[Effect of ethyl pyruvate on indices of tissue oxygenation and perfusion in dogs with septic shock].
To investigate the effect of ethyl pyruvate (EP) on indices of tissue oxygenation and perfusion in dogs with septic shock. ⋯ EP infusion resulted in improved tissue oxygenation and perfusion in dogs with septic shock.

[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.

[Change of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and big endothelin in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting].
To examine the change in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) and big endothelin (big ET) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and to evaluate their value in predicting postoperative mortality and complication. ⋯ Significant increase in Nt-proBNP and ET is found after CABG. BNP and LVEF are showed to be risk factors for postoperative complications in patients undergoing CABG.
