Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[A comparison of remifentanil versus sufentanil with target-controlled infusion in combined inhalation anesthesia for surgical patients: effects on hemodynamics and postoperative recovery].
To compare the effect of remifentanil versus sufentanil with target-controlled infusion in combination with inhalation anesthesia for surgical patients on the parameters of hemodynamics and postoperative recovery. ⋯ When combined with inhalation anesthesia, the effects on hemodynamics are similar between the patients receiving the target-controlled infusions of remifentanil and sufentanil. Remifentanil offers a shorter time to recovery of spontaneous breathing and tracheal extubation.

Comparative Study[Causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-related death and influencing factors of survival time].
To study the causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related death and influencing factors of survival time from first hospitalization due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). ⋯ The major cause of death in moderate-severe COPD patients is respiratory disease. complicated with coronary artery disease & severe pulmonary hypertension, age, BMI and serum level of CRP are the independent risk factors of affecting the survival time from first hospitalization due to AECOPD.

[Gender difference in association between smoking and metabolic risks among community adults].
Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance. However, whether a smoker has a lesser waist circumference (WC) and whether the potential changes in WC may reduce the benefits of smoking cessation remains in dispute. The aims of this study are to re-examines the relationships between smoking and metabolic risk factors by the data from Beijing adults. ⋯ Although smokers tend to have a lower waist circumference than nonsmokers, the males have higher risk factors for metabolic disorders. There is no significant relationship between smoking and metabolic syndrome in female subjects.

[Atherosclerotic stenosis of intracranial and extracranial cerebral arteries in patients with cerebral infarction and the correlative factors].
To investigate the distribution of atherosclerotic stenosis of cerebral arteries in Chinese patients suffered from cerebral infarction, and to determine if there are any factors correlating with intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis. ⋯ The occurrence of stenosis in intracranial arteries is more frequent than that in extracranial arteries in Chinese patients with cerebral infarction, and the lipid level is higher in the intracranial artery group, most risk factors of atherosclerosis may not be major determinants of location for cerebral atherosclerosis.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[A comparison of target controlled versus manually controlled infusion of propofol in elderly patients].
To evaluate the impact of anesthesia via target-controlled infusion (TCI) on drug consumption, intraoperative hemodynamic stability and recovery compared with manual-controlled infusion (MCI) in elderly patients. ⋯ Although target infusion system is easy to use and requires less time of adjustment, it fails to show added benefit on propofol consumption, hemodynamic stability, anesthesia depth and recovery in elderly patients.
