[The value of D-dimer for etiological diagnosis of mortal chest pain: an analysis of 438 cases].
To investigate the role of plasma D-dimer in differentiating fatal chest pain due either to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute pulmonary embolism (APE) or acute aortic dissection (AAD) in emergency department. ⋯ D-dimer is a better index in differentiating AMI from APE/AAD in emergency setting, guiding further examination and therapy, and increasing diagnosis efficiency.

[An investigation on correlation of severity of brain injury with the expression of activin A and C-reactive protein].
To determine the dynamic change in serum levels of activin A (ACTA) and C-reaction protein (CRP) in patients with brain injury, and to investigate its significance. ⋯ Serum levels of ACTA and CRP in patients with brain injury are strongly correlated with the severity of the injury. Furthermore, ACTA is more sensitive than CRP in detecting early brain injury. Therefore, ACTA is a specific factor for detecting brain injury.

[Experimental study of the effect of Shenmai injection on post-cardiac arrest syndrome in rabbit].
To observe the effects of Shenmai injection on post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) in rabbit and to discuss the underlying mechanism. ⋯ Severity of injury of different organs in rabbit cardiac arrest model showed positive correlation with the alterations in serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, NF-ΚB after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Early use of Shenmai injection after cardiopulmonary resuscitation can retard the development of PCAS, especially in the protection of ischemia and hypoxia of myocardium after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
