RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The comparative efficacy of epidural bupivacaine alone and bupivacaine combined with magnesium sulfate in providing postoperative analgesia remains controversial. METHODS: We searched Mediline (OvidSP), EMBASE (OvidSP) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) to identify trials that compared epidural bupivacaine and magnesium sulfate combination (intervention) with bupivacaine alone (control). Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) framework was used to assess the quality of evidence. RESULTS: Eleven studies fulfilled our inclusion criteria after screening. We found that epidural bupivacaine combined with magnesium sulfate could prolong the time for first rescue analgesics (SMD 4.96; 95% CI [2.75, 7.17], P < 0.00001, I2 = 98%), reduce the number of patients who need rescue analgesics (RR 0.38; 95% CI [0.20, 0.74], P = 0.004, I2 = 75%) and requirement for rescue analgesics (SMD -2.65; 95% CI [- 4.23, - 1.06], P = 0.001, I2 = 96%). CONCLUSIONS: Magnesium suifate as an adjuvant of epidural bupivacaine improved postoperative analgesia. However, we rated the quality of evidence to be very low because of high heterogeneity, imprecise of results and small sample sizes. Furthermore, further large high-quality trials are still needed to confirm the effects of magnesium sulfate on postoperative analgesia.

Aim of the study was to observe and analyze the clinical effect of intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid combined with oral medication of cinobufagin in treating metastatic bone tumors. The 120 patients who have been treated in the hospital for metastatic bone tumor from June 2014 to June 2017 were selected as research objects. They were randomly divided into research group and control group, each containing 60. The research group was treated with intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid combined with oral medication of cinobufagin. In the control group, only zoledronic acid intravenous infusion was administered. The overall treatment effect of the two groups was observed. The pain of two groups was evaluated using numerical rating scale (NRS). The results showed that compared with the control group, the research group achieved better clinical effect and had a higher quality of life, and the intergroup difference was of statistical significance, P<0.05. There was no difference in rate of adverse reactions between the two groups, P>0.05, without statistical significance. The combined therapy of intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid and oral medication of cinobufagin can obtain better therapeutic effect in treating metastatic bone tumors.
