Objective:To investigate the efficacy of microsurgical treatment in cavernous sinus tumors.Methods:The clinical data of 87 patients with cavernous sinus tumor treated by microsurgery from January, 2010 to August, 2019 were analysed retrospectively. The surgical approaches and microsurgical skills for common tumors in Cavernous Sinus region were discussed. The follow-up included outpatient and telephone follow-ups, and the follow-up results were evaluated by KPS score.Results:Among the 87 cases, 57 were totally resected (65.5%), 14 were subtotal resected (16.1%) and 16 were major resected (18.4%). Hospitalisation ranged from 14 to 98 days, with an average of 29 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 30 cases with cranial nerve injury, 2 brain stem injury, 4 postoperative bleeding, 5 cerebrospinal fluid leakage, 4 infection, 1 Pituitary damage and 1 death. Prognosis and follow-up analysis showed 68 cases with KPS>60 and 66 with KPS>80 at 1 month after surgery; 74 with KPS>70 and 72 with KPS>80 at 3 months after surgery; 78 with KPS>80 by 12 months after surgery. During the follow-up period of 6-120 months, 3 cases died. Recurrence: 6 of incomplete resection of meningioma, were in 1-6 years after the surgery, 4 of incomplete resection of schwannoma in 1-8 years, 2 of pituitary adenoma respectively in 13 and 16 months after the surgery. There was no recurrence after reoperation. Two cases of chondrosarcoma, 3 of chordoma and 3 of germinoma were treated with radiotherapy, and during the follow-up, there was no progress of the focus. No tumor progression or recurrence was found in other cases during follow-up.Conclusion:Surgery of cavernous sinus tumor is difficult due to frequent postoperative complications. Reasonable preoperative plan, surgical approach and precise microsurgical techniques are the keys in reduction of postoperative complications and in the improvement of prognosis.

Objective To explore the monitoring of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in a model of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension in Guangxi Bama-Mini pigs by phasecontrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (PC cine MRI).Methods Femoral artery blood were extracted from 10 pigs,and injected into the frontal and temporal parietal lobe to make a model of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension.The mean arterial blood pressure (MAP),intracranial pressure (ICP),and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) were monitored.Routine T1WI,T2WI,coronal,sagittal and cerebrospinal fluid flow sequence (fast PC cine slice) which positioned on the cervical 3 (C3) vertebral body as the center and perpendicular to the spinal scans were performed on all experimental animals before and after blood injection with 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging.The ICP,MAP,CPP,the absolute values of CSF peak flow velocity and the absolute value of carotid peak flow velocity before and after blood injection were compared.Results The ICP,MAP,CPP,and the absolute value of CSF peak flow velocity before injection of autologous arterial blood were statistically significant as compared with those after blood injection [(6.80±2.044) mmHg vs (52.20±1.619) mmHg,(76.80±7.068) mmHg vs (142.80±12.399) mmHg,(70.00±6.074) mmHg vs (90.50±12.250) mmHg,and the absolute value of CSF peak flow velocity was (243.20±77.671) mm/s vs (201.40±55.482) mm/s,respectively,P<0.01].The absolute value of the peak velocity of the carotid artery before blood injection was not statistically significant compared with that after blood injection [(876.80±239.908) mm/s vs (799.40±241.829) mm/s,P>0.05].Conclusion After the formation of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension,the CSF flow in the C3 level spinal canal showed a low dynamic change,and the CSF flow velocity waveform was disordered and malformed.The non-invasive measurement of CSF dynamics by PC cine MRI can provide an important basis for the change of CSF dynamics in the model of brain herniation induced by acute intracranial hypertension,and provide a theoretical basis for further research on damage control neurosurgery in the future.

Objective To investigate the relationship between inflammation and blood coagulation function in the patients with acute exacerbation of chronic cor pulmonale (AECCP) and discuss the potential mechanism and influence on the patients. Methods The present study was based on 30 healthy controls and 141 cases of AECCP in our hospital from January 2011 to June 2014.Levels of white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NEUT), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, Complement 3 (C3), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) and thrombin time (TT) in the patients were determined. Results Compared with the healthy controls, the patients had higher levels of WBC, NEUT, hs-CRP, PT, APTT, FIB, TT (all P < 0.001) and lower level of C3 (P < 0.001). Significant positive correlations were found between the levels of WBC, NEUT and FIB (r = 0.196 and r = 0.199, both P < 0.05); hs-CRP and APTT, FIB(r = 0.234, P < 0.01 and r = 0.466, P < 0.001); C3 and FIB(r = 0.466, P < 0.001), and significant negative correlations were observed between the levels of C3 and PT, APTT, TT (r=-0.258, P<0.01;r=-0.279, P < 0.01 and r = -0.168, P < 0.05, respectively). Compared with the survival patients, the cases of death had higher levels of WBC and NEUT (both P < 0.01). The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of WBC and NEUT, predicting the prognosis, was 0.666 (95% CI 0.552, 0.780; P < 0.01) and 0.695 (95% CI 0.558, 0.801; P = 0.001) respectively. Conclusions Inflammation and blood coagulation function disorder usually coexist in the patients with AECCP, and are closely associated with the severity. Levels of both WBC and NEUT can be used as prognosis predictors for the patients.
