Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2018;49(7):1588-1593
Objective: To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS) method for the determination of ten components in Xuefu Zhuyu Pills (XZP), which are paeoniflorin, ferulic acid, amygdalin, liquiritin, catalpol, β-ecdysone, hydroxysafflor yellow A, naringin, neohesperidin, and saikosaponin A, and to examine the feasibilities of the method for quality control of XZP. Methods: Using XZP as the research object, paeoniflorin was chosen as the internal reference substance by correction methods. The relative correlation factors (f) of ferulic acid, amygdalin, liquiritin, catalpol, β-ecdysone, hydroxysafflor yellow A, naringin, neohesperidin, and saikosaponin A to paeoniflorin were established. The contents of ten components in 16 batches of samples were determined by the external standard method and QAMS, and the measured values of the external standard method were compared with the calculated results of correction factor in order to test the accuracy of established method. The results were compared with the methods finally. Results: The f value of ferulic acid, amygdalin, liquiritin, catalpol, β-ecdysone, hydroxysafflor yellow A, naringin, neohesperidin, and saikosaponin A to paeoniflorin were 2.22, 1.73, 0.56, 3.55, 2.03, 2.31, 1.03, 1.68, and 1.13, respectively; There was no significant difference between the calculated value and the measured value of f by correction method. The contents of nine batches of catalpol, amygdalin, saikosaponin A, ferulic acid, naringin, neohesperidin, liquiritin, β-ecdysone, hydroxysafflor yellow A, and paeoniflorin were 0.47-0.72, 0.63-0.94, 0.37-0.74, 0.11-0.33, 1.15-1.37, 0.64-0.84, 1.47-1.88, 0.38-0.62, 0.17-0.34, and 1.16-1.48 mg/g, respectively.

Objective: To investigate the related factors and treatments of delayed cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea (CFR) after invasive pituitary adenoma (IPA) surgery. Methods: One hundred and forty-two patients with IPA treated in Tianjin Huanhu Hospital from January 2014 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, including 62 males and 80 females, aging from 38 to 67 years. The clinical data of patients before and after operation were collected. All patients with postoperative CFR underwent endoscopic CFR repair. During the operation, residual or recurrent pituitary adenomas were resected, the dura around the leak was enlarged and the necrotic tissue was removed. For those who still had fluid leakage after repair, the necrotic tissue was cleaned up, the leakage was filled and reinforced under endoscopy. Endoscopic rhinorrhea repair was performed if necessary. The cerebrospinal fluid leak was repaired with multi-layer materials. The related risk factors of delayed CFR after operation were analyzed. SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Among the 142 patients in this group, 64 cases underwent total tumor resection and 78 cases underwent non-total tumor resection. They were followed up for 6 to 72 months. Thirty-one cases had delayed CFR, with an incidence of 21.83%, and occurred between 1 and 5 years postoperatively, with an average of 2.4 years. All 31 patients with delayed CFR underwent endoscopic CFR repair. The nasal endoscopy was rechecked at 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Twenty-eight patients were repaired successfully after 1 operation, while 2 patients after 2 operations and 1 patient after 3 operations. These patients were followed up for 6 to 60 months, and no CFR occurred again. Univariate analysis showed that the degree of tumor resection, recurrence, size, texture, postoperative radiotherapy and operator experience were the risk factors of delayed CFR (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the degree of tumor resection and recurrence were the highest independent risk factors for postoperative CFR, and tumor size, texture, postoperative radiotherapy and operator experience were the independent risk factors in this study. Conclusions: Delayed CFR after IPA is related to the degree of tumor resection, recurrence, size, texture, postoperative radiotherapy and the operator experience. It is necessary to completely remove the tumor under endoscope, to expand resection of the dura and necrotic tissue around the leak, to repair the defect with multi-layer materials, to follow-up closely and to repair timely after operation.

Objective: To indicate the clinical features of endoscopic transnasal resection of epidural cholesteatoma at paracentral skull base and to analyze its efficacy. Methods: The total excision rate, postoperative complications and postoperative curative effect of 7 patients (4 males and 3 females, aging from 32 to 63 years old) who underwent middle skull base surgery for epidural cholesteatoma resection under transnasal endoscope at Tianjin Huanhu Hospital between August 2017 and August 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months. The postoperative MRI, clinical symptoms and recurrence were reviewed. Descriptive statistical methods were used for analysis. Results: Among the 7 patients, there were total resection (complete resection of cyst contents and capsule) in 4 patients, near-total resection (complete resection of cyst contents, incomplete resection of cyst capsule) in 1 patient, and subtotal resection (incomplete resection of cyst contents and capsule) in 2 patients. The clinical symptoms of all patients were improved postoperatively with 1 patient who had no clinical symptoms. One case had postoperative cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, which was cured after lumbar drainage and nasal iodoform gauge packing. Up to now, 7 patients (including patients with partial resection) had no recurrence. Conclusion: Endoscopic transnasal approaches may be effectively used for resection of epidural cholesteatoma in the paracentral skull base in carefully selected cases.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the correlation between olfactory bulb(OB) volume with depth of olfactory sulcus (OS) and olfactory function in patients with idiopathic olfactory loss (IOL).
METHODSForty patients with IOL and forty normal controls were compared in terms of olfactory function T&T testing and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, observation of OB volume and depth of OS). T&T testing and MRI were performed again after a year in 40 IOL patients, the results were compared with the first time.
RESULTSOB volume of left side in IOL patients was (30.31 ± 4.07) mm(3), right side was (30.82 ± 4.14) mm(3), average OB volume was (30.53 ± 4.10) mm(3); OB volume of left side in normal controls was (49.56 ± 7.19) mm(3), right side was (49.84 ± 7.25) mm(3), average OB volume was (49.73 ± 7.21) mm(3). OB volume was lower in IOL patients as compared to controls (t value were 8.122, 8.274, 8.231, all P < 0.01). OS depth study revealed no statistical different between IOL patients and controls (t value were 0.998, 1.017, 1.001, all P > 0.05). Olfactory discriminate threshold was negatively correlated with OB volume in IOL patients (r = -0.53, P < 0.05). There was no correlation with the depth of OS (r = -0.19, P > 0.05). Among 40 IOL patients, when followed-up, 12 showed increased in OB volume and olfactory function after a year, but no statistical difference was found with the first time (t value were 0.831, 0.864, 0.826, all P > 0.05). The other 28 patients showed no significant changes of OB volume and olfactory function.
CONCLUSIONSThe OB volume was lower in IOL patients as compared to normal controls. The depth of OS showed no significant changes in IOL patients. The OB volume was correlated with olfactory function. The depth of OS did not correlated with the olfactory function. Some IOL patients showed increased OB volume and improved olfactory function with the development of the disease.
