[The assessment of ultrasonic measurement of superior vena cava blood flow for the volume responsiveness of patients with mechanical ventilation].
To approach the evaluative effect of respiratory variation of superior vena cava peak flow velocity measured using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) on fluid responsiveness in patients with mechanical ventilation. ⋯ Respiratory variations in superior vena cava peak velocity measured by TTE could assess fluid responsiveness in patients with mechanical ventilation.

[Study of the mechanisms of curcumin on mitochondrial permeability transition of hepatocytes in rats with sepsis].
To study the effects of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) on hepatocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial damage, and investigate the effects of curcumin on MPT and the related mechanisms in septic rat. ⋯ MPT can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and further cause hepatocyte apoptosis. Mechanism of effect of curcumin on MPT may be related to reduction of intracellular calcium concentration, promotion of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene expression, inhibition of caspase-3 activation and Bax gene.
