Objective To explore the effect and safety of transcranial approach for spheno-orhital meningioma. Design Retro- spective case series. Participants Thirty-two patients being operated with transcranial approach. Twenty-four cases were meningothelial meningiomas, 3 cases were fibrous meningiomas, 1 case was psammomatous meningioma, 2 cases were atypital meningiomas, 2 case were malignant meningiomas. Methods All patients underwent frontal-temporal craniotomy, the involved sphenoid wing bone and peri- orbit were removed to prevent recurrence. The superior orbital fissure and optic canal were decompressed, the dural and periorbital de- feet were repaired by autogenous temporal fascia or artificial dura. Main Outcome Measures Preoperative and postoperative exoph- thalmus and eyeball movement, the extent of tumor resection, the ratio of recurrence. Results The extent of tumor resection: 8 cases were Simpson gradeⅡ, 20 cases Simpson gradeⅢ, 4 cases Simpson grade IV. After surgery, proptosis were improved in all patients, ophthalmoplegia was found in 6 eases. There was no operation-related death or other significant complication. Tumor recurred in 6 cas- es. Conclusions Adequate exposure of the tumor and bony decompression of the cranial nerves can result from transcranial approach, all the involved bone should be removed in order to prevent recurrence. This approach is relatively safe and the ptoptosis are improved significantly. Complete surgical resection is difficult because of the involvement of the orbital apex, superior orbital fissure and cav- ernous sinus.

Objective To investigate the role of BMSCg on enhancing the implant survival and bacheal epithelium regeneration. Methods After transplanted with cryopreserved 2 weeks and 6 weeks allocraft, PHK-26 labeled 3-5 passage BMSCs were injected into the recipient rats via tail vein. Rats in the control groups were injected with the same amount of PBS.We observed the histology of the transplanted trachea including epithelium growth and regeneration, and the PKH-26 fluorescence levels at the para-anastomotic trachea to evaluate the role of BMSC transplantation on the epithelium regeneration. Results Rats from BMSCs injection group survived a long period. Histological observation showed that the tracheal lumen was covered by psudo-striated ciliated columnar epithelium. The cartilage structure was intact. There are no signs of denaturation and necrosis. In the PBS injection group, epithelium regeneration is better in PBS-6-week group than PBS-2-week group. The longest survival time in PBS-6-week group was 32 days, whereas it was 10 days in PBS-2-week group. In BMSCs injection group, rats in BMSC-6-week groups survived longer than 8-week group(12 rats were terminated at 1 week, 4 weeks and 8weeks as planned). There was one rat who survived and were terminated at the designated 8 weeks time point (there were 8regenerated epithelium was similar in the two BMSC transplanted groups. PKH-26 labeled BMSCs migrated to the implant site and showed red fluorescence, with most red fluorescence shown at the anastomotic part. Conclusion BMSCs can migrate to the impaired tissue to repair it. BMSCs may exert their reparation function via enhancing epithelium regeneration.

Objective To summarize the clinical phenotype profiles and mitochondrial DNA mutation in maternally inherited diabetes and deafness ( MIDD ) , and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease in clinical practice. Methods Sixteen patients with MIDD in six families from Peking Union Medical College from 2007 to Dec 2014 were confirmed as carrying the mitochondrial ( mt) DNA 3243 A to G mutation. Sanger sequencing was used to detect the mt DNA 3243 A to G mutation. The peak height G/A ratio was used to determine mutation heteroplasmy levels. Results The patients with early onset of diabetes (35. 0 ± 14. 6 years), deafness, normal or lower body mass index ( BMI) , and maternal hereditary tendency suggested the diagnosis of MIDD. The peak height G/A ratio was significantly different according to the onset age of MIDD [≤25 years (61. 6 ± 20. 17)%;25-45 years (16.59±8.64)%;>45 years(6.37±0.59)%;P<0.01]. The peak height G/A ratio was negatively correlated with the onset age of MIDD(r=-0. 785,P=0. 001). Conclusion Early onset of diabetes with deafness, normal/lower BMI, and maternal hereditary tendency strongly suggests the diagnosis of MIDD. The peak height G/A ratio might provide a simple prediction regarding the onset age and severity of MIDD.

In this article, the implementation of eye movement tracking system includes three procedures: hardware acquisition, data extraction and overall analysis. The system is based on Camshift algorithm with an eye tracking module added, developed on VC++ 6.0. The system can track the eye movement effectively in simulated phosphene evaluation experiment based on prosthetic vision.

Background Placement of an orbital implant is a main way to prevent orbital atrophy with aging.But its mechanism is under clear.Researchs showed that bone growth factors play important role during the development and repair of bone,especially transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1).Objective Present study was to investigate the expression of TGF-β1 protein in orbital bone after enucleation or enucleation with placement of an orbital implant and its function in the mechanisms of preventing and treating the orbital malformed development after enucleation with placement of an orbital implant.Methods Twenty-one age- and weight-matched New Zealand white young rabbits were randomly divided into the enucleation,implant and control groups,and each group including seven rabbits.Eyeball nucleation surgery was performed in the left eyes of 7 1-month-old rabbits,and a spherical orbital implant was inserted after enucleation of the left in matched rabbits in implant group.The left eye of normal rabbits served as controls.The rabbits were sacrificed in 1 month after surgery.The expression of TGF-β1 protein in the left orbital bone was detected using enzyme immunoassay and FITC labelling immunoassay technique in the sections of zygomatic bones.The content of TGF-β1 protein in the left orbital bone tissue was measured by ELISA method.This use of animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The height and width of orbital in enucleation group were significantly lower than those of implant and normal control groups(height:P=0.00,P=0.00;width:P =0.00,P=0.00).The positive bone cells of both enzyme immunoassay and FITC staining were increased in the implant and control groups in comparison with enucleation group,but the positive response intensity for TGF-β1 was resembled between implant group and control group.ELISA result revealed that the content of TGF-β1 protein in bone tissue was significantly lower in the enucleation group than in implant and control groups(P=0.00,P=0.00).The expression and content of TGF-β1 protein in bone tissue is similar between the implant group and the control group(P=0.41). Conclusion The experiment results indicate that TGF-β1 protein participate in the orbital development.TGF-β1 played important role in the prevention and treatment of enucleation-induced orbital malformation in the eye with placement of an orbital implant.

Objective:
To investigate the clinical effect and safety of electroencephalographic biofeedback therapy in improving memory disorders in patientsin the recovery stage of acute severe toxic encephalopathy.
Methods:
A total of 52 patients in the recovery stage of acute severe toxic encephalopathy who were hospitalized in our hospital from March 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled and randomly divided into observation group with 27 patients and control group with 25 patients. Both groups were given the drugs to promote the metabolism of brain cells,and the patients in the observation group were given electroencephalographic biofeedback therapy in addition. The Chinese revised version of Wechsler Memory Scale Type A was used to measure memory ability before and after each course of treatment. The treatment outcome was evaluated for both groups.
Results:
There were no significant differences in the scores of long-term memory,short-term memory, immediate memory, and memory quotient between the two groups before treatment(
