ObjectiveTo discuss the causes and the managem ent of hemorrhagic c omplications after sterotactic surgery for Parkinson's disease (PD).Me thodsA total of 350 PD patients unresponsive to drug therapy from April 1999 to Decemb er 2001 underwent sterotactic surgery. Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 6 cas es, consisting of 3 cases of lesion hemorrhage and 3 cases of puncture path hemo rrhage.ResultsOf the 6 cases, 4 were treated by surgical ope rations, with re covery of consciousness but hemiplegia left, and 2 were treated conservatively w ithout dysfunction left. No fatal cases were seen in the study.Conclus ionsHe morrhagic complications are often in association with repeated puncture, excessi ve heat, operative skills, patient's general condition and so on. Accurate targe t location by MRI combined with microelectrode guidance, reduce of microelectrod e recording times, lowering of the lesion temperature, and sufficient perioperat ive care contribute to the prevention of intracranial hemorrhagic complications.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical effects of X-kn ife in the treatment of intracranial meningiomas.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 52 cases of intracranial meningioma treated by X-knife was made. The peripheral dose was (10 ～20) Gy, with a mean of 13 Gy. Follow-up checkups consisted of clinical examina tions and contrast-enhanced CT scans.ResultsAfter the treatm ent, unilateral m ild hemiplegia occurred in 1 case (1 9%) and local epileptic attack occurred in 2 cases (3 8%). Imaging findings revealed asymptomatic transient peritumoral ed e ma in 12 cases (23 1%). Follow-up imaging lasting (3～92) months (mean, 23 mont hs ) in 40 cases (76 9%) found regression of tumor in 18 cases (45 0%) and unchan ge d tumor size in 22 cases (55 0%).ConclusionsX-knife is an e ffective and safe procedure for meningiomas.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of the dual channel deep brain s timulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD). MethodsThirte en patients with PD presenting bilateral symptoms underwent dual channel DBS of bilateral subthal amic nucleus. The targets were identified by a combination of MRI scanning and m icroelectrode recording. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores were evaluated postoperatively.ResultsAll the 13 patients w ere followed for 3 months～3 years, with a mean of 6 3 months. When the pulse generator was tur ned on, UPDRS motor scores showed 62 3% symptomatic improvement (75 5% improve me nt in those responsive to dopaminergic therapy) during the “off” status and 24 2% during the “on” status. No complications occurred.Conclusions DBS of bilateral subthalamic nucleus may significantly improve the motor functions in PD patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effects of microelectrode guided stereotactic pallidotomy and/or thalamotomy and deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the management of Parkinson's disease.MethodsA total of 510 patients with P arkinson's disease underwent stereotactic operations and 30 patients underwent D BS from April 1999 to March 2003. The 510 cases consisted of 385 cases of poster oventral pallidotomy (PVP), 91 cases of ventral intermedius (Vim) thalamotomy, 1 2 cases of PVP together with Vim thalamotomy on the same side, 8 cases of PVP on both sides at the same time, 10 cases of PVP on both sides at different times, and 4 cases of PVP on one side while Vim thalamotomy on the other at different t imes. Of the 30 cases of DBS (unilateral, 18 cases; bilateral, 12 cases), target s were located in subthalamic nucleus(STN) in 29 cases and ventralis intermedius nucl eus in 1 case.ResultsUnified Parkinson's disease rating scal e (UPDRS) scores were recorded postoperatively. Of the 510 cases, during the “off” and “on” stat es, symptoms improved by 47 3% and 38 7%, respectively. “On-off” phenomena a nd m otor symptoms disappeared. Follow-up information with a mean of 11 6 months in 2 20 cases revealed excellent outcomes in 130 cases (59 1%), improved in 75 (34 1%), a nd no change in 15 (6 8%). Of the 30 cases of DBS, during the “off” and “on ” state s, symptoms improved by 45 2% and 25 7%, respectively. All the 30 patients wer e followed for a mean of 10.3 months. No parameter adjustment was needed after 1 p ostoperative month in 18 cases, while the adjustment after operation was require d in the remaining 12 cases.ConclusionsPallidotomy is much m ore effective th an thalamotoy in Parkinson's patients with tremor. DBS can effectively control t he patient's motor symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the matching degree of donor's and receptor's tissue typing and analyze the relationship between the degree and the early survival of cardiac transplantation with donor's and receptor's tissue typing of 9 cases of cardiac transplantation. Methods In accordance with the international standard, donor's and receptor's blood type, HLA antibody, lymphocytotoxicity and panel reactive antibody were determined in 9 cases of cardiac transplantation, and the donor's and receptor's matching degree evaluated by methods of amino acid triplets and cross-reactive group. Results Of 9 cases, 6 survived while 3 died. Of the 3 dead cases, 2 came respectively from the two best comprehensively evaluated matching cases and two worst, and postoperative biopsy showed that there was no rejection in either survival cases or the dead cases. Conclusion With the effective immunosuppressant, the HLA typing doesn't affect the early survival.

Objective To explore the use of lamivudine alone induced the poor response,especially the related factors of the occurrence of YMDD.Methods Retrospective analysis of 160 cases of the poor answering cases after lamivudine treatment,the baseline parameter values,the time appearing to the poor answering and the HBVDNA load in treatment were analyzed,to study their relationship with poor response.Results The lamivudine prolonged,the poor response to the probability gradually increase.The mutation rate in the 12nd month was 19.67％ and in the 36th month was 49.18％ ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Response to the many reasons,the YMDD mutation is the more common one.The relationship among HBVDNA load,ALT level on baseline and the rate of poor response emergence,the YMDD mutation rate was clear.By comparison in groups,the difference was significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The lower baselins of ALT level,the higher of HBVDNA load,the greater probability of the poor response and the YMDD mutation.

Objective:To investigate the metabolism changes in corpus striatum of hemiparkinsonian monkeys after chronic high frequency stimulation in subthalamic nucleus (STN) by SPECT and PET imaging. Methods: Two hemiparkinsonian monkeys, induced by unilateral internal carotid artery infusion of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropy-rindine (MPTP), were implanted with stimulation electrodes in STN of lesioned side according to stereotaxic atlas of the monkey brain. SPECT and PET examination were performed before and 1, 3 months after stimulation. Results: PD symptoms of monkeys, including rigidity, bradykinesia and gait abnormality, were significantly improved. SPECT imaging indicated that dopamine transporter (DAT) binding to corpus striatum in stimulated side increased and D 2 receptor (D 2 R) decreased to the level of unlesioned side after stimulating. PET imaging showed that right corpus striatum had lower density than left corpus striatum before stimulation. One month after chronic high frequency stimulation, bilateral corpus striatum had low density, but the right was slightly higher than that of the left;3 months after stimulation the right was obviously higher than the left . Conclusion: The symptoms of hemiparkinsonian monkeys can be obviously improved by STN deep brain stimulation(DBS). The increased DAT binding and glucose metabolism of corpus striatum in stimulated side and the decreased D 2 R binding after stimulation suggest that the activity of striatal dopaminergic system may be promoted by STN DBS.
