[A survey of ankle-brachial index among natural population in Shanghai and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region].
To investigate epidemiological characteristics and differences in ankle-brachial index (ABI) among the natural population in Shanghai and Inner Mongolia, and to observe the prevalence of lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). ⋯ The ABI value in Shanghai is higher than that in Inner Mongolia and the prevalence of lower extremity PAD in both males and females in Shanghai is significantly higher than that in Inner Mongolia. But they are lower than the level of western countries. In different age groups, the difference of the prevalence of lower extremity PAD between Shanghai and Inner Mongolia is only displayed in the age group of < 50 years, which may be related to the limited sample size. The natural population in Shanghai exposed artery atherosclerotic disease risk factors may increase and we need to pay more attention to the lower extremity PAD.

Meta Analysis Comparative Study[The effects and safety of closed versus open tracheal suction system: a meta analysis].
To evaluate the effects and safety of closed tracheal suction system(CTSS) versus open tracheal suction system (OTSS) for mechanically ventilated patients. ⋯ Compared with OTSS, CTSS could reduce disturbance to respiratory and circulatory system by sputum suction and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation. However, CTSS has no advantage in prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia or microbial colonization, nor does it shorten the length of ICU stay or improve the outcome of mechanically ventilated patients.

[The value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein measurement in discriminating intestinal ischemia in patients with acute abdomen].
To assess the differential diagnostic value of serum intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) in distinguishing intestinal ischemia patients from acute abdomen patients. ⋯ I-FABP is potentially useful for discriminating intestinal ischemia from acute abdomen.

Randomized Controlled Trial[The effect of stress dose glucocorticoid on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome combined with critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency].
To investigate the effect of stress dose glucocorticoid on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) combined with critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI). ⋯ Stress dose glucocorticoid could reduce shock incidence and prolong survival time, and has a tendency of lower 28-day mortality in early ARDS patients combined with CIRCI.

Comparative Study[The diagnostic values of Wells score and modified Geneva score for pretesting acute pulmonary embolism: a prospective study].
To assess the diagnostic predictive value of Wells score and modified Geneva score for acute pulmonary embolism by prospective case series and to explore a more suitable scoring system for Chinese population. ⋯ The Wells score is more accurate for clinical predicting acute PE than the modified Geneva score.
