Background: Owing to a lack of data, this study aimed to explore the effect of cardiac preload on myocardial strain in patients with sepsis.
Methods: A total of 70 patients with sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU) of a tertiary teaching hospital in China from January 2018 to July 2019 and underwent transthoracic echocardiography were enrolled. Echocardiographic data were recorded at ICU admission and 24 h later.
Sepsis can easily cause acute kidney injury (AKI) and seriously endanger human health. This article aims to investigate and study the role of microRNA-665 (miR-665) in septic AKI and the underlying molecular mechanism. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to construct cell and animal models of septic AKI.

Objective: To investigate the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (HS) on intestinal mucosal barrier after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest (CA) rabbits.
Methods: Forty-four male New Zealand rabbits were divided into sham operation group (Sham group, n = 12), post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) group (n = 16) and H2S intervention group (PCAS+NaHS, n = 16) according to random number table method. The rabbit model of PCAS was established by tracheal clamping and suffocation, and CPR was started at 5 minutes after CA.
