    Abstract Fenestration is a rare anatomical variation in the posterior cerebral artery. To the best of our knowledge, there are few reports of fenestrations at the posterior cerebral artery P1-P2 junction. Herein, we report a case of fenestration of the posterior cerebral artery P1-P2 junction diagnosed by 3-T magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography. A 75-year-old woman visited our hospital because of headaches. Magnetic resonance imaging incidentally showed fenestration around the P1-P2 segment of the right posterior cerebral artery. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed a small fenestration at the right posterior cerebral artery P1-P2 junction. The vessel diameter of both limbs forming the fenestration was nearly equal. Careful imaging assessment is important to identify fenestration of the posterior cerebral artery P1-P2 junction. Both magnetic resonance angiography and magnetic resonance imaging were useful for diagnosis in this case.

    Abstract Recent studies revealed the biological significance of dynamic multicomponent assemblies of biomolecules inside living cells. Protein and nucleic acid assemblies are biomolecular condensates or non-membrane-bound organelles that have attracted increasing attention. Synthetic tools that manipulate the dynamic assembly/disassembly process of the structures are useful in elucidating both biophysical mechanisms of their assembly/disassembly and physiological roles of the condensates. In this report, general protocols to form and observe synthetic polymer-based condensates in living cells are described using the tool iPOLYMER. Taking advantage of the modular design of the tool, both chemical and light stimuli can induce formation of synthetic condensates inside living cells, which are observed by laser-scanning confocal microscopy. The experimental design described herein should help those who conduct experiments on synthetic manipulation of biomolecular condensates using iPOLYMER and other tools for synthetic manipulation of condensates. Technical notes for using iPOLYMER, including basic protocols of chemical- or light-inducible dimerization techniques (CID/LID), choice of proper control experiments, and advantages/disadvantages are also presented.

    Abstract Introduction: Cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing positive symptoms, improving depression, enhancing coping skills and increasing awareness of illness. However, compared with cognitive behavioural therapy for depression and anxiety, the spread of CBTp in clinical practice is minimal. The present study designed a randomised controlled trial (RCT) research protocol to evaluate whether real-time remote video-conference CBTp (vCBTp) could facilitate access to psychosocial interventions and effectively improve symptoms compared with usual care (UC) for patients with schizophrenia.
    Methods and analysis: This exploratory RCT will consist of two parallel groups (vCBTp+UC and UC alone) of 12 participants (n=24) diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or paranoid disorder, who remain symptomatic following pharmacotherapy. Seven 50-min weekly vCBTp interventions will be administered to test efficacy. The primary outcome will be the positive and negative syndrome scale score at week 8. The secondary outcome will be the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale to assess insight, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to assess depression, the Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7 to assess anxiety, the 5-level EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire to assess quality of life and the Impact of Event Scale-Revised to assess subjective distress about a specific stressful life event. We will take all measurements at 0 weeks (baseline) and at 8 weeks (post-intervention), and apply intention-to-treat analysis.
    Ethics and dissemination: We will conduct this study in the outpatient department of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center at Chiba University Hospital. Further, all participants will be informed of the study and will be asked to sign consent forms. We will report according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials.

    Abstract Background: Thoracic spinal cord injury after posterior cranial fossa surgery in younger patients is a rare complication. There have been reports of this complication in tumor and spine fields but not in vascular surgery.
    Observations: A 22-year-old-man experienced cerebellar arteriovenous malformation rupture, and the malformation was surgically removed with the man in the Concorde position. After surgery, the man had severe paraplegia, and a thoracic spinal cord injury was diagnosed.
    Lessons: In younger patients, cervical hyperflexion in the Concorde position can cause thoracic spinal cord injury even in surgery for cerebrovascular disease.

    Abstract Purpose: A right aortic arch (RAA) is a rare vascular anomaly that often coexists with an aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA). Due to the rarity of RAA, the development of an ALSA is not well understood.
    Method: We describe a case in which a 58-year-old man who was scheduled to undergo posterior decompression and fusion surgery for thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament from Th1 to Th3 was found to have a RAA and an ALSA.
    Results: Preoperative computed tomography angiography demonstrated a RAA and an ALSA. The ALSA was extremely tortuous and ran in the paraspinal muscles behind the thoracic laminae, which meant it was in the surgical field. The ALSA arose from the descending aorta and bifurcated into the left segmental arteries of Th1 and Th2, and also bifurcated into the left vertebral artery, which had a normal subsequent course. The dysplastic ALSA was considered to have developed from the thoracic intersegmental artery. Based on preoperative examination findings, we performed spinal surgery without vessel injury.
    Conclusion: We report a rare case of a dysplastic ALSA that developed from the thoracic intersegmental artery with a RAA. The knowledge of this anomaly provides safety in spinal surgery of the cervicothoracic junction.

    Abstract Purpose: Replaced posterior cerebral artery (PCA), defined as a hyperplastic anterior choroidal artery (AChA) supplying all branches of the PCA, is an extremely rare anatomical variation. To the best of our knowledge, there are only a few reports of replaced PCA.
    Methods: Herein, we report a case of replaced PCA diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography.
    Results: A 76-year-old woman visited a neurosurgical clinic because of headache and vertigo. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography incidentally revealed a left internal carotid artery aneurysm. She was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment of the unruptured intracranial aneurysm. Left internal carotid angiography revealed a paraclinoid aneurysm. We also incidentally found an anomalous hyperplastic AChA distal to the aneurysm. This hyperplastic AChA supplied not only the AChA territory but also the entire PCA territory. No vessels that could be a normal AChA or posterior communicating artery were identified along the left internal carotid artery. Vertebral angiography demonstrated that the left PCA was not visualized. With these findings, we diagnosed anomalous hyperplastic AChoA in this case as replaced PCA.
    Conclusion: Careful imaging assessment is important to identify replaced PCA. Both direct findings of a hyperplastic AChA course and perfusion territory and indirect findings of the absence of the original PCA are useful in the diagnosis of replaced PCA.
