[Clinical investigation of high-intensity zone in anterior annulus fibrosus of lumbar disc: compared with high-intensity zone in posterior annulus fibrosus].
To explore the prevalence, distribution and clinical significance of high-intensity zone (HIZ) in anterior annulus fibrosus (AF) in comparison with HIZ in posterior AF of lumbar disc. ⋯ Compared with HIZ in posterior AF, the HIZ in anterior AF of lumbar disc has a lower prevalence, often develops in elder patients and in upper motion segments.

[Prospective research on the prognosis of septic shock based on the change of lactate concentration in arterial blood].
To evaluate the correlation between the lactate in artery blood and lactate clearance rate and prognosis in patients with septic shock in intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ Dynamic observation of lactate level is very important for the survival in the patients with septic shock. Patients with elevated lactate and not decreased rapidly have a worse outcome. The 6-hour lactate clearance rate might be the indicator for predicting the prognosis of patients with septic shock.
