Background: Foreign bodies located at the base of the skull pose a surgical challenge. Here, a customized computer-designed surgical guide bar was designed to facilitate removal of a skull base foreign body.
Methods: Within 24h of the patient's presentation, a guide bar and mounting platform were designed to remove a foreign body located adjacent to the transverse process of the atlas and pressing against the internal carotid artery.

Objective: To observe the proliferation of SW480 cells exposed to different concentrations of CoCl2, and to examine the expression of hypoxiainducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) during hypoxia to explore the chemotherapy resistance effect and role of HIF-1alpha and HO-1.
Methods: Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTF) method was used to detect the proliferation of SW480 cells in the presence of fluorouracil (FU). RT-PCR was applied to examine the expression of HIF-1alpha and HO-1 mRNA in hypoxia.
