[Prognostic implication of plasma N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide in weaning from mechanical ventilation].
To explore the relationship between plasma N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels of patients before weaning and outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) in patients. ⋯ Irrespective of the causes of institution of MV, the cardiac function must be considered as an important factor in affecting the outcome of weaning. The plasma NT-proBNP level of 3 914.5 ng/L can be used to predict weaning outcome. The cardiac function should be improved to a point within the range of cut-off point value in order to improve the success rate of weaning.

[The dynamic alteration in Gq/11 protein expression in multiple organs during acute respiratory distress syndrome in rat].
To observe the dynamic alteration in Gq/11 protein expression in the lung, brain, heart, kidney, liver and small intestine of rats suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and to explore the pathophysiological mechanism of ARDS in terms of signal transduction. ⋯ Up-regulation of Gq/11 protein expression in the lung, brain, heart, kidney, liver and small intestine may induce abnormal activity of phosphatidyl inositol signal transduction and thus plays a role in the production of multiple organ injury during ARDS.
