The phenomena of the mass effect of hemostatic material in the removed tumor area without the presence of a hematoma that causes or worsens the patient’s neurological status after surgery are difficult to diagnose and, with untimely help, causes irreversible neurological disorders. In world literature, we have found isolated sources describing similar complications. In the article, we present 7 clinical cases recorded from 2005 to 2019 in N. N. Burdenko National Medical Research Center of Neurosurgery and own experience in solving these difficult problems.

AbstractIsolated sphenoethmoid recess (SER) polyps are rare. They usually arise from the sphenoid sinus. We report six patients with SER polyps as the only abnormal clinical finding at initial presentation. All cases were investigated with outpatient biopsy and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Pre-operative histology revealed three cases of inflammatory disease, two cases with inverted papilloma, and one case of an ectopic pituitary adenoma arising from the sphenoid sinus. One of the inflammatory polyps arose directly from the mucosa around the sphenoid ostium. The other five cases involved the sphenoid sinus. Except for the ectopic pituitary adenoma all the polyps were managed by transnasal endoscopic surgery. We emphasize that isolated SER polyps may signify existing sphenoid pathology and a pre-operative biopsy is valuable for planning surgery.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of the present study was to investigate the practical value of a multimaterial and multicolor 3D-printed model in anatomical teaching, surgical training, and preoperative planning of transnasal endoscopic surgery for pituitary adenoma.METHODSMultimodality neuroimaging data were obtained in a 42-year-old healthy male volunteer and a 40-year-old female patient with an invasive nonfunctional pituitary adenoma. Three 3D-printed models were produced: a monomaterial and monocolor model, a monomaterial and multicolor model, and a multimaterial and multicolor model. The effects on anatomical teaching and surgical training for exposing the vidian nerve were assessed by 12 residents, and the training effect was validated on cadavers. The practical values for preoperative planning were evaluated by 6 experienced neurosurgeons. All evaluations were based on 5-point Likert questionnaires.RESULTSThe multimaterial and multicolor model was superior to the monomaterial models in surgical training for exposing the vidian nerve (Fisher test; p < 0.05). In addition, the multimaterial and multicolor model was superior to the monomaterial models in anatomical teaching and preoperative planning (Friedman test; p < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSMultimaterial and multicolor 3D printing technology makes it convenient and efficient to produce a practical model for simulating individualized and complex anatomical structures in the sellar region. Furthermore, the multimaterial model can provide a more realistic manipulative experience for surgical training and facilitate the preoperative planning.

Применение методов и средств цифровой обработки изображений при распознавании типов клеток крови и костного мозга для повышения качества диагностики острых лейкозов является актуальной научно-технической задачей, отвечающей стратегии развития технологий искусственного интеллекта в медицине. В работе предложен подход к мультиклассификации клеток костного мозга при диагностике острых лейкозов и минимальной остаточной болезни. Для проведения экспериментальных исследований сформирована выборка из 3284 изображений клеток, представленных Лабораторией гемопоэза Национального медицинского исследовательского центра онкологии им. Н.Н. Блохина. Предложенный подход к мультиклассификации клеток костного мозга основан на бинарной модели классификации для каждого из исследуемых классов относительно остальных. В рассматриваемой работе бинарная классификация выполняется методом опорных векторов. Метод мультиклассификации был программно реализован с применением интерпретатора Python 3.6.9. Входными данными программы служат файлы формата *.csv с таблицами морфологических, цветовых, текстурных признаков для каждой из клеток используемой выборки. В выборке представлено девять типов клеток костного мозга. Выходными данными программы мультиклассификации являются значения точности классификации на тестовой выборке, которые отражают совпадение прогнозируемого класса клетки с фактическим (верифицированным) классом клетки. “Эксперимент показал следующие результаты: точность мультиклассификации рассматриваемых типов клеток в среднем составила: 87% на тестовом наборе, 88% на обучающем наборе данных. Проведенное исследование является предварительным. В дальнейшем планируется увеличить число классов клеток, объем выборок различных типов клеток и с уточнением результатов мультиклассификации The use of methods and means of digital image processing in the recognition of types of blood cells and bone marrow to improve the quality of diagnosis of acute leukemia is an urgent scientific and technical task that meets the strategy for the development of artificial intelligence technologies in medicine. The paper proposes an approach to the multiclassification of bone marrow cells in the diagnosis of acute leukemia and minimal residual disease. For experimental studies, a sample of 3284 images of cells was formed, submitted by the Hematopoiesis Laboratory of the National Medical Research Center of Oncology named after V.I. N.N. Blokhin. The proposed approach to the multiclassification of bone marrow cells is based on a binary classification model for each of the studied classes relative to the others. In the work under consideration, binary classification is performed by the support vector machine. The multiclassification method was implemented programmatically using the Python 3.6.9 interpreter. The input data of the program are * .csv files with tables of morphological, color, texture features for each of the cells of the sample used. The sample contains nine types of bone marrow cells. The output data of the multiclassification program are the classification accuracy values on the test sample, which reflect the coincidence of the predicted cell class with the actual (verified) cell class. “The experiment showed the following results: the accuracy of multiclassification of the considered types of cells on average was: 87% on the test set, 88% on the training data set. This study is preliminary. In the future, it is planned to increase the number of classes of cells, the volume of samples of various types of cells and with the refinement of the results of multiclassification

Ipilimumab (IPI) provides a ten-year overall survival in almost 20 % of selected patients participated in several phase II-III trials. However, the expanded access program (EAP) looks more like routine practice than like clinical trials& This is why the results of such application could be different. Here we present the long-term follow-up data of single center EAP. Ninety-six patients with disseminated melanoma progressing after at least one lines of drug therapy were included at the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology. Sixty-seven (70 %) patients had stage IV M1c, 35 patients (36 %) had elevated LDH before initiating IPI therapy. All patients received IPI 3 mg / kg IV every 3 weeks for a maximum of 4 cycles. Totally, 320 cycles (mean - 3.3 per patient) were conducted. Grade 3-4 immuno-mediated adverse events (imAE) observed in 18 (19 %) patients. Three patients died of adverse events, possibly associated with ongoing therapy. The median time to progression was 3 (95 % CI, 2.4 to 3.5) mo., the median overall survival was 13 (95 % CI, 8.3 to17.6) mo. Previous immunotherapy with dendritic cell vaccines decreased the risk of death by 48 % (Log-rank p = 0.049). The wild type BRAF status increased three-year overall survival from 29 to 68 % (p = 0.042). Our data confirms long-term safety and efficacy of IPI in patients with pretreated disseminated melanoma in the close to real practice setting.
