[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.

[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.

[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.

[Protective effects of vagus nerve stimulation on rats with sepsis-associated encephalopathy].
To observe the effects of electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve on sepsis-associated encephalopathy, and to explore its possible mechanism. ⋯ LPS can lead to sepsis-associated encephalopathy in rats. It was shown that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve can activate anti-inflammatory effect through cholinergic pathway, and improve the cerebral function, and inhibit the development of sepsis-associated encephalopathy by reducing systemic and cerebral inflammatory reaction.
