“…Early cranioplasty reduced the duration of surgery, but was not effective in reducing post-cranioplasty complications, even resulting in a higher risk of hydrocephalus [ 4 ]. Salma et al also supported delayed cranioplasty, because more bleeding complications occurred as a result of tissue fragility in patients with massive middle cerebral artery infarctions [ 6 ].…”

Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is commonly performed in patients with intracranial hypertension or brain edema due to traumatic brain injury. Infrequently, neurologic deteriorations accompanied by sunken scalp may occur after DC. We report two patients with traumatic subdural hemorrhage who had neurologic deteriorations accompanied by sunken scalp after DC. Neurologic function improved dramatically in both patients after cranioplasty. Monitoring for neurologic deterioration after craniectomy is advised. For patients showing neurologic deficit with a sunken scalp, early cranioplasty should be considered.

Transplant of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has attracted considerable interest for bone regeneration. However, noninvasive and real-time tracking of location and concentration of the implanted BMSCs remains a big challenge. Herein we designed a novel approach involving the surface modification of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with silica layers and DNA Transfectin 3000 (TS) to improve biocompatibility and to enhance the uptake by BMSCs, hence rendering the ability of tracking BMSCs with dual-energy computer tomography (DECT). Results showed that the endocytosis of AuNPs@SiO-TS by BMSCs was as high as ∼255 pg/cell after one-day incubation and did not obviously decrease after 14 days. Meanwhile, the AuNPs@SiO-TS had no influence on the viability, cell cycle, and capabilities on osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Under a bone-defect rabbit model, the DECT images showed the migration of BMSCs toward a cortical bone defect without variation in volume. This study demonstrated that AuNPs@SiO-TS could be a potential cellular probe for noninvasive and real-time tracking of BMSCs in bone tissue repairs using clinical CT or DECT techniques. It provided a novel and intuitive methodology for observing and investigating the bone regeneration in clinic.
