von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary tumor predisposition syndrome. Central nervous system hemangioblastoma is one of its major clinical manifestations, commonly occurring in the infratentorial region and spinal cord, while supratentorial involvement is rare. A 23-year-old female patient with sellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, along with polycystic pancreas, who presented with back pain and decreased vision in the left eye, was reported. The diagnosis of VHL disease was confirmed based on family history, pathological findings, and genetic testing. This case was reported to enhance clinicians′ awareness of this disease, facilitating early diagnosis and intervention for patients and their families to improve clinical outcomes.

BACKGROUND:The"inflammatory storm"induced by microglia is an important pathological factor causing the death of neuronal cells after spinal cord injury,which is extremely unfavorable for the recovery after spinal cord injury.Dihydroquercetin belongs to the vitamin P group and has excellent biological activity.It has good anti-inflammatory,anti-lipid peroxidation and neuroprotective effects on spinal cord injury.The mechanism by which it promotes the repair of spinal cord injury needs to be further clarified.OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether dihydroquercetin can ameliorate the inflammatory state induced after spinal cord injury through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties for the purpose of protection against spinal cord injury.METHODS:Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham operation group,spinal cord injury group,low-dose dihydroquercetin group,and high-dose dihydroquercetin group according to the random number table method.The sham operation group only underwent laminectomy and was given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline after the operation.Animal models of spinal cord injury were made in the latter three groups.After the operation,normal saline,30 mg/kg,and 50 mg/kg dihydroquercetin were given by intraperitoneal injection respectively,and samples were collected 4 weeks after the operation.The Basso-Beatte-Bresnahan(BBB)limb motor function score and mechanical paw withdrawal threshold were used to evaluate the limb motor function and pain recovery of rats.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of spinal cord tissue;Nissl staining was used to observe the number of Nissl bodies and the morphology of neurons.The activity of superoxide dismutase in spinal cord tissue was detected.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of reactive oxygen species and microglia Iba1.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of Iba1 and interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,interleukin-10,tumor necrosis factor-α,and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in the spinal cord.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In the behavioral test,the BBB limb motor function score showed that since 14 days after the operation,the BBB limb motor function score of the high-dose dihydroquercetin group was significantly better than that of the spinal cord injury group(P<0.01);the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold was significantly lower in the high-dose dihydroquercetin than the spinal cord injury group at 21 days after the operation(P<0.05),and the former group showed better motor function.(2)Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Nissl staining showed that compared with the spinal cord injury group,the high-dose dihydroquercetin group showed slightly swollen but structurally intact and clearer neuron morphology in the spinal cord tissue,and the number of Nissl bodies increased.(3)Superoxide dismutase detection:Compared with the spinal cord injury group,the activity of superoxide dismutase in the spinal cord tissue of the high-dose dihydroquercetin increased significantly(P<0.05).(4)Reactive oxygen species immunofluorescence detection:Compared with the spinal cord injury group,the high-dose dihydroquercetin could significantly reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species after spinal cord injury(P<0.05).(5)Detection of microglial marker Iba1:Compared with the spinal cord injury group,the high-dose dihydroquercetin could significantly reduce the expression of microglial marker Iba1 after spinal cord injury(P<0.01).(6)Western blot detection results showed that compared with the spinal cord injury group,the expressions of inflammatory factors(interleukin-1β,interleukin-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α)and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in the high-dose dihydroquercetin group decreased significantly(P<0.01),while the expression of anti-inflammatory factor interleukin-10 increased significantly(P<0.01).These findings indicate that dihydroquercetin can effectively reverse the expression changes of multiple inflammatory markers induced after spinal cord injury in rats,thereby exerting neuroprotective effects and improving motor function.

Objective:To find a method for fertility preservation through oocytes retrieval during gynecological operation and provide an experimental basis for patients who are not suitable for fertility preservation by transvaginal oocyte retrieval.Methods:The objects of the study were patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the Affiliated Reproductive Hospital of Shandong University from April to June 2020 and patients with tumors who underwent fertility preservation during gynecological surgery. This was a retrospective study. Totally 23 patients with PCOS infertility who were to undergo laparoscopy surgery underwent ovarian surface follicle puncture for oocyte retrieval, and the oocytes were obtained and sent to the assisted reproduction laboratory for in vitro culture, and mature oocytes were inseminated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and high-quality embryos were obtained for cryopreservation. Gynecological surgery and ovarian surface follicle puncture were performed for oocytes retrieval in tumor patients ( n=6) with fertility preservation. The feasibility of simultaneous gynecological surgery with oocytes retrieved was evaluated according to the indexes of the number of oocytes retrieval, maturation, fertilization and embryo culture. Results:In PCOS patients, oocytes retrieved rate was 52.17% (12/23) per cycle. The number of oocytes retrieved was 2.00±1.48, among which the number of culturable oocytes was 1.50±1.00. The oocyte maturation rate was 22.22% (4/18). Two oocytes got fertilization and one zygote got cleavage. In contrast, the fertility-preserving oncology patients undergoing gynecologic surgery had a 100.00% (6/6) oocytes retrieved rate per cycle, with 3.00±1.27 oocytes retrieved. Oocyte maturation rate was 38.46% (5/13). Three oocytes got fertilization and one blastocyst formed. Three patients got oocytes or embryos cryopreservation.Conclusion:For patients who are not suitable for transvaginal oocyte retrieval for fertility preservation, follicle puncture during the gynecologic operation can yield available oocytes.
