Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common and fatal oxidative stress in the lung, mainly induced by endothelial injury and capillary leakage. In our previous study, "Fusu agent", a traditional Chinese medicine, was found to exert preventive effect on endothelial damage in lipopoly-saccharide (LPS)-induced ALI model rats partially via inhibiting heparanase1 (HPA1) activation and inhibiting the inflammatory factors. However, it is still unknown whether Fusu agent exerts its therapeutic effect in LPS-induced ALI model rats and its potential mechanism.

To evaluate the present development and status of quality control for intensive care unit (ICU) in Sichuan Provincial traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospitals including integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine hospitals and ethnic hospitals, and to provide practical references for improving the service quality of ICU.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem that severely affects the quality of life of patients and may even endanger their lives. Although modern medicine has achieved significant results in relieving the clinical manifestations of COPD, it is difficult to prevent its progression and acute exacerbation entirely. As one of the classic aspects of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can improve the clinical efficacy of western medicine in treating COPD. To date, however,there is no high-quality clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of TCM acupoint application directly in preventing acute exacerbation of stable COPD.

A randomized controlled trial for prevention of acute exacerbation of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acupoint application of traditional Chinese medicine: Study protocol clinical trial (SPIRIT Compliant).

Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) involves a severe inflammatory response. Systemic glucocorticoids are very important for the treatment of the acute exacerbation period; however, their use causes serious adverse effects. There is still no evidence on whether traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can be used to reduce the dosage of systemic glucocorticoids in the treatment of patients with AECOPD.

Traditional Chinese medicine may reduce the dosage of systemic glucocorticoids in required patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Study protocol for a randomized placebo-controlled trial.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common disease in critically ill patients that has a high incidence and mortality rate worldwide. At present, there is no specific treatment for ARDS. Traditional Chinese medicine has been shown to have good potential in preventing and treating ARDS, especially in reducing the dosages of Western medicines and therefore, adverse drug reactions. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of integrated Chinese and Western medicine to that of Western medicine alone in the treatment of ARDS.

Evaluation of clinical efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Sepsis is the most common etiology of acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Capillary leakage caused by lung endothelial injury is the central cause of ARDS. The results of research in modern medicine in reducing endothelial damage and restoring endothelial functions are limited. In the previous clinical observations, we found that the Fusu mixture not only improves the clinical symptoms but also reduces the leakage of pulmonary capillaries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of the Fusu mixture combined with Western medicine in the treatment of ARDS caused by sepsis and to explore the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine.

Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is a kind of rapid evaluation of specimen satisfaction, preliminary diagnosis and priority strategy, the diagnostic accuracy of ROSE in the field of pulmonary intervention shows wide variation. The aim of the study was to further clarify the accuracy and diagnostic efficacy of ROSE in interventional pulmonology.

Mechanical ventilation is a powerful tool for the treatment of various critical emergencies. However, surviving critically ill patients often have poor psychological and physiological outcomes. Prevention of various complications and adverse outcomes of mechanical ventilation is a priority and a challenge in the intensive care unit (ICU). Early intervention is the key to reducing complications and improving outcomes of mechanical ventilation in the ICU. As an auxiliary rehabilitation treatment, the improved sitting Wuqinxi intervention has recognized unique advantages. It has achieved beneficial therapeutic effects during early intervention in clinical practice. It can reduce the incidence of delirium, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation, and prevent complications and secondary damages related to mechanical ventilation in the ICU. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to explore the effect of improved sitting Wuqinxi on the clinical outcomes of mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

 Heart failure, especially chronic heart failure, is generally induced by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as the subsequent loss of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) openings and pathological mitochondrial dysfunction. Herein, we explored the therapeutic effects of the Chinese medicine Yangxin Keli (YXXKL) on chronic heart failure and its underlying working mechanism.  To mimic oxidative stress-induced chronic heart failure, a rat heart failure model was induced by the administration of DOX. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to confirm the successful establishment of the heart failure model by observing significantly decreased cardiac function in the rats. Mitochondrial membrane potential, function, and ATP synthesis activity were measured after YXXKL was employed.  The administration of YXXKL not only significantly improved cardiac function but also reversed the myocardium loss and fibrosis induced via DOX. Moreover, the administration of YXXKL also increased ATP synthesis and mitochondrial DNA mass in left ventricular tissues, which indicated that mitochondria may be a key target of YXXKL. Thus, we employed rat cardiomyocyte H9c2 and primary rat cardiac myocytes (RCMs) to induce oxidative stress-induced myocardial injury via DOX treatment. YXXKL-medicated serum promoted cell proliferation, which was inhibited by the addition of IC30 DOX, and the serum also inhibited cell apoptosis, which was promoted by the addition of IC50 DOX. YXKL-medicated serum was able to scavenge ROS and maintain the mitochondrial membrane potential as well as promote mitochondrial function, including the promotion of ATP synthesis, mitochondrial DNA mass, and transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we also observed that YXXKL-medicated serum inhibited DOX-induced autophagy/mitophagy by scavenging ROS.  Taken together, we conclude that YXXKLI may exert therapeutic effects on oxidative stress-related heart failure via the regulation of mitochondria.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is extensively used to treat acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening disease if untreated.

Acute mesenteric ischemia due to percutaneous coronary intervention: A case report.

Kounis syndrome is a hypersensitive coronary artery disease caused by the body's exposure to allergens, which is induced by various drugs and environmental factors. This entity has been described primarily in isolated case reports and case series. We report a case of type III Kounis syndrome caused by cefoperazone-sulbactam.
