[The predictive values of D-dimer for the early prognosis of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI): a review of 3134 AMI patients].
To investigate whether D-dimer could be an early warning signal for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), then may be helpful in risk assessment in emergency department. ⋯ D-dimer was correlated with the early prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction, but was not correlated with the time from onset to death. The rise in D-dimer at the early stage of AMI may be helpful to indicate the critical condition of the AMI patients.

[Protective effect of melatonin on myocardial injury in severely- burned rats].
To investigate the protective effect of melatonin (MLT) on myocardial injury in severely-burned rats and its mechanism. ⋯ MLT treatment exerts the protective effect on myocardial injury in severely-burned rats, which is attributed predominantly to its inhibition on burn-induced oxidative stress injury.

[Feasibility of focused transthoracic echocardiography in intensive care unit performed by intensivists].
To assess the clinical applicability of focused transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in intensive care unit (ICU) performed by intensivists and its impacts on clinical managements. ⋯ After a brief standard training in using echocardiographic system, intensivists can successfully performed and correctly interpreted a focused TTE for critically ill patients. Our study demonstrates that new information can be provided by focused TTE, which can alter management in a significant number of patients. The present study supports incorporating bedside goal-directed, focused TTE into intensivists' training programs in China.
