[Changes in serum electrolyte levels after seawater immersion of open abdominal wound and drowning in dogs].
To assess the effects of seawater immersion of open abdominal wound and drowning on plasma electrolyte levels in dogs. ⋯ Twenty-one dogs with open abdominal wounds were randomly divided into 3 groups, namely the control group (n=7), seawater immersion group (n=7) and seawater immersion and drowning group (n=7). The dogs in the control group were subjected to simple open abdominal wound, and those in the latter two groups were immersed into seawater after the abdominal injury. The changes in the plasma electrolytes and osmotic pressure were observed after the treatments. RESULTS AMD CONCLUSION: Seawater immersion of the open abdominal wound results in hypematremia, hyperkalemia and hypertonic dehydration, and the effect is proportional to the length of immersion time, but seawater airway perfusion does not cause obvious changes of the plasma electrolytes and osmotic pressure in dogs.

[Minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis for treatment of proximal humerus fractures with PHILOS plate].
To investigate the effect of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) for treatment of proximal humerus fractures with PHILOS plate. ⋯ PHILOS using MIPPO shows good results for treating proximal humerus fractures.

[Estimation of spike wave reduction in electrocorticography for predicting the outcomes of epilepsy surgery].
To investigate spike wave reduction in electrocorticography (EcoG) monitoring for evaluating the outcomes of epilepsy surgery. ⋯ For extra-temporal lobe epilepsy, a postoperative spike wave reduction beyond 80% indicate favorable outcome of the surgery, otherwise poor prognosis is expected. But in cases of temporal lobe epilepsy, no direct association is found between spike wave reduction and the prognosis of the patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Effect of invasive and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation on plasma brain natriuretic peptide in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and severe respiratory failure].
To investigate the change in plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe respiratory failure receiving invasive or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. ⋯ Invasive ventilation produces better effect than non-invasive ventilation in the treatment of COPD with severe respiratory failure. Plasma concentrations of BNP has significant clinical value to evaluate the effect of mechanical ventilation.

[Alterations of peripheral blood T cell subsets in patients with sepsis and the clinical implications].
To observe the dynamic changes of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with sepsis and discuss the clinical significance. ⋯ Immune imbalance occurs in patients with sepsis represented by lowered CD3+ and CD4+T lymphocyte percentages and CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio in relation to the severity of the condition. CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratio can be used as the indicators for assessing the severity of sepsis.
