Endoscopic endonasal surgery of Rathke's cleft cysts-- preoperative imaging evaluation, personalized removal and multilevel sellar floor reconstruction.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) and the advantages of detailed preoperative imaging evaluation, intraoperative personalized removal and multilevel sellar floor reconstruction.

Methods: The clinical data of 43 patients with RCCs who were treated by EES in the neurosurgery department of affiliated hospital of Jiangnan University and Wuxi No.2 People's Hospital from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Intradural Subtemporal Keyhole Approach with Neuronavigational Assistance to the Petroclival and Ventrolateral Brainstem Regions: Quantitative Analysis of Anatomic Exposure and Surgical Freedom.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the advantages of endoscopy and navigational assistance in the intradural subtemporal keyhole approach and the intradural Kawase approach by studying anatomic exposure and surgical freedom in the posterior cranial fossa.

Methods: Twenty endoscopic intradural subtemporal keyhole approaches (EISKA) were performed on 10 cadaveric heads. An intradural Kawase approach and a navigation-assisted intradural Kawase approach were then carried out on a random side of each specimen.

Endoscopic Intradural Subtemporal Keyhole Approach with Neuronavigational Assistance to the Suprasellar, Petroclival, and Ventrolateral Brainstem Regions: An Anatomic Study.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of a purely endoscopic intradural approach to the suprasellar, petroclival, and ventrolateral brainstem regions through a subtemporal keyhole and to assess the value of neuronavigational assistance in the Kawase approach.

Methods: Twenty endoscopic intradural subtemporal keyhole approaches were performed on 10 cadaveric heads. An intradural Kawase approach and a navigation-assisted intradural Kawase approach were then carried out on a random side of each specimen.

A rat pup model of cerebral palsy induced by prenatal inflammation and hypoxia.

Animal models of cerebral palsy established by simple infection or the hypoxia/ischemia method cannot effectively simulate the brain injury of a premature infant. Healthy 17-day-pregnant Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with lipopolysaccharide then subjected to hypoxia. The pups were used for this study at 4 weeks of age.
