Real-world data on clinical outcomes and validation of prognostic models for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: a multicentric retrospective study in Southern China.

Background: This study aimed to elucidate the treatment outcomes and prognosis of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) patients in a real-world setting.

Objectives: The clinical efficacy of new drug applications was evaluated, alongside the predictive accuracy of prognostic models, to inform future research.

Methods: In this study, 82.

Laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis open anastomosis for ileostomy reversal in Crohn's disease: A single center retrospective study.

Background: There is an increased maturation of laparoscopic intracorporeal anastomosis techniques. However, research on its application for small bowel stoma reversal in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is limited. Therefore, in this study, we compared the perioperative outcomes between laparoscopic intracorporeal ileostomy reversal (LIIR) and open ileostomy reversal (OIR).

Theta burst stimulation on the fronto-cerebellar connective network promotes cognitive processing speed in the simple cognitive task.

Background: The fronto-cerebellar functional network has been proposed to subserve cognitive processing speed. This study aims to elucidate how the long-range frontal-to-cerebellar effective connectivity contributes to faster speed.

Methods: In total, 60 healthy participants were randomly allocated to three five-daily sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation conditions, namely intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS, excitatory), continuous theta-burst stimulation (CTBS, inhibitory), or a sham condition.

Cytotoxicity and Apoptosis Induced by L. Essential Oil in Human Normal Liver Cell Line L02 via the Endogenous Mitochondrial Pathway Rather Than the Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress.

L. ( has been used as dietary condiments and as traditional medicine in South America. The oil of L.

Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging for predicting the consistency of intracranial meningiomas.

Background: The ability of preoperative MRI-sequences to predict the consistency of intracranial meningiomas has not yet been clearly defined. We aim to demonstrate that diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) improves the prediction of intracranial meningiomas consistency.

Methods: We prospectively studied 110 meningioma patients operated on in a single center from March 1st to the 25th of May 2012.

Proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid: toward the identification of biomarkers for gliomas.

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors in adults and, despite advances in the understandings of glioma pathogenesis in the genetic era, they are still ineradicable, justifying the need to develop more reliable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for this malignancy. Because changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are suggested to be capable of sensitively reflecting pathological processes, e.g.

Papillary meningioma: clinical and histopathological observations.

Papillary meningioma is a rare subtype of malignant meningiomas, which is classified by the World Health Organization as Grade III. Because of lack of large sample size case studies, many of the specific characteristics of papillary meningioma are unclear. This study investigated by retrospective analysis the clinical, radiological and histopathological findings of 17 papillary meningioma patients who underwent surgical resection or biopsy, to assess the characteristics of papillary meningioma.

Histopathological classification and location of consecutively operated meningiomas at a single institution in China from 2001 to 2010.

Background: Meningioma is one of the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, but there are not many detailed studies on the sex, age, subtypes and locations of large series. This study was a retrospective analysis of the characteristics of meningioma cases consecutively operated on at a single institution in China from 2001 to 2010.

Methods: This study investigated the demographic background of 7084 meningioma cases, and the subtypes and locations of the tumors.

Preoperative surgical planning for intracranial meningioma resection by virtual reality.

Background: The Dextroscope system by Volume Interactions (Singapore) had been applied to minimally invasive neurosurgery in many units. This system enables the neurosurgeon to interact intuitively with the three-dimensional graphics in a direct manner resembling the way one communicates with the real objects. In the paper, we explored its values in pre-operation surgical planning for intracranial meningiomas resection.

Microsurgical treatment for giant and irregular pituitary adenomas in a series of 54 consecutive patients.

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the clinical significance of the various optional surgical approaches for giant and irregular pituitary adenomas and to summarize the optimal surgical protocols for the adenomas in terms of different growth morphologies. Fifty-four cases with giant and irregular pituitary adenomas were treated by studying their clinical features and image examinations, designing the specific surgical protocols, and choosing the optimal approaches according to the various growth morphologies. Neuro-endoscope and neuronavigation-assisted techniques were applied intraoperatively.

Multiple intracranial cavernous malformations: clinical features and treatment.

Background: Although patients with MCMs have increasingly been found in clinics, little has been focused on them. Thus, we intended to investigate these patients' clinical presentations, family history, radiological characters, and treatment strategy.

Methods: A retrospective review of the files and family investigations were conducted for 30 patients with MCMs.
