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.

Multicenter Study Clinical Trial[Application of remifentanil in neurosurgical anesthesia: a multi-center study].
To observe the hemodynamic changes, recovery profiles, and side effects of propofol and remifentanil anesthesia by target controlled infusion (TCI). At different neurosurgical stages in patients undergoing neurosurgical operations. ⋯ When combined with 3 microg/ml propofol, the plasma target-concentrations of remifentanil, 3.0, 3.5, 3.6, and 3.4 ng/ml before skin incision, during skull opening, during intracranial procedure, and at skull closing respectively, can provide rapid induction, faster emergence , and better hemodynamic stability.

[Effects of short-term continuous positive airway pressure treatment on arterial stiffness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To investigate the effect of short-term continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment on the arterial stiffness in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). ⋯ Sleep induces increase of artery stiffness in OSAHS patients, but not in the normal controls. Short-term CPAP may decrease CAVI without affecting the blood pressures. Early atherosclerosis in the patients with OSAHS may be reversed by CPAP therapy.
