Sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE) caused by infections outside the central nervous system always presents extensive brain damage.It is common in clinical practice and associated with a poor prognosis.There are problems in the assessing and diagnosing of SAE.Many factors,such as sedation and mechanical ventilation,make it difficult to assess SAE,while electrophysiological examination may play a role in the assessment.We reviewed the studies of electrophysiological techniques such as electroencephalography and somatosensory evoked potentials for monitoring SAE,hoping to provide certain evidence for the clinical evaluation and diagnosis of SAE.

Pheochromocytoma is a rare, but an important cause of surgically curable hypertension. Pheochromocytoma is a highly vascular tumor and not infrequently undergoes hemorrhagic necrosis and pseudocyst formation. Such cystic pheochromocytoma may be accompanied by shock and sepsis and commonly invade adjacent organs, in which cases its diagnosis and management may be difficult. Herein we present a case of adrenal cystic pheochromocytoma which was accompanied by sepsis and hypertension and mimicked pararenal abscess with a review of literatures.

Early diagnosis of sepsis helps make effective clinical decisions and improve the survival rate of patients with severe infection. However, the timely and accurate diagnosis of sepsis is still a great challenge in clinic. In order to settle the very problem, the scientists in the world have made a lot of exploration and research in the field of rapid molecular identification of pathogens. Nowadays, the nucleic acid detection of sepsis is mainly composed of 3 types of methodological strategies, either based on positive blood culture, single colonies, or directly on blood specimens. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of advances in the research of early detection of bacterial nucleic acid as molecular diagnosis of sepsis.

8.Diagnosis and comprehensive management of sepsis after burn.
Chinese Journal of Burns 2013;29(2):105-108
Sepsis induced by invasive infection is a challenging problem and the major cause of death after severe burn. With the increasing understanding of sepsis, diagnostic criteria of sepsis were proposed and revised consecutively so that they could be consistent with the clinical practice. Being different from other trauma and critical diseases, diagnostic criteria of sepsis after severe burn were also proposed, and they need further clinical verification. It is believed that comprehensive measures for the treatment of severe sepsis after burn should be advocated. These measures include rapid and effective resuscitation of burn shock, early escharotomy and closure of burn wound, metabolic support, immunoregulation and anti-inflammation, reinforcement of organ support, etc. Although a number of advances have been achieved in the past decades, the mechanism of sepsis need further elucidation, diagnostic criteria of sepsis need further revision, and novel therapeutic measures for burn sepsis should be developed.

9.Clinical characteristics and diagnosis of sepsis in pediatric burn patients.
Chinese Journal of Burns 2013;29(1):1-3
Pediatric burn patients account for more than 1/3 of the inpatients in the same period, and its incidence surpasses that of burn patients in other age groups. However, it brings about much difficulty to treat pediatric burn patients complicated by sepsis, which brings a significantly higher mortality than that of the adult. Moreover, the physiological characteristics, development of organs, drug metabolism, and body response to burn injury in children are obviously different from those of the adult. Therefore, it is clinically important to understand the clinical characteristics of sepsis in pediatric burn patients in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this ailment.

Neonatal sepsis is a major contributing factor for increased mortality and morbidity in the newbron and its successful outcome depends on early detection and prompt institution of an effective antimic robial therapy. Accurate diagnosis of the neonatal septicemia, however, is quite difficult because its early signs and symptoms are rather subtle. This study was conducted in an attempt to search for useful early markers for the clinical entity A total of 224 newborns, over a 17 month pcriod (1/90 5/91), who were evaluated for probable neonatal sepsis were analysed. The laboratory parameters that showed highest correlation with bacteriologically proves sopsis were as follows: Total WBC counts (<5,000/mm), Band/Total ncutrophils(>0.2), elevated ESR(>15mm/hr), CRP(>6ng/ml). Of the 224 study subjects, 41 had two or more parameters of which 12 subjects had positive blood cultures(positive predictive value:29%), only 4 of the 183 newborns who had less than 2 parameters had positive blood cultures(false negative:2%). It is concluded that the presence of two or more of the above parameters can be used as a strong indicator for neonatal sepsis and its sensitivity is 75% while specificity is 86%.
