Introduction: The diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, a frequent age-related metabolic bone disorder, remain incomprehensive and challenging. The potential regulatory role of lncRNA XIST and sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) pathway need experimental investigations.

Materials And Methods: RAW264.

Objective: To find a way to discriminate operative reason from anaesthesia reason for the changes of intraoperative transcranial magnetic motor evoked potentials (MEPs).

Methods: In 26 patients under Etomidate/Fentanyl anesthesia from February 2001 to June 2004, MEPs elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation were recorded from tibialis anterior muscles, simultaneously bispectral index (BIS) and train-of-four stimulation (TOF) were used to monitor the anesthesia depth and neuromuscular blockade respectively. MEP, BIS and measurements of TOF at different anesthesia depth and muscular relaxation were recorded synchronously, statistical analysis of this data set was done in order to find the inherent relationship between these variables.

Objective: To evaluate the utility of neuronavigation in the microsurgery for cerebral cavernous malformations.

Methods: In a retrospective study, 47 patients with cavernous malformations were involved from January 1995 to December 2010. Fourteen cases admitted into hospital from January 1995 to December 2002 were treated without neuronavigation (conventional group), the focus localization was based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, anatomic landmarks, and the experiences of the neurosurgeon.

Objective: To explore the approach and efficacy of microsurgery for tuberculum sellae meningiomas.

Methods: The clinical data of 56 patients with tuberculum sellae meningiomas treated at our department from 1991 - 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 20 males and 36 females with an age range of 32 - 65 years old (mean: 46).

Objective: To evaluate the practicability and validity of transcranial magnetic motor evoked potential monitoring (TMS-MEP) during spinal surgery.

Methods: From February 2001 to June 2004, 37 patients undergoing spinal surgery were involved, anaesthesia was maintained with volatile anesthetics in 11 operations and etomidate in 26. Analgesia was provided with fentanyl, and non-depolarizing muscle relaxant was given intermittently.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of clinical manifestations, diagnostic imaging, pathology, and microsurgical treatment of spinal cavernous malformation.

Methods: The clinical data of 28 patients with spinal cavernous malformation undergoing total resection through posterior approach during 1991-2006, all receiving MRI examination and 22 also receiving spinal DSA examination, were analyzed.

Results: Among the 28 cases, 8 lesions were located in the cervical segment of the spinal cord; 12 lesions in the cervical-thoracic segment; 4 lesions in the thoracic segment; 2 in the lumbar segment, and 2 in the thoraco-lumbar segment.

Objective: To clarify and discuss the diagnosis and minimally invasive surgery of spinal cord hemangioblastoma.

Methods: The clinical data of 16 patients with spinal cord hemangioblastoma who were operated on between 1992 and 2001 were analyzed retrospectively with a review of the literature.

Results: Twelve patients were subjected to MRI examination, nine to spinal cord angiography, and six to preoperative embolization.

Objective: To analyze the change of EB virus VCA/IgA and EA/IgA titer during the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and the role in screening for NPC.

Methods: VCA/IgA and EA/IgA were monitored in a period of 12 years by immunoenzymatic titration from the sera of 54 NPC patients after primary serological screening.

Results: VCA/IgA and EA/IgA titer had shown gradual increment 1 - 7 years before NPC was pathologically diagnosed.

Objective: To observe the character of Epstein-Barr(EB) virus serology, fibroscopy appearance and prognosis of asymptomatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).

Methods: Viral capsid antigen's IgA (VCA/IgA) of EB virus and early antigen's IgA(EA/IgA) of EB virus were detected by immunoenzymatic method. The clinical examination was carried out, including indirect mirror examination and fibroscopy of the nasopharynx and multiple biopsies.
