Randomized Controlled Trial[The effect of mild sedation on the prognosis and inflammatory markers in critical patients with mechanical ventilation].
To compare the effect of slight and usual sedation on the prognosis and inflammatory marker levels in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in ICU. ⋯ Slight sedation was shown to reduce the length of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay. It also decreased the levels of inflammatory markers while didn't increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

[Diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin in identifying the etiology of non-responding community-acquired pneumonia after initial antibiotic therapy].
This study was to investigate the diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin(PCT) in identifying the etiology of non-responding community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) after initial antibiotic therapy. ⋯ Antibiotic failure to cover the microbial pathogens, infectious complications and misdiagnosis are the most common causes of early treatment failure in patients with CAP. Serum PCT level fails to predict non-responsiveness, but is suggestive of bacterial infections in hospitalized CAP patients with early treatment failure.

[Clinical investigation of detecting the bronchi responsible for pulmonary air leakage by injecting methylene blue saline in 27 cases with intractable pneumothorax and bronchial fistula].
To establish a new method for detecting the bronchus responsible for pulmonary air leakage by injecting methylene blue saline and to evaluate its efficacy and safety in cases with intractable pneumothorax and bronchial fistula. ⋯ The bronchi responsible for pulmonary air leakage in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax and bronchial fistula could be determined by injecting methylene blue saline into the airways. This novel method does not require special instruments, and is easy to perform with a high safety and effectiveness.
