Objective To investigate the effect of nifedipine on brain edema and neurological function in patients with cerebral hemorrhage . Methods 72 patients with ICH from October 2013 to October 2015 in our hospital were selected, and randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 36 cases in each group.The control group used dehydration to reduce intracranial hypertension, improve cerebral circulation, promote nutritional metabolism and anti infection and other conventional treatment,and the experimental group daily intravenous infusion of 1.0 mg of nifedipine on the basis of control group, a course of ten days.The activity dependence, clinical efficacy, MESS score, ICH score, BI score, brain hematoma and brain edema volume were observed and compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results After treatment, the activity dependence of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P <0.05 );the clinical effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).BI scores of both groups were increased after treatment, MESS scores were reduced(P<0.05);The BI score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05),and the MESS score was significantly lower than that of the control group (P <0.05).The volume of cerebral hematoma and the volume of cerebral edema were significantly reduced after treatment in both groups (P<0.05),there was no significant difference in the volume of cerebral hematoma between two groups,there was significant difference in the volume of cerebral edema between two groups (P <0.05).Conclusion Nifedipine can effectively reduce cerebral edema in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, reduce the degree of neurological deficit, improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To study the diagnosis,management and prognosis of persistent m?llerian duct syndrome (PMDS). Methods 2 cases of PMDS associated with transverse testicular ectopia were reported.Clinically there was azoospermia or testis tumor.Corporeal hysterectomy and orchidopexy were performed and the testis tumor was excised. Results Vascular supply and hormonal function of the testis were normal in both 2 patients after 2 year's follow up. Conclusions PMDS is an inherited male pseudohermaphroditism. Every effort should be made to preserve the testis and its fertility function when surgical management is needed.The possible development of testis tumor should be kept in mind and closely observed.

Objective To investigate the effect of exercise on calcium modulin in myocardial sarcoplasmic re-ticulum of animal type 1 diabetes model in rat. Methods A total of 40 Spragne-Dawley rats were randomly dividedinto 4 groups : a normal control group, an exercise training group, a diabetes group and a diabetes plus exercise-traininggroup. At the end of 4- week-exercise training after the establishment of the diabetes model by intraperitoncal injectionof sterptozotocin, the animals were sacrificed and the level of blood glucose, insulin, blood fat and glycosylated serumprotein were tested. The gene expression of calcium modulin proteins was measured by reverse transcription-polymerasechain reaction, and the Western blotting technique was used to measure the protein of sarcoplasmic endoplasmic reticu-lure Ca<'2+> -ATPase (SERCA2) and phaspholamban (PLB). Results The level of biochemical indicator of exercisegroup is not affected when comparing with that of the control group, but significantly changed in diabetic group ( P <0. 01 ) ; The level of blood glucose, insulin, blood fat and glycosylated serum protein were ameliorated in diabetic rats inthe exercise training group. No significant changes in mRNA level of SERCA2, PLB and ryanodine receptor type 2(RYR2) were observed between control and diabetic group, the same to protein expression of SERCA2 and PLB. Butexpression of calcium modulin mRNA was significantly increased in exercise group and diabetic rats in the exercisetraining group comparing with that of the control and diabetic groups ( P < 0.01 ), the same to protein expression ofSERCA2 and PLB. Conclusion Exercise exerted good protective effects on the myocardial injury with 1 type diabetesrat, which might attribute to the upregnlated expression of SERCA2, PLB and RYR2 in diabetic rat heart.

Objective To analyze prognostic factors of surgical treatment for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer,in order to provide a theoretic basis for improving the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods Clinical data of 145 elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer who had received surgical treatment at our hospital from January 2012 to September 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The survival rates of patients were investigated.Results The median survival time was 31.5 months,and 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates were 61.4%,45.5% and 40%,respectively.Single factor analysis showed that lesion size,number of metastatic lymph nodes,clinical stage,pathological type and radiotherapy were among the factors affecting prognosis.Multiple COX regression analysis showed that a lesion size >3cm,number of lymph nodes with metastasis > 2 and pathological type were independent risk factors for patient prognosis,and radiotherapy was a protective factor for prognosis.Conclusions Surgical treatment has good curative effects on non-small cell lung cancer in elderly patients.Lesion size,number of lymph nodes with metastasis,pathological type and radiotherapy are important factors affecting prognosis,and can be used for prognosis assessment.

Objective To compare the incidence of cardiopulmonary complications between treatment of video assisted thoracoscopic operation and traditional thoracotomy operation in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 122 cases of elderly patients with non small cell lung cancer were treated in our hospital from Mar 2010 to Jun 2014,and randomly divided into observation group (therapeutic lobectomy by video assisted thoracoscopic operation) and control group (therapeutic lobectomy by traditional thoracotomy operation) (n=61,each).The postoperative cardiopulmonary complications and relevant indexes of cardiopulmonary function were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results Before operation,there was no significant difference in the relevant indexes of cardiopulmonary function between the two groups (P>0.05).After operation,the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and maximal ventilatory volume (MMV) were higher and the heart rate was lower in observation group than in control group (t=3.682,2.243,5.677,all P<0.05).The incidence of cardiopulmonary complication was lower in observation group than in control group (13.1% vs.27.9%,x2 =4.075,P=0.044).Conclusions Video assisted thoracoscopic operation is better for the recovery of cardiopulmonary function,and can reduce cardiopulmonary complication in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
