Objective To investigate whether the collaborative application of temozolomide (TMZ),all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and radiotherapy can induce the apoptosis of U251 glioma cells and the molecular mechanism.Methods We detected the cell apoptosis rate of control group (100 μl nutrient solution),radiotherapy group (radiation dosage of 8 Gy),medicine group (TMZ 200 μmol/L + ATRA 20 μmol/L) and combined group (radiation dosage of 8 Gy + TMZ 200 μmol/L + ATRA 20 μmol/L) by flow cytometry method.The protein expression of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) was detected by Western blotting.Results The apoptosis rate was (9.96 ± 3.78)%,(37.35 ±5.36)%,(59.89 ±7.15)% and (69.35 ±8.25)% in control group,radiotherapy group,medicine group and combined group respectively.The apoptosis rate in combined group was higher than that in other groupsThese differences were more obvious (x2=7 471.175,P=0.000;x2=2 057.235,P =0.000;x2 =195.717,P =0.000).Combined group can up-regulate the protein expression of p38MAPK in contrast to control guoup,radiation group and medicine group.These differences were more obvious (t =46.000,P=0.000;t=10.150,P=0.000;t =4.266,P=0.013).Combined group can down-regulate the protein expression of NF-κB in contrast to control guoup,radiation group and medicine group.These differences were more obvious (t =36.380,P =0.000;t =30.090,P =0.000;t =68.620,P =0.000).Conclusion The combined use of TMZ,ATRA and radiotherapy can induce the apoptosis of U251 glioma cells probably by the upregulation of p38MAPK and downregulation of NF-κB.

Objective To explore the differences of the drainage efficiency between unilateral external ventricular drainage and bilateral external ventricular drainage in surgical treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage.Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage treated by unilateral and bilateral external ventricular drainage were retrospectively analyzed.24 cases were treated by unilateral external ventricular drainage (unilateral group),32 cases were treated by bilateral external ventricular drainage (bilateral group).The hematoma clearance rate,duration of catheter drainage,the average daily cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage volume,the times of injecting the urokinase and the average hospital days in the intensive care unit (ICU) were recorded,and compared between two groups.Results In the group of unilateral drainage tube and group of bilateral drainage tube,the clearance rate of hematoma was (74.6 ± 8.7) % and (78.5 ± 12.5) %,comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant (t =1.308,P =0.196);the daily CSF drainage volume was (124.6 ±40.2) ml and that was (139.6 ±41.7) ml,comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant(t =1.353,P =0.182);the times of injecting the urokinase was (4.42 ± 1.26) and (4.06 ± 1.39),comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant (t =0.998,P =0.323);the hospital stay in the ICU was (10.6 ± 3.6) days and (13.3 ±5.0) days respectively,there was a significant difference between the two groups (t =2.243,P =0.029).The duration of catheter drainage in group of unilateral drainage tube was (5.0 ± 1.7) days,and that was (6.6 ±2.2) days in group of bilateral drainage tube,and there was significant difference between the two groups (t =2.959,P =0.005).Conclusion The bilateral external drainage can not improve the hematoma clearance rate,reduce the times of injecting the urokinase and lower the hospitalization days in the ICU of the patients.
Objective To investigate and compare the curative effect of endoscopic management and craniotomic hematoma evacuation in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).Methods Seventy cases of HICH were randomly divided into 2 groups:endoscopy group (30 cases) and craniotomy group (40 cases).In the patients with intracerebral hematoma volume of 30-40 ml,the therapeutic effect was compared between two groups:incision of scalp,bone window,cortical incision,blood loss,operating duration,rate of hematoma evacuation,rate of rehemorrhage,rate of intracranial infection,mortality and Barthel index.Results The length of scalp incision in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was (5.40 ± 0.97) cm and (24.50 ± 3.88) cm,comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t =26.310,P=0.000).The area of bone window in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was (12.5 ±2.2) cm2 and (63.3 ± 12.3) cm2 respectively,comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t =22.320,P =0.000).The length of cortical incision in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was (1.05 ± 0.45) cm and (2.40 ± 0.52) cm respectively,comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t =11.385,P =0.000).The blood loss in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was (80.0 ± 18.3) ml and (339.0 ±90.3) ml respectively,comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t =15.450,P =0.000).The time of operating duration in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was (0.96 ±0.31) h and (4.35 ±0.57) h respectively,comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t =24.440,P =0.001).The rates of hematoma evacuation in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was (81.O0 ± 7.93) % and (92.40 ± 6.15) % respectively,comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant (x2 =6.777,P =0.138).Rates of rehemorrhage in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was 7.5% and 6.7% respectively,comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant (x2 =0.018,P =1.000).The rates of intracranial infection in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was 10% and 15%,comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant (x2 =1.350,P =0.723).Death rates in endoscopy group and craniotomy group was 5%and 6% respectively,comparison between the two groups was not statistically significant (x2 =0.088,P =1.000).Barthel index in endoscopy group (75.34 ±20.51) was higher compared with craniotomy group (55.30 ± 10.20).Comparison between the two groups was statistically significant (t =1.350,P =0.000).Conclusion For the patients with intracerebral hematoma volume 30-40 ml,endoscopic surgery has the advantages including minimally invasive、short operating duration and good prognosis,but it has lower hematoma evacuation than craniotomic hematoma evacuation.
Choristoma is a mass of tissue that is histologically normal for the organ or part of the body from which it originates, but is located at an abnormal site. Choristoma of the nervous system involves the occurrence of residual dysplastic tissues outside the nervous system and exhibits a low incidence. Thus far, there has been no prior report of intraspinal choristoma originating from the striated muscle. The patient in the present case was a young man who was admitted to the hospital wing to intermittent lumbago. A lumbar magnetic resonance imaging examination revealed a cystic-solid lesion in the spinal canal at the S1 level. Preoperatively, the lesion was suspected to be a teratoma and was therefore completely removed. The postoperative pathological report suggested that the mass was an intraspinal choristoma, a benign lesion associated with a good prognosis, which had originated from striated muscle. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression of nerve dysfunction. The patient recovered well postoperatively and the symptoms of lower back pain disappeared. Although intraspinal choristomas are rare, when a lesion in the spinal canal is diagnosed, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis tumors.
