Methods: The clinical features and radiological aspects in 145 cases ofmeningiomas undergoing operation during 1993-1997 were retrospectively studied. The data of only 83cases of all 145 cases were available. The factors were evaluated with univariate and multivariateanalysis. Results: With univariate analysis, 7 factors showed highly significance to recurrence ofmeningiomas: tumor size, tumor location, tumor shape, edema, extent of resection, pathologicalgrade, CT enhancement. With multivariate analysis, 4 factors showed significant danger to recurrenceof meningiomas: pathological grade, extent of resection, tumor shape and CT enhancement.Conclusion: The main factors that affect the recurrence of meningioma patients are pathologicalgrade, extent of resection, tumor shape and CT enhancement.展开更多

This study was designed to explore the expression and role which FOXG1 plays in human glioma. Methods: We detected the expression of FOXG1 by immunohistochemistry in glioma tissue samples. Following the down-regulation of FOXG1 in glioma cell lines by a specific short hairpin RNA, the function of FOXG1 in proliferation and apoptosis was assessed. Results: Glioma tissues exhibited notably higher expression of FOXG1 compared with control brain tissues and was positively corre- lated with histological malignancy. The down-regulation of FOXG1 in glioma cells led to a cell apoptosis in vitro. Cenclusion: The overexpression of FOXG1 is a novel glioma malignancy marker, and FOXG1 may be used as a new target in therapeutic strategies for human glioma.展开更多

Some authors have reported that meningioma is more prevalent among adult males, but there is no gender prevalence. The accepted origin of meningiomas is from the arachnoid ceils lining the meninges, or the choroid plexuses. Since Beckwith and Palmer introduced the term 'rhabdoid tumor' in 1978 in reference to a subgroup of childhood malignant renal tumors, many tumors with a rhabdoid morphology have been reported in various sites, including the central nervous system.
