Randomized Controlled Trial[The impact of L-carnitine administration on the serum level of myocardium injury markers in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning].
To examine the serum level of myocardial injury markers in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, the correlation between these markers and the severity of the disease, and the therapeutic effects of L-carnitine administration. ⋯ The incidence of abnormal findings in serum myocardial injury markers was positively correlated with HbCO concentration after CO poisoning. L-carnitine may protect the myocardium and striated muscles against injury in patients with CO poisoning.

Comparative Study[Goal-directed renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery].
To compare the efficacy and safety of goal-directed renal replacement therapy(GDRRT) and daily high volume hemofiltration (dHVHF) in the treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. ⋯ For patients with post-cardiac surgery AKI, GDRRT and dHVHF are very similar in terms of short-term survival rate and safety. But GDRRT is superior for renal function recovery and cost saving.

[The sensitivity and accuracy of RIFLE and AKIN criteria for acute kidney injury diagnosis in intensive care unit patients].
To evaluate the sensitivity/accuracy of 2 different acute kidney injury (AKI) diagnosis/classification criteria, the RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss of kidney function, end-stage kidney disease) and the acute kidney injury network (AKIN), for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ Although AKIN criteria has higher sensitivity in AKI diagnosis, it is not different from the RIFLE criteria in predicting hospital mortality in critically ill patients.

[The limitation of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase mass in assess myocardial injury with muscular disease].
To examine the changes in serum MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase mass (CK-MB mass), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and myoglobulin (Mb) in children with myocarditis and muscular disease in order to evaluate the significance of index CK-MB mass for the diagnosis of myocardium injury in these diseases. ⋯ In patients with myocarditis, CK-MB mass and cTnI both follow a consistent pattern of change: elevated in the acute stage of the disease but return to normal after recovery. In patients with muscular diseases, these 2 indexes have different pattern of change. CK-MB mass is significantly higher than control even after the treatment, while cTnI value remain unchanged. Therefore, CK-MB mass has very limited value as an index for myocardial injury in these patients.

[Changes in peripheral dendritic cells in serious burn patients and its clinical significance].
To explore the changes in peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) in serious burn patients and its relationship with the burn severity and pathogenesis of sepsis. ⋯ Both the number of mDC and pDC decrease in peripheral blood in early stage in serious burn patients, and those who have more serious burn have lower number of mDC or pDC. Deficiency in mDCs and pDC subsets may contribute to immunosuppression in burn victims, and those who suffered obvious loss of mDC and pDC are susceptible to sepsis following severe burn. It indicates that the percentage of mDC and pDC can be a predictive index of sepsis after burn.
