Background

Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, and dexamethasone are known to prolong analgesia when used as adjuvants in peripheral nerve blocks. However, their comparative efficacy as perineural adjuvants in scalp nerve blocks (SNB) for awake craniotomy remains uncertain.

Methods

Fifty adults degree of postoperative sedation (18–65 years) undergoing awake craniotomy were randomized to receive SNB with 30 ml of 0.5 % ropivacaine plus dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg (Group D, n = 25) or dexamethasone 8 mg (Group Z, n = 25), 20 min before skull pin fixation. The primary outcome was time to first rescue analgesia. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain (numerical rating scale, NRS), 24-hour rescue analgesic consumption, onset of sensory block, perioperative hemodynamics during application of noxious stimulus, degree postoperative sedation, and incidence of any complications.

Results

The time to first rescue analgesia was significantly longer in Group D than in Group Z (14 [12–16] vs. 12.3 [9–13] h, P = 0.03). Rescue analgesic consumption was lower in Group D (1.64 ± 0.82 vs. 2.26 ± 0.89, P = 0.021). Pain scores were significantly reduced in Group D at 8 h (P = 0.01) and 12 h (P = 0.01). Group D also showed lower heart rate at skull pin fixation (P = 0.02), skin incision (P = 0.03), and closure (P = 0.001), and lower mean arterial pressure at dural (P = 0.001) and skin closure (P = 0.007). The onset of sensory block, sedation scores, and complications were comparable.

Conclusion

Perineural dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in SNB prolongs postoperative analgesia, reduces rescue analgesic requirements, and provides superior attenuation of the hemodynamic response to noxious stimulus as compared to dexamethasone, in the absence of any adverse effects.

背景:已知右美托咪定(一种α -2肾上腺素能受体激动剂)和地塞米松在周围神经阻滞中作为佐剂可延长镇痛时间。然而,在清醒开颅术中,它们作为头皮神经阻滞(SNB)的神经周佐剂的比较疗效仍不确定。方法:50成人术后镇静程度(18 - 65岁)接受开颅清醒被随机分配接受瑞士央行30 0.5毫升 % ropivacaine + dexmedetomidine 1 μg / kg (D组,n = 25)或地塞米松8 毫克(Z, n = 25),前20 分钟头骨销固定。主要观察指标为首次镇痛时间。次要结局包括术后疼痛(数值评定量表,NRS)、24小时抢救镇痛消耗、感觉阻滞的发生、应用有害刺激时围手术期血流动力学、术后镇静程度和任何并发症的发生率。结果:D组首次抢救镇痛时间明显长于Z组(14[12-16]比12.3 [9-13]h, P = 0.03)。D组抢救镇痛药用量较低(1.64 ± 0.82 vs. 2.26 ± 0.89,P = 0.021)。D组疼痛评分在8 h (P = 0.01)和12 h (P = 0.01)显著降低。D组还显示低心率在头骨销固定(P = 0.02),皮肤切口(P = 0.03),和关闭(P = 0.001),并降低平均动脉压在硬铝(P = 0.001)和皮肤(P = 0.007)关闭。感觉阻滞的发生、镇静评分和并发症具有可比性。结论:与地塞米松相比,神经周右美托咪定作为罗哌卡因在SNB中的辅助治疗延长了术后镇痛时间,减少了救援镇痛需求,并且在没有任何不良反应的情况下,对有害刺激的血流动力学反应提供了更好的衰减。临床试验注册-印度(CTRI) ID: CTRI/2024/01/062046。

Background

In idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), optimal valve pressure selection is critical. While indicators have been reported for ventriculoperitoneal shunts (VPS) and lumboperitoneal shunts (LPS), no peer-reviewed publications have reported on ventriculoatrial shunts (VAS).

Methods:

We retrospectively analyzed 54 iNPH patients treated using a SPVA-140 valve without antisiphon device between 2010 and 2017. Clinical outcomes (modified Rankin scale, iNPH grading scale), valve pressures, and complications were assessed. Optimal pressure was defined as the setting associated with maximal improvement in iNPH grading scale, and its correlation with preoperative height, body weight, body mass index, and cerebrospinal fluid pressure was examined.

Results:

The median follow-up was 3.3 years. Optimal pressure was 10–40 mmH₂O in 81.5 % of patients (10 mmH₂O in 29, 40 mmH₂O in 15). Median improvements were 1 on the modified Rankin scale and 3 on the iNPH grading scale, with a median of 4 valve adjustments. Subdural hematoma occurred in 46.3 % of patients but was managed conservatively without requiring surgical intervention; shunt malfunction developed in 3 patients. No correlation was observed between optimal pressure and preoperative height, body weight, body mass index, or cerebrospinal fluid pressure.

Conclusion:

Unlike VPS or LPS, optimal VAS pressure converges at low settings (10–40 mmH₂O) and is independent of body habitus. VAS may therefore be a particularly effective option in obese or elderly patients.
背景:在特发性常压脑积水(iNPH)中,最佳瓣膜压力的选择至关重要。虽然已经报道了脑室-腹膜分流(VPS)和腰腹膜分流(LPS)的指标,但没有同行评议的出版物报道了脑室-心房分流(VAS)。方法:回顾性分析2010年至2017年期间使用SPVA-140瓣膜治疗的54例不带反虹吸装置的iNPH患者。评估临床结果(改良Rankin量表、iNPH分级量表)、瓣膜压力和并发症。将最优压力定义为iNPH分级量表改善最大的设置,并检查其与术前身高、体重、体重指数和脑脊液压力的相关性。结果:中位随访时间为3.3年。81.5% %患者的最佳血压为10-40 mmH₂O(29例为10 mmH₂O, 15例为40 mmH₂O)。改良Rankin量表改善的中位数为1,iNPH分级量表改善的中位数为3,调节瓣膜的中位数为4。硬膜下血肿发生46.3% %的患者,但保守处理,不需要手术干预;3例患者发生分流功能障碍。最佳压力与术前身高、体重、体重指数或脑脊液压力无相关性。结论:与VPS或LPS不同,VAS的最佳压力集中在较低的设置(10-40 mmH₂O),且与身体体质无关。因此,VAS可能是肥胖或老年患者特别有效的选择。

Objectives

The aim of this study was to investigate the demographic, clinical, and etiological characteristics of patients diagnosed with catatonic disorder due to another medical condition.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 18 patients diagnosed with catatonic disorder due to another medical condition in a tertiary care center between 2017 and 2024. Patient demographics, underlying medical conditions, clinical features, and treatment methods were documented.

Results

Eighteen patients met the inclusion criteria. The most frequent underlying conditions were neurodegenerative diseases (6/18), autoimmune encephalitis (4/18), and the use of antipsychotic medications (5/18), often in the presence of comorbid neurological disorders. Commonly observed symptoms included mutism, negativism, and rigidity. Benzodiazepines were the initial treatment in most cases (11/18). Among these 9/18 received lorazepam, 4/18 received alprazolam and 1/18 received clonazepam. Following benzodiazepine treatment, many patients required additional interventions such as electroconvulsive therapy (6/18), memantine (4/18), or amantadine (3/18). Overall, approximately 60 % of patients achieved full remission, whereas others showed only partial improvement.

Conclusions

Catatonic disorder due to another medical condition appears to present with diverse underlying causes and clinical manifestations. Although benzodiazepines are generally considered the first-line treatment, additional interventions were often needed. These findings underline the importance of clinical awareness and timely management, while further research is required to better understand prognostic factors and to guide treatment strategies.
目的本研究的目的是调查诊断为紧张性精神障碍患者的人口学、临床和病因学特征。方法回顾性分析2017年至2024年在某三级保健中心就诊的18例因其他疾病诊断为紧张性精神障碍患者。记录了患者的人口统计、基本医疗条件、临床特征和治疗方法。结果18例患者符合纳入标准。最常见的潜在疾病是神经退行性疾病(6/18)、自身免疫性脑炎(4/18)和抗精神病药物的使用(5/18),通常伴有共病的神经系统疾病。常见的症状包括沉默、消极和僵硬。苯二氮卓类药物是大多数病例的初始治疗(11/18)。其中9/18服用劳拉西泮,4/18服用阿普唑仑,1/18服用氯硝西泮。在苯二氮卓类药物治疗后,许多患者需要额外的干预措施,如电休克治疗(6/18)、美金刚胺(4/18)或金刚烷胺(3/18)。总体而言,大约60% %的患者获得完全缓解,而其他患者仅显示部分改善。结论由其他内科疾病引起的张力障碍具有多种病因和临床表现。虽然苯二氮卓类药物通常被认为是一线治疗,但往往需要额外的干预措施。这些发现强调了临床意识和及时管理的重要性,同时需要进一步的研究来更好地了解预后因素并指导治疗策略。

Introduction

Chordoma represents a central nervous system tumor with an incidence of 8.4 per 10 million individuals in the U.S. Current treatment options include surgical resection and radiotherapy. Despite recent studies demonstrating significant improvement in molecular understanding of disease, treatment options remain limited.

Objectives

To evaluate a database of high-throughput drug screening in conjunction with a systematic literature review of potential novel target sites.

Methods

A systematic review using terms "chordoma” AND “targeted therapy” OR “clinical trial” yielded 4560 articles, which were screened, and a total of 88 were included in the final analysis. Evaluation of the Chordoma Foundation high-throughput drug screening database was cross-referenced with published literature.

Results

Targeted therapies mostly involved receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors suppressed chordoma cell proliferation and brachyury expression in vitro and xenograft models. Epigenetic modulators showed therapeutic promise by altering chromatin states associated with brachyury overexpression. Genomic analyses showed recurrent alterations in TBXT, CDKN2A/B, PTEN, and chromatin remodeling genes such as SMARCB1 and PBRM1. Immunotherapeutic approaches had efficacy in preclinical models through PD-L1 blockade, NK, and CAR-T cell strategies. Vaccine-based therapies showed limited clinical benefit. RNA-based therapies represent emerging strategies that need more studies.

Conclusion

Biomarker-guided repurposing of therapies approved in other tumors remains the fastest path to redefining the treatment model, but chordoma rarity and low mutation burden limit the impact of genomics in target discovery. This analysis indicates several potential candidate drugs that may be rapidly deployable in a clinical trial setting.
简介:脊索瘤是一种中枢神经系统肿瘤,在美国发病率为8.4 / 1000万人。目前的治疗方案包括手术切除和放疗。尽管最近的研究表明,对疾病的分子认识有了显著改善,但治疗选择仍然有限。目的:评价一个高通量药物筛选数据库,并对潜在的新靶点进行系统的文献综述。方法:采用“脊索瘤”、“靶向治疗”或“临床试验”等术语进行系统综述,共筛选4560篇文献,最终纳入88篇文献。脊索瘤基金会高通量药物筛选数据库的评估与已发表的文献交叉参考。结果:靶向治疗主要涉及受体酪氨酸激酶抑制剂。细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶(CDK)抑制剂在体外和异种移植模型中抑制脊索瘤细胞增殖和短链表达。表观遗传调节剂通过改变与短轴过表达相关的染色质状态显示出治疗前景。基因组分析显示TBXT、CDKN2A/B、PTEN和染色质重塑基因(如SMARCB1和PBRM1)的反复改变。免疫治疗方法通过PD-L1阻断、NK和CAR-T细胞策略在临床前模型中有效。基于疫苗的疗法显示出有限的临床效益。基于rna的疗法代表了需要更多研究的新兴策略。结论:生物标志物引导的其他肿瘤已批准治疗方法的再利用仍然是重新定义治疗模式的最快途径,但脊索瘤的罕见性和低突变负担限制了基因组学在靶点发现中的影响。该分析指出了几种可能在临床试验环境中快速部署的潜在候选药物。

Introduction

Parasagittal meningiomas are challenging due to their proximity to the superior sagittal sinus and draining veins, often limiting gross total resection. Limited data exist on the efficacy of Gamma Knife Radiosurgery (GKSRS) in this progression-prone region. We evaluated the effectiveness of GKSRS in achieving tumor control.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted at a single academic institution from 2015 to 2023, analyzing predictors of progression via univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses.

Results

Thirty patients were included; 86.7 % underwent resection prior to GKSRS. At presentation, 47 % had primary and 53 % had recurrent tumors. Median tumor volume was 2.0 cm³ and diameter was 1.7 cm. Median follow-up was 33 months; mortality was 16.7 %. 80 % received single-fraction GKSRS; 20 % received five fractions. Median dose was 1500 cGy. At last follow-up, 80 % had local tumor control. One patient had pre-treatment edema; none developed post-treatment edema. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 70.6 months. WHO grade I tumors had longer PFS than grade II/III (78.5 vs. 32.4 months, p = 0.011). Older age predicted progression on univariable (HR: 1.2, p = 0.028) and multivariable analysis (HR: 1.2, p = 0.036). Tumor volume, dose, extent of resection, and recurrence status were not significant predictors.

Conclusion

Our study provides evidence suggesting that GKSRS may be a safe and potentially effective treatment for select parasagittal meningiomas.

矢状旁脑膜瘤由于其靠近上矢状窦和引流静脉而具有挑战性,通常限制了总切除。关于伽玛刀放射手术(GKSRS)在这一进展易发区域的疗效的数据有限。我们评估了GKSRS在实现肿瘤控制方面的有效性。方法回顾性分析2015 - 2023年1所学术机构的进展情况,采用单变量和多变量Cox回归分析预测因素。结果共纳入30例患者;86.7 %的患者在GKSRS前接受了切除术。在就诊时,47 %为原发肿瘤,53 %为复发肿瘤。肿瘤中位体积2.0 cm³ ,直径1.7 cm。中位随访时间为33个月;死亡率16.7 %。80 %接受单组分GKSRS;20 %分为五组。中位剂量为1500 cGy。最后随访,80% %肿瘤得到局部控制。1例患者治疗前出现水肿;治疗后没有出现水肿。中位无进展生存期(PFS)为70.6个月。WHO I级肿瘤的PFS长于II/III级肿瘤(78.5个月对32.4个月,p = 0.011)。在单变量分析(HR: 1.2, p = 0.028)和多变量分析(HR: 1.2, p = 0.036)中,年龄对病情进展有预测作用。肿瘤体积、剂量、切除程度和复发情况不是显著的预测因素。结论GKSRS可能是一种安全有效的治疗选择性矢状旁脑膜瘤的方法。与其他地区相比,控制率略低可能反映了该地区世卫组织II级肿瘤的较高患病率。对我们的发现进行细致入微的解释,以及进一步的多机构验证,是必要的。

Objective

Tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (td-PD) patients experience insufficient tremor relief following subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS). While ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) DBS offers tremor benefit, it is generally less effective for broader motor symptoms. Recent advances, including DBS leads with more than four traditional contacts, are expected to enable stimulation of both targets. Although dual-targeting of STN and VIM has been reported via frontal or parietal approaches, no direct technical comparison exists between these strategies. This exploratory study aims to assess the feasibility of each approach and to compare the two approaches in the planning of DBS targeting both VIM and STN.

Methods

We analyzed 70 hemispheres with PD. Tentative targets for STN and VIM were established using direct and indirect methods. When the straight trajectory between the two targets (tentative trajectory, TT) intersected critical structures (e.g., ventricles, sulci, blood vessels), an adjusted trajectory was planned via either a frontal or parietal approach. STN was prioritized as the primary target, accepting deviations within 2 mm from the tentative STN (tSTN).

Results

All 70 TTs required adjustment to avoid critical structures. The mean distance from the adjusted STN target to tSTN was 1.63 mm (frontal) vs. 0.52 mm (parietal, p = 5.03 × 10⁻²⁷). The distance from the adjusted VIM target to the tentative VIM was 2.68 mm (frontal) vs. 1.53 mm (parietal, p = 2.32 × 10⁻²³).

Conclusions

Single-trajectory dual-target DBS is technically feasible via both approaches. The parietal approach yields significantly closer alignment with both tentative targets.
目的震颤主导型帕金森病(td-PD)患者在接受丘脑底核(STN)深部脑刺激(DBS)后,震颤缓解不足。虽然腹侧中间核(VIM) DBS对震颤有好处,但对更广泛的运动症状通常效果较差。最近的进展,包括具有四个以上传统触点的DBS导联,有望实现对两个目标的刺激。虽然有报道通过额叶或顶叶入路双重靶向STN和VIM,但这些策略之间没有直接的技术比较。本探索性研究旨在评估每种方法的可行性,并比较两种方法在针对VIM和STN的DBS规划中的可行性。方法对70例PD患者的大脑半球进行分析。采用直接法和间接法分别建立了STN和VIM的初步指标。当两个目标之间的直线轨迹(暂定轨迹,TT)与关键结构(如脑室、脑沟、血管)相交时,通过额叶或顶叶入路计划调整轨迹。STN被优先考虑为主要目标,接受与暂定STN (tSTN)偏差在2 mm以内。结果70例TTs均需调整以避开关键结构。调整后的STN目标到tSTN的平均距离为1.63 mm(正面)vs. 0.52 mm(顶骨,p = 5.03 × 10⁻²⁷)。从调整后的VIM目标到暂定VIM的距离为2.68 mm(正面)vs. 1.53 mm(顶骨,p = 2.32 × 10⁻²³)。结论单轨迹双靶点DBS在技术上是可行的。顶叶入路与两个暂定目标明显更接近。

Objective

Navigated suction devices may enhance intraoperative efficiency and maximize safe resection of infiltrative gliomas by providing real-time anatomical guidance. However, their use and safety in high-grade glioma (HGG) surgery is unreported. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of a neuronavigation-integrated suction (NIS) device compared to conventional neuronavigation in patients undergoing resection for HGGs.

Methods

We utilized an NIS device in 33 HGG (WHO grade III/IV) resections. We retrospectively collected data on 174 HGG resections using standard neuronavigation during the same period, then performed propensity score matching (age, sex, prior treatment, tumor grade, tumor location, IDH status) to create 33 matched pairs (NIS vs. control, n = 66). Outcomes included extent of resection, operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL), complications, and length of stay (LOS).

Results

Baseline characteristics, including age (P = 0.299), sex (P = 0.319), tumor laterality (P = 0.196), anatomic location (P = 0.861), eloquent area (P = 0.769), tumor grade (P = 1.000), IDH mutation status (P = 0.415), prior resection (P = 0.602), and prior radiation therapy (P = 0.071), were comparable between groups. The NIS group had shorter operative times (193.7 ± 52.0 vs. 230.5 ± 69.2 min, P = 0.009). Intended GTR was more common with NIS (95 % vs. 65.2 %, P = 0.017). LOS was shorter in the NIS group (median 2.0 [1.75, 2.25] vs. 2.0 [1.5, 13.0] days, P = 0.030) with fewer postoperative complications (6.1 % vs. 30.3 %, P = 0.011). EBL (P = 0.418) and intraoperative complications (P = 0.314) were similar. Recurrence (57.6 %) and six-month mortality (21.2 %) were similar; there was no significant difference in median overall survival (control: 362 [110.5, 498.8] vs. NIS: 428 [177.5, 536] days, P = 0.237).

Conclusion

The NIS device was feasible to use in high-grade glioma surgery, and its use did not appear to compromise resection quality, complication rates, or oncologic outcomes. As neuronavigation and real-time intraoperative technologies advance, integrating such tools may further enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes for infiltrative gliomas. Future prospective, randomized studies should refine this technology and explore its broader impact on neurosurgical practice.
目的:导航吸引装置可提供实时解剖引导,提高术中效率,最大限度地安全切除浸润性胶质瘤。然而,它们在高级别胶质瘤(HGG)手术中的使用和安全性尚未报道。与传统神经导航相比,我们评估了神经导航-综合吸引(NIS)装置在hgg切除术患者中的安全性和可行性。方法:我们在33例HGG (WHO III/IV级)切除术中使用NIS装置。我们回顾性收集了同期174例HGG切除术的数据,使用标准神经导航,然后进行倾向评分匹配(年龄、性别、既往治疗、肿瘤分级、肿瘤位置、IDH状态),创建33对匹配(NIS vs. control, n = 66)。结果包括切除程度、手术时间、估计失血量(EBL)、并发症和住院时间(LOS)。结果:基线特征,包括年龄(P = 0.299)、性别(P = 0.319),肿瘤一侧(P = 0.196),解剖位置(P = 0.861),雄辩的面积(P = 0.769),肿瘤(P = 1.000),年级IDH突变状态(P = 0.415),切除(P = 0.602)之前,和之前的放射治疗(P = 0.071),组间比较。NIS组手术时间更短(193.7 ± 52.0 vs 230.5 ± 69.2 min, P = 0.009)。预期GTR在NIS中更为常见(95 % vs. 65.2 %,P = 0.017)。NIS组的LOS较短(中位数2.0[1.75,2.25]对2.0[1.5,13.0]天,P = 0.030),术后并发症较少(6.1 %对30.3 %,P = 0.011)。EBL (P = 0.418)与术中并发症(P = 0.314)相似。复发率(57.6% %)和6个月死亡率(21.2% %)相似;中位总生存期无显著差异(对照组:362[110.5,498.8]天和NIS: 428[177.5, 536]天,P = 0.237)。结论:NIS装置在高级别胶质瘤手术中是可行的,其使用似乎不会影响切除质量、并发症发生率或肿瘤预后。随着神经导航和实时术中技术的进步,整合这些工具可以进一步提高浸润性胶质瘤的手术精度和患者预后。未来的前瞻性随机研究应该完善这项技术,并探索其对神经外科实践的更广泛影响。

Background and objectives

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor and is universally fatal. Human and laboratory studies have suggested lidocaine has anti-GBM efficacy. The objective of this study was to assess direct cytotoxicity as a possible mechanism of anti-GBM efficacy of lidocaine by quantifying the concentration of lidocaine in tumor tissue during resection.

Methods

Twelve patients with pathology-confirmed IDHwt GBM were included in this study. The study group received an intravenous bolus dose of 1.5 mg/kg IBW of lidocaine at induction of anesthesia followed by 2 mg/kg IBW/hr infusion. Craniotomy was performed in the standard fashion. Up to 3 fresh tumor specimens were collected hourly from each patient after confirmation of diagnosis by frozen section. Plasma samples were simultaneously collected. Lidocaine concentration was measured using mass spectroscopy. The maximum concentration of lidocaine (Cmax), time from bolus to maximum concentration (Tmax), and area under curve from 0 to 3 h (AUC) were calculated for each patient. Patients were followed for survival and adverse events.

Results

The median tumor specimen Cmax, Tmax, and AUC values were 333 ng/mL (range 226–555), 179 min (range 126–211), and 20,665 ng*min/mL (range 8003–55,426), respectively. Peak lidocaine concentration in tumor was reached in 6 of 11 cases (excluding one patient due to missing the 3rd sample). Median Cmax and Tmax for plasma samples were 1195 ng/mL (range 951–1475) and 191 min (range 156–211), respectively. Median overall survival was 308 days (95 % CI: 74–413). Two grade 3 adverse events occurred which were deemed to be unlikely related to the study intervention.

Conclusion

While lidocaine infiltrates tumor tissue when administered intravenously during GBM surgery, concentrations do not reach levels previously demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth in in vitro studies (roughly 2*108 ng/mL lidocaine). Alternative mechanisms may explain previously observed improved outcomes with lidocaine administration in human studies.
背景与目的胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是最常见的原发性恶性脑肿瘤,具有普遍的致命性。人体和实验室研究表明利多卡因具有抗gbm功效。本研究的目的是通过量化肿瘤组织中利多卡因的浓度来评估利多卡因抗gbm疗效的直接细胞毒性可能机制。方法选取12例经病理证实的IDHwt GBM患者。研究组在麻醉诱导时静脉滴注1.5 mg/kg IBW的利多卡因,然后静脉滴注2 mg/kg IBW/hr。开颅手术按标准方式进行。经冷冻切片确认诊断后,每小时从每位患者身上采集最多3个新鲜肿瘤标本。同时采集血浆样本。用质谱法测定利多卡因浓度。计算每位患者利多卡因最大浓度(Cmax)、给药至最大浓度时间(Tmax)和0 ~ 3 h的曲线下面积(AUC)。随访患者的生存和不良事件。结果肿瘤标本中位Cmax、Tmax和AUC值分别为333 ng/mL(226 ~ 555)、179 min(126 ~ 211)和20665 ng*min/mL(8003 ~ 55,426)。11例中有6例肿瘤内利多卡因浓度达到峰值(1例因缺少第3个样本)。血浆样品的中位Cmax和Tmax分别为1195 ng/mL(范围951-1475)和191 min(范围156-211)。中位总生存期为308天(95 % CI: 74-413)。发生了两个3级不良事件,被认为不太可能与研究干预有关。结论:虽然在GBM手术中静脉给药利多卡因会渗入肿瘤组织,但在体外研究中,利多卡因的浓度并未达到抑制肿瘤生长的水平(约2*108 ng/mL利多卡因)。其他机制可以解释先前观察到的利多卡因在人体研究中改善的结果。

Objective

Stroke remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, with hospital ownership potentially influencing patient outcomes. This study evaluated how government-owned (GO) versus private for-profit (PFP) hospitals affect the length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, and discharge disposition of stroke patients.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study used National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2019 to 2021 to identify patients with ischemic stroke affecting the internal carotid, middle cerebral, vertebral, or basilar arteries. Patients were stratified by hospital ownership type and differences in clinical characteristics and outcomes, including LOS, mortality, and discharge disposition, were analyzed. Multivariable regression models assessed the impact of hospital ownership on outcomes, adjusting for age, race, NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), functional status, and socioeconomic factors.

Results

A total of 116,280 stroke patients were included, with 59,755 (51.4 %) treated at GO hospitals and 56,525 (48.6 %) PFP hospitals. Multivariate analysis revealed a protective effect of PFP hospitals on mortality rates (OR 0.70, 95 % CI: 0.65–0.75, p < 0.001), and a shorter LOS (β = −0.33, 95 % CI: −0.47 to −0.19, p < 0.001) when controlling for disease severity via the NIHSS. Further, PFP hospitals had higher odds of discharge to a non-home disposition (OR 1.11, 95 % CI: 1.06–1.16, p < 0.001).

Conclusions

PFP hospitals were associated with shorter LOS and lower mortality rates among stroke patients, but also with a decreased likelihood of discharge to home. After adjusting for disease severity, these disparities persisted. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying these disparities in patient outcomes based on hospital ownership.
在美国,中风仍然是发病率和死亡率的主要原因,医院所有权可能会影响患者的预后。本研究评估了公立医院(GO)与私立营利性医院(PFP)对中风患者住院时间(LOS)、住院死亡率和出院处置的影响。方法本回顾性队列研究使用2019年至2021年的全国住院患者样本(NIS)数据,确定影响颈内动脉、大脑中动脉、椎动脉或基底动脉的缺血性卒中患者。根据医院所属类型对患者进行分层,并分析临床特征和结局(包括LOS、死亡率和出院处置)的差异。多变量回归模型评估了医院所有权对结果的影响,调整了年龄、种族、NIH卒中量表(NIHSS)、功能状态和社会经济因素。结果共纳入脑卒中患者116,280例,其中GO医院59,755例(51.4 %),PFP医院56,525例(48.6 %)。多变量分析显示,当通过NIHSS控制疾病严重程度时,PFP医院对死亡率(OR = 0.70, 95 % CI: 0.65-0.75, p <; 0.001)和较短的LOS (β = - 0.33, 95 % CI: - 0.47至- 0.19,p <; 0.001)具有保护作用。此外,PFP医院有较高的非家庭安置出院几率(OR 1.11, 95 % CI: 1.06-1.16, p <; 0.001)。结论spfp医院与卒中患者较短的LOS和较低的死亡率有关,但也与出院回家的可能性降低有关。在对疾病严重程度进行调整后,这些差异仍然存在。需要进一步的研究来探索基于医院所有权的患者结果差异的机制。

Objective

Postoperative pneumocephalus after burr hole drainage for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) may delay brain re-expansion and worsen prognosis. This study assessed the "liquid–gas exchange" technique’s value in reducing intracranial air and promoting early brain re-expansion.

Method

A retrospective analysis included 147 CSDH patients who underwent single burr hole drainage (Jan 2021–Jul 2025). They were divided by intraoperative air evacuation: new technique group (n = 66) and conventional group (n = 81). Baseline characteristics (gender, age, medical history, antiplatelet/anticoagulant use, hematoma volume, bilaterality) were comparable (all P > 0.05). Surgical position, anesthesia type, postoperative pneumocephalus volume, symptomatic pneumocephalus, 1-week residual cavity volume, complications, and 3-month recurrence were compared.

Result

On postoperative day 1, pneumocephalus volume was lower in the new technique group (15.2 ± 8.1 mL vs. 32.5 ± 18.3 mL, P < 0.001). Tension pneumocephalus occurred in 12 conventional group cases (none in the new group, P = 0.003). At 1 week, residual cavity volume was smaller in the new group (24.5 ± 12.8 mL vs. 45.2 ± 18.5 mL, P < 0.001). Complications: 1 epilepsy case/group; no infections; 2 subdural bleeding cases (conventional group only, P = 0.643). At 3 months, 3 conventional group cases recurred (none in the new group, P = 0.115).

Conclusion

The "liquid–gas exchange" technique reduces postoperative pneumocephalus (especially symptomatic cases) and 1-week residual cavity volume, promoting early brain re-expansion and better prognosis, with high clinical value for wider use.
