[The value of changes in plasma B-type natriuretic peptide before and after spontaneous breathing trial in predicting weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated patients].
To evaluate the value of the change of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in predicting weaning outcome of patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU. ⋯ Either ΔBNP% or ΔBNP in the SBT can predict weaning outcome, in which ΔBNP% seems better than ΔBNP.

[A pilot study of measuring inferior vena cava internal diameter on transverse section plane in different sites by ultrasonography].
To investigate the shape change index (SCI) of inferior vena cava (IVC) measured from subcostal area and right mid-axillary line through ultrasonography laying the foundation for future research about SCI and volume status. ⋯ Inferior vena cava internal diameters and the shape change index measured through ultrasonography on transversal planefrom subcostal area are correlated well with those from mid-axillary line. Measurements from the two sites can be replacedby each other.

[A preliminary study of the significance of autoantibodies against light chain of myeloperoxidase on pulmonary damages in myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis].
To investigate the clinical characteristics of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis (MPO-AAV) with pulmonary injury and the relationship between pulmonary injury and ANCA against light chain of MPO (LCMPO-ANCA). ⋯ Pulmonary injury was relatively common and insidious in patients with MPO-AAV. To monitor ANCA level is necessary in patients with pulmonary injury. LCMPO-ANCA might play an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary lesions in AAV.
