Objective To investigate the value of bispectral index and intracranial pressure monitoring in evaluation of postoperative consciousness and short-term prognosis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods A simple random sampling method was used in 30 cases of brain trauma coma patients in the People's Hospital of Northern Jiangsu Province from January 2014 to December 2014.Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were evaluated at intervals of 8 hours,GCS were recorded for 3 days after surgery,The bispectral index value and intracranial pressure value are recorded at the same time.According to GCS,the patients were divided into two groups,group A (3≤GCS≤5) and group B(5 ＜ GCS≤8).The 21-days natural survival rate was counted.The Kaplan-Meier Method and Log-rank test were used to analyze the relationship between Bispectral index and intracranial pressure.Results The bispectral index value of group A was 45.3 ± 3.8,the intracranial pressure value of group A was (18.6 ± 2.8) mmHg,The bispectral index value of group B was 32.2 ± 8.2,the intracranial pressure value of group B was (33.4 ±4.6) mmHg.The 21-days survival rate of group A was 55％,and 21-days survival rate of group B was 30％.The Spearman rank correlation method was used to analyze the values.Bispectral index value was positively correlated with coma degree after operation in patients with severe traumatic brain injury,and was negatively correlated with intracranial pressure value (r =0.532,P ＜ 0.05;r =0.521,P ＜ 0.05).The more severer the patient's craniocerebral injury.,the more severer the condition,the higher the intracranial pressure,the lower the bispectral index value,the worse the prognosis is.Conclusion Combined monitoring of bispectral index and intracranial pressure has high application value in evaluating the coma degree and prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral injury after operation.

Objective To explore the differences of curative effect and short-term prognosis to severe traumatic brain injury patients with three different early postoperative nutritional supports.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 60 severe traumatic brain injury patients received in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from July 2014 to July 2016.A total of 60 cases were randomly divided into the early enteral nutrition support therapy group,the early parenteral nutrition group,and the early compound nutrition group.The clinical indicators such as basic clinical characteristics before treatment,the nutrition data in two weeks,the length of stay in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit,complications and GCS scores between the three groups were observed and analyzed.Results The indicators of early compound nutrition group were fasting blood-glucose (5.74 ± 0.64) mmol/L,prealbumin(203.80 ± 10.45) mg/L,total serum protein(61.99 ± 1.34) g/L,blood hemoglobin (114.53 ± 2.69) g/L,C-reactive protein(0.37 ± 0.06) mg/dl.The length of stay in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit was (11.6 ± 0.42) days in the compound nutrition group while those in the early enteral nutrition group was (13.20 ±0.42) days and those in the early parenteral nutrition group was(14.65 ± 0.42) days.The postoperative complications of the compound nutrition group were significantly lower than other two groups.The GCS scores of early compound nutrition group was(11.40 ± 1.60),which was the best in three groups.The differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Early compound nutrition support has an exact curative effect on postoperative severe traumatic brain injury patients in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit.It can obviously improve the nutrition status of patients with less complications,shorter length of stay in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit,higher safety and lower degree of coma,worth clinical promotion.

Objective To study the impact of super early tracheotomy in the prognosis of patients with primary massive cerebral hemorrhage (＞50 mL).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 100 patients with primary massive cerebral hemorrhage who underwent the comprehensive treatment of craniotomy operation plus tracheotomy from January 2010 to December 2013.The patients underwent tracheotomy before brain operation were classified as super early tracheotomy (SET) group,and the patients accepted tracheotomy within 3 days or 4-7 days after brain operation were classified,respectively,as early tracheotomy (ET) group or late tracheotomy (LT) group.Clinical variables such as age,gender,Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores,postoperative re-bleeding rate,tracheal cannula indwelling time,hospitalization time,improvement rate and mortality were analyzed contrastively among the 3 groups.Results There was no statistical difference in primary clinical characteristics among 3 groups (P＞0.05).The postoperative re-bleeding rate of ET group (14.28％) was higher than one of SET group (5.55％) and LT group (10.34％).The tracheal cannula indwelling mean time of SET group was significantly shorter than one of ET group and LT group (P＜0.05).Significant differences existed among the 3 groups in the mean hospitalization time (SET group＜ET group＜LT group,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the improvement rate between SET group and ET group,however,the improvement rate of LT group was significantly lower than one of the other two groups (P＜0.05).No statistical difference in the mortality existed among 3 groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion It is effective and feasible to perform SET to reduce the postoperative re-bleeding rate,shorten the hospitalization time,improve the prognosis of the patients with primary massive cerebral hemorrhage.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study further the most important and frequent genetic alterations of p53 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in astrocytic gliomas.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>(1) EGFR expression was examined in samples collected from 37 astrocytic gliomas and 6 normal brain tissue using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining. (2) p53 gene mutation and accumulation were detected simultaneously in the same specimens using PCR-SSCP, DNA sequencing and immunohistochemical staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The frequency of p53 mutation in diffuse astrocytomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, primary glioblastomas and secondary glioblastomas was 1/10, 4/19 (21.1%), 4/6 and 2/2, respectively and the frequency of EGFR overexpression was 5/10, 10/19 (52.6%), 5/6 and 2/2, respectively. Both p53 accumulation and EGFR overexpression increased accompanied by a successive increase of degree of the glioma malignancy.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>EGFR overexpression is not infrequently seen, however, p53 mutation is rarely seen in the low grade gliomas. Both p53 gene mutation and EGFR overexpression are often associated with primary and secondary glioblastoma. Consequently, EGFR overexpression and p53 gene mutation are not mutually exclusive in astrocytic gliomagenesis but synergistically to promote the glioma progression.</p>
