ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the outcomes of seizure control by three different surgical approaches,hippocampal transection,anterior temporal lobectomy and selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy,for the treatment of intractable medial temporal epilepsy,and explore their influences in the impairments of cognitive and memorial functions.Methods Twenty-nine patients with intractable medial temporal epilepsy,admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to October 2015,were chosen in our study;8 patients accepted hippocampal transection,10 accepted anterior temporal lobectomy and 11 accepted selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy.Seizure controls after treatment with these 3 approaches were compared and results of neuropsychological examinations (verbal intelligence quotient [VIQ],performance intelligence quotient [PIQ],full intelligence quotient [FIQ] and memory quotient [MQ]) were compared before and after operation.Results The effective rates of seizure controls were all higher than 80％ and seizure free rate was about 60％ in the 3 groups;Engel grading showed no significant differences among the three groups (P＞0.05).Results of all the neuropsychological examinations in the hippocampal transection group before and after operation had no significant differences (P＞0.05);however,all results in the anterior temporal lobectomy group after operation were significantly declined as compared with those before operation (P＜0.05);and PIQ,FIQ and MQ scores in the selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy group after operation were significantly lower as compared with those before operation (P＜0.05).Conclusions Hippocampal transection will not cause significant damage in intelligence and memory functions.As compared with both anterior temporal lobectomy and selective amygdalo-hippocampectomy,hippocampal transection can have good seizure control and preserve memory function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To verify the effectiveness and safety of domestic neurosurgery medical robot Remebot for the biopsy of intracranial lesions.Methods Thirteen patients with intracranial lesions having comparatively difficulty in diagnosis in our hospital from January 2016 to May 2016 were randomly selected to robot operation group (n=6) and frame stereotactic group (n=7).In the robot operation group,four marks were pasted to the patient's head for the stereotaxy without frame,while in the frame stereotactic group,the frame should be fixed to the patient's head for the operation.The targets were set at the central of the lesions and the biopsies were performed through targets to the whole lesions.The specimens were sent for pathologic examinations with immunohistochemical staining.Results The confirmed diagnostic rate of robot operation group was 6/6:glioblastoma multiforme in 3,oligodendroglioma in one,non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in one and focal cortical dysplasia in one;the confirmed diagnostic rate of the frame stereotactic group was 6/7:glioblastoma multiforme in 2,grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ astrocytoma in 2,follicular thyroid carcinoma in one and cerebellum ganglion glioma in one,and the one without confirmed diagnosis was intracranial multiple cystic lesion.The positional accuracy in the robot operation group was 1.48±0.62 (accuracy error:0.66-2.47 mm) and that in the frame stereotactic group was 1.06±0.49 (accuracy error:0.50 mm-l.90 mm).Conclusions The domestic neurosuregery medical robot Remebot is characteristic by minimal invasive and high positional accuracy.It is quite suitable for frameless stereotactic intracranial lesion biopsy.The surgical planning could be made according to the shape of lesions and the positional accuracy is reached to the requirement of biopsy.Since the procedure of operation could be performed without fixing the frame on patients' head,the pain and fear of patients are reduced in a great deal and the operation is quite easy to be performed.Thus,it's more suitable for the biopsy ofintracranial lesions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the experience of medical treatment and rescue of the ‘SHENZHOU' astronauts in the landing place in the past 10 years,and to establish more effective mobile ICU in medical helicopters to ensure ‘SHENJIU' astronauts safety.Methods The data collected from foreign nations and our country was reviewed.Formerly experience in first-aid and rescue astronauts of our team was summerized.The important reasons of accidental injuries of astronaut during aerospace flight were listed.More effective and reasonable prophylactic measurements and clinical treatments of the accidental injuries of astronauts were brought forward.Results we established three effective mobile ICU that could ensure the safety of the astronauts.The carriers of the ICU were helicopters,and damage control surgery can be performed there.Fine armature made us more effective.Conclusions Reasonable and effective prophylactic measurements and clinical treatments were the important aspect of the successful manned aerospace flight.The first-aid system in helicopters could realize the destination of swift response and first-aid.
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the experience of medical care for the assurance of security of the'Shenzhou Ⅶ'astronauts at the landing venue in order to innovate a high efficient mobile ICU in medical helicopters.Method The data collected from over.as and domestics were reviewed and analyzed to find out the possible causes of accidental injuries to astronauts during acmspaec flight,and to pmpose a practicably and effectively prophylactic strategy and reasonable treatments for the astronauts with accidental injuries.Results Three,high efficient mobile ICU innovated could elqsure the safety ofthe astronauts.The ICUs with high efficiency were set up in the helicopters where the surgery Call he peormed for controlling the danlage.Fine armature made our work mole effective.Conclusions Practicably and effectively Plephylactic measurements and reasonable treatments are the essential aspect of the successfulness for the security of astronauts of manned aemspacecraft flights.The innovated medical care system in helicopters could realized the obligation of swift response and the duty offirst-md.
