[Protective effect of N-acetylcysteine on acute lung injury caused by exposure to rocket liquid propellant].
To investigate the protective effect and its mechanisms of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on acute lung injury (ALI) caused by exposure to high concentration rocket liquid propellants asymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and dinitrogen tetroxide (N(2)O(4)). ⋯ The administration of NAC appears to attenuate the injury to the lung after an exposure to UDMH and N(2)O(4) in high concentration, and the antioxidant activity of NAC may be responsible for the protective effect.

[Effect of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone on the apoptosis of the vascular endothelial cell of the lung in two-hit acute respiratory distress syndrome in rat].
To investigate the effect of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) on the apoptosis of the vascular endothelial cells of the lung in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reproduced with acute hemorrhagic shock followed by intratracheal lipopolysaccharide (LPS, two-hit model) in rat. ⋯ alpha-MSH could inhibit the apoptosis of the vascular endothelial cells of the lung in the two-hit ARDS in rats. Therefore, it might have a protective effect on the lung after hemorrhagic shock and endotoxin challenge.

[Optimal time window for minimally invasive aspiration and drainage of the hematoma in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage].
To seek the optimal time window for minimally invasive aspiration and drainage of the hematoma in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. ⋯ The aspiration and drainage of the hematoma should be done as early as possible (within 6 hours of the onset) provided that the patients are fit to undergo the surgery.
