Objective To investigate the value of neuronavigation system in resection of pituitary adenoma through the endonasal transsphenoidal approach. Methods Twenty-one patients with pituitary adenomas underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT scans studies. The image datasets were transported into the neuronavigation system. The anatomic information of approach was reconstructed for three-dimensional visualization and the best approach was designed. The midline structure and internal carotid artery were displayed in real-time intraoperatively, the anterior-wall of sphenoidal sinus and the floor of sella were accurately opened and the tumor was resected guiding by neuronavigation system. Results All the operations were smoothly and accurately performed under the neuronavigation by transsphenoidal approach. No injury occurred in the internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus. After surgery, 13 patients got better vision and visual field. Postoperative transient diabetes insipidus was found in 11 cases, and CSF leak in 1 and serious hyponatremia in 2 cases. Total tumor removal was achieved in 17 patients and subtotal removal in 2 cases during operations, which were confirmed by postoperative MRI. Three-month follow-up data showed only one recurrence case (subtotal tumor removal), the recurrence rate was 4.8%. Conclusion Neuronavigation system provided real-time localization with three-dimensional anatomic information of the endonasal transsphenoidal approach during pituitary adenomas surgery. As a result, the approach proceeds more smoothly and accurately, the tumor can be resected more completely, the surgical injury and complications can also be reduced.

PURPOSE: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirabegron add-on therapy to solifenacin for patients with overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature review to identify all randomized, double-blind, controlled trials (RCTs) of this combination (mirabegron and solifenacin) for OAB. Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. A manual search was also performed to investigate relevant references from the retrieved studies. RESULTS: Four publications describing 5 RCTs that compared combination therapy with solifenacin, including a total of 3,309 patients, were analyzed. The mean number of micturitions per 24 hours (mean difference [MD], -0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.65 to -0.26; P < 0.00001), number of episodes of incontinence per 24 hours (MD, -0.71; 95% CI, -0.14 to -0.02; P=0.04), volume voided per micturition, and number of urgency episodes per 24 hours demonstrated that combination therapy was more effective than solifenacin therapy alone. Safety assessments, including common treatment-emergent adverse events (odds ratio, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.95–1.27; P=0.23) and discontinuations due to adverse events (P=0.30), demonstrated that the combination therapy was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggests that mirabegron therapy as an add-on to solifenacin provides a satisfactory therapeutic effect for OAB symptoms with a low occurrence of side effects.

Objective To observe the characteristic of the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain map in health adult undergoing clenching and relaxing the fist, for exploring the essence of the fMRI brain map in patients suffering from motor dysfunction by cerebrovascular accidents. Methods Twelve healthy volunteers had been chosen to partake the experience. Everyone had accomplished the following three actions separately: (1) Only clenching and relaxing the fist of left hand. (2) Only clenching and relaxing the fist of right hand. (3) Clenching and relaxing the fist of both hands at one time. The data had been analyzed statistically using analysis of functional neuroimages (AFNI) software. Results Under condition of F (6,1121), P = 0.005. Only clenching and relaxing the fist of left hand had gained the following brain functional area: right precentral gyms, left parietal,right superior temporal gyrus,right parietal, right parahippocampal gyrus, right superior frontal gyrus, right medial frontal gyrus, left precuneus, right superior parietal lobule, right middle frontal gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus. Only clenching and relaxing the fist of right hand had gained the following brain functional area: left precentral gyms, left postcentral gyrus right parietal, right medial frontal gyrus. Clenching and relaxing the fist of beth hands simultaneously had gained the following brain functional area: left precentral gyms,left postcentral gyrus, right precentral gyrus, right postcentral gyrus. Conclusions Hand movement (clenching and relaxing the fist) has its own specific brain activated areas. The brain areas activated by clenching and relaxing the fist of both hands simultaneously concentrate in the motor area of both cerebral hemisphere. The brain areas activated by clenching and relaxing the fist of single hand contain not only the motor area, but also the supplementary motor area. As compared with the right handedness, the brain areas activated by clenching and relaxing the fist of left hand is more widespread.
