[Effect of interleukin-10 level and human leukocyte antigen-DR expression as prognostic predictors in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy].
To inquire into interleukin-10 (IL--10) level and monocyte expression of human leukocyte antigen--DR (HLA--DR) are predictors of infection and prognosis in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). ⋯ (1)A significant discriminative power of IL--10 levels in predicting disease severity was found among the patients receiving CRRT, and persistently high IL--10 level predicts poor prognosis. (2) Persistently low monocyte HLA--DR expression may indicate concomitant or impending infection in patients receiving CRRT.

[The value of assay of (1, 3)-β-D-glucan in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for detection of invasive pulmonary fungal infection in critically ill patients in intensive care unit].
To evaluate the value of (1, 3)-β-D-glucan (G test) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in diagnosing and determining the therapeutic effects among the critically ill patients suspected with invasive pulmonary fungal infection (IPFI). ⋯ It is suggested that BALF G test may be an useful test for early diagnosis of IPFI. Moreover, the dynamic change in G test values could be useful for assessing therapeutic response.

[Effects of volume resuscitation on venous pressure gradient in hypovolemic patients undergoing mechanical ventilation].
To investigate the value of venous pressure gradient [D(c-i)VP] between central venous pressure (CVP) and iliac vein pressure (IVP) in assessing the responsiveness to volume resuscitation in hypovolemic patient undergoing mechanical ventilation. ⋯ In the course of fluid resuscitation in hypovolemic patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, the D(c-i)VP was significantly reduced with fluid resuscitation. At the same time, significant correlations between D(c-i)VP, TFC and SV were demonstrated. The measurement of D(c-i)VP could help guide fluid resuscitation in hypovolemic patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.

[Effects of recruitment maneuver in prone position on hemodynamics in patients with severe pulmonary infection].
To evaluate effects of recruitment maneuver in prone position on hemodynamics in patients with severe pulmonary infection, based on the protective pulmonary ventilation strategy. ⋯ Based on the lung protective ventilation strategy of small tidal volume with PEEP, oxygenation was improved and SpO(2) was increased significantly when prone position ventilation combined with lung recruitment method was used in severe pulmonary infection patients. The effect of recruitment maneuver during prone position on hemodynamics was slight, except a temporary decrease of SVI and GEF just during recruitment maneuver.

[Clinical observational study of anemia in mechanically ventilated patients].
To explore the prognostic effects of anemia among the mechanically ventilated patients. ⋯ The anemic patients had longer ventilator days, hospital stay, higher ICU mortality, and lower rate of survival with unassisted breathing at day 28.
