[Metalloproteinase-9/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 in induced sputum in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and their relationship to airway inflammation and airflow limitation].
To investigate the levels of metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in induced sputum in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and its relationship to the number of inflammation cells and lung function. ⋯ An imbalance between MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in induced sputum in asthmatics and COPD is associated with airway inflammation and airflow limitation, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of extracellular matrix remodeling and airflow limitation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparison of the effects of BiPAP ventilation combined with lung recruitment maneuvers and low tidal volume A/C ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome].
To compare the effects of BiPAP ventilation combined with lung recruitment maneuvers (LRM) with low tidal volume A/C ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ The results show that combination of LRM with BiPAP mode ventilation, as compared with the control group, contributes to improved FiO2/PaO2 ratio, pulmonary compliance, stable hemodynamic and shorter duration of ventilation support in patients with ARDS.

[Value of the clinical pulmonary infection score for the prognosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia].
To prospectively evaluate the performance of the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) and its prognostic value for early onset ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). ⋯ Serial measurement of CPIS is valuable in predicting the severity of illness and evaluating the effect of therapy and prognosis.
