Try this:

allItems = handles.popupname.String;     % A cell array of all strings in the popup.
selectedIndex = handles.popupname.Value; % An integer saying which item has been selected.
selectedItem = allItems{selectedIndex};  % The one, single string which was selected.
YourOtherFunction(selectedItem);  % Pass the string to some other function of yours.
