BACKGROUND: Neuroprotective role of hypothermia on cerebral ischemic-reperfusional impairment has been long acknowledged. Since general hypothermia is complicated and unfit for observing postoperative consciousness and neurological function, it is of important significance to explore novel methods of focal cerebral hypothermia.OBJECTIVE: To study the neuroprotective effect of lateral ventricle infusion of low-temperature fluid on ischemic neurons of middle cerebral artery (MAC) occlusion models established on New Zealand rabbits.DESIGN: A randomized case-control study based on experimental animal models.SETTING: Neurosurgical department and pathological department of a general military hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This study was carried out at Neurosurgical Laboratory of Nanjing General Hospital, Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. Altogether 18 healthy New Zealand male rabbits, weighing from 2. 8 to 3.2 kg, were selected 4 - 6 months after birth, and randomly divided into occlusion group, hypothermia group and control group.INTERVENTIONS: Cerebral focal ischemic-reperfusional model was established on the New Zealand rabbits through MCA occlusion for 2 hours followed by reperfusion for 24 hours.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Scores for neurological function, water content in the left and right brain, pathological changes of nerve cells in the left MCA supplying region.pothermia group, significantly higher than that in occlusion group(7.58 ± 0.58 )( P ＜ 0.01 ), but no significant difference could be observed in contrast with brain was(81.64 ± 0.82)% and (79.26 ± 1.30)% in occlusion and hypothermia groups with significant difference between them( P ＜ 0.05), and it was significantly different between the left side [ (81.64 ± 0. 82 )% ] and opyknosis and deep staining could be observed in nerve ganglion cells in occlusion group under optical microscope, but no obvious pathological changes were observed in MCA supplying brain regions in hypothermia group.CONCLUSION: Permanent infusion of low-temperature fluid into the lateral ventricle plays an important neuroprotective role by attenuating cerebral ischemic-reperfusional impairment and improving post-ischemic neurological functions.

Objective:To explore a simple and effective method of local hypothermia, and to testify its neuroprotective effects . Methods:This experiment adopts twelve adult and healthy New Zealand rabbits as experimental animals. These rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups : ① MCAO (n=6),② MCAO and hypothermia (n=6). The middle cerebral artery (MCA) was exposed through the left orbital approach, and was clipped 2 hours by a 3 mm straight aneurysm clip to establish the MCAO model. We assign 2 cavities ventricle tube to puncture the frontal angle of the lateral ventricle, then 22℃ physiological brine was dropped into the lateral ventricle to reduce the brain temperature in MCAO and hypothermia group. Temperature thermister probes were inserted for measuring the brain and rectal temperatures. The neurological deficits and histological changes of brain tissue were evaluated in all experimental animals.Results: Brain temperature below cortex was descend to 35℃within 20 minutes after hypothermia in MCAO and hypothermia group while rectal temperature has maintained normal. The neurological deficits and histological changes of brain tissue of MCAO and hypothermia group were better than those in MCAO group. Conclusion: The local intra-ventricle hypothermia model is a reliable, cooling rapidly and useful method for selective brain cooling.

Objective To analyze and discuss the possible reasons of the bone resorption beneath the prostheses after chin augmentation.Methods Twelve patients were admitted to our department for further correction after chin augmentation with materials.The bone resorption was observed through the clinical research and X-ray examination.Results All the patients were underwent the removal of the materials,genioplasty was performed in 8 patients,and two patients were treated by chin augmentation with polyethylene.All the patients were satisfied with their facial contouring.Mild bone resorption was found in seven patients (depth of bone resorption ≤2 mm),in which five patients were used with silicone materials,two patients were performed with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implants.Moderate bone resorption was seen in three cases.All of them were used with silicone implants (2 mm ＜ depth of bone resorption ≤4 mm).Severe bone resorption happened in two patients (depth of bone resorption ＞4 mm).One was used with silicone implant,and the other one was carried out with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implant.Conclusions The imbalance among mentalis muscle,materials and underlying bone might be one of the key reasons.Thus for mild and moderate microgenia cases,chin augmentation with material is suitable,while long-term fellow-up study is necessary.But for the cases of severe mirogenia or microgenia and micrognathia with dentofacial deformity or mentalis muscle hyperactivity,genioplasty might be performed as well to correct their deformities.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing in treatment of cutaneous amyloidosis.Methods A total of 68 cases of primary cutaneous amyloidosis patients according to the different treatment methods was divided into two groups:the control group (n =33 cases) that was given acitretin capsules oral and topical compound flumetasone ointment packet treatment,and observation group (n =35 cases) with ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing external treatment.Two groups were observed in patients with curative effect and adverse reaction.Results Disease of integral observation group after treatment was significantly lower than the control group(t =3.12,P ＜0.05).The observation group had the efficiency of [88.6％ (31/35)] that was significantly higher than that of control group[17/33(51.5％),x2 =11.23,P ＜.0.01].The observation group had significantly shorter healing time [(5.38 ± 1.81) d] compared to the control group [(10.75 ±2.06)d,t =11.39,P ＜ 0.01].The observation group did not have recurrence,which was significantly different from the control group (x2 =4.90,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing in treatment of primary cutaneous amyloidosis is a kind of effective treatment methods with remarkable curative effect and less adverse reactions.It is worthy of clinical application.

Objectives:To explore the protective effects of continuous trickle of low temperature liquids through the lateral ventricle on neurons after rabbit local cerebral ischemia reperfusion. Methods: The middle cerebral artery (MCA) of New Zealand rabbit was clipped with micro aneurysm clip for 2 hours and reperfused for 24 hours. Immediately after clipping the MCA, we trickled the left lateral ventricle continuously with low temperature liquids to decrease the brain temperature to mild hypothermia(32-35℃) and maintained for 2 hours. After reperfusion for 24 hours, we assessed the animal's neural deficits, observe the pathology of the ischemic brain tissues dyed by HE and determined the dry wet ratio for brain edema in the sham operated group, the control group and the mild hypothermia group respectively.Results:①The grades of neural deficits in mild hypothermia group were obviously lower than that in the clipping group( P 0.05 );②The dry wet ratios were obviously different in the mild hypothermia group and clipping group;③ Pyknosis and dense dying by HE were observed in the neural nuclei of ischemic cortex tissues of the clipping group, but no obvious changes were observed in the mild hypothermia group. Conclusions:Trickling ventricle with low temperature liquids could alleviate cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, ameliorated neural deficit after ischemia reperfusion and were protective on the brain.
