OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the plasma level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) after Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for the treatment of meningioma. METHODS: Fourteen patients with meningiomas had peripheral venous blood collected at the time of GKRS and at 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month visits. Plasma VEGF levels were measured using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. For controls, peripheral blood samples were obtained from 20 healthy volunteers. RESULTS: The mean plasma VEGF level (29.6 pg/mL) in patients with meningiomas before GKRS was significantly lower than that of the control group (62.4 pg/mL, p=0.019). At 1 week after GKRS, the mean plasma VEGF levels decreased to 23.4 pg/mL, and dropped to 13.9 pg/mL at 1 month, 14.8 pg/mL at 3 months, then increased to 27.7 pg/mL at 6 months. Two patients (14.3%) with peritumoral edema (PTE) showed a level of VEGF 6 months after GKRS higher than their preradiosurgical level. There was no significant association found in an analysis of correlation between PTE and tumor size, marginal dose, age, and sex. CONCLUSION: Our study is first in demonstrating changes of plasma VEGF after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for meningioma. This study may provide a stimulus for more work related to whether measurement of plasma level has a correlation with tumor response after SRS for meningioma.

8.Chordoid Glioma: an Uncommon Tumor of the Third Ventricle.

Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society 2006;40(1):40-43
Chordoid glioma is an uncommon low-grade tumor of the third ventricle with histologic features of a chordoma and immunolabeling for glial fibrillary acid protein. We present a rare case of a patient with a chordoid glioma of the third ventricle and review the literature regarding this tumor's clinical, radiological and pathologic aspects.

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of polyurethane with sustained release dexamethasone in delayed adjustable strabismus surgery in rabbits. METHODS: After recession of the superior rectus muscle(SRM), balanced salt solution or polyurethane film with/without sustained release dexamethasone was applied beneath and over the SRM in the control group(group C), polyurethane-steroid group(group P-S) and polyurethane group(group P), respectively. Delayed adjustment was performed once on each SRM at four and six weeks postoperatively by a masked observer. The possible length to adjust and the necessary force required for the adjustment, as well as the degree of any adhesions, were also evaluated. RESULTS: In the control group, adjustment was impossible in all of the eyes at four and six weeks postoperatively. In group P-S, adjustment was possible in 11 out of 11(11/11) eyes four weeks postoperatively and in 10/11 eyes six weeks postoperatively. In group P, adjustment was possible in 9/11 eyes four weeks postoperatively and in 10/12 eyes six weeks postoperatively. In addition, the degree of adhesion was significantly less in group P and in group P-S compared to the control group. The degree of adhesion between the SRM and the sclera was marginally better(p=0.051) in group P-S four weeks postoperatively than in group P. CONCLUSIONS: Use of polyurethane film could delay adjustment in most of the rabbit eyes for up to six weeks postoperatively. Sustained release dexamethasone is helpful for delaying adjustment in rabbit eyes until six week postoperatively without the need for frequent topical instillation of steroids.
