Objective To explore the way and effect of minimally invasive surgery of intracranial aneurysms.Methods 42 aneurysms from 40 patients were clipped under microscope, including 15 cases assisted with endoscope, 2 cases with neuronavigation and 2 cases with endovascular technique.Results 36 aneurysms were clipped, of which 2 were removed and 4 were wrapped. There were no parental arteries clipped incorrectly and no narrowing of the parental arterys under the helping of endoscope. Endovascular technique was applied in two large paraclinoid aneurysms, one was successfully clipped and the other was failed in procedure, but we dissected and clipped it at last by pressing the ICA. Two aneurysms were successfully located and removed under the help of neuronavigation.Conclusion Microneurosurgery combined with neuroendoscope, endovascularity and neuronavigation may reduce surgical injure and improve treatment effect.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of primary central nervous system malignant lymphoma (PCNSML). Methods The clinical data of 22 cases of PCNSML were analyzed retrospectively.Results The patients in our study mainly presented with headache (16 cases), vomiting (11 cases), weakness of extremities (5 cases) and numbness (1 case). The tumors were supratentorial in 19cases, infratentorial in 3 cases and multiple in 5 cases. CT scan showed same density or high-density lesions with surrounding mild edema. Brain MRI demonstrated slight-hypointense lesion of 9 cases and isointense lesion of 5 cases on T1-weighted imaging. On the T2-weighted imaging, the lesions were slight-hyperintense in 11 cases and isointense in 3 cases. Enhanced scanning showed that the lesions were contrasted evenly and obviously on CT and MRI. Misdiagnosis was given preoperatively in 17 patients. The pathological examination revealed B cell malignant lymphoma in all cases. In 18 cases of follow-up, 5 patients with multiple lesions who only received stereotactic biopsy all died within 6 months, the mean survival time of 6 patients who were treated with total resection of the tumors and radiotherapy was 27 months, 4 patients treated with partial resection and ?-radiotherapy was 21 months, 4 patients treated with partial resection and radiotherapy was 10 months. The patient who was treated with only total resection of the tumor died in 11 months because of recurrent. Two patients with only partial resection died in 5 and 8 months, respectively.Conclusions There are no specific clinical manifestations of PCNSML and the disease is often misdiagnosed preoperatively. Although certain characteristic performance may be found on CT and MRI scans, the final diagnosis of this disease depends on pathological examination. Comprehensive treatments may prolong the survival time of the patients.

[Abstract ] Objective At present, few studies are reported on procalciton (PCT) and endotoxin (ET) in the diagnosis of urosepsis after percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( PCNL) .The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of the detection of serum procalcitonin and endotoxin in the early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 427 cases of upper urinary tract stones treated by PCNL , among which urosepsis developed postoperatively in 49 ( the urosepsis group ) and the other 378 non-urosepsis cases served as controls .At 1 day and 2 hours before PCNL , we detected the levels of serum ET and PCT and analyzed the PCT and ET levels and the results of combined detection in the two groups of patients using the ROC curve. Results At 2 hours before surgery , both the levels of PCT and ET were significantly higher in the urosepsis group than in the non-urosepsis controls ([ 5.18 ±4.43 ] vs [ 1.38 ±1.01 ] ng/mL, P<0.01;[50.91 ±35.45] vs [17.86 ±10.78] pg/mL, P<0.01).ROC curve analyses manifested that the areas under the curve (AUC) of PCT and ET were 0.841 ±0.038 and 0.786 ± 0.043, their sensitivities were 79.6%and 71.4%, and their specificities were 78.0%and 70.1%, respectively.The combined de-tection showed the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity to be 0.915 ±0.029, 85.7%, and 86.5%, respectively, all significantly higher than either PCT or ET detection alone (P<0.01). Conclusion The combined detection of PCT and ET can significantly increase the sensitivity and specificity of early diagnosis of urosepsis after PCNL and is superior to either PCT or ET detection alone .

Objective To evaluate the effect of sodium nitroprusside(SNP)and N-nitro-l-arginine-mythel-ester (L-NAME) on apoptosis of spermatogenic cells in rats. Methods Fourty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (60-70days) were divided into four groups.Each group was injected intraperitoneally with one of the following agents, once a day, for 12 days: 1. SNP; 2.L-NAME;3.SNL+L-NAME;4.Normal saline NS group.Two hours after the last time injection the rats were sacrificed.TUNEL staining and flow cytometry analysis were used to detect the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells. Results Sub-monoploid and apoptosis index (AI) in SNP group was significantly higher than that of NS group and sub-monoploid and apoptosis index (AI) in L-NAME group were significantly lower than that of NS group by FCM and TUNEL (P0.5) was found.Conclusion SNP can accelerate the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and L-NAME can inhibite the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells,The effect of SNP and L-NAME on apoptosis of spermatogenic cells probably occurs through the action of nitric oxide.
