[Logistic regression analysis of the risk factors for difficult airway and the cut-off value of height-to-thyromental distance ratio].
To analyze the risk factors for difficult airway in laryngoscopy and mask ventilation. ⋯ Eight airway characteristics were identified to contribute to a difficult airway, including (OR [95%CI]) the height-to-TMD ratio (3.58[1.95-8.46]), modified Mallampati class (3.34 [1.82-7.14]), BMI (3.07 [1.64-6.69]), history of a previous difficult airway (2.79 [1.28-5.25]), a thick neck (2.15 [1.04-4.37]), range of neck movement (1.98 [0.96-3.89]), sternomental and angulus mandibulae distance (1.46 [0.67-3.04]), and inter-incisor distance (1.01 [0.49-2.54]). The optimal cut-off value for the height-to-TMD ratio was 22.8 for predicting a difficult airway.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Effects of small-dose lidocaine combined with ketamine on early postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery].
To observe the effects of anesthetic intervention with small-dose lidocaine and ketamine on early postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing surgeries for gastrointestinal tumors. ⋯ Intravenous injection of small-dose lidocaine and ketamine during the operation can reduce the incidence of POCD in elderly patients undergoing surgeries for gastrointestinal tumors possibly in relation to decreased serum S-100β, NSE and IL-6 levels.

[Effects of continuous blood purification on extravascular lung water and respiratory function in patients with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome].
To assess the effects of continuous blood purification (CBP) on extravascular lung water and respiratory function in patients with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDSexp). ⋯ CBP can reduce EVLWI and PVPI, improve pulmonary compliance and oxygenation, and reduce mortality rate in patients with ARDSexp.

[Construction of a online database for functional dyspepsia].
To establish a clinical database of functional dyspepsia for epidemiological researches and standardizing clinical diagnosis and treatment. ⋯ The established online database for functional dyspepsia contained data of the general information, clinical symptoms, psychological status, living habits, dietary habits, medical history, examination results, clinical diagnosis, treatment methods and courses, outcomes and data statistics. The database was fully functional and provided complete and standardized data of functional dyspepsia for clinical studies.

[Effect of suppressing apoptosis signal regulating kinase 1 on GFAP and vimentin expression and hindlimb mobility in rats after spinal cord injury].
To investigate the effect of suppressing apoptosis signal regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) on glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin expressions at the injury site and on hindlimb mobility in rats after spinal cord injury (SCI). ⋯ Blocking ASK1 can inhibit the expression of GFAP and vimentin in glial scars and improve the outcomes of hindlimb mobility in rats after SCI.
