[Role of neuron specific enolase and S100 protein in evaluation of brain damage in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest].
To investigate the prognostic value of serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S100 protein in evaluation of brain damage in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA). ⋯ Measurement of serum NSE and S100 protein concentrations can help judge the degree of brain damage and whether patients can regain consciousness after CPR. It will be more valuable to prognosticate a serious and continuous brain damage with dynamic observation of the serum NSE together with S100 protein.

[Protective effect of melatonin against renal dysfunction following severe burn in rats].
To explore the protective effect of melatonin (MLT) against renal dysfunction in the early stage of burn in rats. ⋯ Severe burn may result in obvious oxidative stress (within 72 hours postburn) in the kidney with acute renal dysfunction (within 24 hours postburn). Single injection of MLT partially counteracted these changes, due to its high free radical scavenging capacity as well as its inhibitory effect on neutrophil-mediated tissue injury.
