Development and Validation of a Supplementary Grading Scale for Outcomes of Brainstem Cavernous Malformations.
[BACKGROUND] Surgical risk assessment is intriguing for clinical decision-making of brainstem cavernous malformation (BSCM) treatment. While the BSCM grading scale, encompassing size, developmental venous anomaly, crossing axial midpoint, a…

Management of Meige syndrome with bilateral trigeminal and facial nerves combing.
[OBJECTIVE] Meige syndrome (MS) is an adult-onset segmental dystonia for which no satisfactory remedy currently exists. Our team developed a novel surgical approach called bilateral trigeminal/facial nerve combing (BTFC). This study aimed t…

Novel V-shaped kiss flap harvest technique for the forearm free flap in soft tissue reconstruction.
[INTRODUCTION] Radial forearm flap (RFF) is widely used in oral reconstruction. However, the donor-site defect remains the main limit. In this paper, V-shaped kiss RFF (VRFF) is described as a novel technique to improve aesthetics and funct…

Stimulation of endothelial progenitor cells by microRNA-31a-5p to induce endothelialization in an aneurysm neck after coil embolization by modulating the Axin1-mediated β-catenin/vascular endothelial growth factor pathway.
[OBJECTIVE] Emerging evidence shows that frequent recurrence of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) after endovascular coiling is attributable to the lack of endothelialization across the aneurysm neck. Recently, much attention has been given to t…
