[N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide value for prediction of mortality among critically ill patients in different age groups in intensive care unit].
To investigate N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) cutoff value for the mortality in different age groups in critically ill patients. ⋯ NT-proBNP cutoff value in different age groups for the prediction of mortality in the critically ill patients maybe more objective and accurate.

[Procalcitonin for the differential diagnosis of infectious and non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome after cardiac operation].
To assess the value of procalcitonin (PCT) for the differential diagnosis between infectious and non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after cardiac operation. ⋯ PCT was a useful marker for the diagnosis of infectious SIRS after cardiac operation as compared with WBC and CRP. The optimal PCT cut-off value for diagnosing infectious SIRS was 0.47 fLg/L.

[Inhibitory effect of kukoamine B on lung inflammatory responses in mice with sepsis].
To investigate the inhibitory effect of kukoamine B (KB) on lung inflammatory responses in mice with sepsis and its possible molecular mechanism. ⋯ KB, as a neutralizer of LPS, can inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators, reduce the pulmonary inflammatory response and protect the function of lung in septic mice.

[Early acute liver injury in paraquat poisoning rats].
To observe hepatocellular apoptosis and inflammatory cytokines expression and their mechanisms after paraquat poisoning in rat. ⋯ Paraquat can cause acute liver injury in rats, with caspase-3, -8, -9, -12 activities markedly enhanced, and liver injury may be associated with an early high expression of TNF-α, iNOS and p53 gene.
