[Dynamic monitoring of the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio could predict the prognosis of patients with bloodstream infection].
To explore the value of dynamic monitoring of the neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in peripheral blood for the prognosis of patients with bloodstream infection (BSI). ⋯ The trend of changes in NEU, LYM and NLR as shown by repeated routine blood examinations contributes to prediction of the outcome of patients with BSI. The levels of 1-day Hb and 7-day NLR are the independent prognostic predictors for 28-day mortality.

[The effects of early goal-directed therapy on mortality rate in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock: a systematic literature review and Meta-analysis].
To investigate whether early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) could lower the mortality rate in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. ⋯ EGDT strategy may decrease the short-term mortality in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, but it showed no influence on the long-term mortality.

[The value of differential time to positivity of blood cultures in diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infection in patients with solid tumors in intensive care unit].
To determine the value of differential time to positivity (DTTP) of blood culture for the diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in patients with solid tumors in intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ DTTP can be a valid method recommended for CRBSI diagnosis in critically ill patients with acceptable sensitivity, good specificity as well as positive predictive value. DTTP combined with other clinical symptoms can not only avoid unnecessary catheter withdrawal, but it also can help obtain the optimal treatment time and strategy.

[Effects of hydrogen inhalation on serum pro-inflammatory factors and intestinal injury in mice with severe sepsis].
To investigate the effects and mechanisms of hydrogen inhalation on serum levels of pro-inflammatory factors and intestinal injury in severe septic mice. ⋯ Hydrogen inhalation can down-regulate the systemic inflammatory response to ameliorate the intestinal injury, and it may improve the septic process and increase the survival rate of mice with severe sepsis.
