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 investigate the method of total resection of craniopharyngioma and prevention and treatment of post-operative complications. Methods Pterion craniotomy was performed in 24 patients with craniopharyngioma which was situated in 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 volume, and serum electrolyte of patients were observed strictly after surgery, and complications such as diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte disorders and epilepsy were treated in time. Results Total removal of tumors were achieved in 22 cases, and minor portion of tumors was left in 2 cases. There was not obvious deficit of nervous system function in all of the patients after surgery. Diabetes insipidus, serum electrolyte disorder and body temperature disorder occurred in 16 cases, 12 case, and 6 cases respectively. After treatment, serum electrolyte disorder and body temperature disorder were rectified in all cases, and diabetes insipidus was rectified in 13 of 16 cases. Conclusion Choosing the best operation approach according to the scope of tumor invasion and being familiar with the 4 sellar anatomy spaces were the keys to remove craniopharyngioma completely. Giving glucocorticoid before operation and active treatment of complications such as diabetes insipidus and serum electrolyte disorder could effectively decrease mortality.

Abstract A chiral separation and residue determination method for cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers in apple, grape and tea samples was developed and validated by ultra performance convergence chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( UPC2-QTOF/MS) . The Chrial CCA column was used to separate cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers and the chromatography conditions ( mobile phase modifier and proportion, column temperature, automated backpressure regulator, and auxiliary solvent ) were optimized. Samples were extracted by acetonitrile, and respectively purified by Cleanert TPT or Pesti-Carb solid phase extraction ( SPE ) columns, then analyzed by UPC2-QTOF/MS. The optimum conditions were as follows:mobile phase was CO2/isopropanol (95: 5, V/V), flow-rate was 2. 0 mL/min, automated backpressure regulator (ABPR) was 13. 79 MPa, column temperature was 30℃, with a post-column mauxiliary solvent of methanol/water (1:1, V/V) containing 2 mmol/L ammonium formate. The analyte was quantified by matrix external standard method. The results showed that linear range of this method was 0. 01-1. 00 mg/L, and the correlation coefficients were above 0 . 99 . The recoveries of cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers at three spiked levels (0. 005, 0. 025 and 0. 25 mg/kg) in fruit matrix were 67. 9%-92. 8% with relative standard deviations (RSDs, n=6) less than 10%, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of enantiomers was 0. 005 mg/kg. The recoveries of cis-epoxiconazole enantiomers at three spiked levels (0. 01, 0. 05 and 0. 5 mg/kg) in black tea were 74 . 1% -84 . 0% with RSDs ( n=6 ) less than 8%, and the LOQ for these two enantiomers was 0. 01 mg/kg. This method is rapid, convenient and reliable, and could meet the requirement of residue analysis.

Objective To investigate antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli (E.coli)and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae),antimicrobial use density(AUD),as well as relation between antimicrobial resistance and AUD in a ter-tiary first-class hospital.Methods Antimicrobial resistance rates of clinically-isolated E.coli and K.pneumoniae,AUD of carbapenems and quinolones,as well as relation between resistance and AUD in 2013-2015 were statistically analyzed. Results Correlation analysis of antimicrobial resistance of bacteria and AUD showed that the decrease in resistance rate of E.coli to levofloxacin was related to the decrease in the use density of quinolones(r=0.61,P=0.03);increase in resist-ance rate of K.pneumoniae to imipenem was related to the increase in the use density of carbapenems(r=0.78,P<0.01). Conclusion Antimicrobial use is one of the causes of bacterial resistance,management on antimicrobial use needs to be strengthened to reduce the threat of bacterial resistance to human health.

BACKGROUND:Positioning of the distal locking screws of a tibial intramedulary nail is often chalenging and time consuming. The traditional free-hand technique under fluoroscopic control involves considerable radiation exposure.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of a new electromagnetic navigation system (TRIGEN-SURESHOT navigation system) for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nail in tibial diaphyseal fracture and to compare the effects with the free-hand method.METHODS: Forty-five cases of tibial diaphyseal fracture in the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2014 to August 2015 were analyzed retrospectively, and were divided into two groups. Patients in navigation group (n=23) were treated with intramedullary nail using the TRIGEN-SURESHOT navigation system for distal locking, and the remainings in free-hand group (n=22) were given the free-hand method.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All cases were followed up for 17-32 months. The one-time success rate of distal locking nail operation was 100％ in the navigation group, which was significantly higher than that in the free-hand group (P < 0.05). The locking nail time in the navigation group was significantly less than that in the free-hand group (P < 0.05).No significant differences were found in the incidence of adverse events and fracture healing time between two groups (P > 0.05). To conclude, the effect of the TRIGEN-SURESHOT navigation system for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nail is satisfactory, exhibiting the advantages of short operation time, high success rate, and no radiation.

Objective To explore the differences in the prognosis of patients with different immunophenotypes gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GI-DLBCL) who received different treatment strategies.Methods From March 2006 to January 2016,at Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University in Guangzhou,the clinical data of 99 patients with pathologically confirmed GI-DLBCL were retrospectively analyzed.According to treatment strategies,patients were divided into chemotherapy alone group and combination of surgery and chemotherapy group.According to immunophenotypes,patients were divided into germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) type and non-GCB type.The two-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate were evaluated.Kaplan-Meier analysis,log-rank test and Cox regression were performed for statistical analysis.Results Among the 99 patients with GI-DLBCL,51 patients were treated with chemotherapy alone,and 48 patients were treated with combination of surgery and chemotherapy.Forty-one cases were GCB phenotype and 40 cases were non-GCB phenotype.The median follow-up time was 25 months.The two-year PFS and OS rates were 70.9％ and 89.5％,respectively.The two-year PFS and OS rates of chemotherapy alone group were 63.6％ and 85.0％,respectively;both were lower than those of combination of surgery and chemotherapy group (79.4％ and 94.7％),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =4.232,P =0.040 and x2 =4.260,P =0.039).The two-year PFS and OS rates of GCB group were 68.8％ and 93.9％,respectively.And the two-year PFS and OS rates of non-GCB group were 73.2％ and 85.6％,respectively.There were no statistically significant differences between these two groups (both P ＞ 0.05).Among 41 patients with GCB type,25 were treated with combination of surgery and chemotherapy and 16 were treated with chemotherapy alone.The two-year PFS rate of patients treated with combination of surgery and chemotherapy (83.1％) was higher than that of patients treated with chemotherapy alone (49.2％),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =5.627,P =0.018).The results of multivariate analysis indicated that treatment strategy was not an independent prognostic factor for all the enrolled patients and in patients with GCB type (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Immunophenotypes may lack evaluation value of prognosis in patients with GI-DLBCL.Although among all the enrolled patients and patients with GCB type,the prognosis of patients treated with combination of surgery and chemotherapy is better than that of patients treated with chemotherapy alone,treatment strategy is not an independent prognostic factor.Multi-factors should be evaluated before selection of treatment strategy.

Objective To explore whether the prognostic efficiency of international prognostic index (IPI) can be further improved by interim 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT.Methods A total of 185 patients (116 males,69 females;average age 49 years) with pathologically confirmed diffuse large Bcell lymphoma (DLBCL) from January 2004 to January 2014 were enrolled in this retrospective study.The risk was classified by IPI (0-2 was considered as low risk,3-5 was considered as high risk) and all patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scan before and after 4 cycles of immunochemotherapy.Based on interim 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging,5-point Deauville score was used to reclassify DLBCL patient into negative group and positive group,and the interpretations were evaluated for 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates.Kaplan-Meier analysis,log-rank test and Cox regression were used for data analysis.Results With a median follow-up of 27 (2-146) months,the 2-year PFS and OS rates were 60％(111/185) and 81％(150/185),respectively.A total of 114 patients were included in the low-risk group and 71 patients were in the high-risk group.Both 2-year PFS rates and OS rates between the 2 groups were statistically different:72％(82/114) vs 37％(26/71),x2=20.86,P＜0.01;90％(103/114) vs 63％(45/71),x2=13.39,P＜0.01.The interim PET/CT showed 113 patients with negative results and 72 patients with positive results,whose 2-year PFS rates and OS rates were also statistically different:82％ (93/113) vs 24％(17/72),x2 =66.66,P＜0.01;90％(102/113) vs 51％(37/72),x2 =33.11,P＜0.01.In the low-risk group,85 patients were PET-negative and 29 patients were PET-positive.The 2-year PFS rates were 88％ (75/85) and 31％(9/29),respectively (x2 =35.52,P＜0.01).The 2-year OS rates were 96％ (82/85) and 66％(19/29),respectively (x2 =11.88,P＜0.01).In the high-risk group,28 patients were PET-negative and 43 patients were PET-positive.The 2-year PFS and OS rates were 64％(18/28) vs 19％(8/43;x2 =17.33,P＜0.01) and 86％(24/28) vs 49％(21/43;x2=9.95,P＜0.01),respectively.Conclusions Both IPI and interim 18F-FDG PET/CT have the prognostic value for patients with DLBCL.Interim 18F-FDG PET/CT can improve the prognostic efficiency of IPI.
