Objective To understand the current status of the preferences and opinions on the investigator-initiated trails (IIT) of the neurosurgeons participating in INTERACT3 in China, as well as the design preference for IIT projects, and to provide a basis for the design and organization of multi-center clinical studies in the future. Methods Neurosurgeons with different seniority and professional titles from 89 domestic research institutions participating in the INTERACT3 project were collected from September to October 2023. The questionnaires were collected by questionnaire star. Results A total of 56 valid questionnaires were collected from 29 units. Among the 56 respondents, 52 neurosurgeons (92.86%) were from teaching hospitals and 45 (80.36%) were from grade A tertiary hospitals. 30 neurosurgeons (53.57%) had experience in conducting various clinical studies, and 55 neurosurgeons (98.21%) had experience in participating in various clinical studies. The main purposes of presiding over or participating in clinical research focused on “accumulating relevant experience and preparing for future projects” and “standardizing clinical diagnosis and treatment”, which were 89.29% and 83.93%. Respectively, regarding the way the case report form completing, respondents preferred to use electronic data collection systems (83.93%). Conclusions The purpose of the neurosurgeons interviewed to host or participate in clinical research is mainly to assist clinical and scientific research. Economic reasons have little impact on whether to participate in clinical research. The rationality and ease of operation of the trail design are the keys to attracting respondents to participate in clinical researches, and the level of remuneration has little impact on the decision-making of the respondents. The safety of clinical studies and the difficulty of enrolling subjects are the key factors that hinder respondents’ participation in clinical studies.
To investigate the microsurgical management of cranionasal tumors and the method of the reconstruction of the skull base. Methods From June 2005 to October 2007, 20 patients with cranionasal tumor were treated. There were 10 males and 10 females, aged between 13 and 77 years (median 49 years). The disease course was 2 months to 13 years.The cranionasal tumors, proved by MRI and CT scans, located in the anterior skull base, paranasal sinus, nasal and/or orbit cavity. And their cl inical presentations were l isted as follows: dysosphresia in 14 patients, headache in 11 patients, nasal obstruction in 9 patients, epistaxis in 8 patients, visual disorder in 4 patients, exophthalmos in 4 patients and conscious disturbance in 2 patients. All 20 patients underwent transbasal surgery combined with transnasal surgery, and tumors were resected by one-stage operation. The skull base was reconstructed by surgical technique “Pull Down Sandwich” with pedicle periosteum flap. Results Tumors were resected by one-stage operation, and the anterior skull bases were reconstructed. Pathological examination showed 8 cases of mal ignant tumors and 12 cases of benign tumors. The total surgical excision was complete in 16 patients, and 4 patients with subtotal excision. There was no operative death. Eighteen patients were followed up 3 months to 2 years and 6 months. Transient cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea was found in 2 cases which were cured by lumbar drainage. And recurrence of tumor was observed in 5 patients 3 months to 2 years after operation. Conclusion Microsurgical operation via subfrontal approach assisted bytransnasal endoscopy is an effective method in management of cranionasal tumors, with the advantages of econstruction of the skull base with pedicle periosteum flap or “Pull Down Sandwich” and low compl ication rate.

Driven by advances in intelligent technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as the cornerstone of neurosurgical education. By providing personalized learning experiences and enhancing learning outcomes, AI has enriched the avenues and depth of knowledge acquisition for medical students. The integration of AI not only helps medical students master the basic theories and practical skills of neurosurgery more thoroughly, but also lays a solid foundation for them to provide high-quality and efficient medical services in the future. At the same time, the ability of educators to use intelligent technologies further enhances the interactivity and effectiveness of teaching. In order to further ensure the application of AI in neurosurgery teaching, this article explores the strategic integration of AI in neurosurgical education, emphasizing its critical importance in ensuring that teaching methods evolve with the times.
ObjectiveTo analyze the causes of unrelieved epilepsy thoroughly in children with isolated focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) based on MRI.MethodsRetrospective analysis of MRI and clinical data of 21 children with isolated FCD during July 2014 to January 2018, which confirmed by pathology and unrelieved thoroughly after operation performed, the pathological types and MRI signs were analyzed, as well as the frequency of different MRI signs in FCD of each pathological type. Analyzed the possible factors of surgical failure.ResultsAmong the 21 cases, there were 15 males and 6 females, with an average age of (5.7±0.3) years and an average course of disease of (3.4±0.5) years.MRI signs of this part of the children were mainly manifested by blurred focal gray matter boundaries, abnormal cortical structure changes (thickening and/or thinning), transmantle signs (abnormal cone signals extending from subcortical white matter to the ventricle) and abnormal gray matter signals, which were similar to MRI signs of FCD with satisfactory postoperative epilepsy control. 17 cases (80.9%) appeared epileptic discharge after operation in the EEG monitoring area 2 weeks to 6 months, FCD type I and type Ⅱ accounted for 35.3%, 64.7% respectively. During intraoperative EEG monitoring, no epileptiform discharge was observed in the transmantle sign region in 6 cases, and the region was retained, and only the surrounding abnormal discharge cortex was removed, complete removal of the tansmantle sign and surrounding abnormal discharge area was performed in 2 cases, and different degrees of epileptic epilepsy were observed in both methods.ConclusionMRI signs of isolated FCD with unrelieved epilepsy after operation were nonspecific, there were still epilepsy of varying degrees after all epileptogenic lesions have been removed, the cause may be related to potential epileptic factors.

Neurosurgery navigation system, which is expensive and complicated to operate, has a low penetration rate, and is only found in some large medical institutions. In order to meet the needs of other small and medium-sized medical institutions for neurosurgical navigation systems, the scalp localization system of neurosurgery based on augmented reality (AR) theory was developed. AR technology is used to fuse virtual world images with real images. The system integrates computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the patient's head in real life to achieve the scalp positioning. This article focuses on the key points of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, and AR image layer fusion in medical image visualization. This research shows that the system is suitable for a variety of mobile phones, can achieve two-dimensional (2D) image display, 3D rendering and clinical scalp positioning application, which has a certain significance for the auxiliary neurosurgical head surface positioning.
