Objective To explore the early clinical characteristics of multiple system atrophy (MSA) in the elderly,and provide the basis for early diagnosis.Methods Totally 102 cases with probable MSA in elderly patients were retrospectively analyzed to understand the beginning symptom,clinical features and assistant examination results,combined with the literature review.Results Among the 102 cases diagnosed as probable MSA (61 cases were male and 41 cases were female),57cases (55.9%) were diagnosed as parkinsonism dominant MSA (MSA-P) subtype and 45 cases (44.1%) as cerebellar dominant MSA (MSA-C)subtype.In the beginning symptom,27 cases appeared autonomic dysfunction,including 15 cases (26.3%) in MSA P subtype and 12 cases (26.6%) MSA-C subtype; 14 cases manifested as dysuresia,11 cases as orthostatic hypotension,and 8 cases as sexual dysfunction.Parkinsonism as the beginning symptom was in 49 cases,among whom 24 cases were of abnormal gait,3 cases of resting tremor,16 cases of muscle rigidity,and 15 cases of slowed movement.Cerebellar symptoms as the beginning symptom were in 33 cases,with gait and limb ataxia of 27 cases,dysarthria of 6 cases,nystagmus of 2 cases.Pyramidal tract signs as the beginning symptom were in 2 cases.There was early misdiagnosis of 36 cases (35.3%).Conclusions As wide variety of early clinical features,MSA can be easily misdiagnosed.The clinical features and assistant examination should be paid attention to improvement of the accuracy of early diagnosis.

Objective: To explore therapeutic effects of calcium channel blocker combined statins on aged patients with hypertension, and their influence on inflammatory factor levels.Methods: A total of 124 aged patients with hypertension, who were treated in our hospital from Oct 2014 to Oct 2015 , were randomly and equally divided into amlodipine group (received amlodipine therapy based on routine treatment) and combined treatment group (received atorvastatin calcium based on amlodipine group) according to random number table.Levels of blood pressure, C reactive protein (CRP), interleukin (IL)-6, endothelin (ET) and blood lipids before and after treatment, and therapeutic effect and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results: Compared with amlodipine group after treatment, there were significant reductions in levels of systolic blood pressure [(143.57±3.14) mmHg vs.(131.73±3.42) mmHg], diastolic blood pressure [(82.17±3.26) mmHg vs.(76.51±3.27) mmHg], CRP [(7.32±0.71) mg/L vs.(5.57±0.76) mg/L], IL-6 [(133.42±27.31) ng/L vs.(123.73±22.81) ng/L], ET [(50.74±4.96) pg/L vs.(45.71±5.78) pg/L], total cholesterol [(5.32±0.66) mmol/L vs.(4.12±0.52) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.56±0.42)mmol/L vs.(1.21±0.37) mmol/L] and low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(3.12±0.48) mmol/L vs.(2.43±0.43) mmol/L], and significant rise in high density lipoprotein cholesterol level [(1.41±0.12) mmol/L vs.(1.55±0.17) mmol/L] in combined treatment group, P<0.05 or <0.01.Compared with amlodipine group, there was significant rise in total effective rate (77.4% vs.91.9%) in combined treatment group, P=0.025.There was no significant difference in incidence rate of adverse reactions between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion: Calcium channel blocker combined statins possesses definite therapeutic effects on aged patients with hypertension.It can reduce levels of blood pressure and blood lipids and inflammations and improve vascular endothelial cell function, which is worth extending.

Objective To summarize the clinical effects of one stop hybrid approach for treating the tetralogy of fallot complicated with aorta pulmonary collateral arteries. Methods From Janu 2008 to June 2013, 79 cases of tetralogy of fallot were complicated with aorta pulmonary collateral arteries with mean age (5.4±3.9) years and weight (18.2±5.7) kg. All patients were diagnosed by echocardiography examination and accepted 64-row CT for demonstration of no dysplasia in pulmonary ressels, McGoon index was (1.7±0.6) and Nakata index was (176.7±7.3). 76 cases had aorta pulmonary collateral arteries for preliminary screening, and accepted cardiovascular angiography before operation. 3 cases were misdiagnosed before surgery and were confirmed by cardiovascular angiography after operation. Results There were 4 deceased cases with an operative mortality of 5.1%. 1 case died of lung infection and 3 cases died of refractory heart failure. In all aorta pulmonary collateral arteries, the smallest diameter was 2.5 mm, the largest was 9.4 mm, average (5.3±2.1) mm. 2 to 21 coils were implanted in respective case with an average of 10.2 coils per case. The maximum number of coils implanted in 1 single ressel was 9. The average number of ressels occluded was 3.7 (range from 1 to 11 ressels) in each case. One case received second closure due to re-open of collateral arteries on neo-vasculanigation. 14 cases had lung infection and 3 cases had pulmonary edema post operation. 75 cases were followed up for 3-72 months. 4 cases with post operative heart function of NYHA gradeⅢtoⅣand all other cases with gradeⅡon higher. Conclusions Peri-operative hybrid management for aorta-pulmonary collateral arteries can increase the operative success rates and reduce complications.
