Over the past few decades, majority of neurosurgeons only specialize in spinal cord diseases. However, with the advances in spine surgery, more and more neurosurgeons focus on spine diseases. Precision minimally invasive technique in surgery of spine and spinal cord is an important branch of neurosurgery. As traditional surgery has been gradually replaced by precision surgery, open surgery has been gradually replaced by minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the diagnosis and treatment of spine disea...

Spinal ependymomas (SEs) are common adult intramedullary tumors;however, determining the absolute boundary between the tumor and the tumor residual may be difficult.We assessed outcomes following the use of fluorescein sodium (FS) during surgical removal of SEs.We performed a retrospective analysis of 112 patients with SEs who were treated at Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital between December 2014 and December 2016.Each patient received intravenous FS (3-4 mg/kg) to determine the SE boundaries...
Application of intraoperative O-arm-assisted real-time navigation technique for spinal fixation

This study explored the combined use of the O-arm and real-time navigation during spinal fixation. The clinical data for 60 patients undergoing spinal fixation, at Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital between May 5, 2015 and May 1, 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-, intra-, and postoperative imaging findings were assessed. The patients were classified into the occipitocervical fusion (32 cases) and thoracic/lumbar/sacral spine fixation (28 cases, including 6 cases of percutaneous pedicle...

Objectives: Ganglioneuroma is a rare,benign neurogenic tumor arising from the sympathetic ganglia.In this report,we reviewed and summarized the clinical features, treatment,and prognosis of a posterior mediastinal ganglioneuroma.
Case:Here,we report on a 29-year-old man referred to us with transient pain in the right side of the chest,lasting for three days.Physical examination revealed no abnormalities. The results of routine laboratory tests were within t...

Schwannomas are the most common type of spinal tumor, and they most commonly occur in intradural extramedullary locations. Intramedullary schwannomas of the central nervous system are very rare and are difficult to diagnose using preoperative imaging. Here, we report a rare, tiny cervical intramedullary schwannoma and review the literature regarding the clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging, pathology, and surgical experience associated with this rare tumor type.
Strategies to improve the migration of mesenchymal stromal cells in cell therapy

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells under consideration as a potential new therapy for a variety of inflammatory diseases including certain neurological disorders. It is generally thought that the efficacy of cell therapy in attenuating damage after ischemia, inflammation, or injury depends on the quantity of transplanted cells recruited to the target tissue. However, only a small number of systematically infused MSCs can effectively migrate to target sites, which signifi...
Advances in research of intracranial vascular stent

In recent years, China's population has shown an obvious aging trend. This trend has been accompanied by an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and death. Intracranial stenting has become an important treatment modality for intracranial vascular disease because it is effective, safe, and widely approved. In this paper, we review the literature concerning the classification, structure, preparation, and performance of intracranial stents. We also summarize problems and future prospects i...
