ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of surgical excision combined with iodine-125 implants intmcavitary radiotherapy for neumglioma Method After excision,27 patients with nenroglioma were implanted with the iodine-125 into the tumor bed or the residual tumor tissues.Results Of all cases,there were no operative mortality and no serious complication.The survival time of 25 cases exceeded 6 months and 1 glioblastoma recurrence,22 cases exceeded 12 months,3 glioblastoma and 1 astrocytoma Ⅲgrade recurrence.There were 19 cases exceeding 24 months,15 cases no recurrence,3 cases died for cere bral hernia because of giving.up further tremment,1 case surviving.Conclusions Surgical excision Combined with iodine-125 implants intracavitary radiotherapy can improve partial control rate,prolonged the survival time of patients with neuroglioma,and complications is rare.It is an efficient therapy for neu roglioma
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the change of peripheral blood CD34+ cells and white blood cells(WBC)count in the patients with brain traumatic injury in convalescence stage during hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)treatment.Methods The peripheral blood CD34+ cells and WBC count were measured in 11 patients with brain traumatic injury in convalescence stage who accepted HBO treatment before and 1,2,3,4,and 5 weeks during the treatment.Other 11 persons were measured once as controls.Results Compared with the controls,the number of CD34+ cells showed normal in the 1st and the 3rd week,but increased in the 2nd and the 5th week in the HBO group(P<0.05).It was increased in the 5th week compared with that in the 1st and the 3rd week(P<0.05)in the treatment group.The number of WBC showed no significance and the patients' symptoms improved during the HBO treatment.Conclusion HBO can mobilize bone marrow derived stem cells marked by CD34,which may participate in the restoration of brain traumatic injury in convalescence stage.
