[Clinical study of effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride and atropine sequential therapy in the treatment of severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning].
To investigate the clinical efficacy of penehyclidine hydrochloride sequential to atropine in severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP). ⋯ In treatment of severe AOPP by penehyclidine hydrochloride sequential to atropine, curative effect was more significant, with fewer adverse reactions, short hospital stay, and lower cost.

[Value of procalcitonin in the early diagnosis of sepsis in Department of Emergency].
To investigate the value of procalcitonin (PCT) in the early diagnosis and risk stratification in sepsis. ⋯ Serum PCT is a reliable measure in emergency room for early diagnosis of sepsis with high sensitivity and specificity, it could be used as a routine monitoring index in critically ill patients to help assess disease severity in sepsis.

[Significance of serum procalcitonin levels in the evaluation of severity and prognosis of patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome].
To observe the dynamic changes in serum procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell (WBC) count in systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and their implication in assessment of illness severity and prognosis. ⋯ Serum PCT evaluation may be helpful in differentiating sepsis and non-sepsis at early stage of disease, and also in predicting the severity of the illness and prognosis of SIRS. PCT may be one of the independent risk factors for 28-day survival.

[The influence of positive end-expiratory pressure on central venous pressure in patients with severe craniocerebral injury].
To observe the impact of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on central venous pressure (CVP) in mechanically ventilated patients with severe craniocerebral injury. ⋯ CVP values were overestimated during an increase in PEEP in mechanically ventilated patients with severe craniocerebral injury. CVP was increased about 0.368 cm H2O following an increase of PEEP of 1 cm H2O, whereas the values of MAP, HR and SpO2 showed no significant change with increase in PEEP levels. This study could offer a theoretical base in the correct assessment of CVP values at different PEEP levels without discontinuation of mechanical ventilation.
