Study on the Correlation between different Levels of Patients with Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia and Posterior Circulation Blood Perfusion.

Objective: This study investigates the differences and changing trend of posterior circulation blood perfusion between different levels of vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia(VBD) patients. The relationship between the deviation of the basilar artery(BA) in different directions and the location of pontine infarction are also investigated.

Methods: A cohort of 106 patients(74 males and 32 females) who satisfied the diagnostic criteria for VBD were recruited for this study and classified according to the bifurcation height and the deviation position of the BA, as well as the measured blood perfusion value of the pontine, which includes rCBF, rCBV, MTT, and TTP.

High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging (HR-MRI) Imaging Characteristics of Vertebral Artery Dissection with Negative MR Routine Scan and Hypoperfusion in Arterial Spin Labeling.

BACKGROUND Unruptured vertebral artery dissection (VAD) that causes ischemic infarction may require anticoagulant therapy or other treatments. However, anticoagulation therapy is not recommended for patients without ischemic infarction. To date, there has been no research on the imaging characteristics of patients with ischemic hypoperfusion that have a negative routine MRI scan.

KIAA1522 Promotes the Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via the Activation of the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway.

Purpose: was previously identified to play a crucial role in cancer development and progression. However, its functions and underlying mechanisms in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive.

Materials And Methods: To elucidate the role of in HCC, its expression was assessed using The Cancer Genome Atlas and GEPIA databases.
