Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on 103 elderly patients with post-stroke aspiration pneumonia and moderate respiratory failure (oxygenation index: 100-200 mmHg) that had been admitted. The patients were divided into two groups according to the mode of oxygen therapy that was used: the Venturi mask group and the HFNC treatment group.

Objective: To affirm the presence of relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI) in the early phases of sepsis and its probable mechanisms, and to study the optimal time for glucocorticoid replacement therapy.
Methods: A total of 260 healthy male Wistar rats were randomized into five groups (each group n=52), including normal control group, sham operation group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, dexamethasone prevention group (with 10 mg/kg dexamethasone injection into the abdominal cavity before CLP) and dexamethasone treatment group (with 10 mg/kg dexamethasone injection into the abdominal cavity 7 hours after CLP). Each group was subdivided into five subgroups according to five time points: 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 hours.
