RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of microscopic decompression in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) under single percutaneous tubular retractor system.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 117 DLSS patients with imaging manifestations as non-segmental lumbar instability, admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, 900 th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Team from October 2018 to April 2023 were enrolled consecutively. These patients failed in strict conservative treatment and then changed to posterior lumbar spinal canal and nerve root decompression by microscopy and percutaneous tubular retractor system. These patients were followed up for 6-50 months. Pain visual analogue score (VAS) and lumbar Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) were recorded and results of X-rays, CT and MRI of lumbar spines were analyzed 1 d before and 1 week after decompression and at the last follow-up. Modified MacNab criteria were used to evaluate the efficacy at the last follow-up. Results:Among the 117 patients, unilateral laminectomy for unilateral decompression was performed in 56 patients (47.9%) and unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression in 61 (52.1%). Single segment decompression was performed in 109 patients (93.2%) and double segment decompression in 8 (6.8%). Dural sac rupture occurred in 4 patients (3.5%), and immediate occlusion was given; no cerebrospinal fluid leakage was noted after decompression. All patients did not experience obvious nerve damage during decompression or intervertebral infection/lumbar instability after decompression. After 18 (13, 24) months of follow-up, VAS scores of the patients at the last follow-up decreased from (5.96±0.85) 1 d before decompression and (1.75±0.61) 1 week after decompression to (1.01±0.59), and lumbar ODI decreased from (63.22±8.33)% 1 d before decompression and (17.66±5.20)% 1 week after decompression to (10.64±3.44)%, with significant differences ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, modified MacNab criteria indicated 46 patients (39.3%) as excellent, 66 (56.4%) as good, 3 (2.6%) as fair, and 2 (1.7%) as poor, with an excellent/good therapeutic rate of 95.7%. Conclusion:For surgical treatment of DLSS patients without evidenced preoperative spinal instability, personalized unilateral or bilateral spinal canal decompression under microscope by combiningsingle percutaneous tubular retractor system can effectively reduce surgical trauma and achieve satisfactory surgical results.

RESUMEN

Objective:To compare the morphological differences of psoas major muscles between patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) of lower limb pain and lumbocrural pain based on CT imaging data.Methods:Sixty patients with LDH admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, 900 th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Team from January 2012 to February 2023 were included. According to clinical symptoms, they were divided into lower limb pain group and lumbocrural pain group ( n=30). 3D CT images of the psoas major muscles in the 2 groups were reconstructed; the longest transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the psoas major muscle was chosen as the cross-sectional area, and the maximum psoas major muscle cross-sectional area was calculated; maximum psoas major muscle cross-sectional area index (PI max) was defined as ratio of maximum psoas major muscle cross-sectional area and L 5 vertebral cross-sectional area. PI max difference between lower limb pain group and lumbocrural pain group was compared; PI max difference among patients with different pain degrees (visual analog scale [VAS] scores) or pain courses was further compared in both lower limb pain group and lumbocrural pain group. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlations of PI max with pain degree and pain course in the 2 groups. Results:PI max in lower limb pain group was significantly larger than that in lumbocrural pain group (0.62±0.05 vs. 0.54±0.04, t=7.320, P<0.001). PI max in patients with severe pain from both lower limb pain group and lumbocrural pain group was significantly smaller than that in patients with moderate pain (0.61±0.05 vs. 0.65±0.04, t=2.422, P=0.022; 0.53±0.03 vs. 0.58±0.04, t=3.502, P=0.002). PI max in patients with short pain course from both lower limb pain group and lumbocrural pain group was significantly larger than that in patients with long pain course (0.64±0.05 vs. 0.59±0.04, t=2.570, P=0.016; 0.57±0.04 vs. 0.53±0.03, t=2.941, P=0.007). Pearson correlation showed that PI max was negatively correlated with pain degree and pain course in LDH patients from both groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Atrophy of psoas major muscles in LDH patients is aggravated with increased pain degree and pain course.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of posterior cervical spinal nerve root decompression under microscope and percutaneous tubular retractor system in cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR).Methods:A total of 38 patients with CSR, admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, 900 th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistics Team from September 2019 to October 2022 were enrolled consecutively. These patients failed in strict conservative treatment and then changed to posterior cervical spinal nerve root decompression under microscope and percutaneous tubular retractor system. The patients were followed up for (15.71±7.50) months, ranging from 3 to 36 months. The pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores were recorded and the results of X-ray, CT and MRI of cervical spines were analyzed 1 d before decompression, before discharge and at the last follow-up. C 2-7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was measured and compared on CT reconstruction images before decompression and at the last follow-up. The clinical efficacy of these patients was determined according to the formula of improvement rate=([JOA at the last follow-up-preoperative JOA]/[17-preoperative JOA])×100%: 100% improvement rate was defined as cure, improvement rate>60% as significant effect, 25%<improvement rate≤60% as valid treatment, and improvement rate≤25% was defined as invalid treatment. Results:The VAS and JOA scores were 5.91±0.90 and 11.37±1.50 before decompression, and 0.37±0.31 and 15.76±1.44 at the last follow-up, respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Among 38 patients, 12 patients (31.6%) were cured, 18 (47.4%) were significantly effective, 7 (18.4%) were valid, and 1 (2.6%) was invalid, enjoying a total effective rate of 97.4%. Neither dural sac tear or obvious nerve injury during decompression nor infection after decompression were noted. The C 2-7 SVA at the last follow-up ([15.82±0.95] mm) was significantly lower than preoperative C 2-7 SVA ([17.07±1.07] mm, P<0.05). Conclusion:Posterior cervical nerve root decompression can obtain satisfactory results in single segment CSR; combined application of microscope and percutaneous tubular retractor system can effectively ensure the cervical spine stability and retain the corresponding motion segments.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the role of NG2 cells in generating and maintaining neuropathic pain in rats after spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:According to random number table method, 100 healthy adult male SD rats were divided into control group ( n=20, without any intervention), sham-operated group ( n=40, exposed T 10 segment without spinal cord impact) and SCI group ( n=40, exposed T 10 segment and constructed SCI model by improved Allen's method). One d before, and 14, 21 and 28 d after surgery, Von Frey fiber probe was used to detect the rat hindlimb mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT); immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the proportion of NG2-positive cells in spinal dorsal horn cells; Western blotting was used to detect chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) expression in spinal dorsal horn of rats. Results:Fourteen, 21 and 28 d after surgery, SCI group had significantly lower hindlimb MWT, and significantly higher proportion of NG2-positive cells in spinal dorsal horn cells and CSPG expression in spinal dorsal horn than control group and sham-operated group ( P<0.05). One d before, and 14, 21 and 28 d after surgery, in SCI group, hindlimb MWT decreased firstly and increased secondly, proportion of NG2-positive cells in spinal dorsal horn cells increased firstly and decreased secondly, and CSPG expression in spinal dorsal horn increased firstly and decreased secondly. Except for those 21 and 28 d after surgery, hindlimb MWT, proportion of NG2-positive cells in spinal dorsal horn cells, and CSPG expression in spinal dorsal horn showed significant differences between each two time points ( P<0.05). In SCI group, hindlimb MWT was negatively correlated with proportion of NG2-positive cells in spinal dorsal horn cells ( r=-0.876, P<0.001), and CSPG expression was positively correlated with proportion of NG2-positive cells in spinal dorsal horn cells ( r=0.927, P<0.001). Conclusion:NG2 cell proliferation and increased CSPG expression secreted by NG2 cells in spinal cord tissues after SCI generate and maintain neuropathic pain.

RESUMEN

Objective:To analyze the clinical outcome of nasal symptoms in patients with pituitary lesions after transsphenoidal surgery by microscope.Methods:A perspective study was performed; 53 patients with pituitary lesions treated by transsphenoidal microsurgery in our hospital from March 2012 to January 2013 were enrolled. Sinonasal outcome test (SNOT)-22 was used to evaluate the nasal symptoms in these patients before surgery, and 1 week, 1 month and 4 months after surgery; Toyota and Takagi (T&T) olfactometer was used to evaluate the olfaction before surgery, and 1 week and 4 months after surgery.Results:Among the 53 patients, 47 were with pituitary adenoma and 6 were with Rathke cysts. The common postoperative nasal symptoms included olfactory disorder, nasal obstruction, runny nose, pain in the nasal cavity and dizziness. The total scores and 5-items scores of SNOT-22 in patients 1 week and 1 month after surgery were significantly higher as compared with those before surgery ( P<0.05); there were no significant differences in these scores between before surgery and 4 months after surgery ( P>0.05). The incidence of olfactory disorder in patients 1 week and 4 months after surgery was significantly higher than that before surgery ( P<0.05); the incidence of olfactory disorder in patients 4 months after surgery was decreased as compared with that 1 week after surgery, without significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Olfactory disorder can occur to some extent after transsphenoidal approach with slow recovery, which deserves the attentions.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the surgical treatment efficacy and experience of invasive thalamus cavernous malformations (CMs).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed. The clinical and follow-up data of 8 patients with invasive thalamus CMs, admitted to our hospital from July 2007 to June 2020, were chosen. These patients accepted minimally invasive resection via sylvian fissure-insular approach after the second rapture hemorrhage; follow up was performed for 8 months-10 years. Results:The lesions of these 8 patients were near the lateral thalamus, and the lesions were completely removed during the surgery. Within 24 h of surgery, the lower limb muscle strength of one patient was improved to grading 2, and that of 2 patients was improved to grading 1. Follow up results 6 months after treatment showed that the modified Rankin scale scores were 1-3 in 5 patients and 4 in 3 patients; and there were no recurrence during the follow-up of (49.7±37.8) months.Conclusion:The resection via sylvian fissure-insular approach is safe and effective for patients with invasive thalamus CMs after the second rapture hemorrhage.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in upper extremity motor function recovery after surgery in patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI).Methods:Twenty-three patients with acute CSCI who received postoperative systemic rehabilitation therapy in Department of Neurosurgery, 900 th Hospital of Joint Logistics Team of People's Liberation Army from May 2019 to July 2021 were selected as an experimental group, and 22 healthy subjects (healthy control group) matched with age and gender were selected from Physical Examination Center of the same hospital at the same period. Routine MRI sequence and DTI scan of the cervical spinal cord, scale of American Association for Spinal Cord Injury (ASIA) and modified Barthe index (mBI) were performed in patients of the experimental group 1 d and 3 months after surgery. Routine MRI sequence and DTI scan of the cervical spinal cord were performed in healthy subjects after enrollment. The DTI parameters in different regions between the two groups were compared, and the differences in DTI parameters, ASIA scores and mBI in patients of the experimental group before and after surgery were compared. Correlations of preoperative DTI parameters with preoperative upper extremity motor ASIA scores and upper extremity motor recovery rate 3 months after surgery were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of preoperative fractional anisotropy (FA) in upper extremity motor function recovery in CSCI patients 3 months after surgery. Results:As compared with the healthy control group, the experimental group had significantly lower preoperative FA in the injury area and distal injury area, and statistically higher preoperative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC, P<0.05). In patients of the experimental group, preoperative FA in the injury area was significantly lower and ADC in the injury area was significantly higher as compared with those in the distal injury area ( P<0.05); patients of the experimental group had significantly higher FA in these two regions, upper extremity motor ASIA scores and mBI, and significantly lower ADC 3 months after surgery as compared with those 1 d before surgery ( P<0.05). The preoperative FA in the injury area and distal injury area in CSCI patients were positively correlated with preoperative upper extremity motor ASIA scores and upper extremity motor recovery rate 3 months after surgery ( P<0.05). ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of preoperative FA in injury area in predicting upper extremity motor function recovery 3 months after surgery was 0.912 ( 95%CI: 0.783-1.000, P<0.001); that of preoperative FA in the distal injury area was 0.842 ( 95%CI: 0.682-1.000, P<0.001). Conclusion:DTI parameters FA and ADC are sensitive indicators for detecting CSCI; preoperative FA in the injury area and distal injury area can be used to predict the upper extremity motor function recovery, but the efficacy of the former is superior to that of the later.

RESUMEN

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring (V-ICPM) in gradient decompression for patients with traumatic cerebral hernia.Methods:The clinical data of 103 patients with traumatic cerebral hernia admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into observation group ( n=49) and control group ( n=54) according to whether V-ICPM was applied. Patients in the observation group accepted V-ICPM before gradient decompression, and patients in the control group accepted gradient decompression directly. Incidence of malignant encephalocele, clinical short-term and long-term efficacies, and complications were compared between the two groups. According to intracranial pressure (ICP), the patients were divided into normal or slightly increased ICP (≤22 mmHg), moderate increased ICP (23-40 mmHg) and severe increased ICP (>40 mmHg); the relationship between ICP and prognoses was analyzed in the observation group. Results:(1) The incidences of intraoperative malignant encephalocele in the observation group (16.33%) were slightly lower than that in the control group (29.63%), without significant difference ( P>0.05). Twenty four h after gradient decompression, pupils recovered in 35 patients (71.43%) from the observation group and 28 patients (51.85%) from the control group, significant difference in the pupils recovery rate was noted between the two groups ( χ2=4.145, P=0.042); the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores between the observation group (8.43±2.56) and control group (7.39±2.47) showed statistical differences ( t=-2.095, P=0.039). Three months after gradient decompression, there were 7 patients with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores of 5, 18 patients with scores of 4, 10 patients with scores of 3, 8 patients with scores of 2, and 6 patients with score of 1 in the observation group; there were 12 patients with GOS scores of 5, 17 patients with scores of 4, 12 patients with scores of 3, 7 patients with scores of 2, and 6 patients with score of 1 in the control group; the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=-0.681, P=0.496). (2) The higher the ICP in the observation group (initially and when the dura mater is cut), the worse the prognosis. Conclusion:The application of V-ICPM before gradient decompression cannot further improve the long-term prognosis of the patients, but it can provide intraoperative reference and prognosis prediction for the operators.

RESUMEN

Objective:To study the changes and imaging features of arachnoid granulation (AG) in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 35 patients with idiopathic CVST confirmed by MR imaging combined with CE-MRV or DSA in our hospital from January 2013 to December 2018, and 35 healthy controls collected at the physical examination center at the same time period were detected. The sizes and numbers of AG were compared between the two groups, and the MR imaging features of CVST and AG in patients with CVST at different courses were compared.Results:(1) In 35 patients with CVST, AG was found in 14 patients, and the average diameter was (5.19±2.40) mm, ranged from 1.83-11.77 mm; in the control group, AG was found in 23 patients, and the average diameter was (4.45±2.03) mm, ranged from 1.45-9.87 mm; no statistical difference was noted in diameter between the two groups ( t=2.121, P=0.221), and the number of AG showed statistical difference between the two groups (χ 2=4.644, P=0.031). (2) In 8 patients with CVST at acute phase, CVST showed hypointense on T2WI and FLAIR; in 20 patients with CVST at subacute phase, CVST showed hyperintense on T2WI and FLAIR; in 7 patients with CVST at chronic phase, CVST showed hyperintense on T2WI and FLAIR. At any stage of venous sinus thrombosis, AG showed high signal on T2WI and low signal on FLAIR. Conclusion:AG detection rate in CVST patients is lower than that in normal controls; MR imaging T2WI and FLAIR sequences could effectively distinguish CVST with AG.

RESUMEN

Objective:To explore the diagnostic values of MRI T2WI and 3D contrast enhanced magnetic resonance venography (3D CE-MRV) in transverse sinus arachnoid granulations (AGs).Methods:Clinical data were obtained from 811 patients who were subjected to non-contrast MR imaging and 3D CE-MRV between January 2016 and April 2019 in our hospital. And the number of patients whose transverse sinus AGs could be shown by T2WI and MRV, the number, size, and shape of AGs, and the number of AGs-related veins were recorded.Results:MRI T2WI showed 242 AGs in 184 patients (22.7%), and 3D CE-MRV showed 138 AGs in 119 patients (14.7%); MRI T2WI had a significantly higher percentage in showing AGs patients as compared with 3D CE-MRV ( P<0.05). Two hundred and forty-two AGs showed by MRI T2WI were divided into 3D CE-MRV observation group ( n=138) and 3D CE-MRV non-observation group ( n=104); the diameter of AGs in the 3D CE-MRV non-observation group ([5.30±2.10] mm) was significantly smaller than that in the 3D CE-MRV observation group ([6.14±2.03] mm, P<0.05). MR T2WI showed that 231 AGs were like circles or ellipses and 11 AGs were like fractal; while 3D CE-MRV showed that 138 AGs were like circles or ellipses and 0 AG were like fractal. MRI T2WI showed that 289 veins were closely related to AGs, and 3D CE-MRV showed that 97 veins were closely related to AGs. MRI T2WI could demonstrate significantly higher proportion of non-labbe veins which were closely related to AGs than 3D CE-MRV ( P<0.05). Conclusion:As compared with 3D CE-MRV, T2WI can find larger number of AGs in the transverse sinus, and better display the shape of AGs and the vein adjacent to them.

RESUMEN

Objective:To explore the curative efficacy of nerve root sheath plasty under microscope in treatment of patients with Tarlov cysts.Methods:A total of 41 patients with symptomatic Tarlov cysts, admitted to our hospital from March 2016 to December 2019, were collected; these patients received surgical treatment by nerve root sheath plasty under microscope and neuroelectrophysiological monitoring. The microsurgical efficacy was evaluated by changes of pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and lumbar Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) before and one week, 3 months, and 6 (or 12) months after surgery.Results:The VAS scores and lumbar ODI of 41 patients one week, 3 months, and 6 (or 12) months after surgery were significantly reduced as compared with those before surgery, and presented a gradually decreased trend, with statistically significant differences between each time point ( P<0.05). The median of improvement rate of lumbar ODI was 72.7% (58.9%, 79.7%): curative effect was excellent in 19 patients (improvement rate of lumbar ODI>75%), good in 14 patients (51%≤improvement rate of lumbar ODI≤75%), passable in 3 patients (26%≤improvement rate of lumbar ODI≤50%), and poor in 5 patients (improvement rate of lumbar ODI≤25%), enjoying rate of excellent and good curative effect as 80.5% (33/41). Postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in two patients without infection. Cyst recurrence occurred in one patient on the 3 rd d of surgery due to loosening of the suture of the access hole, and no recurrence occurred after the second surgery. Conclusion:The compression of Tarlov cysts on nerve root can be safely and effectively relieved by nerve root sheath plasty under microscope and neuroelectrophysiological monitoring; the symptom relief rate is high and it is not easy to recur.

RESUMEN

Objective:To observe the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on the pituitary function of patients with subacute traumatic brain injury.Methods:Sixty-six patients with subacute traumatic brain injury and hypopituitarism were randomly divided into a control group ( n=33) and an HBO group ( n=33). Patients in both groups were given conventional treatment including dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure, anti-infection medication, epilepsy and bed sores prevention measures, neurotrophic treatment, fluid replacement and rehabilitation. The HBO group was additionally given HBO at 0.2MPa (2.0ATA), once a day, 6 times a week for a total of 20 administrations. Before and after the treatment, serum adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), growth hormone (GH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), prolactin (PRL), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), cortisol, insulin-like growth factor 1, free tetraiodothyronine, testosterone, and estradiol levels were detected using chemical immunoluminescence. The ACTH, GH, TSH, PRL, LH and FSH values were used to calculate general pituitary hormone scores. Results:After the treatment, the average PRL, LH and testosterone levels and the general pituitary hormone score in the HBO group were significantly higher than among the controls.Conclusions:HBO treatment can increase the levels of various hormones in patients with subacute traumatic brain injury and promote the recovery of pituitary function.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the risk factors,mechanism and treatment strategies of expanding regional brain injury (traumatic intracerebral contusion or hematoma) in patients with acute traumatic epidural hematoma (ATEDH) after surgical evacuation.Methods Fifty-nine patients with ATEDH,admired to and accepted surgical evacuation in our hospital from February 2013 to September 2018,were chosen in this study;their clinical data and CT imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.The volume ofintracranial hematoma was measured by 3D Slicer software.According to the progress of local brain injury revealed by first CT examination after surgical evacuation,patients with ATEDH were divided into progressive group and non-progressive group.Risk factors of patients with expanding regional brain injury after surgery were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses.Results After surgery,22 showed expanding regional brain injury,accounting for 37.29%:9 occurred expanding intracerebral hematoma,and 2 of them died after conservative treatment;two had both expanding intracerebral contusion and hematoma;11 expanding intracerebral contusion patients developed into hematoma,and three of them occurred delayed intracerebral hematoma adjacent to the area of ATEDH,and two underwent secondary craniotomy with good recovery.As compared with patients from the non-progressive group,progressive group had significantly higher percentages of patients with preoperative hyperglycemia (>9.1 mmol/L),patients with preoperative abnormal coagulation and patients accepted decompressive craniectomy (P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative abnormal coagulation was an independent risk factor for expanding intracerebral contusion or hematoma after surgery (OR=6.498,95%CI:1.076-39.253,P=0.041).Conclusion Expanding regional brain injury has high morbidity in patients with ATEDH after surgery evacuation;preoperative abnormal coagulation is an independent risk factor for its occurrence.

RESUMEN

Objective To explore the efficacy and experience of surgical approaches of puncture drainage and urokinase thrombolysis for spontaneous hypertensive pontine hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with spontaneous pontine hemorrhage, admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to December 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. Craniotomy evacuation of hematoma was performed in 18 patients (control group), and puncture drainage and urokinase thrombolysis assisted by neuronavigation was performed in 24 patients (observation group). The clinical efficacies of the two groups were observed and analyzed.Results There were 24 patients having hematoma clearance rate≥50%, including 7 from control group and 17 from observation group. The hematoma clearance rate≥50% in the observation group (70.83%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (38.89%,P<0.05). Postoperative Glasgow-Pittsburgh scale scores of the observation group (24.21±4.85) were slightly higher than those of the control group (23.61±5.45), and the mortality of the observation group (66.67%) was lower than that of the control group (72.22%) without statistical significance (P> 0.05).Conclusion The surgical approach of puncture drainage and urokinase thrombolysis can effectively improve hematoma clearance rate for spontaneous hypertensive pontine hemorrhage, but clinical prognoses are not improved due to influence of multiple factors.

RESUMEN

Objective To explore the risk factors,mechanism and treatment strategies of secondary brain injury (cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction/encephaledema) adjacent to acute epidural hematoma after surgical evacuation.Methods Forty-four patients with acute epidural hematoma underwent craniotomy in our hospital from March 2013 to December 2018 were chosen in this study.According to postoperative CT or MR imaging examination results,patients were divided into group of secondary brain injury (n=11) and group of non-secondary brain injury (n=33).The clinical data of the two groups were compared,and the significance of epidural hematoma thickness in assessing secondary brain injury was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting secondary brain injury.Results After surgery,11 showed secondary brain injury:3 occurred cerebral hemorrhage,one of whom was diagnosed as having cerebral venous hemorrhage in the cortical vein drainage area caused by traumatic cerebral venous circulation disorder;6 had cerebral infarction/encephaledema,and 2 occurred hemorrhagic cerebral infarction/encephaledema;two underwent secondary craniotomy and both achieved satisfactory effect.As compared with patients from the non-secondary brain injury group,patients fromsecondary brain injury group had significantly higher percentage of patients with epidural hematoma thickness ≥ 33.5 mm (P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the thickness of epidural hematoma had predictive value in secondary brain injury after surgery (P<0.05),and area under the curve was 0.722 and diagnostic threshold was 33.5 mm.Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that epidural hematoma thickness ≥33.5 mm was an independent risk factor for secondary brain injury adjacent to epidural hematoma after surgery (odds ratio=7.367,P=0.024,95%CI=1.298-41.797).Conclusions Acuteepidural hematoma thickness ≥33.5 mm is a high-risk factor associated with secondary brain injury adjacent to epidural hematoma after surgery.Intracranial venous circulatory disorders have non-negligible effect on occurrence of secondary brain injury.

RESUMEN

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy of giant nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (GNPAs) of different imaging types,and to explore the surgical treatment strategies of GNPAs.Methods The pre-and post-operative images,clinical data and follow-up results of 69 patients with GNPAs,admitted to our hospital from July 2011 to October 2016,were analyzed retrospectively.According to the morphology and growth patterns of tumors on MR imaging,they were divided into GNPAs of vertical type,cystic type,deviation Ⅰ/Ⅱ type,lateral extension type,sinus type,laryngeal type,isolated type,and mixed type.The tumor resection results of GNPAs of different types were compared by different surgical treatment strategies.Results Fifty-one patients,with total resection rate of 31.37%,were treated by transsphenoidal approach,and 18 patients,total resection rate of 44.44%,were treated by craniotomy.The overall total resection rate of GNPAs was 36.23% (n=25).Total resection rate and subtotal resection rate was 71.01% (n=49).The surgery resection rates of GNPAs of different types were different,and the GNPAs of mixed type enjoyed the worst efficacy.Fifty-three patients were followed-up for one-66 months with an average of 17 months;in patients with total resection,18 (72%) were without recurrence,one (4%) was with recurrence;X knife treatment was performed in 14 patients.Postoperative residual reduction,control,and increase were noted in 4,26 and 4 patients.Two patients died after surgery.Conclusions The total reduction rate of GNPAs is low and the operation is difficult;however,favorable prognosis can be achieved.Transsphenoidal surgery is the first choice for elimination of occupying effect.According to different types,appropriate procedures can be used to reduce the tumor residue and improve the total resection or subtotal rates.

RESUMEN

Objective To investigate the related influence factors of the main extended direction of the pituitary macroadenoma in the vertical direction.Methods Clinical data of 184 pituitary macroadenoma patients were collected and analyzed retrospectively.The main extended direction in the vertical direction of the tumor was taken as the dependent variables.Patients were divided into two groups according to the suprasellar extension value of each tumor,(ie:suprasellar extension value>0 and suprasellar extension value≤0).10 selected indicators (age,sex,tumor type,diameter of diaphragmatic opening,sphenoid sinus type,sella type morphology,main sphenoid sinus septum bias,maximum width of sphenoid sinus septum,tumor cyst,number of longitudinal sphenoid sinus septum) were taken as independent variables and the factors which may influence the main extended direction were analyzed and selected by logistic regression method.Results Among the 184 patients,there were 121 cases extending mainly to the suprasellar direction,while the left cases extending mainly to the opposite direction.Statistical analysis showed the tumor type (P=0.026),sphenoid sinus type (P=0.003),sella type morphology (P=0.046),diameter of diaphragmatic opening (P=0.003) and maximum width of the sphenoid sinus septum (P=0.009) were the independent predictors influencing the main expansion direction of pituitary macroadenomas in the vertical direction.Conclusions The pituitary macroadenoma is more likely to expand infrasellar in patients with sellar or sellaoccipital sphenoid sinus,sac sella turcica morphology,GH adenoma,smaller diaphragmatic opening diameter and narrower width of sphenoid sinus septum.The pituitary macroadenoma is more likely to expand suprasellar in patients with presellar sphenoid sinus,wok and cylinder sella turcica morphology,nonGH adenoma,larger diaphragmatic opening diameter and wider width of sphenoid sinus septum.

RESUMEN

Objective To explore the correlation between cervical diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and median nerve short latency somatosensory evoked potential (MN-SLSEP) parameters in patients with cervical intraspinal tumors.Methods Twenty-two patients suffering from cervical intraspinal tumors treated with surgical resection were enrolled into study group from February 2015 to May 2016;meanwhile,22 age-matched volunteers were selected as control group.Cervical DTI and MN-SLSEP detection were performed 3 d before operation and one month after operation,respectively.The whole cervical spinal cord was divided into 3 areas,the tumor head area,the tumor area,and the tumor tail area;and the fractional anisotropy (FA) values of the 3 areas were calculated.The white matter fiber bundle was reconstructed by diffusion tensor tracking (DTT) to observe its integrity.Study group was further divided into delayed latency group (lat+ group) and normal latency group (lat group)according to the delayed latency of N9-N20 interpeak levels,and the FA values of the 3 groups at different areas were compared.Results Total removal of the tumors was achieved in 19 patients (86.4%) and subtotal in 3 patients (13.6%,two with nerve fibrolipomas and one with intramedullary neurilemmomas) of the study group.One month after the operation,the spinal function was improved in 17 patients (77.3%),and not improved in 5 patients (22.7%).The preoperative N9-N20 interpeak latency in the study group was significantly longer than that in the control group (P<0.05).In term of preoperative fiber tract morphology of study group,the proportion of delayed N9-N20 interpeak latency in patients with interrupt type (75%) was significantly longer than that in the patients with intact type (21.4 %,P<0.05).FA values oflat+ and lat group in the tumor head area,tumor area,and tumor tail area were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05);and FA values of lat+ group in these three regions were significantly lower than lat group (P<0.05).Conclusions DTI metrics correlate with MN-SLSEP measures.Through variations of quantitative parameter values and fiber tract morphology,cervical DTI can sensitively and intuitively reflect the electrophysiological changes,which could be served as a important diagnostic tool for cervical intraspinal tumors.

RESUMEN

Objective To analyze the correlative factors of hypopituitarism in patients with intracranial non-sellar tumors.Methods Eighty-three patients with intracranial non-sellar tumors,admitted to our hospital from May 2014 to April 2015,were included in our study;their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The status of pituitary function was assessed according to the level of preoperative serum hormone.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were employed to analyze the correlations of preoperative hypopituitarism with age,gender,hypertension,epilepsy history,course of disease,mass effect of tumor,tumor location,intracranial pressure (ICP),and composition of cerebrospinal fluid.Results Before surgery,30 showed hypopituitarism,accounting for 36.14%:23 had deficiency in one pituitary axe and 7 had multi-axial deficiency.Univariate analysis showed that high ICP (ICP>200 mmH2O),acute or sub-acute course (≤ 3 months) and presence of mass effect by non-sellar brain tumor were the risk factors of hypopituitarism (P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that intracranial mass effect in patients with non-sellar brain tumor was an independent risk factor (OR=3.197,95%CI=1.085-9.423,P=0.035).Conclusion Hypopituitarism has high morbidity in patients with non-sellar brain tumor;intracranial mass effect is an independent risk factor for hypopituitarism.
