Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of Fresh Gas Flow Rate on Thiol/Disulphide Hemostasis and Ischemia-modified Albumin in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
To investigate the effects of low-flow and high-flow anesthesia techniques, administered with sevoflurane during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, on thiol/disulphide homeostasis and serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels. ⋯ There was no difference between low-flow and high-flow anesthesia during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in terms of hemodynamics or thiol/disulphide homeostasis. Key Words: Low-flow anesthesia, High-flow anesthesia, Thiol/disulphide homeostasis, İschemia-modified albumin (IMA), Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of Methylprednisolone Plus Azithromycin on Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Peripheral Blood Eosinophils in Children with Refractory Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Pneumonia.
To investigate the efficacy and adverse reactions of methylprednisolone plus azithromycin in the treatment of children with refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) and its effect on fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and peripheral blood eosinophils (EOS). ⋯ The efficacy of methylprednisolone plus azithromycin in treatment of RMPP is better than azithromycin alone. The former can reduce the levels of FeNO and EOS more effectively than the latter. Key Words: Refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP), Methylprednisolone, Azithromycin, Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), Eosinophils (EOS).

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of S-adenosyl-L-Methionine Combined with Ursodesoxycholic Acid on Serum Endotoxin, MMP-9 and IL-18 in Neonates with Cholestasis.
To compare the effect of ursodesoxycholic acid (UDCA) with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAMe) plus UDCA in handling of cholestasis in neonates, and their influences on serum endotoxin, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and interleukin 18 (IL-18). ⋯ Compared with UDCA alone, SAMe plus UDCA can more effectively improve the curative effect of neonatal cholestasis, and reduce serum endotoxin, MMP-9 and IL-18 levels. Key Words: Ursodesoxycholic acid (UDCA), Neonates, Cholestasis, Endotoxin, Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), Interleukin 18 (IL-18).
