Objective To investigate the clinical effect of butylphthalide combined with naloxone in the treatment of elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of one hundred and thirty elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage were selected in North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital from December 2012 to December 2014,and were randomly divided into two groups,each group 65 cases.Naloxone was used in the control group,while the observation group adopted butylphthalide combined with naloxone in its treatment.The curative effects were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,homocysteine,C reactive protein,hypoxia inducible factor,neurological function defect score were all significantly decreased in two groups (P<0.05).Homocysteine,C reactive protein,hypoxia inducible factor and neurological function defect score in the observation group were much lower than those of the control group ((10.2±1.3) μmol/L vs.(14.0±1.8) μmol/L,(3.9±1.1) mg/L vs.(6.9±1.4) mg/L,(51.6±10.3) pg/ml vs.(82.5±17.6) pg/ml,(3.7±1.0) points vs.(4.4±0.9) points,t=7.134,10.692,9.078,4.892,P<0.05).The total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (98.5% vs.89.2%,χ2=4.795,P<0.05).Compared the complications in two groups,the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion Butylphthalide combined with naloxone is effective in the treatment of elderly patients with cerebral hemorrhage,which can significantly improve their clinical signs and neurological function.

Objective To investigate clinical value of right ventricular morphology in children with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary hypertension. Methods From October 2014 to October 2017, 37 children with congenital heart disease without associated pulmonary hypertension ( resting pulmonary systolic pressure ≤30 mmHg,1 mmHg=0. 133 kPa) were selected as group A. Thirty-seven children with congenital heart disease and associated pulmonary hypertension (resting pulmonary systolic pressure>30 m) . were in group B,and 37 healthy children were in control group. Echocardiography was performed to compare the results of right ventricular morphology and systolic function in three groups. Results ( 1 ) Right ventricular morphology indexes:right atrium upper and lower diameter((56. 8±4. 0) mm),right atrium left and right diameter((49. 2± 3. 3) mm),right ventricle basal segment inner diameter(( 43. 7± 2. 5) mm), right ventricle medial diameter((41. 7±3. 9) mm),right ventricle long axis distance((73. 4±6. 2) mm), sternum sidelines right ventricular outflow tract proximal end diameter((37. 8± 2. 4) mm),short axis view right ventricular outflow tract distal internal diameter (( 33. 6 ± 2. 1) mm),main pulmonary artery internal diameter((30. 5± 2. 5) mm), right ventricle end diastolic area (( 31. 6 ± 1. 8) cm2 ), right ventricle end systolic area((19. 0± 2. 7) cm2 ) in group B were higher than those in group A((46. 2± 3. 1) mm,( 40. 4 ±2. 8) mm,(34. 6±2. 2) mm,(32. 5±2. 6) mm,(65. 1±4. 7) mm,(30. 2±2. 0) mm,( 29. 4±1. 8) mm, (23. 0±1. 6) mm,(22. 5±1. 1) cm2,(11. 6±1. 2) cm2)and control group((45. 3±2. 6) mm,(39. 5±1. 7) mm,(34. 0±1. 9) mm,(31. 8± 2. 0) mm,(63. 2± 3. 8) mm,( 29. 6± 1. 7) mm,(28. 9± 1. 5) mm,(22. 4 ±1. 4) mm,(22. 1±1. 0) cm2,(11. 3±0. 9) cm2),( F=140. 26,147. 47,223. 08,130. 46,43. 56,183. 33, 74. 71,209. 94,587. 99,221. 34, all P<0. 01 ) . ( 2) Right ventricle contractile function indexes : right ventricular area change rate((40. 1±1. 6)%),three tricuspid ring systolic displacement((2. 2±0. 2) cm), tricuspid valve peak systolic flow velocity((13. 8±0. 9) cm/s)in group B were lower than those in group A ((46. 3±1. 7)%,(2. 5±0. 3) cm,(16. 7±1. 2) cm/s)and control group((46. 8±1. 5)%,(2. 6±0. 3) cm, (17. 2±1. 4) cm/s),the difference was statistically significant(F=200. 81,21. 86,88. 85,all P<0. 01 ) . Conclusion Children with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary hypertension have right ventricle morphological changes and right ventricular systolic function decreasing. Right ventricular morphological examination has important clinical value.
