[The effects of continuous positive airway pressure ventilation on hypersensitive C reaction protein and 8-isoprostane in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To observe the effect of continuous positive airway pressure ventilation on hypersensitive C reaction protein (hsCRP) and 8-isoprostane in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). ⋯ Long term intermittent hypoxia in patients with OSAHS results in enhanced oxidative stress reaction and over-generated inflammatory mediators. There is a positive correlation between oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators, which promotes each other, leading to the organ dysfunction induced by hypoxia.

[A preliminary study of the significance of autoantibodies against light chain of myeloperoxidase on pulmonary damages in myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis].
To investigate the clinical characteristics of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (MPO-AAV) with pulmonary injury and the relationship between pulmonary injury and ANCA against light chain of MPO (LCMPO-ANCA). ⋯ Pulmonary injury was relatively common and insidious in patients with MPO-AAV. To monitor ANCA level is necessary in patients with pulmonary injury. LCMPO-ANCA might play an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary lesions in AAV.

[The value of changes in plasma B-type natriuretic peptide before and after spontaneous breathing trial in predicting weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients].
To evaluate the value of the change of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in predicting weaning outcome of patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU. ⋯ Either ΔBNP% or ΔBNP in the SBT can predict weaning outcome, in which ΔBNP% seems better than ΔBNP.
