Objective To discuss the technique of supraorbital transeyebrow keyhole approach microsurgery for sellar tumors. Methods A total of 33 cases of sellar tumors were treated in this hospital from July 2001 to June 2004. The resection of the tumor was achieved by way of a supraorbital eyebrow minicraniotomy through a 2.0 cm ? 3.0 cm keyhole approach. The surrounding cisterns of the sellar area were opened to expose underlying structures under microscope at proper angles. Results Of 26 cases of hypophysoma, a total resection was performed 19 cases, and a subtotal resection in 7 cases. Of 4 cases of craniopharyngioma, a total resection was performed 3 cases, and a subtotal resection, 1 case. One case of meningioma received a total resection, and 1 case of optic chiasm glioma underwent a partial resection. Postoperatively, transitory diabetes insipidus was observed in 5 cases, and grand mal epilepsy occurred in 1 case. There were no infection or bleeding after the operation. All the 33 cases were followed for 4~36 months (mean, 27 months). No recurrence of tumors was seen in the 24 cases of total resection. Postoperative radiotherapy was given in 7 cases of subtotal resection of hypophysoma, 1 case of craniopharyngioma, and 1 case of optic chiasm glioma, and no apparent enlargement of tumors was found. Conclusions Supraorbital transeyebrow keyhole approach microsurgery minimizes the unnecessary exposure of the brain and postoperative complications.

Objective:To study the effect of 5-FU polylactic acid nanospheres(5-FU-PAN)on the proliferation and apoptosis of the human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca83 cells.Methods:Tca83 cells were exposed to 5-FU-PAN or 5-FU at the doses(mmol/L)of 1?10-2,2?10-2 and 4?10-2 for 1,3,5,7,9 and 11 days respectively.The survival rates of the cells were examined by MTT assay,the apoptosis of the cells was observed by acridine orange fluorescent staining and the cell cycle distribution was studied by flow cytometry.Results:Both 5-FU-PAN and 5-FU inhibited the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of the cells dose and time dependantly.5-FU-PAN showed stronger effects than 5-FU.The two agents blocked the cells at S phase and 5-FU-PAN was more potential than 5-FU.Conclusions:5-FU-PAN is more effective in the growth inhibition and apoptosis promotion of Tca83 cells.

BACKGROUND: Mortality related to cardiopulmonary bypass can be lowered by intra-operative monitoring system.Monitoring liquid level and pressure is extremely indispensable for examination of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB).OBJECTIVE: To design a CPB safety system including an arterial line pressure monitor and low-level sensor,and to evaluate its safety and effects in clinical settings.METHODS: The safety system was composed of pressure transducer,photoelectric transmitter,photoelectric detector,core controller,and liquid crystal display.The principles of reflection and refraction were applied to the design of level sensor.The pressure measurements were converted into electronic signals and processed.According to two principles above-mentioned,fluid level detector and pressure monitor were designed.Thirty patients with the age of 1-75 years receiving cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled.The arterial line pressure at different pump flows was measured and the alarm function of the level sensor was also validated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cardiopulmonary bypass arterial line pressure increased with the pump flow.Arterial line pressure detected by HZ-01-A safety system also increased with the pump flow increasing,which was highly related to the pump pressure.HZ-01-A safety system could alarm when the arterial line pressure and reservoir level exceeded the pre-determined thresholds.HZ-01-A safety system could be safely and effectively applied to clinical cardiopulmonary bypass and improve bypass safety by accurately detecting the pressure and reservoir level.

Objective To study the anatomic morphology of posterior column of ilium(PCI)and valne of lumbo-iliac fixation(LIF)in pelvic ring reconstruction following communited Denis Ⅲ sacral fractures.Methods A total of 17 hemi-sectional pelvis and dry ilia were selected to observe the length,width and height(safety and standard)of PCI,when a detailed description was done on the methods determining entry point and operation techniqus for iliac screws anchoring.Nine patients with eommunited sacral fractures involving Denis Ⅲ areas combined with neurologic deficits were decompressed for recovery of neurological function and reconstruction of pelvic ring by using LIF.Postoperative follow-up was done on role of LIF and result of neural rehabilitation.Results PCI was mean 110.57 mm in length,24.24 mm in width,14.54 mm in standard height and 31.46 mm in safe height.Nine patients could turn over in bed immediately following operation and walk one month later.A follow-up for 13-37 months in eight patients showed stable reconstructed pelvic ring,sound function of movement and bone graft fusion,which met the target of keeping stability of fractured extremity and pelvis.Conclusions pCI can provide anatomic support for LIF.When decompression and fixation is needed for sacral fractures combined with anterior pelvic ring disruptions,LIP can provide stable fixation and play an important role in reconstruction,nursing and rehabilitation of pelvic ring.

Objective To investigate whether the apoptosis-2 ligand (Apo-2L),known as tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL),could enhance irradiation-induced apoptosis in lung adenocarcinima H1975 cells that are resistant to the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR)-TKI.Methods Adenocarcinima H1975 cells were randomly divided into four groups:the control group,Apo2L group,irradiation group,and both Apo-2L and irradiation group.H1975 cells were pretreated with Apo2L under different concentrations of 200 and 228 ng/ml at 24 h before irradiation with doses of 1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5 and 4 Gy.The apoptosis rates of all groups were analyzed by flow cytometry 24 h post-irradiation.The inhibition rates of cell proliferation were measured by the MTT assay.Results MTT assay showed that the Apo-2L treatment significantly inhibited cell proliferation(x2 =136.17,P ＜ 0.05).The apoptosis rates of the four groups were different significantly,and the apoptosis rate of radiation combined with drug group was significantly higher than the other three groups(x2 =78.02,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The Apo-2L could not only inhibit the proliferation but also promote radiation-induced apoptosis of adenocarcinoma H1975 cells.
