Controlled Clinical Trial[Relationships between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in lung tissues of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To evaluate the correlation between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in lung tissues of patients with COPD. ⋯ There was a significant correlation between over-expression of ICAM-1 and TIMP-land MMP-9 in lung tissues from COPD patients. Over-expressions of ICAM-1 in the lung may result in accumulation of inflammatory cells releasing certain inflammatory factors that could destroy the normal lung structure. In addition, highly expressed TIMP-1 and MMP-9 in lung tissues may also contribute to the destruction and reconstitution of the bronchial or/and alveolar wall, which is likely to play a major role in airway obstruction.

[The effects of auto-triggering on patient-ventilator interaction in noninvasive mechanical ventilation during air leak].
To study the relationship between air leak and auto-triggering in noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), and the effects of auto-triggering on patient-ventilators interaction. ⋯ Auto-triggering occurred when air leak increased in NIPPV. The insufficient compensation of flow base line may be the cause for auto-triggering. Auto-triggering can impair patients ventilation.

[Anterior radical debridement and bone grafting with one-stage instrumentation anteriorly or posteriorly for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis].
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of anterior radical debridement and autologous ilium or titanium cage interbody autografting with one-stage instrumentation anteriorly or posteriorly for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar tuberculosis. ⋯ The method of anterior radical debridement and interbody grafting with one-stage instrumentation anteriorly or posteriorly was effective for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis.
