Objective:To comprehensively understand the operational status and existing problems of the neurosurgery professional training bases for standardized residency training in Guangdong Province.Methods:According to the scoring rules of "Standardized Residency Training Evaluation Indicators—Surgery (Neurosurgery) Professional Base" formulated by the Post-Graduation Medical Education Neurosurgery Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, 28 training bases were supervised and evaluated. The scoring results of the supervision of 28 neurosurgery training bases were collected, and the training bases were divided into two categories according to the traditional teaching history, 6 affiliated hospitals of traditional medical schools and 22 non-traditional affiliated/teaching hospitals. GraphPad 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the 14 core indicators, and t-test, variance analysis and Chi-square test were used for analysis. Results:The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the compliance rate of 14 core indicators between traditional teaching hospitals and non-traditional teaching hospitals ( P = 0.003), skill operation and type and number of surgeries ( P = 0.041) and student rotation plan ( P = 0.012). The differences were also statistically significant. Conclusion:This study reveals that the comprehensive management ability of training bases in traditional teaching hospitals is significantly better than that in non-traditional teaching hospitals. Additionally, it's suggested to strengthen the construction of professional bases, enhance the institutionalized management of bases, and thus realize the homogenization training of neurosurgery residents.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative treatment has become an increasingly important aspect of the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small-scale clinical studies performed in recent years have shown improvements in the major pathological remission rate after neoadjuvant therapy, suggesting that it will soon become an important part of NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant immunotherapy may be accompanied by serious adverse reactions that lead to delay or cancelation of surgery, additional illness, and even death, and have therefore attracted much attention. The purpose of the clinical recommendations is to form a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for the current domestic medical situation for the immune-related adverse event (irAE). METHODS: This recommendation is composed of experts in thoracic surgery, oncologists, thoracic medicine and irAE related departments (gastroenterology, respirology, cardiology, infectious medicine, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency section) to jointly complete the formulation. Experts make full reference to the irAE guidelines, large-scale clinical research data published by thoracic surgery, and the clinical experience of domestic doctors and publicly published cases, and repeated discussions in multiple disciplines to form this recommendation for perioperative irAE. RESULTS: This clinical recommendation covers the whole process of prevention, evaluation, examination, treatment and monitoring related to irAE, so as to guide the clinical work comprehensively and effectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative irAE management is an important part of immune perioperative treatment of lung cancer. With the continuous development of immune perioperative treatment, more research is needed in the future to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative irAE.

Objective: To investigate the anatomical and surgical approaches to middle cranial fossa through orbital lateral wall under endoscope. Methods: Cadaveric formalin fixed specimens and fresh colored silicone injected specimens were used for this study. All anatomic technical measurements were performed under 0° and 30° endoscope and infrared rays navigation. The surgical approach was designed with the bony opening on the lateral wall of orbit through which the lateral side of the middle cranial fossa could be directly entered under endoscope. One case of recurrent meningioma was performed through this surgical approach. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: The approach can directly enter the middle cranial fossa and expose anatomic landmarks including superior orbital fissure, lateral side of cavernous sinus, foramen rotundum, foramen ovale, foramen spinosum, petrosal bone and others as well as Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ cranial nerves under endoscope. The maximal bony opening through the lateral wall of orbit was measured, with a horizontal diameter of (1.38±0.68) cm, a vertical diameter of (2.02±0.32) cm, a depth of (1.44±0.42) cm from bony opening margin to the dura. The recurrent meningioma involving lateral side of the middle skull base was successfully removed by this surgical approach through lateral wall of orbit. Conclusion Lateral transorbital endoscopic approach to the lateral side of middle skull base is a safe, feasible, and minimally invasive method, which allows surgeons to directly manipulate diseases involving this area with good visualization and minimal invasion under endoscope.

Objective To investigate the microsurgical effect of spinal cord Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma.Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with spinal cord Intramedullary cavernous henangioma from January,2003 to March,2017 were analyzed retrospectively.McCormick clinical neurological function classification method and MRI examination were used to analyze the changes of neurological function and imaging changes beforeand-after operation.MRI and assess nerve function were reviewed 6-12 months after discharge.Results Twentytwo cases were totally resected,and subtotal excised in 1 case.The symptoms improved and even disappeared completely in 17 cases.There was no obvious improvement in 4 cases,2 cases were worse and no death cases.Twentyone cases were followed-up.The follow-up time was 3 months-9 years,and no tumor recurrence was found.Among the 14 cases of clinical neurological function Ⅰ-Ⅱ,10 cases recovered rapidly and most of the symptoms improved or even disappeared.Three cases had no obvious change.The other 1 case aggravated symptoms;Six cases of Ⅲ-Ⅳ patients in 7 cases of postoperative recovery,and 1 case of no change.According to preoperative neurological function grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ,the treatment effect of patients was compared,the difference was significant (x2=5.25,P＜0.05).Conclusion Microsurgical resection of spinal cord Intramedullary cavernous hemangioma is safe and effective.The preoperative nerve function,the relationship between the tumor and the spinal cord,and the surgical skill and the degree of resection are the important factors that affect the prognosis.

Our previous works disclosed the contributing role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and dopaminergic inhibition by lysine dimethyltransferase G9a/Glp complex in peripheral nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity. We herein propose that the proinflammatory cytokine MIF participates in the regulation of neuropathic hypersensitivity by interacting with and suppressing the descending dopaminergic system. The lumbar spinal cord (L-SC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) are two major locations with significant upregulation of MIF after chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve, and they display time-dependent changes, along with a behavioral trajectory. Correspondingly, dopamine (DA) content shows the reverse characteristic change to MIF with a time-dependent curve in post-surgical behavior. The levels of both MIF and DA are reversed by the MIF tautomerase inhibitor ISO-1, and a negative relationship exists between MIF and DA. The reversed role of ISO-1 also affects tyrosine hydroxylase expression. Furthermore, CCI induces Th promoter CpG site methylation in the L-SC and VTA areas, and this effect could be abated by ISO-1 administration. G9a/SUV39H1 and H3K9me2/H3K9me3 enrichment within the Th promoter region following CCI in the L-SC and VTA was also decreased by ISO-1. In cultured dopaminergic neurons, rMIF enhanced the recruitment of G9a and SUV39H1, followed by an increase in H3K9me2/H3K9me3. These molecular changes correspondingly exhibited alterations in Th promoter CpG site methylation and pain behaviors. In summary, MIF functions as a braking factor in curbing dopaminergic descending inhibition in peripheral nerve injury-induced hypersensitivity by mediating Th gene methylation through G9a/SUV39H1-associated H3K9 methylation.

Objective We evaluate if supplementary grading system can refine patient selection and accurately predict neurological outcome in BAVM. Methods We retrospectively study 221 BAVM patients who were treated micro?surgically by our hospital. The score of pre and post operation mRS and relative clinical, radiology data were collected. Two different logistic models (Spetzler-Martin, Supplementary Spetzler-Martin grading model) were constructed to com?pare the area under ROC. Results Some factors are significant different between worse outcome patients and good out?come patients:Non-hemorrhagic presentations prior surgery, AVM bigger than 3cm, diffuse shape of AVM and the elder patients. Predictive accuracy was higher for the supplementary model (ROC area, 0.91), than the Spetzler-Martin model (ROC area, 0.774). So the predictive accuracy of supplementary model was significantly better than that of the Spet?zler-Martin model (P=0.0362). Conclusions Supplementary Spetzler-Martin model can improve preoperative risk pre?diction and subgroup the patients more efficiently. When the score less than 5(including 5) in supplementary Spet?zler-Martin patients seem to have lower risk relative to surgery.

Objective To observe the effect of ADM3100 on angiogenesis in rat models of cerebral chronic hypoperfusion (CCH) and its mechanism.Methods Thirty-six healthy female SD rats,weighting 200-250 g,were randomly divided in normal control group,CCH+AMD3100 group and CCH+saline group (n=12);rats in the CCH+AMD3100 group and CCH+saline group underwent end-to-side anastomosis between the left distal external jugular vein (EJV) and the ipsilateral common carotid artery,followed by ligation of the right vein draining the transverse sinus and bilateral external carotid arteries,and then,they were received intraperitoneal injection of 5 mg/ (kg·d) ADM3100 and physiological saline,respectively,for a consecutive 30 d.Rats were then scarified;microvessel density (MVD) was assessed based on immunohistochemistry of CD34,numbers of CXCR4 and CD45 double positive cells were confirmed by double immunofluorescence,and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) was evaluated by Western blotting.Results MVD was 61.82±19.83/mm2,89.50±23.61/mm2 and 121.70 ±31.12/mm2 in the normal control group,CCH+AMD3100 group and CCH+saline group,respectively;numbers of CXCR4 and CD45 double positive cells were 3.47±2.63,7.58±4.49 and 12.33± 6.11 per high power field (×200) in normal control group,CCH+AMD3100 group and CCH+saline group,respectively;significant differences between groups were noted (P＜0.05).As compared with the expression of MMP-9 in the normal control group,that in the CCH+AMD3100 group and CCH+saline group was significantly increased (0.009±0.003,0.151 ±0.058 and 0.325 ±0.068,P＜0.05).As compared with CCH+saline group,CCH+AMD3100 group had significantly smaller MVD and numbers of CXCR4 and CD45 double positive cells and lower MMP-9 level (P＜0.05).Conclusion AMD3100 will decrease angiogenesis in rat models of cerebral chronic hypoperfusion,which may be associated with inhibiting CXCR4+ CD45+ cells infiltration into cerebral tissue by blocking stromal cells-derived factor-1 α/CXCR4 signaling.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment strategy of brain arteriovenous malforma-tions(AVM) associated with arterial aneurysms. Methods The clinical manifestation, imaging data, treatment and out-come of the patients with AVM were retrospectively analyzed in 38(10.4%) of these 364 patients. Results Hemorrhage was the most common clinical manifestation (60.5%). The hemorrhage risk was higher in AVM associated with arterial an-eurysms than in single AVM(χ2=5.956,P<0.05). The most common type of associated aneurysms was feeding artery an-eurysm (69.4%). Hemorrhage more frequently occurred within the aneurysm.(χ2=8.869,P<0.05). The bleeding lesions and 43 associated aneurysms of the 37 patients were treated effectively by endovascular treatment and/or craniotomy. Thirty-four patients had excellent or good outcomes, six patients had complications, 3 patients had neurological deficits. Postoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination showed the complete disappearance of arteriovenous malformation and aneurysm in sixteen cases. Conclusions The AVM associated with aneurysms is common in patients with AVM. AVM associated with aneurysms has a higher risk of hemorrhage than single AVM. The aneurysm within AVM has a higher rate of hemorrhage. The treatment priority should be given to the bleeding lesions and aneurysms.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of multimodality treatment of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) with Onyx embolization and microsurgery.Methods There were 48 patients with BAVM treated by combination of Onyx embolization and microsurgery.The clinical features,therapeutic process,complications and discharge status (by MRI,DSA and Glasgow outcome scale,GOS) were recorded in detail.The prognosis was estimated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) with 6-42 months' follow-up.Results The total resection rate was 97.9％.The therapy-related complications happened in 8 patients (16.7％).Among them,4 cases had dysfunction of central nervous system (8.3％),2 cases with intra-cerebral hemorrhage (4.2％),and 2 suffered from severe cerebral edema (4.2％).Good recovery was seen in 38 cases (79.2％) evaluated by GOS when discharged from hospital.The follow-up result mRS ＜ 3 was 97.9％.Conclusion Multimodality treatment of BAVM with Onyx embolization and microsurgery should be a good therapeutic strategy.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic strategies of one patient with meningioangiomatosis ( MA ) complicated with intracranial aneurysm formation. Methods The clinical data of one patient with aneurysm-formed MA admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University was analyzed retrospectively. The patient received emergency craniotomy and middle cerebral artery aneurysm clipping and evacuation of intracranial hematoma. The meningeal tissue around the aneurysm was taken for pathological examination. Results Microscopy revealed meningeal thickening in the patient with MA accompanied with intracranial aneurysm. Spindle cells around the meninges and perivascular tissue of cortical hyperplasia formed an annular and fence-like structure. The results of immunohistochemistry showed the hyperplastic vessels and perivascular fibroblast like spindle cells diffuse vimentin-positive;the hyperplastic vascular endothelial cells CD99,CD34 were positive;and the residual glial cells in the lesions showed glial fibrillary acidic protein positive. Conclusion MA complicated with intracranial aneurysm is rare. The vascular condition is poor. The shape of aneurysm is irregular,and the risk of bleeding is high. Excise the involved meningeal tissue and clip the aneurysm with microsurgical operation is the resonable treatment.
