[Clinical and laboratory criteria for identification of early-onset stroke associated pneumonia: a prospective trial].
To investigate the significance of first determined contents of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1 (sTREM-1) and the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) in the detection of early-onset pneumonia (EOP) developed in patients suffering from stroke. ⋯ The first PCT is an effective indicator to predict EOP. The first CPIS is an index for screening EOP. PCT combined with CPIS may improve the specificity to predict EOP. The first sTREM-1 is a good indicator to identify severe EOP. Combination of first PCT and sTREM-1 may greatly improve the specificity to predict severe EOP.

Comparative Study[Comparative study of recruitment maneuver guided by pressure-volume curve on respiratory physiology and lung morphology between acute respiratory distress syndrome of pulmonary and extrapulmonary origin in canine models].
To determine effects of recruitment maneuver (RM) guided by pressure-volume (P-V) curve on respiratory physiology and lung morphology in canine models of acute respiratory distress syndrome of pulmonary or extrapulmonary origin (ARDSp and ARDSexp). ⋯ RM guided by P-V curve could help obtain better oxygenation, improve pulmonary compliance and lung ventilation in ARDSexp and ARDSp, and better treatment effects are seen in ARDSexp dogs than ARDSp dogs.
