Primary intraventricular hemorrhage is a rare type of non-traumatic cerebral hemorrhage neurological disorder.Not only has it higher mortality and morbidity,but also complicated etiologies.However,there is still lack of standard diagnostic techniques and treatment methods for decreasing mortality rate and improving prognosis of primary,intraventricular hemorrhage.Rational use of ultra-early hemostatic therapy and acute surgery therapy are considered as clinical treatment strategies to increase survival rate and improve the quality of life for primary intraventricular hemorrhage patients.This paper aims to give review on some etiology,diagnosis and therapy methods of primary intraventricular hemorrhage,and to provide new ideas for the treatment.

Objective To investigate the treatment effect of excision via transoral-nosal-sphenoidal approach on pituitary adenoma and management of postoperative complications.Methods One hundred and four pituitary adenoma patients,admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 and microsurgically treated via transoral-nosal-sphenoidal approach,were chosen in our study.The clinical data of these patients and microsurgical treatment efficacy were analyzed retrospectively and postoperative complications were concluded.Results Total resection was observed in 82 patients (78.8%) and subtotal resection in 22 (21.2%).Forty-two patients got vision improvement with an improvement rate of 80.7%.Hormonal readiness recovered to normal level in 34 patients (44.7%);hormonal readiness being decreased but still higher than normal level was noted in 38 (50.0%).The major postoperative complications included diabetes insipidus,cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea,electrolyte disturbance,hypopituitarism and hemorrhage.The symptoms and signs of patients were improved in varied degrees,and the postoperative complications were controlled.Conclusions The transoral-nosal-sphenoidal approach is an ideal method to resect pituitary adenoma and active management of postoperative complications is essential to the prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of 3D printing technique in the treatment ofintracranial aneurysms.Methods Eight patients with intracranial aneurysms,admitted to our hospital from May 2014 to June 2015,were chosen in our study;three dimensional reconstructions of anatomical models were accomplished by computer aided technology.By rapid prototyping,the intracranial aneurysm models were manufactured,operation project were formulated and preoperative sham-operation was enforced to supervise the intracranial aneurysm clipping.The clinical data and clipping efficacy were retrospectively analyzed.Results Eight patients with 11 intracranial aneurysms at stage Ⅰ were treated successfully with aneurysm clipping via unilateral craniotomy without rupture of aneurysms.Preoperative sham operation shortened the time of operation and reduced the postoperative complications.Glasgow outcome scale scores at hospital discharge indicated that good recovery was noted in 7 patients and mild disability in one.Postoperative CTA or DSA did not show residual aneurysms.Conclusions Three-dimensional printing technology can overall,intuitively,exactly display three-dimensional shape of intracranial aneurysms and spatial relation of anatomic structure.It has important role of supervising treatment of intracranial aneurysms and broad application perspective,thus deserves generalization.

Objective To investigate the relationship between lipoprotein[a] (Lp[a]) level and risk of onset of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SSAH).Methods Thirty-four patients with SSAH,admitted to our hospital from November 2014 to December 2015,were chosen as patient group,and another 40 healthy volunteers were collected as control group.Morning fasting venous blood was collected,and levels of plasma Lp (a),total cholesterol (TC),glycerol triester (TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),apolipoprotein AI (ApoAI) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) were detected.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations of Lp (a) with various lipid components.Results As compared with control group (84.28±57.96 mg/L),patient group had significantly higher Lp(a) level ([170.50±144.58] mg/L,P<0.05);TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoAI and ApoB levels showed no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that Lp(a) level did not correlate to TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoAI and ApoB levels (P>0.05).Conclusion Plasma Lp (a) level is a risk factor for the onset of SSAH.
