Comparative Study[Effect of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation on N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and type II respiratory failure].
To investigate the effect of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) on N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and type II respiratory failure. ⋯ The plasma level of NT-proBNP reflects the severity of patients with AECOPD and type II respiratory failure. NIPPV can decrease a patient's splasma level of NT-proBNP, which has clinical value for evaluating the effect of NIPPV.

Comparative Study[Comparison the effects of prone and modified recumbent positions on minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy].
To compare the safety and efficacy of prone and modified recumbent positions on minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy. ⋯ The patients are safer and more easily tolerate the minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the modified recumbent position than in the prone position, though the treatment efficacy of these two kinds of operation is similar. It is recommended that the modified recumbent position should be used generally in the percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

[Significance of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference for early goal-directed therapy in septic patients].
To determine whether central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide tension difference (Pcv-aCO(2)) could still be used as a goal of fluid resuscitation in septic patients who already had ScvO2 greater than 70% after early resuscitation. ⋯ Septic patients targeting only ScvO(2) may still have inappropriate tissue perfusion, especially when Pcv-aCO2 ≥6 mmHg, which indicates insufficient resuscitation. When ScvO(2) > 70% has achieved after early resuscitation, Pcv-aCO2 can still be used as a goal of fluid resuscitation in septic patients .
