0.05). 100% occlusion was achieved in 18 patients with cerebral aneurysms by using embolization. Conclusion 3D DSA may improve the accuracy in diagnosing SAH and in showing clearly the stereo conformation of aneurysm and the relationship of sac and parent artery. It is helpful in the evaluation and guidance of embolization of cerebral aneurysms.

Objective To explore the pathogenic gene for the family with central nervous system hemangioblastoma (CNS-HB) in Luodian County,Guizhou Province and the pathologic features of familial and sporadic CNS-HB.Methods The peripheral blood from 42 members of the family with CNS-HB was obtained for DNA extraction.The exons 1,2 and 3 of VHL gene were amplified and sequenced by PCR.Light microscopy and immunohistochemical staining were applied for pathological observation of the tumor tissues harvested intraoperatively from 6 cases of the familial CNS-HB and from another 9 cases of sporadic CNS-HB as controls.A total of 9 specimens of familial CNS-HB (6 cystic and 3 solid) and 9 specimens of sporadic CNS-HB (8 cystic and one solid) were harvested.Results VHL gene mutations were not detected among the 42 members of familial CNS-HB.HE staining showed that the tumors were made up of capillary network and large vacuolated interstitial cells with abundant cytoplasm which were pale eosinophilic,polygon-shaped,foamy or ground-glass opaque,and scattered between the capillary network.No nucleus fission or necrosis was observed.Immunohistochemical staining showed the positive expression of Inhibin-α was 11/18 and that of Ki-67 was 14/18 in the interstitial cells and the positive expression of CD31 in the endothelial cells was 17/18.There were no significant differences between familial and sporadic CNS-HB in the positive expression of Inhibin-α,Ki-67 or CD31 (P>0.05).Conclusions The pathogenesis of familial CNS-HB may be associated with not only VHL gene mutation but also other factors.Familial and sporadic CNS-HB may be similar in pathological features.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of modified posterior occipital fusion in atlantooccipital and atlantoaxial dislocation in children and adolescents. Methods The clinical data of 11 children or adolescents with atlantooccipital and atlantoaxial dislocation, admitted to and accepted modified posterior occipital fusion in our hospital from November 2013 to March 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. Before and after the surgery, Japanese orthopedic association (JOA) scale was used to evaluate the cervical vertebral function of the patients, the atlanto-dens interval (ADI) was measured by CT images to evaluate the dislocation and reduction of joints, and the medulla bulbar cervical medulla angle (CMA) of the patients was measured by MR imaging to evaluate the degrees of spinal cord compression. Results The clinical symptoms of 11 patients improved in different degrees. No postoperative complications occurred. JOA scale scores after operation were significantly higher than those before operation (15.0±1.0 vs. 12.2±1.6). Significantly decreased of ADI and significantly increased CMA after operation were noted as compared with those before operation (P<0.05). Conclusion Modified posterior occipital fusion is safe and effective for treatment of atlantooccipital and atlantoaxial dislocation in children and adolescents.

Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.
