Objective　To discuss the methods of treatment of sellar region tumors by microsurgery via modified transpterional approach.Methods　The clinical data of 326 patients with sellar region tumors were retrospectively analyzed. All of the patients(of them 158 patients with pituitary adenomas, 89 patients with craniopharyngiomas and 79 patients with meningiomas)were treated by microsurgery via modified transpterional in our hospital in recent 4 years. The most important part of preoperative arrangement was giving glucocorticoid and anti-epilepsy drugs. Modified transpterional craniotomy was performed, and the tumors were removed by employing microsurgical techniques via the 5 anatomy interspaces in sellar region after the subarachnoid cisterns were dissected carefully under surgical microscope. Consciousness, urine volume and serum electrolyte of the patients were observed strictly after surgery, and the complications such as diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte disorder and epilepsy were remedied in time.Results　The rate of intact frontal branch of facial nerve was 92.18% and that of intact supraorbital nerve was 95.72%. Atrophy of temporal muscle occurred in none of the patients. Total and/or subtotal resection of tumors was achieved in 95.26% patients and the rate of intact pituitary stalk was 62.44%. The major postoperative complications included diabetes insipidus and serum electrolyte disorder. Although the incidence of complications was high to 61.42%, complete restore was achieved in 97.12% of the patients with the complications within 1 month.Conclusion　The modified transpterional approach for sellar region tumors may give a lower incidence of damage to frontal branch of facial nerve, super-orbital nerve and temporal muscle, and it can achieve higher total resection rate and a less postoperative complications by employing modified transpterional approach and the microsurgical techniques, combined with the active treatments of postoperative complications, therefore it is deserved to be spread to use in clinical works.

Objective To investigate the methods of total resection of craniopharyngioma and treatment of postoperative complications. Methods The abscission of CPG was performed in 24 patients with craniopharyngioma (CPG) which situated at sellar region after giving glucocorticoid and anti-epilepsy drug. The tumors were removed via the 4 anatomy spaces in sellar region by employing microsurgical technique. Consciousness, urine, and serum electrolyte of patients were observed strictly after surgery, and complications such as diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte disorders and epilepsy were remedied in time. Results Total removal of tumors were achieved in 22 cases, and minor portion of tumors was left in 2 cases. All of the patients were sober after surgery. Diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte disorder and body temperature disorder took place in 16 cases,12 cases, and 6 cases respectively. After treatment, serum electrolyte disorder and body temperature disorder were rectified in all cases, but diabetes insipidus was rectified in 13 of 16 cases. Conclusion Choosing the best operation approach according to the scope which tumor invades and being familiar with the 4 sellar anatomy spaces so as to be used correctly in operation are the keys to remove the CPG completely. Giving glucocorticoid before operation and active treatment of complications such as diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte disorder can decrease mortality observably.

Objective To observe the effect of marin algae polysaccharide derivant on the osteoporotic model of the rats. Methods Forty six-month-old female Wistar rats were selected to duplicate the osteoporotic model induced by retinoic acid and performed with marine algae polysaccharide derivant. The rats were randomly divided into two groups: experiment group treated with 10 mg marine algae polysaccharide derivant10mg per day by oral,control group treated with 10 mg glucose per day by oral.The effect of marine algae poly saccharide derivant on osteoporosis were evaluated by morphometry. Results After intake of polysaccharide,the mean trabecular plate density (Tb.N),the mean trabecular plate thickness(Tb.Th),and the percent trabecular area (Tb.Ar%) of t he experiment group, which were treated by polysaccharide were significantly increased more than that of the control group model(P<0.01). Conclusion These results indicate that polysaccharide can increase bone mass and has a therapeutic and preventional effect on the osteoporotic model of the rats induced by retinoic acid.

Objective To evaluate the utility of modified Z-stent in treatment for Budd-Chiarisyndrome (BCS). Methods A retrospective study was used in twelve BCS patients treated in twohospitals. The Doppler examination was carried out in all patients preoperatively, so as to confirm thenature of the lesion and chose correct type of endovascular modified Z-stent. Under DSA monitoring formembranotomy and dilation of the inferior vena cava(IVC), after that, insert the marked modified Z-stent to IVC correctly, and put the non-stent part to hepatic vein orifice. The cavography and hepaticvenography should confirm the position of the Z-stent. All of 12 patients with membranous obstructionof the IVC(MOVC) or segmental obstruction of the IVC (SOVC)were underwent modified Z-stentplacement. Results The IVC pressure (IVCP) before smd after membranotomy (dilation) were 27.33± 4.12cmH2O and 18.67 ± 5.07cmH2O (P＜0.01). Comparing with dilation and putting stent group,the IVCP decreased from 18.67 ± 5.07cmH2O to 11.42 ± 2.11 cmH2O ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The modffied Z-stent could avoid hepatic vein orifice getting compression and resist the retraction of IVC throughly infollowing-up period of 2.5 years. Conclusion s The endovascular treatment of BCS with modified Z-stent is more effective and safer to prevent thrombosis. Further study will be required to observe theirlong term effects.

Methods Alter the carbon source、nitrogen source、inorganic concentration and kinds in turns, observe the sporulation circumstances of Bacillus sp WTFY.Results When glucose concentration was higher over 0.1%, spore did not emerge;Nitrogen source、phosphorus、magnesiumions concentration and kinds have some degree influence,but not significantly.Conclusion Carbon source concentration is a key factor that influence spore formation.

Objective To investigate the role of renal nerve in cardioprotection provided by renal ischemic preconditioning(RIP).Methods The effects of ischemia-reperfusion and RIP on the hemodynamics, myocardial oxygen consumption, epicardial electrography and infarct size were examined in anesthetized rabbit.Results During the 45 min of myocardial ischemia and 180 min of reperfusion, all hemodynamic parameters and myocardial oxygen consumption decreased progressively significantly. Epicardial electrographic ST-segment was elevated significantly during myocardial ischemia and return to baseline progressively in the course of reperfusion. The myocardial infarct size occupied 55.80±1.25% of area at risk,and RIP significantly reduced the myocardial infarct size to 36.51±2.80%(P＜0.01). The renal nerve section (RNS) per se didn't affect myocardial infarct size produced by ischemia-reperfusion, while cardioprotection afforded by RIP was completely abolished by RNS.Conlusion RIP have the protective effect on heart, and activation of renal afferents by transient ischemia-reperfusion play an important role in such a cardioprotection.
