OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical features, surgical transcranial approaches and outcomes of giant pituitary adenomas.

METHODSA series of 112 consecutive cases of giant pituitary adenomas underwent microsurgery through transcranial approaches at People' s Liberation Army General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Of the 112 patients, 58 were male and 54 were female, with age ranging from 3 to 72 years(mean age 44. 3 years). There were 91 non-functioning adenomas and 21 hormone-secreting adenomas. The maximum tumor diameter varied from 4. 0 to 7. 2 cm, with mean diameter of 4. 8 cm. Unilateral subfrontal approach was chosen in 16 cases, pterional approach in 41 cases, anterior interhemispheric approach in 34 cases, transcallosal-interforniceal approach in 6 cases, transcortical- transventricular approach in 5 cases, combined approach in 6 cases and other approaches in 4 cases. Postoperative MRI and endocrine function were re-examined routinely to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy. Staged operation through transsphenoidal approach or adjuvant treatments including medical and radiation therapies were administered in patients with hormone-secreting adenomas when hormonal excess persisted after surgery and in patients with non-functioning adenomas who had postoperative MRI evidence of residual tumor.

RESULTSTotal removal of the lesion was achieved in 57 cases (50. 9%) , 26 patients (23. 2%) underwent subtotal resection, and 29 patients (25. 9%) underwent partial removal. Postoperative mortality occurred in 3 patients (2. 7%). Major surgical morbidity occurred in 38 patients (33. 9%). Vision was preserved or improved in 98 patients (87. 5%). The postsurgical follow-up period varied from 3 to 64 months (mean 19. 5 months) . Nineteen of the 21 patients with hormone-secreting adenomas were considered to be in hormonal remission, and 87. 2% of the cases were capable of normal work and life and 8 patients suffered recurrence during the followed-up period.

CONCLUSIONSSelection of appropriate transcranial approaches is the key to successful microsurgery for giant pituitary adenomas according to the morphological characteristics presented in image examinations and clinical symptoms. Staged transsphenoidal operation and/or adjuvant therapies including medical and radiation therapies offer the best chances to control the residual tumors after the maximal surgical removal of giant adenomas through transcranial approaches.

BACKGROUND:Smooth muscle cells and transitional epithelial cells were traditionally used to construct tissue-engineered bladder and to perform double-sided implantation of scaffold.However,double-sided implantation is difficult to perform,because smooth muscle cells are difficult to isolate or culture in vitro and passage is limited.OBJECTIVE:To verify the feasibility of tissue-engineered bladder reconstruction with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)and bladder acellular matrix(BAM).DESIGN:A basic empirical study.SETTING:Linbaixin Medical Research Center,Second Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS:Experiments were performed at the Linbaixin Medical Research Center,Second Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University from March 2006 to Mav 2007.The laboratory was the Opening Laboratory of Hospital Affiliated to Health Department of China.One-month old SD rats of either sex,weighting 80-100 g were provided by Animal Experimental Center of Sun Yat-sen University.Fresh porcine bladders were offered by Animal Experimental Center of Southern Medical University.METHODS:Whole bone marrow culture and successive adherence method was used to culture rat BMSCs in vitro.Flow cytometry was employed to detect surface antigen.Eradicator washing method was applied to prepare porcine BAM and measure its purity and characteristies.Third passage of BMSCs were inoculated in BAM and cultured in a medium containing vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF165)(25 ng/L)in vive and in vitro to test compatibility.Cells cultured alone were considered to be controls for the in vivo trial,and materials non-implanted with cells were considered to be controls for in vitro trial.Suitable microenvironment was simulated to induce the differentiation of BMSCs.Four weeks and eight weeks later,compound materials were respectively removed to perform tissue section test.Simultaneously,immunohistochemistry keratin staining was conducted to examine regeneration of epithelial cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:Biocompatibility of BMSCs and BAM.RESULTS:①BMSCs were cultured by whole bone marrow method.Flow cytometry demonstrated that third passage of cells were positive for CD29(99.43%).②BAM had good biological characteristics.Homogen matrix and byssoid collagen appeared under a microscope.Compatibility trials showed good compatibility of BMSCs and BAM and well-growth cells.③Four weeks later,histological section test confirmed inflammatory cell infiltration,closely-arranged collagen and elastic fiber.Immunohistochemistry keratin staining showed lamellar and discontinuous simple epithelium.Eight weeks later,no inflammatory cell infiltration was found,and closely-arranged collagen and elastic fiber were detected.Immunohistochemistry keratin staining showed lamellar and continuous multiple epitheliums.CONCLUSIoN:With good compatibility,BMSCs and BAM appear to be an ideal material for bladder tissue engineering.

Objective To explore the HEART risk score in predicting 30-day major adverse cardiovascu-lar events (MACE)for the patients presenting to Emergency Department (ED) with acute chest pain. Methods Patients presented in our ED with acute chest pain were enrolled from January,2016 to April,2016. All cause MACE of each patient were followed up at 30 days by Health insurance information management System and call . Results Total 209 patients were enrolled(mean age 65.28 ± 16.85 years;52.63%male). The age,hypertension, ratio of ACS,SpO2,in-patient number HEART score in MACE subject were significantly higher than that in non MACE patients(P<0.05). The blood pressure at admission of MACE patients was significantly decrease than that in non MACE patients(P<0.05). The MACE within 30 days was 5.74%. The respective areas under the curve (AUC)for 30-day MACE(95% CI)was 0.908(0.846 ~ 0.974). The percent of patients with 30-day MACE with HEART scores between 0% and 3,4 ~ 6,and 7 ~ 10 was 0%,2.5%,and 27%,respectively. Conclusion HEART score can be simple,rapid and accurate prediction of emergency department of patients with acute chest pain within 30 days of MACE,effective elimination of low-risk patients with MACE,it plays a very important role for disease assessment and diagnosis and treatment process in emergency department.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum FER, AFP and AFP-L3 alone or in combination for diagnosis of primary hepatic carcinoma( PHC).Methods This was a case-control study.
Serum FER, AFP and AFP-L3 were determined in 212 patients with PHC ( StageⅠ45 cases, StageⅡ78 cases, StageⅢ81 cases, StageⅣ8 cases) , 127 patients with cirrhosis, 101 patients with chronic hepatitis and 98 controls in the Beijing Youan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2014.Levels of FER, AFP and AFP-L3 were measured by chemiluminescence, while serum samples were pre-treatment with affinity adsorption before AFP-L3 detection.FER, AFP and AFP-L3 levels were analyzed using the nonparametric Wilcoxon test among all groups.Diagnostic performance were analyzed among the groups with the three biomarkers independently and combined.Logistic regression, plotted ROC curve and calculated the area under ROC curve ( AUC) were applied to assess the diagnostic value of each index.Results Serum concentration of FER in PHC, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis groups and healthy controls were 308.45 ( 148.98 -662.80 ) , 151.70 ( 51.44 -507.40 ) , 298.20 ( 157.30 -701.80 ) , 113.50( 54.98-221.38) μg/L, respectively.The concentration of AFP were 48.50(5.25 -748.40), 3.91(1.80-17.53), 4.76 (2.29-30.56), 2.57 (0.93-3.68) μg/L in each group.The serum levels of AFP-L3 in each group were 4.75(0.61-127.95), 0.61 (0.61-2.50), 0.61 (0.61-2.85), 0.61 (0.61-0.61) μg/L.The concentration of FER, AFP and AFP-L3 differs statistically in PHC, cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis group and healthy controls (χ2 =67.66,146.31,119.02,P<0.001).The content of serum FER, AFP and AFP-L3 increased gradually as the stage level aggravating ( StageⅠ-Ⅳ) , there was significant differences among groups (χ2 =21.63,22.68,21.98, P<0.001) .When using one serum marker, FER had the highest sensitivity (75.00%) , while AFP-L3 had the highest specificity (82.52%). While using two serum markers, FER/AFP had the highest sensitivity (89.15%) , FER+AFP-L3 and AFP+AFP-L3 had a higher specificity (86.20%).The combined detection of FER/AFP/AFP-L3 improved the sensitivity of the test to 89.15%, while FER+AFP+AFP-L3 had a specificity of 86.50%.The AUC of combination of FER, AFP and AFP-L3 was 0.803 ±0.019 (95% CI:0.765-0.841), which was higher than the AUC of either FER(0.748 ±0.022,95% CI:0.705-0.790, Z=4.67,P<0.001) and AFP-L3 (0.726 ±0.024,95% CI: 0.679 -0.772, Z=3.64,P<0.001).However, there was no significant difference in AUC between AFP alone ( 0.776 ±0.021, 95% CI: 0.735 -0.818 ) and the combined detection ( Z=1.34, P=0.18 ) .Conclusions FER was a potential marker for PHC diagnosis.The combination of FER, AFP and AFP-L3 has higher value of clinical applications than one of them independently.
