Five cases of pituitary apoplexy were reported and the literature was reviewed in clinical aspects. Our diagnosis criteria consisted of 1. sudden onset of maked visual impairment, bitemporal hemianopsia ,severe headache, yore-Ring, etc; 2. with or without a history of pituitary adenoma, but radiological examinations suggest evidences of pituitary apoplexy; 3. exeluding cases with asymptomatic hemorrhage verified at operation. CT scan, treatment with corticosteroids and craniotomy or transsphenoidal decompression will lead a successful outcome in most cases of pituitary apoplexy. One case in this series died of herniation, the prognosis of other four patients was satisfactory.

Objective:To compare therapeutic effect and safety between atorvastatin and simvastatin treating angina pectoris of coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods:A total of 150 patients with chronic stable angina pectoris (SAP)of CHD were selected and randomly and equally divided into atorvastatin group and simvastatin group accord-ing to number table method.Changes of angina pectoris attack frequency,duration,degree of pain,nitroglycerin dosage and blood lipids were compared between two groups before and after treatment.All patients were followed up six months.Results:Compared with before treatment,there were significant reductions in angina pectoris attack frequency,duration,pain degree and nitroglycerin dosage after treatment 12 weeks in two groups,P<0.05 all;but there were no significant difference in above indexes between two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05 all). Compared with before treatment,there were significant reductions in serum levels of total cholesterol [ (5.62 ± 0.54)mmol/L vs.(3.68±0.41)mmol/L,(5.78±0.56)mmol/L vs.(3.33±0.43)mmol/L],triglyceride [(2.30 ±0.42)mmol/L vs.(1.62±0.34)mmol/L,(2.35±0.41)mmol/L vs.(1.68±0.69)mmol/L]and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(3.56±1.22)mmol/L vs.(2.76±0.83)mmol/L,(3.48±1.21)mmol/L vs.(2.43± 0.72)mmol/L],and significant increase in level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol [(1.32±0.35)mmol/L vs. (1.58±0.34)mmol/L,(1.30±0.46)mmol/L vs.(1.60±0.45)mmol/L]in atorvastatin group and simvastatin group after treatment (P<0.05 all),but there were no significant difference in blood lipid levels between two groups after treatment (P>0.05);there was no significant difference in incidence rate of cardiovascular events (28.00% vs.25.33%,P>0.05)between two groups during follow-up.Conclusion:Both atorvastatin and simvasta-tin can effectively regulate the state of high blood lipid,and possess good effect and safety for angina pectoris of coronary heart disease.

Objective:To evaluate clinical significance of change of serum thyroid hormone level in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and old myocardial infarction (OMI) .Methods :Clinical data of 52 STE‐MI patients (STEMI group) and 48 OMI patients (OMI group) hospitalized in our department of cardiology were retrospectively analyzed .Automatic chemiluminescent analyzer was used to quantitatively measure thyroid hormone levels in two groups .Results:Compared with OMI group ,there were significant reductions in serum levels of free triiodothyronine [FT3 ,(4.45 ± 1.09) pmol/L vs .(3.03 ± 0.14) pmol/L] ,free thyroxine [FT4 ,(18.53 ± 3.89) pmol/L vs .(11.83 ± 0.53) pmol/L] and thyrotropic‐stimulating hormone [TSH ,(1.85 ± 1.04)μIU/L vs .(0.26 ± 0.13)μIU/L] in STEMI group ,P<0.01 all .Conclusion:Thyroid hormone levels of STEMI patients are significant‐ly higher than those of OMI patients , serum thyroid hormone levels may reflect severity of coronary vessel lesions in patients with myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of tolterodine plus tamsulosin in rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)induced low urinary tract syndrome(LUTS).Methods Male rats were castrated,then testosterone propionate were given by subcutaneous injection to induce BPH/LUTS model.Model rats were intragastrically administrated with 0.4mg/kg of tolterodine,0.04mg/kg of tamsulosin or(0.4+0.04)mg/kg of tolterodine plus tamsulosin for 14 days and urodynamics,residual urine volume and volume of bladder were mearsured.Results Tolterodine plus tamsulosin could simultaneously shorten the micturition duration,prolong the interval duration between micturition,decrease the threshold intravesical pressure at micturition and the max intravesical Pressure at micturition significantly.The combined-therapy method could also decrease the residual urine volume to a certein extent and had no obvious influence on enlarging the volume of bladder(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Combination treatment with tolterodine and tamsulosin may efficiently ameliorate bladder outlet obstrution and overactive bladder simultaneously,with no extra danger of uroschesis.

Gabapentin may bind the ? 2? subunit of the voltage -dependent calcium ion channels at the postsynaptic dorsal horn and interrupt t he series of events possibly leading to the experience of a neuropathic pain sen sation. Many clinical studies have clearly demonstrated the efficacy of gabapent in in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Gabapenti n is considered an effective drug with its minimal side effects and drug interac tions in the management of neuropathic pain syndromes.

Although there are a number of shortcomings with these animal models, they provide important clues in understanding the underlying pathophysiology of neuropathic pain in humans. In these models, cutaneous sensory threshold of the hindlimb ipsilateral to nerve injury is measured. The presence of neuropathic pain in experimental animal models is mainly measured as allodynia or hyperalgesia, in which the normally nonnoxious or mildly noxious stimuli induce a nociceptive behavioral response. This paper mainly discusses the recent findings from the peripheral nerve injury model of neuropathic pain, as well as the different characteristics of these animal models of neuropathic pain.

objective To study the changes of reticulocyte micronueleus(MN-RET)from peripherai blood and polychromatic erythrocyte mieronucleUS(MN-PCE)from bone marrow in mice following exposure to X-rays in order to provide an experimental basis for exploring possible hish-throughput radiation biodosimeter.Methods Male ICR mice were whole-body irradiated with 0,0.5,1,2,4 and 5 Gy at a dose rate of 0.488 Gy/min.MN-RET from peripheral blood wag scored with FCM and MN-PCE from bone marrow was scored with manual microscopy at 24,48 and 72 h post-irradiation.Results Both MN-RET and MN-PCE rates increaged with doses in the range of 0-5 Gy at 24,48 and 72 h after WBI.The dose-response relationship can be fit with linear equations(t=10.26-25.77,P<0.05).The correlation coeffcients between MN-RET from peripheral blood and MN-PCE from bone mallow were highly significant(r=0.986-0.996,P<0.05).Conclusions In view of its simplicity,accuracy and high throughput capacity,FCM scoring of peripheral blood MN-RET may be a candidate for radiation biodosimetry,More work should be carried out on human specimens to investigate this possibility.

This study was aimed to investigate the theoretical basis of Jian-Shen Li-Shui (JSLS) formula. Knowledge
of acute phase of cerebral hemorrhage in ancient Chinese medicine literature, modern pathophysiology theories, experimental researches and clinical results were studied, in order to discuss theoretical basis of JSLS formula. The results showed that JSLS formula embodied basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and experiences of physicians from different generations. It also reflected modern pharmacology research results. It was supported by animal experiments and clinical research results. It was concluded that JSLS formula was in accordance with essence of TCM syndrome differentiation. There were enough evidences for the formation of the formula. It was worthy of further study.

Objective To explore the near-term therapeutic effect and long-term result of stereotactie surgery in treatment of moderate hypertensive intraeerebral hemorrhage and discuss related problems of the surgery.Methods 60 cases of moderate hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into two groups at random.30 cases treated by stereotactie surgery,the others treated by nonsurgical method, the near-term rebleeding rate, mortality rate and longterm living quality of the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results There were no statistical differences in rebleeding rate and mortality rate between the two groups( all P >0.05 ).The long-term result indicated that there was statistical difference in GOS grades between the two groups( P <0.05).The surgical group had better result than nonsurgical group.Conclusion The patients suffered for moderate hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage treated by stereotsefic surgery had better long-term therapeutic effect than those treated by nonsurgical method.
