[Changes in plasma interleukin-33 concentration in sepsis and its correlation with seriousness of sepsis].
To observe the changes in plasma interleukin-33 (IL-33) in patients with sepsis and its regularity, the association between IL-33 and the infection, and the significance of IL-33 in predicting the prognosis of sepsis. ⋯ The concentration of IL-33 3 hours after ICU admission was obviously increased in sepsis patients, and it was positively correlated with PCT, therefore it is valuable in the diagnosis of the infection. In addition plasma IL-33 is related to the severity of sepsis. Its trend of change is valuable in predicting the outcome and in distinguishing sepsis from SIRS.

[The correlation between procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and severity scores in patients with sepsis and their value in assessment of prognosis].
To investigate the correlation between procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, and to investigate the value in assessment of PCT and CRP in prognosis in patients with sepsis. ⋯ Compared with CRP, PCT was more significantly correlated with APACHE II score and SOFA score. PCT can be a better indicator for evaluation of degree of severity, and also prognosis in sepsis patients.

[Effect of hydrogen sulfide on tissue factor-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation in rabbits].
To investigate the protective effect of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on tissue factor-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in rabbits and its mechanism. ⋯ These results show that H2S protects against TF-induced DIC by inhibiting the activity of coagulation system and platelet aggregation.
