Objective To evaluate the value of the StealthStation neuronavigation in the operation of intracranial lesions. Methods 22 patients with different intracranial lesions, including 14 cases of glioma, 2 cases of meningioma,4 cases of cavernous angioma,1 case of lymphoma and 1 case of metastatic cancer, were operated on with the aid of StealthStation neuronavigational system. The neuronavigational accuracy and surgical effect were analysed. Results All intracranial lesions were found accurately with StealthStation neuronavigational system, the predicted accuracy (PA) value was 2.53?0.73mm, accuracy sphere of intracranial lesions in the neuronavigational system was within 2mm in all patients. 13 cases out of 14 gliomas were totally removed under microscope, in 1 case removal was subtotal. In 2 patients, neurological symptoms became worse immediately after the operation but improved within 3 months after the operation. The other 12 patients recovered very well. In another 8 cases total removal under microscopy was successful, but one lymphoma patient showed exacerbation of neurological symptoms immediately after operation, but improved within 1 week after operation. The other 7 cases recovered very well. Conclusion The StealthStation neuronavigational system is reliable and accurate in neurosurgical operation, thus it is helpful to facilitate total resection of intracranial lesions with less operative complications.

Objective To investigate the influence of immunosuppression strategy optimization on the outcomes of the renal transplant recipients in the last decades. Methods Data from 404 renal transplant recipients from Jan. 1st, 2001 to Dec. 31st, 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into early transplant group (n = 260) and late transplant group (n= 144). The change of immunosuppression strategy included a low dose antithymoglobin (ATG) induction, a quick corticosteroid reduction and mycophenolate mofetil therapeutic monitoring with calcineurin inhibitor minimization. Recipients' gender,age, donor type, induction therapy, immunosuppression regime, occurrences of biopsy-proven acute rejection (BPAR), severe pulmonary infection and patient/allograft survival were compared between groups. A Cox regression model was used to investigate the factors that influenced the allograft survival. Results The follow-up rate was 98. 3 % in this study. The median follow-up period was 65 month (1-112 months). The proportion of ATG induction in late transplant group was significantly higher than in early transplant group (78. 5 % versus 31. 9 %, P<0. 01). The severe pulmonary infection rate was lower in late transplant group, while the BPAR rate was comparable between two groups. The allograft survival rate was significantly higher in late transplant group. Severe pulmonary infection was correlated with patient/allograft survival in Cox regression model. Conclusion The improvement of outcome in renal transplant recipients in our center is related to the optimization of immunosuppression strategy that reduces the severe pulmonary infection rate with no increase in BPAR.
