Randomized Controlled Trial[The efficacy and safety of low-dose tiotropium bromide inhaled via Respimat® in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
To compare the efficacy and safety of long-term treatment (48 weeks) with tiotropium bromide (5 µg) via Respimat(®) with placebo in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). ⋯ Tiotropium significantly improved lung function and quality of life, delayed the time to first exacerbation, reduced the number of exacerbation. Overall, tiotropium was well tolerated.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Evaluation of the application of regional citrate anticoagulation in sustained low efficiency hemodialysis].
To compare the anticoagulation effect of regional citrate and heparin in patients with sustained low-efficiency hemodialysis (SLED). ⋯ The anticoagulation effect of regional citrate and heparin was similar in patients when receiving SLED.Regional citrate may be an alternative anticoagulant approach for the patients at high risk of bleeding who require the treatment of SLED.

Multicenter Study[The 10-year stroke risk in hypertensive outpatients combined with diabetes in cardiovascular clinics of 36 tertiary hospitals in China].
To assess the estimated 10-year risk of stroke among hypertensive outpatients known with diabetes from cardiovascular clinics of 36 tertiary hospitals in China and to analyze the characteristics of the risk factors and the 10-year risk of stroke between the southern and the northern patients. ⋯ Among the hypertensive outpatients known with diabetes from the cardiovascular clinics of our study, most of them were at the 10-year high risk of stroke. The southern patients had a higher mean 10-year probability of stroke than that of the northern patients.

[A long-term outcome study of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery].
To evaluate the long-term outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization after cardiac surgery. ⋯ AKI is common after cardiac surgery, which was associated with a decrease in the 2-year survival rate and an increase in the incidence of advanced CKD of patients, which emphasized the importance of prevention and treatment of AKI, and close follow-up of renal function for the improvement of patient long-term prognosis.

Comparative Study[Inferior vena cava diameter and variability on longitudinal plane measured through ultrasonography from different sites: a comparison study].
To investigate the inferior vena cava internal diameter (IVCID) and inferior vena cava variability (IVCV) on longitudinal plane measured from subcostal area and right mid-axillary line through ultrasonography and to find out if the measuring site and different respiratory status were related to the IVCID and IVCV. ⋯ Inferior vena cava internal diameter and variability measured longitudinally through ultrasonography from subcostal area is different with measurements from right mid-axillary line. Measurements from the two sites are not replaceable with each other. Further studies are needed before the clinical use of inferior vena cava internal diameter and variability measured from right mid-axillary line.
