Objective:To evaluate the early efficacy and safety of the exclusively transnasal endoscopic approach and the combined transconjunctival-endoscopic approach in the resection of benign orbital apex lesions.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 51 patients who underwent transnasal endoscopic resection of benign lesions in the orbital apex at Peking University Third Hospital from May 2021 to December 2024. The study population was composed of 17 males and 34 females, with the age of (39.4±12.4) years (range: 4 to 65 years). Pathology diagnoses were identified as orbital cavernous hemangioma (OCH, n=38), schwannoma ( n=8), solitary fibrous tumor ( n=1), mucocele ( n=1), optic nerve sheath meningioma ( n=1), pseudotumor ( n=1), and organized hematoma ( n=1). Two surgical approaches were compared as the exclusively transnasal endoscopic resection ( n=27) and the combined transconjunctival-endoscopic approach (combined approach, n=24). Preoperative and postoperative evaluations were conducted for the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, intraocular pressure (IOP), and exophthalmos before and after surgery. Demographic characteristics, tumor features, and postoperative complications were analyzed between the two surgical groups. Differences in Orbital Resection by Intranasal Technique (ORBIT) stage between the two surgical approaches were analyzed. SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results:Among the 51 patients, 3 schwannomas underwent intracapsular resection (1 via exclusively transnasal endoscopic approach, and 2 via combined approach), and the remaining 48 patients underwent complete tumor resection. Significant postoperative improvements were observed in BCVA, visual field, IOP and exophthalmos ( t value was 2.96, 4.34, 4.85, and 4.63, respectively, all P<0.05). The combined approach required longer operative time but showed comparable intraoperative blood loss. Tumors resected via the combined approach were larger in volume, though not statistically significant. Postoperative complications (e.g., diplopia, mydriasis) were more frequent in the combined approach group but resolved within a short-term period. There was no significant difference in ORBIT stage between the two groups ( P=0.178). Conclusions:Both exclusively transnasal and combined transconjunctival-endoscopic approaches prove safe and effective for benign orbital apex lesions resection. The combined approach ensures complete tumor removal.

Objective:To evaluate the early efficacy and safety of transnasal endoscopic surgical resection of orbital cavernous hemangioma (OCH) at orbital resection by intranasal technique (ORBIT) stage Ⅲ.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 20 patients (20 eyes) who underwent nasal endoscopic surgery to remove ORBIT stage Ⅲ OCH at the Third Hospital of Peking University from July 2021 to July 2024. The cohort were included 10 males and 10 females, aged from 25 to 59 years, with a mean follow-up time of (5.10±4.51) months. Preoperative symptoms included visual field defects in 19 patients (95%), decreased visual acuity in 18 patients (90%), exophthalmos in 2 patients (10%), diplopia in 2 patients (10%), headache in 2 patients (10%), ocular pain in 2 patients (10%), and color vision abnormalities in 1 patient (5%). Data on patient demographics, medical history, imaging data, surgical approach, and postoperative outcomes were collected. Pre-and post-surgical outcomes including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, proptosis, and intraocular pressure were compared. Surgical approaches included transnasal endoscopic OCH resection (12 cases, 60%) and transnasal endoscopic combined conjunctival approach OCH resection (8 cases, 40%). The results of the postoperative 2-week review were used as the postoperative short-term efficacy data, and those at 3 months were used for postoperative therapeutic efficacy analysis. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was applied for statistical analysis.Results:In 20 patients, all OCH were completely resected, and the BCVA, visual field, and exophthalmos were significantly improved post-operatively. The differences were statistically significant before and after surgery ( t values were 3.169, 5.127, and 3.350, respectively, all P<0.05). There were no serious complications in the short term after surgery. The short-term complications after endoscopic surgery alone were mainly new-onset diplopia in 1 case (1/12), and the short-term complications after combined approach were new-onset diplopia in 5 cases (5/8) and pupil dilation in 2 cases (2/8). All short-term complications recovered within 3 months, and no serious or permanent complications occurred in the long-term follow. Conclusion:The endoscopic transnasal surgery is a safe and effective approach for complete resection of ORBIT stage Ⅲ OCH, with promising early results.

Objective The biomechanical mechanism of naso-orbito-ethmoid(NOE)combined with zygomatic fractures and the weakness of midfacial bone were investigated,so as to provide a theoretical basis for protection against maxillofacial trauma.Methods CT data of a young male with normal cranio-maxillofacial bones were collected.Then,a human cranio-maxillofacial finite element model was reconstructed using Mimics and other software.The nasal bone,1/3 medial suborbital margin,zygomatic bone,and 1/3 medial supraorbital margin were impacted at a critical velocity of 16 m/s,and impact fractures were simulated.The direction of force conduction,biomechanical variations in the bones,and biomechanical mechanism of NOE combined with zygomatic fractures at different impact velocities in the middle of the face were analyzed.Results Under different working conditions,the stresses in the NOE region with the zygomatic bone exceeded the threshold of 150 MPa when the medial side of the 1/3 medial suborbital margin and 1/3 medial supraorbital margin were impacted at an initial velocity of 16 m/s.Under other working conditions,the stresses in the NOE region and the zygomatic bone did not exceed 150 MPa simultaneously.Conclusions NOE combined with zygomatic fractures is mostly related to high-energy impact.This occurs straightforwardly under a high-speed impact on the 1/3 medial supraorbital margin and 1/3 medial suborbital margin.The inferior orbital wall is a relatively weak area in the middle of the face.

Objective:To investigate the potential effect and mechanism of docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) on hippocampal neuronal apoptosis and c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) protein in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH).Methods:Forty eight SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, sham group, model group and DHA intervention group according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group.The rats in model group and DHA group were injected with autologous blood(0.3 mL) into the optic chiasma to establish the SAH model.Rats in model group were intraperitoneally injected with DHA(35 mg/kg) 3 hours after SAH model establishment, rats in sham operation group were injected with 0.3 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution into the optic chiasma, and rats in control group were fed normally.Neurobehavioral function of all rats was evaluated after 24 hours.The apoptosis of neuron was observed by TUNEL staining, and the expression of phosphorylated JNK(p-JNK)and apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2 was observed by Western blot.Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 7.0 software.One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and Tukey test was used for further pairwise comparison.Results:(1)The differences in neurobehavioral function scores among the 4 groups of rats were statistically significant( F=103.60, P<0.05), the neurobehavioral function scores in model group(8.67±1.37) and DHA intervention group(13.67±1.51) were lower than that in control group(18.00±0.00) and sham group(17.67±0.52)( all P<0.05), while the neurobehavioral function score in DHA intervention group was higher than that in the model group( P<0.05).(2)The results of TUNEL staining showed that there were statistical differences in the number of hippocampal neuron apoptosis among the 4 groups( F=30.76, P<0.05), the number of hippocampal neuron apoptosis in model group(55.67±5.28) was higher than those in control group(25.83±7.06) and sham group(25.50±6.72) (both P<0.05), the number of hippocampal neuron apoptosis in DHA intervention group(35.17±5.78) was lower than that in model group.(3)The results of Western blot showed that there were no statistical differences in the Bax protein levels among the four groups( F=2.00, P>0.05).There were statistical differences in the expression levels of Bcl-2, p-JNK and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio among the 4 groups( F=8.48, 5.69, 5.39, all P<0.05).There was no statistical difference in Bcl-2, p-JNK protein levels and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio between the control group and sham group(all P>0.05).The p-JNK protein levels and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in model group ((1.93±0.25), (2.05±0.86)) were higher than those in sham group ((1.42±0.33), (1.05±0.26)) (both P<0.05), the Bcl-2 protein level in model group (1.04±0.23) was lower than that in sham group (1.61±0.16) ( P<0.05).The p-JNK protein level and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in DHA intervention group((1.43±0.33), (1.19±0.30)) were lower than those in model group(both P<0.05), the Bcl-2 protein level in DHA intervention group(1.42±0.28) was higher than that in model group( P<0.05). Conclusion:DHA can reduce neuronal apoptosis, inhibit the activation of p-JNK and improve neurological function of SAH model rats.
