Objective:To investigate the microsurgical efficacy of large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor and influencing factors for its prognoses.Methods:From January 2010 to December 2022, 47 patients with large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor admitted to and accepted microsurgery in Department of Neurosurgery, Wuhan Central Hospital and Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, were enrolled. The clinical data, microsurgical efficacy and follow-up results of these patients were retrospectively analyzed, and influencing factors for total resection and prognoses were determined.Results:Thirty-two patients had tumor within the supratentorial region and 15 in the mandibular region, including 24 with sinus involved tumor. According to 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System, 5 patients (10.6%) had grading 1, 32 (68.1%) grading 2, and 10 (21.3%) grading 3. Total resection was achieved in 31 patients (66.0%) and subtotal resection in 16 patients (34.0%). Postoperative complications, such as intraoperative hemorrhage, distant epidural hematoma and subcutaneous effusion, occurred in 7 patients (14.9%) and they were cured after secondary hematoma removal or conservative treatment; residual limb mobility disorder occurred in 3 patients, visual impairment in 3, and postoperative seizures in 2. Adjuvant radiotherapy was performed in 13 patients (27.7%). Follow-up was performed for (69.1±29.6) months and 29 patients (61.7%) had recurrent tumors (6 with intracranial and extracranial metastases and 4 deaths). Mean progression-free survival was (57.5±25.1) months; the 1-, 3-, and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 95.7%, 87.2%, and 59.6%, respectively. Sinus involvement was the independent influencing factor for total tumor resection; and total resection was an independent protective factor for progression-free survival for large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor ( HR=4.291, 95% CI: 1.555-11.838, P=0.005). Conclusion:Patients with large primary intracranial solitary fibrous tumor have a high recurrent risk after surgery; and gross-total resection should be strived to prevent tumor recurrence.

Objective:To explore the effect of tanshinone ⅡA on myocardial remodeling in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced heart failure of rodent model.Methods:① In vivo, 30 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, heart failure and tanshinone ⅡA treatment group, with 10 rats in each group. The I/R model was established by ligating the left coronary artery until ST segment elevation for 30 minutes, then the ligation was removed for 2 hours as reperfusion. In the sham operation group, the rat chest was opened without artery ligation. Three days after model establishment, tanshinone ⅡA (10 mg/kg) were given intraperitoneal injected in tanshinone ⅡA group for 9 weeks. In the other two groups, normal saline was administrated in the same way. The behavioral manifestations of the rats in each group were observed; hemodynamic indexes were evaluated; Masson staining was performed to observe the degree of myocardial fibrosis; enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the content of Galectin-3 in myocardial tissue; quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expressions of collagenⅢ, collagenⅠ, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1). ② In vitro, rats primary cardiac fibroblasts were extracted and isolated, and divided into blank control group, angiotensinⅡ group (7-10 mmol/L angiotensinⅡ) and angiotensinⅡ+ tanshinoneⅡA group (7-10 mmol/L angiotensinⅡ+ 5-10 mmol/L tanshinone ⅡA). At 24 hours and 48 hours of culture, the cell proliferation in each group was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT); the expressions of collagenⅢ, collagenⅠ, MMP-2 and TIMP-1 were detected by qRT-PCR; the content of Galectin-3 in cardiac fibroblasts was detected by ELSIA. Results:① In vivo, the rats' activity status, hair conformity and food intake were ranked from good to bad in order of sham operation group, tanshinone ⅡA group and heart failure model group. Compared with the sham-operated group, the heart rate (HR) of the rats in the heart failure model group was significantly decreased and the heart function was significantly impaired. The mRNA and protein expression of collagenⅠ, collagenⅢ, TIMP-1 and Galectin-3 content were significantly increased, while the mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2 were significantly decreased. Compared with the heart failure model group, rats in the tanshinone ⅡA group showed significantly higher HR and improved cardiac function, significantly lower mRNA expression of collagenⅠ and collagenⅢ, significantly lower mRNA and protein expression of TIMP-1 and Galectin-3, and significantly higher mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2, and the most obvious changes were in the 9th weeks of modeling [collagenⅠ mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 4.70±1.19 vs. 10.21±1.62, collagenⅢ mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 3.03±0.46 vs. 13.84±1.93, TIMP-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 1.90±0.19 vs. 4.55±0.43, TIMP-1/GAPDH: 0.33±0.04 vs. 0.67±0.05, Galectin-3 (ng/L): 489.93±79.30 vs. 821.72±94.09, MMP-2 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 0.37±0.07 vs. 0.03±0.01, MMP-2/GAPDH: 0.69±0.09 vs. 0.21±0.04, all P < 0.05]. Masson staining showed that myocardial tissue fibrosis was obvious in the heart failure group, and the degree of fibrosis in the tanshinoneⅡA group was reduced. ② In vitro, compared with the blank control group, the proliferation rate, collagenⅠ, collagen Ⅲ and TIMP-1 expression and Galectin-3 content of myocardial fibroblasts were significantly increased, and MMP-2 expression was significantly decreased in the angiotensin group at 24 h and 48 h of culture. Compared with the angiotensin group, the proliferation rate of cardiac fibroblasts and the expression of collagenⅠ, collagen Ⅲ and TIMP-1 and the content of Galectin-3 were significantly decreased, and the expression of MMP-2 mRNA was significantly increased in the angiotensin + tanshinone ⅡA group, and the most significant changes were at 48 hours of culture [proliferation rate: (57.0±3.7)% vs. (67.0±2.4)%, collagenⅠmRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 551.43±67.10 vs. 871.48±12.25, collagenⅢ mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 233.76±18.73 vs. 385.51±31.35, TIMP-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 238.69±17.37 vs. 351.84±26.17, Galectin-3 (ng/L): 283.76±28.73 vs. 415.51±31.35, MMP-2 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 108.54±12.10 vs. 51.47±6.25, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Tanshinone ⅡA can improve cardiac function, inhibit myocardial fibrosis and improve myocardial remodeling in rats with I/R-induced heart failure.

Objective:To propose an automatic planning approach for Eclipse15.6 planning system based on Eclipse scripting application programming interface (ESAPI) and evaluate its clinical application.Methods:20 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and 20 cases of rectal cancer were selected in the clinical planning. The developed automatic planning script SmartPlan and RapidPlan were used for automatic planning and dosimetric parameters were compared with manual planning. The differences were compared between two groups by using Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results:The dosimetric results of automatic and manual plans could meet clinical requirements. There was no significant difference in target coverage in nasopharyngeal carcinoma planning between two groups ( P>0.05), and automatic plans were superior to manual plans in organs at risk sparing ( P<0.05). Except for the homogeneity index of PTV and the maximum dose of bowel in rectal cancer plans, the other dosimetric parameters of the automatic plans were better than those of the manual plans (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the manual plans, the automatic plans have the same or similar target coverage, similar or better protection of organs at risk, and more convenient implementation. The developed SmartPlan based on ESAPI has clinical feasibility and effectiveness.
