ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the system of specialized training by exploring the role of multimodal navigation in the teaching of neurosurgery.Methods The questionnaire was conducted by the experts to obtain the detailed information of 20 residents.They were randomly divided into two groups:the traditional teaching group (n=10) and the multimodal navigation group (n=10).The details were evaluated from the reaction layer,the learning layer,the behavior layer and the result layer by the Kirkpatriek's model.The data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0.The quantitative data were described by mean ± standard deviation and the qualitative data was described by rate or percentage.Two independent-samples t test was used to compare the results of two groups.Results The results of the reaction layer showed that the scores of the multimodal navigation group were significantly higher than those of the traditional teaching group,which were statistically significant (P＜0.05) in the training content,training methods,training facilities and experience after training.The learning results showed that the multimodal navigation group had higher scores in the theoretical examinations,surgical skills and overall scores (P＜0.05).The behavioral results showed that the clinical ability of the multimodal navigation group was more prominent (P＜0.05).The result layer showed that under the guidance of professors,the percentage of residents who can complete the whole surgical operation is higher in multimodal navigation group (50％ vs.20％).Conclusion The application of multimodal navigation technology has a positive effect on the teaching of neurosurgery and specialized training of residents.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the operative results of removing large olfactory groove meningiomas(diameter≥3 cm)using either a unilat?eral or bilateral subfrontal approach ,and to determine whether there is an advantage in the unilateral approach. Methods Sixty?nine cases of large olfactory groove meningioma,treated in our department,by either a unilateral or bilateral subfrontal approach microsurgery were retrospec?tively reviewed. Removal grading,post?operative complications,and other clinical indices were evaluated. Results Total resection(Simpson Ⅰ or Ⅱ)was achieved in all the cases. There were lesser complications with use of the unilateral subfrontal approach. Conclusion Patients with ol?factory groove meningioma have a good prognosis when a unilateral subfrontal approach is used for surgery.
ABSTRACT
Intravascular stent as a foreign body exhibits obvious reaction following implantation,such as activation of coagulation system and elevation of serum C-reactive protein,inflammatory marker.After platelet is activated,P-selectin binds to the glycoprotein ligand 1 expressed on leukocyte,and forms congeries on the leukocyte.In addition,interleukin-1?,interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-? are greatly secreted.The two factors are main reasons for restenosis following stent implantation.Studies on spiral CT angiography and transcranial Doppler sonography are important.
