BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome has been increasingly
reported as a complication of carotid angioplasty and stent placement. The aim of the …

BACKGROUND: Internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysms form 2% to 9% of all IAs. They
are more frequent in younger patients than other IAs. In this article, we review the practical …

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), originally cloned as a hepatocyte mitogen, has recently been
reported to exhibit neurotrophic activity in addition to being expressed in different parts of …

OBJECTIVE: Anterior choroid artery aneurysms (AChAAs) constitute 2%-5% of all intracranial
aneurysms. They are usually small, thin walled with one or several arteries originating at …

Although cerebral hypoperfusion caused by cerebral occlusive disease leads to cerebral
ischemic events, an effective treatment has not yet been established. Recently, a novel …

Introduction The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of multidetector three-dimensional
computed tomography angiography (3D CTA) for evaluating both the residual …

Background and Aims Cerebral revascularization strategies may become necessary in select
patients who present with challenging cerebral aneurysms. In this study, we present the …

Neuronal protein NP25 is a neuron-specific protein present in highly differentiated neural
cells, but its functional properties have not been well characterized. NP25 shows high amino …

Background and aims: Superficial temporal artery (STA) is the mainstay of donor vessels for
extra-intracranial bypass (EC-IC bypass) in cerebral revascularization. However, the …

Embryonic stem (ES) cells proliferate and maintain their pluripotency for over 1 year in vitro
and may therefore provide a sufficient source for cell therapies. However, most of the …
