Clinical Trial[Diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease-related noncardiac chest pain].
To assess the values of endoscopy, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, symptom index, 24-hour esophageal bile monitoring, and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) trail in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-related noncardiac chest pain (NCCP). ⋯ Combination of endoscopy, 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring, SI, and 24-hour esophageal bile monitoring helped to improve the diagnosis of GERD-related NCCP. PPI trail is the first clinical diagnostic tool in the evaluation of GERD-related NCCP.

[Association between urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery].
To test the hypothesis that Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an early biomarker for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. ⋯ The incidence of AKI in patients after cardiac surgery is high, which accounted for 27%. The amount of NGAL and NGAL/Ucr in urine at 2 h after cardiac surgery were the powerful independent predictor of acute renal injury and urine concentrations of NGAL/Ucr is more sensitive.
