Randomized Controlled Trial[The impact of L-carnitine administration on the serum level of myocardium injury markers in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning].
To examine the serum level of myocardial injury markers in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, the correlation between these markers and the severity of the disease, and the therapeutic effects of L-carnitine administration. ⋯ The incidence of abnormal findings in serum myocardial injury markers was positively correlated with HbCO concentration after CO poisoning. L-carnitine may protect the myocardium and striated muscles against injury in patients with CO poisoning.

Comparative Study[The lung injury in postpartum and non-pregnant rabbits after resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock].
To investigate the difference in the development of acute lung injury after hemorrhagic shock in postpartum and non-pregnant rabbits. ⋯ Delivery causes significant increase in serum TNF-α in pregnant rabbits. Inflammatory lung injury is more severe in postpartum rabbits after resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, and the increased serum level of inflammatory mediators may be part of the mechanism for such difference.

[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.

[Evaluation of the hemodynamic state of critically ill cancer patients with central venous to arterial carbon dioxide difference].
To evaluate the hemodynamic state of critically ill cancer patients using central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pcv-aCO(2)) and to direct the treatment. ⋯ Pcv-aCO(2) could be used as an index of evaluating the cardiac index and the hemodynamic state, and it could be considered to be one of the indices of evaluating the therapeutic effect and prognosis.
