Clinical treatment strategy of large and giant pituitary adenomas invading cavernous sinus : an analysis of 109 cases / 中华神经医学杂志

Objective To investigate the clinical treatment strategy of large and giant pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus.Methods One hundred and nine patients with large and giant pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus,admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to December 2018,were chosen in our study.Four patients with prolactin-type pituitary adenomas received oral treatment with bromocriptine;the remaining 105 patients received surgical treatment,and choices of surgical approach were based on classification of pituitary adenomas.The clinical data and efficacies of these patients accepted different treatment approach were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 105 patients with pituitary adenomas,63 (60％) were of type Ⅰ,15 (14.3％) were of type Ⅱ,18 (17.1％)were of type Ⅲ,and 9 (8.6％) were of type Ⅳ.Single extended transsphenoidal approach was used in 75 patients,transcranial approach was used in 26 patients,and combined extended transsphenoidal and transcranial approach was used in 4 patients.Gross total tumor resection was achieved in 86 patients,subtotal resection in 17 patients,and partial resection in two patients.Ten patients had new cranial nerve palsy after surgery,including 7 with oculomotor nerve palsy and three with abductor nerve palsy;two patients with preoperative neurological paralysis were aggravated,and both of them were oculomotor nerves;transient insipidus was noted in 19 patients and electrolyte disorder was noted in 23 patients;no permanent insipidus,cerebrospinal fluid leakage or intracranial infection,and no new or aggravated visual field vision disorder were noted.Conclusion Reasonable clinical treatment strategies and appropriate microsurgical approaches can achieve good therapeutic effect in patients with large and giant pituitary adenomas invading the cavernous sinus.

Association study between -765G > C and -1195G > A functional polymorphisms in the cyclooxygenase 2 gene and risk of preeclampsia / 中华医学遗传学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between two polymorphisms immediately upstream of the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) gene and preeclampsia in a South West Han Chinese population.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Blood samples from 205 patients with preeclampsia and 276 normal pregnant women as controls from Han Chinese in Chengdu area were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>G and A allele frequencies for -1195G>A site were 48.54% and 51.46% in the patient group, respectively, and 40.40% and 59.60% in the control group, respectively. G and C allele frequencies for -765G>C site were 94.15% and 5.85% in the case group, respectively, and 94.38% and 5.62% in the control group, respectively. The AA genotype and variant A allelic frequencies of the -1195G>A SNP were significantly lower in patients with preeclampsia than in the control group (P<0.05), and the odds ratio for the risk of preeclampsia was 0.665 (95% CI: 0.444-0.982) in women homozygous for the variant COX2 A allele ( x²=4.233, P=0.047). The genotype and allele frequencies of the -765G>C polymorphism in patients with preeclampsia and controls showed no significant differences (P>0.05). Additional subgroup analyses (mild vs severe preeclampsia) of the two polymorphisms failed to reveal significant correlation for either genotypic or allelic frequencies. Furthermore, there was no significant association between the polymorphisms and blood pressure levels in the patient or control groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>COX2 -1195A homozygosity is associated with a decreased risk for preeclampsia in a South West Han Chinese population. On the other hand, the -765G>C polymorphism has no effect.</p>

CT and MRI findings of central nervous system complications of leukemia / 中华放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the CT and MRI findings and their diagnostic value of central nervous system complications of leukemia (CNSCL). Methods The CT and MRI findings of 18 adult patients with CNSCL proved by clinical features or pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Among 18 cases,7 were acute lymphocytic leukemia, 10 acute non-lymphocytic leukemia and 1 chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Eleven cases underwent plain CT scan with one of them also receiving contrast-enhanced CT scan enhancement, 16 cases underwent plain MR scan with 11 of them receiving contrast-enhanced MR scan.Results Intracranial lesions in 14 cases: (1)intracranial hemorrhage was found in 7 cases, including intracerebral hematoma in 4 cases, micro-haemorrhage in 2 cases, and intracerebral hematoma accompanying by multiple intracerebral micro-haemorrhage foci in 1 case. All cases with intracerebral hematoma showed multiple lesions, which demonstrated high-density on CT images, and low or mixed signal on T1 WI, high- or intermediate signal with low-signal rim on T2 WI and ring enhancement or no evident enhancement. Microhaemorrhage manifested as multiple mini-mottling and strip hypointense foci on susceptibility weighted imaging, on which the detection rate of micro-haemorrhage foci was much higher than that on CT and other sequences of MRI. Among the 7 cases, one also had cerebral infarction and one subarachnoid hemorrhage.(2) Intracranial mass was found in 5 cases, among which two appeared as masses under or bestride cranium in the left frontal region with hypointensity on T1 WI, mixed signal on T2WI, strong homogeneous enhancement and dural tail sign;one showed a mass in saddle area, with high density on CT, slightly low signal on T1WI, high signal on T2WI and heterogeneous enhancement; one case displayed a mass near lateral ventricle with iso-intensity on T1 WI and T2WI and strong homogeneous enhancement; and one case manifested as cystic mass in the left fronto-apical lobe, with thick wall and ring enhancement (3)Obstructive hydrocephalus was found in 1 case, manifesting dilation of ventricles above the aquaeductus mesencephali. (4) Meningopathy was found in 1 case, manifesting diffuse thickening of meninges with strong homogeneous enhancement on MRI. Pathological changes of spinal canal was found in 4 cases among which two showed para-spinal mass involving vertebral canal and causing bone destruction of adjacent ribs; one case showed fusiform mass posterior to vertebral canal with high and intermediate signal on T1 WI and low and iso-signal on T2WI without enhancement; one showed zonale leison in thoracic cord with high signal on T2WI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery. Conclusion The radiologic manifestations of adult CNSCL are various and the role of CT and MRI for the diagnosis of CNSCL may complement each other. SWI is suggested as routine examination for patients of leukemia, in whom intracerebral lesions were suspected in order to find micro-haemorrhage as early as possible and reduce the risk of intracerebral hematoma occurrence.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of percutaneous intratumor injection of gene-immunotherapy combined with capacitive radio-frequency hyperthermia treatment for advanced lung carcinoma under CT guided.Methods Thirty-one unresectable peripheric lung carcinomas(29 men and 2 women,10 squamous carcinomas,15 denocarcinoma and 6 alveolus carcinomas) in clinical Ⅲ~Ⅳ stage were undergone percutaneous intrastumor injection of H101 and ⅠL~Ⅱ under CT guided,and repeated at 8,29,35,57 and 64 d respectively as one course.During interventional therapy,radio-frequency hyperthermia carried out twice one week,totally 12 times per-patient.After one course 4 weeks later,the blood TSGF levels and CT changes of the tumors were observed.Results The short period effect included:CR in 0 case,PR in 22 cases,NC in 6 cases and PD in 3 cases,the total short-term efficacy rate was 71 percent(22/31).Significant statistical difference was found in the positive rate and quantitative level of the blood TSGF after on cycle(P

Evaluation of the Transcatheter Intra-arterial Hyperthermo-chemotherapy for Advanced Ovarian Cancer / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of transcatheter intra-arterial hyperthermo-chemotherapy for advanced ovarian carcinoma. Methods 36 patients with unresectable or recurred ovarian carcinoma were divided into two groups randomly: treatment group(n=20) and control group(n=16). Transcatheter intra-arterial infusion warmed to 62 degree chemo-agents via the ovarian tumor supplied artery was performed in the treatment group while routine intraarterial chemotherapy was done in the control group. The CA125 level dynamic change, short-term efficacy and side effect after the interventional procedure were compared between two groups.Results The CA125 level decreased significantly in the treatment group more than that in the control group(?
