Dual binding site acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors have recently emerged as two classes of new anti-Alzheimer agents to positively modify the disease's course. In this work, a new series of 4-N-phenylaminoquinolines was synthesized and evaluated for their abilities to inhibit AChE and BChE. Compound 11b showed significant inhibitory activities on AChE and BChE with IC values of 0.

Background: Cavernous sinus hemangiomas (CaSHs) are rare vascular lesions in the cavernous sinus(CS). Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKS) provides a treatment modality alternative to microsurgery. This study was conducted to describe a new classification of CaSHs based on their magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings and determine the efficacy and safety of GKS in a large series of CaSH patients.

Objective: To assess the 5-year-result of leksell gamma knife (LGK) in controlling hemangioblastomas of the brain (HB) and to analyze the factors related to tumor recurrence or development of new tumors.

Methods: From November 1993 to September 2001, 35 patients, 28 males and 7 females, aged 36 (16 approximately 61), 18 with multiple tumors and 17 with solitary tumor, the number of tumors being 93 in total, were treated by LGK. Twenty-one patients with HBs were associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD).

Objective: To evaluate the role of gamma knife (GK) in the treatment of trigeminal schwannomas.

Methods: From June 1994 to June 2000, 38 patients with trigeminal schwannoma treated with GK radiosurgery were reviewed. GK was the primary treatment modality in 30 cases and followed microsurgery in 8 cases.
