Successful cure of a patient with urosepsis using a combination of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous renal replacement therapy: A case report and literature review.

Holmium laser lithotripsy (HLL) is one of the common surgical methods for urolithiasis. It causes minor surgical trauma, but complications are not rare. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment of sepsis is common, but venoarterial (VA)-ECMO treatment of urosepsis has not been reported yet.

Validation of the mutant selection window hypothesis with fosfomycin against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa: an in vitro and in vivo comparative study.

The purpose of this study was to validate the mutant selection window (MSW) hypothesis in vitro and in vivo with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa exposed to fosfomycin. Two standard strains of Gram-negative bacteria, those are E. coli ATCC 25922 and P.

Galleria mellonella as an in vivo model for assessing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents against Enterobacter cloacae infection.

Background/purpose: Enterobacter cloacae is a well-recognized nosocomial pathogen. Use of a rapid, in vivo infection model for E. cloacae that can determine the efficacy of antibiotic therapies could help facilitate screening for new treatments.

[Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on the acute lung injury induced by oleic acid in rats].

Objective: To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by oleic acid (OA) in rats.

Methods: Eighty healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups. In OA group (n=30), ALI was produced by injection of OA 0.

[Individualized and comprehensive therapy for severe acute pancreatitis in early stage: analysis of 110 cases].

Objective: To investigate the risk factors of exacerbation of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in early stage, in order to formulate therapeutic strategies including minimally invasive intervention and organ support, and to finalize an individualized and comprehensive therapy for the SAP in early stage to decrease the mortality.

Methods: Fifty-three patients with SAP admitted from 1995 to 1999 was categorized as group 1, and 57 patients admitted from 2000 to 2005 as group 2, were analyzed retrospectively. Ranson's score, acute physiological and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, Balthazar CT grade, presence or absence of biliary tract obstruction, hypoxia, lung infection, shock, abdomen compartment syndrome (ACS), hyperlipemia, pleural effusion were analysed logistically.
