Diagnostic efficacy of serum presepsin for postoperative infectious complications: a meta-analysis.

Background: Postoperative infectious complications (PICs) are major concerns. Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for timely treatment and improved outcomes. Presepsin is an emerging biomarker for bacterial infections.

[Protective effects of perfluorocarbon combined with ligustrazine against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats].

Objective: To investigate the effects of perfluorocarbon and ligustrazine in protecting the lungs against ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Methds: Forty SD rats with ischemia-reperfusion lung injury were randomized equally into control, ligustrazine, perfluorocarbon, and perfluorocarbon plus ligustrazine groups and received the corresponding treatment via the tail vein 5 min before reperfusion. The lung tissues were harvested and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected 3 h after reperfusion.
