[Daytime hypercapnia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
To evaluate the incidence and factors related to daytime CO2 retention (PaCO2 ≥ 45 mm Hg, 1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) in Chinese patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome. ⋯ Hypercapnia occurs in a large part of patients with OSAHS and normal FEV1/FVC. BMI, nocturnal hypoxemia and daytime PaO2 level are all contributed to the development of daytime CO2 retention in OSAHS.

Comparative Study[Single-breath and rebreathing methods for measurement of pulmonary diffusing function: a comparative study].
To compare the difference of pulmonary diffusing capacity measured by single-breath (SB) and re-breathing (RB) in normal subjects, patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ⋯ There were differences between re-breathing and single-breath in measuring diffusing capacity. The present predicted value of the re-breathing method needed further study to confirm its applicability. Re-breathing method was more consistent with the respiratory physiology, and might be a better method to detect diseased states.

[Heart-type fatty acid binding protein for the assessment of the short-term prognosis in acute pulmonary embolism patients with hemodynamic stability on admission].
To explore the clinical value of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) for the assessment of the short-term prognosis in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients with hemodynamic stability on admission. ⋯ H-FABP, alone or in combination with other clinical data may predict 30-day prognosis in APE patients with hemodynamic stability on admission. H-FABP is superior to cTnI and NT-proBNP in the predication of 30-day prognosis in APE patients with hemodynamic stability on admission.
