Abstract
Microrecurrent glioma is a common neurological tumor, and the key to its surgical treatment is to accurately evaluate the size, location and degree of recurrence of the lesion. The purpose of this study was to explore the surgical treatment of microrecurrent glioma based on MR Imaging, and to provide accurate and reliable basis for clinical decision-making. Before surgery, detailed MR Imaging tests were performed for each patient to accurately locate and evaluate the characteristics of the lesions. Multimodal imaging examination were arranged to accurate the pre-operation diagnosis. Neuro-navigation is necessary for the operation design and tumor confirmation. Function monitor and intraoperation MR were prepared when necessary.Mini was defined by the size, location and symptoms. In all 5 cases requiring reoperation, total resection was achieved. No systemic and local complications occurred. No permeant neurological dysfunction remained. The average stay time after the operation is days. All patients survived in the recent follow-up. Reoperation of mini recurrent glioma is a good treatment choice. We made little injury to patients, which wouldn't affect their conditions and next therapies. Through MR Imaging, the diagnosis and location of microrecurrent glioma, as well as the relationship with surrounding tissues and the degree of infiltration, provide important information for surgeons to evaluate the resectable lesion. By combining MR And functional imaging results, the blood supply and functional area of the lesion can be monitored in real time during surgery, thereby reducing surgical risk and maximizing the protection of surrounding healthy tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of routine intraoperative ultrasound (IU) and intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (ICEUS) in the surgical treatment of brain tumors, and to explore the utilization of ICEUS for the removal of the remnants surrounding the resection cavity. METHODS In total, 51 patients who underwent operations from 2012 to 2018 due to different tumors in the brain were included in this study. The clinical data were evaluated retrospectively. IU was performed in all patients, among which 28 patients underwent ICEUS. The effects of IU and ICEUS on tumor resection and recurrence were evaluated. Semiquantitative analysis was performed to compare ICEUS parameters of the brain tumor with those of the surrounding tissue. RESULTS In total, 36 male and 15 female patients were included in this study. The average age was 43 years (range: 14-68 years). The follow-up period was from 7 to 74 months (mean follow-up 32 months). IU was used in all patients, and no lesion was missed. Among them, 28 patients underwent ICEUS. The rate of total removal of the ICEUS group (23/28, 82%) was significantly higher than that of the IU group (11/23, 48%) (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of ICEUS and IU was 18% (5/23), and 22% (5/28), respectively, and the difference did not reach statistical significance (P>0.05). The semiquantitative analysis showed that the intensity and the transit time of microbubbles reaching the lesions were significantly different from the intensity and the transit time of microbubbles reaching the surrounding tissue (P<0.05) and reflected indirectly the volume and the speed of blood perfusion in the lesions was higher than those in the surrounding tissue. CONCLUSION ICEUS is a useful tool in localizing and outlining brain lesions, especially for the resection of the hypervascular lesions in the brain. ICEUS could be more beneficial for identifying the remnants and improving the rate of total removal of these lesions than routine intraoperative ultrasound.

J Neurooncol 2019; 144:519-528. [PMID: 31363908 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-019-03250-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 07/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tumor recurrence patterns after resection of intracranial low-grade gliomas (LGG) generally remain obscured. The objective of the present retrospective study was their multifaceted analysis, evaluation of associated factors, and assessment of impact on prognosis. METHODS Study group comprised 81 consecutive adult patients (46 men and 35 women; median age, 37 years) with recurrent diffuse astrocytomas (DA; 51 cases) and oligodendrogliomas (OD; 30 cases). The median length of follow-up after primary surgery was 6.7 years. RESULTS Early (within 2 years after primary surgery) and non-early (> 2 years after primary surgery) recurrence was noted in 23 (28%) and 58 (72%) cases, respectively. Fast (≤ 6 months) and slow ( > 6 months) radiological progression of relapse was noted in 31 (38%) and 48 (59%) cases, respectively. Tumor recurrence was local and non-local in 71 (88%) and 10 (12%) cases, respectively. Recurrence patterns have differed in OD, IDH1-mutant DA, and IDH wild-type DA. Early onset, fast radiological progression, and non-local site of relapse had statistically significant negative impact on overall survival of patients and were often associated with malignant transformation of the tumor (38 cases). However, in subgroup with extent of resection ≥ 90% (56 cases) no differences in recurrence characteristics were found between 3 molecularly defined groups of LGG. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence patterns after resection of LGG show significant variability, differ in distinct molecularly defined types of tumors, and demonstrate definitive impact on prognosis. Aggressive resection at the time of primary surgery may result in more favorable characteristics of recurrence at the time of its development.

Abstract
We developed a bacterial expression system to produce a recombinant disintegrin, vicrostatin (VCN), whose structure is based on a natural disintegrin isolated from southern copperhead snake venom. Our goal is to develop VCN for potential clinical translation as an anti-cancer agent. VCN is a peptide of 69 amino acids with a single tyrosine residue. We have employed VCN as integrin-targeted radionuclide therapy (brachytherapy) for treatment of glioblastoma (GBM, glioma). GBM is a deadly brain cancer that doesn't discriminate between sexes and knows no age limit. We established that the tyrosine residue in VCN can be radioiodinated with full retention of bioactivity. 131I-VCN was utilized for integrin-targeted radionuclide therapy using mouse models of glioma. The combination of radioiodinated VCN plus temozolomide (a DNA alkylating agent) significantly prolonged survival of glioma-bearing mice. We also obtained similar results using an immunocompetent mouse model and a murine glioma cell line. In summary, as demonstrated in studies reported here we have shown that VCN as targeted radionuclide therapy for GBM has significant translational potential for therapy of this deadly disease.
