Background: Precise diagnosis and rapid treatment for acute complex intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) are crucial. The neurosurgical hybrid operating platform integrates traditional open neurosurgery operating room functionalities with endovascular therapy capabilities and is developing in the neurosurgical practice. However, its effect on the emergent complicated neurovascular cases needs pilot exploration.

Employing cutting-edge N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and RNA sequencing techniques, we delved into the impact of m6A modification on gene expression and plant defense responses. Through the evaluation of nematode development in both resistant and susceptible roots, a pivotal time point (3 days postinoculation) for m6A methylation sequencing was identified.

The novel method enables the scanning laser plane to slide along a slide rail while maintaining intersection with the positioning laser plane, eliminating the need to determine the scanning direction and moving step. During the measurement process, the laser plane equations need to be recalibrated for each new position, so a real-time calibration method is given.

With the merits of simple implementation and better fitting, the non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) is employed to parameterize conical connecting beams of the DAM, and an analytical model of the displacement amplification ratio and input stiffness is established based on Castigliano's second theorem. After that, considering the interactions with elastic loads and PSA, the actual displacement amplification ratio of the conical DAM is obtained, and the effect of the shape of connecting beams in the performance of the DAM is further analyzed.

Studies have shown an inextricable relationship between gut microbiota and hyperuricemia. This study explored the association between intestinal flora and hyperuricemia in Goslings.

During the measurement, the single-line structured light projects onto the surface of an object and the three-line structured light remains fixed. The single-line laser is moved and intersects with the three-line laser to form three intersection points.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed bAVM patients from a multicenter, prospectively collected database (NCT03774017) between June 2016 and June 2020. Patients were divided into single-staged hybrid operation (HO) group and multi-staged operation (MO) group according to the received treatment, in which microsurgeries were performed with embolization in a single setting or with multi-stage procedure, respectively.
It remains a challenge in surgical treatments of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in Spetzler-Martin Grade (SMG) IV and V to achieve both optimal neurological outcomes and complete obliteration. The authors reported a series of patients with AVMs in SMG IV and V who underwent a surgical paradigm of endovascular embolization and simultaneous microsurgical resection based on the one-staged hybrid operation. Participants in the multicenter prospective clinical trial (NCT03774017) between January 2016 and December 2019 were enrolled.

An extended literature search on MEDLINE was performed between Jan 1970 and May 2020. Eloquence-related literature was further screened and interpreted in different subcategories of this guideline.

Methods: From 2011 to 2020, we retrospectively reviewed 74 PComA aneurysms originating from fPCA in terms of the clinical and radiological features and obtained the follow-up data from the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. The relationships between these features and follow-up data were assessed with the univariate and multivariate analysis.
We aimed to study the clinical and radiological characteristics of intracranial tumors and explore the possible predictive value of these characteristics in relation to perioperative outcomes in elderly patients. We retrospectively identified 1535 elderly patients (aged 65 years and older) with intracranial tumors who underwent surgical resection between 2014 and 2018 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Factors associated with an increased risk of unfavorable perioperative performance and complications were investigated.

The insufficient lesion-to-eloquence distance (LED) is related to poor neurological outcomes. This paper reports the use of in situ embolization combined with surgical resection in a one-staged hybrid operation for eloquent area protection.

None of the traditional methods, such as microsurgical operation, endovascular intervention, or stereotactic radiotherapy, can completely eliminate complex bAVMs without a risk of neural function deterioration. The multistaged hybrid operation solved part of the challenge but remained risky in the installment procedures and intervals.
