Background And Purpose: The acute vertebrobasilar occlusion associated with the poor prognosis, particularly tandem occlusion. However, few data on the efficacy of the endovascular therapy was indicated in this occlusion. We investigated whether the additional rescue extracranial vertebral stenting improved clinical outcome by modified Rankin scale (mRS) score within 3 months after the procedure.
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with acute posterior tandem occlusion who were treated with rescue extracranial vertebral stenting between December 2020 and January 2024 at our hospital. Clinical, neuroimaging, procedural, and complication data were collected. Primary outcomes included the rate of good outcomes (mRS ≤ 2) at 3-month follow-up.
Results: Nine patients who underwent rescue extracranial vertebral stenting in posterior circulation tandem occlusions were enrolled in the study. All patients were achieved the successful recanalization (mTICI ≥ 2b). Of Dotter technique in the "distal-to-proximal" approach, Diagnostic-Dotter made up 66.7%. Five patients (55.6%) with good outcome (mRS ≤ 2) at 3 months, and 1 patient (11.1%) underwent suboccipital decompressive craniectomy due to the malignant cerebellar infarction.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that despite the small series with posterior tandem occlusions, the rescue extracranial vertebral stenting could be an important alternative treatment followed by mechanical thrombectomy.

Background: Neuroblastoma (NB), the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, is featured by high malignancy and poor prognosis. Flavokawain A (FKA), a novel chalcone isolated from the roots of the kava plant, has been identified to exert the tumor-inhibiting properties in various cancers. The present study was formulated to tell about the anticarcinogenic effects of FKA against NB and to thoroughly elucidate the intrinsic molecular mechanisms.

Neuroblastoma (NB), the most common extracranial solid tumor in pediatric patients, manifests with considerable variability across multiple primary sites. Despite this, the extent of genetic heterogeneity within these tumor foci and the identification of consistent oncogenic drivers remains largely unexplored. Of particular interest, genetic mutations in PHOX2B have been linked to familial cases of NB, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully delineated.

Background And Purpose: In the context of the widespread availability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and aggressive salvage irradiation techniques, there has been controversy surrounding the use of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. This study aimed to explore whether regular brain MRI plus salvage brain irradiation (SBI) is not inferior to PCI in patients with limited-stage SCLC (LS-SCLC).
Methods: This real-world multicenter study, which was conducted between January 2014 and September 2020 at three general hospitals, involved patients with LS-SCLC who had a good response to initial chemoradiotherapy and no brain metastasis confirmed by MRI.

Objective: Recurrent stroke after revascularization surgeries predicts poor outcome in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). Early identification of patients with stroke risk paves the way for rescue intervention. This study aimed to investigate the role of ultrasound in identifying patients at risk of post-operative ischemic events (PIEs).
