Objective To explore the clinical value of microsurgery in the treatment of lateral ventricle tumors. Methods Microsurgery was conducted in 14 cases of lateral ventricle trmors in this department from May 1996 to August 2002. According to the location of tumors, we selected the approach close to the focus, protected the surrounding nerve tissue and the deep venous system, and resected the tumor in fractions. Results Among the 14 cases, 13 (92.9%) received total resection and 1 (7.1%) subtotal resection. A total of 11 cases of complications occurred postoperatively, including 3 cases of intracranial infection, 2 cases of hemiparalysis, 1 case of hydrocephalus, 3 cases of frontal lobe mental symptoms, 1 case of intraventricular hematoma and 1 case of nominal aphasia. Except for 1 case of hemiparalysis who were not able to resume the ability to take care of his own basic needs, the remaining 10 cases obtained full recovery. Follow-up in 9 cases for 6~60 months (mean, 29 months) showed 2 cases of recurrence of astrocytoma. Conclusions Microsurgery offers good visualization, minimal invasion and a high total resection rate for tumor.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of stathmin, p16 and Ki-67 in the cervical intractable cases. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of stathmin, p16 and Ki-67 in surgical specimens of 288 cervical intractable cases, including 30 cases of cervical benign changes, 70 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)Ⅰ, 78 cases of CINⅡ, 85 cases of CINⅢand 25 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC, as control group). The application value of stathmin, p16 and Ki-67 in the cervical cases were analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of Ki-67 of cervical benign changes and CINⅠwere 20.0 % (6/30) and 54.3 % (38/70) (χ2 = 3.29, P> 0.05). The expression rates of Ki-67 in CINⅡ, CINⅢ and SCC were all 100.0 %, and compared with the cervix benign changes, the differences were statistically significant (χ2= 112, P< 0.05). The expression rates of p16 in cervical benign changes and CINⅠwere 6.7 % (2/30) and 91.4 % (64/70), and there was significantly statistical difference (χ2=50.64, P<0.05). However, the expression rates of p16 in CINⅡ, CINⅢand SCC were all 100.0%, and compared with the cervix benign changes, the differences were statistically significant (χ2= 7.18, P< 0.01). The expression rates of stathmin in cervical benign changes, CINⅠ, CIN Ⅱ, CINⅢ and SCC were 3.3 %(1/30), 5.7 % (4/70), 23.1 % (18/78), 77.0 % (67/87) and 100.0 % (25/25), respectively, and there was no statistic difference in cervical benign changes, CINⅠand CINⅡ (χ2=0.68, P>0.05), but the expression rates in CINⅢ and SCC were higher than those in cervical benign change, CINⅠand CIN Ⅱ(P< 0.01). The positive expressions of stathmin, p16 and Ki-67 in each group of CIN were positively correlated (r= 0.412, P< 0.05). Conclusions Combined detection of p16 and Ki-67 can assist in the differential diagnosis of cervical intractable cases, and provide objective indicators for the classification and accurate diagnosis of CIN. Combined detection of p16 and stathmin may help to identify high-grade, low-grade CIN and cervix benign changes for the reduction of over-treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of VAE and to assess the predictive value of VAE cough. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 461 consecutive patients who underwent DBS surgery at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Patients with VAE manifestation were enrolled in this study. The clinical features, operative courses, post-operative conditions and treatment of these patients were analyzed. The correlation between intraoperative tremor intensity , cough duration and prognosis was also investigated. Results Among 461 patients,10 (2.2%) were found with evidence of VAE, including cough, dyspnea, decreased O2 saturation (SO2). Statistical analyses revealed that severe cough was associated with greater age , a longer coughing time, more intensive tremor, greater influence, and a longer length of stay (P < 0.05, rspectively). Conclusions Early recognition and prompt management of VAE are essential to prevent unfavorable consequences. Cough intensity might be a useful tool for evaluating VAE and its prognosis , which is helpful for neurosurgeons to decide on the subsequent maneuvers.

ObjectiveTo explore the regulatory effect and mechanism of Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang on lipid metabolism in the mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) based on network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsTwenty-four MKR transgenic diabetic mice were randomly allocated into 4 groups: Model, low-dose (12.6 g·kg-1) Chinese medicine (concentrated decoction of Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang), high-dose (25.2 g·kg-1) Chinese medicine, and Western medicine (metformin, 0.065 g·kg-1). Six FVB mice were used as the normal group. All groups were treated for 6 consecutive weeks. The mice in the drug treatment groups were administrated with corresponding agents by gavage, and those in the normal group and model group received the same volume of distilled water. Fasting blood glucose, body weight, liver weight, glucose tolerance, liver function indicators, blood lipid levels, and pathological changes in the liver were evaluated for each group. Network pharmacology was employed to analyze the targets and pathways of Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang in the treatment of T2DM complicated with MASLD. Molecular biological techniques were used to verify the enriched key targets. ResultsCompared with the model group, each treatment group showed reduced fasting blood glucose, body weight, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and liver weight (P<0.01). The high-dose Chinese medicine group was superior to the low-dose group in reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL), increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and recovering glucose tolerance (AUC) and ALT (P<0.05), with the effect similar to that of the Western medicine group. Morphologically, Chinese medicine groups showed reduced lipid accumulation and alleviated pathological damage in the liver tissue, with the high-dose group demonstrating more significant changes. Network pharmacology results showed that Danggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang may exert therapeutic effects through multiple targets such as fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), MYC oncogene (MYC), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Western blot showed that compared with the model group, the treatment groups demonstrated down-regulated protein levels of FAS and ACC (P<0.01) and up-regulated protein levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and UCP1 (P<0.01). Compared with the low-dose Chinese medicine group, the high-dose Chinese medicine group exhibited down-regulated protein levels of FAS and ACC and up-regulated protein levels of PGC-1α and UCP1 (P<0.05). ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan combined with Yinchenhaotang has the effect of ameliorating T2DM complicated with MASLD and can improve the liver lipid metabolism by up-regulating the protein levels of Fas and ACC and down-regulating the protein levels of PGC-1α and UCP1.
