Objective To explore prognostic relative factors of different therapy for patients with intracrani-al aneurysm. Methods In 93 intracranial aneurysm patients, 38 cases were managed through craniotomy, in whom the effects of operation time, intraoperative aneurysmal rupture(IAB), temporary arterial occlusion (TAO)on 30-day and 6-month prognosis were investigated; while other 67 cases experienced endovascular treatment,in whom the simi-lar parameters of the different therapy, types of endovascular treatment, and intracranial aneurysm embolization were evaluated. 30 days and 6 months prognosis were regarded as the dependent variable, and SPSS for Windows 11.5 was adopted for data processing. Chi-Square test was performed. Results IAR exerted significant difference to 30 days and 6 months prognosis in patients undergoing craniotomy and clipping, there were 42 intracranial aneurysm, of which 16 aneurysm ruptured (χ2 = 5. 203,10. 886, P < 0.05 ). For patients undergoing endovascular treatment, the new ma-terial application could improve 6 months prognosis, in whom there were totaly 74 intracranial aneurysm, of which 23 aneurysm were managed by the use of old material for endovascular treatment and 51 aneurysm were managed by the use of new material for endovascular treatment(χ2 = 5. 544 and RR = 2. 364,95% CI 1. 197～4.669 ,P < 0.05 ). Un-successful ratio in the endovascular treatment was reduced simultaneously,from 43.5% (old material group) to 18.0% ( now material group) (χ2 = 5. 542,P < 0.05). Conclusions IAR is the important risk factor, which effects 30 days or 6 months prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms managed through craniotomy and clipping. The new material application in the endovascular treatment improves 6 months prognosis, meanwhile unsuccessful ratio in the endovascular treatment is reduced simultaneously.

Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant human growth hormone on prognosis,pulmonary function and immune function in the patients with pulmonary exogenous respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods Eighty-four cases of ARDS were selected and divided into the observation group (n=42) and control group (n=42) according to the random number table.The control group was treated with the routine therapy according to the ARDS Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines,while on this basis the observation group used recombinant human growth hormone for conducting treatment.The treatment time lasted for 7 d.The clinical effects and improvement situation of immune function before and after treatment were recorded in the two groups.Results The Murray acute lung injury score,and acute physiology and chronic health status score (APACHE Ⅱ) after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).The mechanical ventilation time and ICU stay of observation group were shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).The mortality rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).The levels of vital capacity (VC),total lung volume (TLC),forced expiratory vital capacity (FVC),forced expiratory volume of vital capacity (FEV1),forced expiratory vital capacity 1 second (FEV1/FVC) and carbon monoxide (DLCO) after treatment in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ after treatment in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).The levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) after treatment in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Recombinant human growth hormone can effectively improve the pulmonary function in the patients with pulmonary exogenous ARDS,improves the immune function and is conducive to the prognosis of patients.
