Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to analyze the diagnostic characteristics of acute respiratory distress syndrome/multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (H-ARDS/MODS) at different altitudes and compare the efficacy of three scoring criteria for predicting outcomes.
  • - Researchers grouped 540 cases based on altitude and evaluated the diagnostic criteria using ROC curves and regression analysis, finding that the Lanzhou criteria were more effective in higher altitude areas compared to two other criteria.
  • - The results indicated that existing diagnostic criteria for ARDS/MODS may be inadequate above 1,500 meters, suggesting the need for updated criteria specifically tailored for high altitude conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to evaluate how well current ARDS/MODS diagnostic criteria work at high altitudes compared to lower altitudes, specifically focusing on high-altitude cases (H-ARDS/MODS).
  • Researchers analyzed 505 cases, dividing them into three groups based on altitude, and used various diagnostic criteria to assess outcomes and compare accuracy through ROC curves and other statistical measures.
  • Results showed that the current ARDS/MODS criteria are less effective at high altitudes, especially emphasizing that the Lanzhou criteria may provide better diagnostic accuracy for patients living at elevations above 1,517 meters.

Objective: To explore the protective effect of morphine and its mechanism on acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (AMIR) injury in rats, by the method of detecting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels, as well as myocardial infarct size.

Methods: Forty SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: ischemia/reperfusion group (n=10), morphine preconditioning group (n=10), morphine and naloxone hydrochloride group (n=10), and normal controls (n=10). The animal model of AMIR was established in rats.

Objective: To study the characteristics of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) of inpatients with nosocomial G- bacteria infection in order to find on effective treatment.

Methods: Eighty-two inpatients of SIRS with lower respiratory tract infection with G- bacteria were studied prospectively until discharge or death. They were divided into two groups: observation group (42 cases) and control group (40 cases).

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the diagnostic parameters of acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (ARDS/MODS) at high altitude versus on the plains, evaluating the practicality of existing diagnostic criteria.
  • A total of 360 cases were analyzed, divided into three groups based on altitude: a control group from the plains, and two high-altitude groups (1,517 m and 2,261-2,400 m).
  • Results indicated significant differences in diagnostic criteria between low and high altitudes, with the altitude of 1,517 m identified as a critical threshold for diagnosing H-ARDS, suggesting that current criteria need adjustments for high-altitude contexts.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Shengmai Injection (SMI) on blood coagulation in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).

Methods: Sixty patients with CHF were randomly divided into two groups, the 30 patients in the treated group were treated with SMI plus conventional treatment of western medicine, and the 30 in the control group treated with conventional treatment alone. The changes of cardiac function were observed and levels of plasma P-selectin, von Willebrand's factor (vWF) and D-dimer were determined.
