Objective:To investigate the factors related to recurrence and prognosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma.Method:The clinical data of patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma who underwent surgical treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2011 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 42 males and 47 females and patients’median age was 53 (26-78). Sixty-five cases were treated by operation in our hospital, and 24 cases were primarily treated by the operation in another hospital. The clinical manifestations of the initial diagnosis included retroperitoneal mass in 41 cases, abdominal distension in 12 cases, abdominal pain in 10 cases, fever in 11 cases, nausea, vomiting and poor appetite in 8 cases, frequent urination and dysuria in 6 cases, and bilateral lower limb edema in 1 case. Preoperative CT imaging showed that the tumor body was located in the retroperitoneal kidney area in 58 cases, while in the retroperitoneal space or the pelvic extraperitoneal space in 31 cases. There were 55 single cases and 34 multiple cases. The median tumor length was 20(3-52) cm. Among the primarily treated 65 patients, 47(72.3%) were considered as primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma by preoperative imaging examination. Among the 89 patients treated by surgery, 78 underwent endoscopic surgery, among which 21 underwent laparoscopic surgery, 38 cases of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery, 19 cases of Da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Open operation was performed in 11 cases. There were 87 patients undergoing radical resection and 2 patients undergoing palliative resection. Forty-two patients underwent intraoperative combined resection of the adjacent organs. The recurrence and survival status of patients were followed up.Results:All the 89 patients underwent the operation successfully, with the median operative blood loss of 200 (10-2000) ml. There were 23 cases being diagnosed of well differentiated liposarcoma, 40 cases of dedifferentiated, 20 cases of myxoid/round, 5 cases of myxoid liposarcoma, and 1 cases of mixed type. Pathologically, there 42 cases with low grade histology and 47 cases with high grade histology. In this study, 89 patients were followed up for 3 to 108 months, and the median follow-up time was 28 months. The 5-year recurrence free survival rate, disease-free survival rate and overall survival rate of the patients were 16.7%, 16.1% and 52.6%, respectively. There were 57 patients presenting local recurrence, 1 patient of lung metastasis, and 1 patient of liver metastasis, and the median disease-free survival time was 24 months. There were 42 patients died of the disease, with a median survival time of 64 months. Univariate analysis showed that intraoperative blood loss( P<0.01), whether multiple cases( P<0.01), pathologic types( P<0.01), and histological grades ( P<0.01) were related to disease-free survival.The intraoperative blood loss( P<0.01), multiple cases( P<0.05), pathologic types ( P<0.05), and recurrence ( P<0.01)were related with overall survival. Gender, age, tumor size, tumor location, whether primary surgery, radical resection or combined resection of adjacent organ had no effect on the prognosis of patients ( P>0.05). Cox regression model multivariate analysis revealed that surgical bleeding ( RR=2.360, 95% CI 1.313-4.241, P=0.004), multiple tumor ( RR=1.899, 95% CI 1.068-3.375, P=0.029), and pathological type ( RR=4.976, 95% CI 1.622-15.264, P=0.005) were independent factors affecting disease-free survival. The recurrence was an independent factor affecting the overall survival of patients ( RR=31.495, 95% CI 1.062-933.684, P=0.046). Conclusions:Retroperitoneal liposarcoma is a rare disease with high recurrence rate. The intraoperative blood loss, whether multiplicity and pathological type are independent factors affecting the disease-free survival, and recurrence is independent factors affecting the overall survival.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of microsurgical resection combined with preoperative interventional embolization in the treatment of solid intracranial hemangioblastomas, and to analyze the effect of pre-operative embolization on tumor resection,and to discuss the surgical technique and perioperative management of mi-crosurgery. Methods From September, 2010 to September, 2015, the clinical signs, preoperative embolization, mi-crosurgery and prognosis of 18 patients with solid hemangioblastomas were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were examined by CTA and MRI,18 patients underwent DSA tumor arterial embolization and tumor microsurgery. Results The tumor diameter was 2.5-4.0 cm, the proportion of preoperative embolization tumor was 100% in 4 cases, 80% -95% in 9 cases,60%-70% in 3 cases and 60% in 2 cases.16 cases(88.9%)were subtotal tumors,2 cases(11.1%) were subtotal resection, 1 case died. No patients with intraoperative blood transfusion.followed up for 2 years without tumor recurrence. Conclusion The risk of postoperative hemangioblastomas is high, and the intervention of em-bolization for tumor artery will reduce the risk of operation.Microsurgery is the preferred treatment,and skilled micro-surgery is the key to treatment.

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features,imaging manifestation and treatment of solitary fibrous tumor in the central nervous system(cSFT),in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment.Methods Fourteen cases of cSFT that had been received microsurgery treatment from June,2010 to July,2016 were analyzed retrospectively.The clinicopathological features,treatment and prognosis were concluded and analyzed.Results In 14 patients with cSFT treated with microsurgery,and 1 case in the foramen magnum region for the first time,and enriched the understanding of this disease.Of 14 patients with cSFT,12 received total resection and 2 subtotal or part.The cSFT were pathologically diagnosed as benign tumors in 11 patients and low grade cSFT in 3.The microscopical presence of spindle-shaped tumor cells arranged in fascicles that alternate hypocellular and hypercellular areas separated from each other by collagenous fibre.Immunohistochemistry was positive for Vimentin,and CD34,Bcl-2 of 14 patients,and positive for CD99 in 12 patients.Followed-up time was from 6 to 49 months.Twelve cases had good prognosis to total resection and 2 recurrence due to subtotal or part resection.Conclusion cSFT is extremely rare,and it has some characteristics on MRI,final diagnosis should be depended on pathological and immunohistochemical examination.There are good prognoses in the patients with cSFT after the total removal of cSFT,but when the lesion could not be totally resected,radiotherapy should be considered,the curative effect of chemotherapy on cSFT is not definitive.

Objective To explore the DNA expression of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in glioma and the association between HCMV infection and prognosis of glioma patients.Methods Used for this study were 89 specimens of glioma which had been surgically ablated and pathologically confirmed from the patients between January 2007 and December 2016 at Department of Neurosurgery,The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,and Department of Neurosurgery,The First Hospital of China Medical University.Of them,32 belonged to WHO grade Ⅱ,31 to WHO grade Ⅲ and 26 to WHO grade Ⅳ.Ten specimens of normal brain tissue were excised as controls from the contemporary patients receiving resection for essential epilepsy.Nested PCR was used to analyze the DNA expression of HCMV in the glioma tissue and normal brain tissue,and in the peripheral blood from the glioma and control patients.Prognosis of the glioma patients was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.Results The DNA expression of HCMV was positive in 46 of the 89 specimens of glioma,involving 14 cases of WHO grade Ⅱ,16 ones of WHO grade Ⅲ and 16 ones of WHO grade Ⅳ.The DNA expression of HCMV was negative in all the 10 specimens of normal brain tissue.There was a significant difference in the DNA expression of HCMV between the glioma tissue and normal brain tissue (P=0.002).The HCMV DNA was measured in the peripheral blood from 26 glioma patients,involving 10 cases of WHO grade Ⅱ,8 ones of WHO grade Ⅲ and 8 ones of WHO grade Ⅳ.No HCMV DNA was detected in the peripheral blood from the 10 control patients.There was a significant difference between the brain glioma and control groups in gene expression of HCMV in peripheral blood (P=0.048).There were no significant differences in the survival rate between the patients with positive or negative DNA expression of HCMV in the glioma tissue or in the peripheral blood from the glioma and control patients (x2=1.849,P=0.174;x2=0.082,2=0.774).Conclusion HCMV infection may play an active role in pathogenesis and development of glioma.
