[The clinical significance of Aspergillus isolation from airway samples in critically ill patients].
To analyze the risk factors and clinical significance of Aspergillus isolation from airway samples of critically ill patients. ⋯ Critically ill patients with Aspergillus from airway samples had a higher mortality. Connective tissue diseases, hepatic dysfunction, corticosteroid use and CRRT were significantly associated with Aspergillus spp. isolation in critically ill patients. In severely ill patients, the isolation of Aspergillus is highly indicative of infection rather than colonization.

[Diagnostic values of the clinical characteristics of chronic cough].
To evaluate whether the clinical characteristics of chronic cough were helpful in determining its specific causes. ⋯ The timing character and some associated symptoms of chronic cough are useful in predicting a single cause.

[The quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and correlated factors].
To evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and correlated factors. ⋯ The QOL in patients with COPD was impaired and associated with scores of dyspnea, severity of COPD, comorbidities and BMI. Improvement of dyspnea, nutritional support, prevention of comorbidities and keeping away from risk factors may improve the QOL in COPD patients.

[Changes of the sodium channel in alveolar type II cells in pulmonary water transport in rats with oleic acid-induced acute lung injury].
To determine the capability of alveolar fluid clearance and the changes of sodium channel in alveolar type II cells (ATII) in oleic acid-induced acute lung injury. ⋯ The capacity of alveolar fluid clearance was attenuated in oleic acid-induced acute lung injury. The ENaC subunit mRNA levels of ATII cells were significantly decreased in ALI rats.

Comparative Study[A comparison of the predictive values of three clinical scoring systems for suspected acute pulmonary embolism based on multidetector CT angiography].
To explore whether acute pulmonary embolism (APE) can be quantitatively predicated early with 3 clinical scoring systems, with multidetector CT angiography (MDCTA) as the gold standard, and therefore to select a scoring system more suitable for the Chinese. ⋯ The 3 scoring systems can be used for both inpatients and emergency cases, while the Wells Score may be more accurate for Chinese people for predicting APE.
