-19 Pandemic

For a general health assessment of the workers in organized industries, and unorganized groups of the unemployed and retirees, systematic online health monitoring has been used. Health monitoring includes a scale assessment of functional tests. The actual state of population health is still not included in the registers of National Statistics of Ukraine for example workers, pensioners and unemployment. The purpose of the study was systemic online health monitoring, to assess the impact of professional, demographic, and socio-economic factors in the Covid-19 pandemic condition and the limited capacity of the health care system in Ukraine. Methods: The study used the intrinsic capacity assessment scales, the five-question scale to detect muscle dysfunction in older persons, as well as some questions regarding residual performance, psychophysiological methods, and characteristics of the functional age. The questionnaire Human Health Passport 1.1 includes 70 questions; 21 of them were assessed by 1 point for positive answer and zero for negative case. The screening was carried out online on social media to Internet users aged 31 to 90. In the study 377 respondents of which 83.83% were employees. The Human Health Passport screening showed reliability (Cronbach alfa = 0.737), and correlation relationships of the main estimated indicators are significant. So, 54% of respondents do need health care under a physician’s supervision. The 39% of respondents need should convey the proper individual schedule of workout and labour hours, as well as physical activity and breathing exercises because only 7% of respondents are healthy. Correlation analysis of the scale results showed a significant relationship between age, with static balancing, falls during the last 6 months, and the ability to 5 times sit to stand test within 14 seconds. The optimal management of Human Health Passport screening helps to reduce the harmful influence on the environment, and transport expenses for doctor visits and saves the doctor's time for patient examination and prevention of the exposure and the spread of COVID-19. The screening showed the existing reserves of training for health promotion and, the overstrain of the functional systems of the body in the working population - 76%—by the purpose. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: remote health screening; retirees; biological age; ageing; elderly workers

Effect of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy prior to oesophageal cancer surgery on postoperative wound complications in patients: A meta-analysis.

It is still a matter of controversy whether percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG) should be used prior to the operation for the purpose of feeding the patient with resectable oesophageal carcinoma (EC). Comparison was made between EC and preoperatively treated PEG and non-preoperative PEG. An extensive literature review has been conducted to determine the results about PEG and No-PEG trials. In this paper, we chose 4 papers out of 407 of them through a strict selection process. In this trial, there were 1027 surgical cases of oesophagus carcinoma, 152 with PEG pre-surgery and 875 without PEG. The total sample size ranged from 14 to 657. Two studies showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of postoperative wound infection among PEG and No-PEG(OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.38, 2.80 p = 0.96), there was no statistical significance in the likelihood of anastomotic leak among PEG after surgery compared to No-PEG in 4 trials (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.62-2.07 p = 0.69), and there were no statistical differences between PEG and No-PEG before operation on anastomotic stricture for esophagectomy(OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.31-1.56 p = 0.38). No wound or anastomosis complications were observed in the PEG group. Thus, PEG preoperatively is an effective and safe procedure without any harmful influence on gastrointestinal structure or anastomosing. It can be applied to patients with oesophagus carcinoma who have a high risk of undernutrition. Nevertheless, because of the limited number of randomized controlled trials in this meta-analysis, caution should be exercised in their treatment. More high-quality research involving a large sample is required to confirm the findings.
