[The sensitivity and accuracy of RIFLE and AKIN criteria for acute kidney injury diagnosis in intensive care unit patients].
To evaluate the sensitivity/accuracy of 2 different acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis/classification criteria, the RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss of kidney function, end-stage kidney disease) and the acute kidney injury network (AKIN), for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ Although AKIN criteria has higher sensitivity in AKI diagnosis, it is not different from the RIFLE criteria in predicting hospital mortality in critically ill patients.

[The effects of mild hypothermia on cardiac function and myocardial structure in a rabbits model of ventricular fibrillation after restoration of spontaneous circulation].
To examine the impact of mild hypothermia on cardiac function, myocardial tissue integrity, and 48 hours mortality in a rabbits model of ventricular fibrillation after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). ⋯ Myocardial dysfunction and myocardium tissue injury both develop in post-resuscitation rabbits with ventricular fibrillation. In these animals, reducing body temperature to the level of mild hypothermia after ROSC may improve the 48 hours survival rate, probably via mechanisms that suppress myocardial cell apoptosis. In our study, such intervention produced no obvious negative impact neither on the cardiac function nor hemodynamics.
