    Abstract Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is one of the most fundamental techniques for ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD). We describe the standard surgical strategies, advanced techniques, and controversies concerning revascularization of ischemic stroke. The standard surgical strategies and techniques emphasize how to determine surgical indication, which should be decided for symptomatic internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusive disease with misery perfusion detected by quantitative single photon emission computed tomography. Advanced techniques are available for complex situations such as posterior circulation revascularization, Bonnet bypass for common carotid artery obstruction, and various EC-IC bypasses for ischemia in the MCA and/or anterior cerebral artery territories using inter-grafts such as femoral veins and radial arteries, illustrated by our surgical results and experiences. Controversies include endovascular treatment complementary to EC-IC bypass. Finally, we advocate emergent EC-IC bypass for progressive ischemic CVD, particularly for contraindication or unsuccessful treatment after intravenous tissue plasminogen activator administration and/or endovascular thrombolysis. EC-IC bypass surgery can be reliable for ischemic CVD under strict optimal surgical indications using safe and reliable surgical techniques.

    Abstract Background: Glossopharyngeal neuralgia due to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia is a rare form of neuropathic pain and presents with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    Clinical presentation: A 67-year-old man presented with severe burning pain in the left oral cavity, with no explanatory findings during dental and ENT evaluations. TMJ examination revealed tenderness, and panoramic radiographs showed a non-contributory periapical radiolucency. MRI/MRA revealed abnormally tortuous vertebral arteries compressing the glossopharyngeal nerves and the brainstem. Topical lidocaine reduced pain, confirming glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN). Carbamazepine was initially ineffective, but at 200 mg pain reduced from 90 to 20 on the visual analog scale. The patient requested and underwent microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery, which eliminated his pain.
    Conclusion: When the vertebral artery compresses the glossopharyngeal nerve, the pain is more intense, attributed to its thicker vascular structure. Local anesthetic testing aids in identifying GPN. Dentists must be skilled in diagnostics and possess anatomical knowledge for accurate evaluation and referral of throat and ear pain.

    Abstract Decompressive craniectomy(DC)for intracranial hypertension after traumatic brain injury(TBI)can be divided into two treatment strategies: primary DC and secondary DC. DC has an important intracranial pressure-lowering effect; however, the standard treatment has not been established because the treatment policy with respect to surgical indication, optimal timing, and surgical method are often determined according to the empirical rules of each institution. In addition, the effects of DC on clinical outcomes remain unknown. Recently, the results of a large multicenter randomized controlled trial(RCT)about the effects of secondary DC for severe head trauma have been published. The study showed that secondary DC improved the mortality rate but had no effect on functional prognosis. Another RCT about the effects of primary DC for TBI is ongoing and the results are awaited. We herein describe the indications, surgical methods, and issues of DC for TBI based on the results of these clinical trials with a high level of evidence.

    Abstract This passage discusses a case of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) with continuous pain and hemifacial spasm caused by vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia, a rare condition. The patient experienced ongoing orofacial pain, which initially led to dental treatments. After unsuccessful medication (carbamazepine), the patient underwent microvascular decompression to alleviate nerve compression by the elongated vertebral artery. This report highlights the challenge of treating such cases due to the unique nature of neurovascular compression. Additionally, it introduces the concept of TN with concomitant continuous pain and emphasizes the need for comprehensive diagnosis, as vertebrobasilar artery elongation is associated with various symptoms, including TN and hemifacial spasms.

    Abstract In this paper, we propose methods for discovering semantic differences in words appearing in two corpora based on the norms of contextualized word vectors. The key idea is that the coverage of meanings is reflected in the norm of its mean word vector. The proposed methods do not require the assumptions concerning words and corpora for comparison that the previous methods do. All they require are to compute the mean vector of contextualized word vectors and its norm for each word type. Nevertheless, they are (i) robust for the skew in corpus size; (ii) capable of detecting semantic differences in infrequent words; and (iii) effective in pinpointing word instances that have a meaning missing in one of the two corpora for comparison. We show these advantages for native and non-native English corpora and also for historical corpora.

    Abstract Initial three-dimensional computed tomography and cerebral angiography fail to identify any aneurysm in 20% of cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Basilar artery (BA) perforator aneurysms are rare, and approximately 30%-60% were not identified by initial angiography. A 71-year-old male was transferred with a sudden onset of headache and loss of consciousness. Computed tomography demonstrated subarachnoid hemorrhage, but no ruptured aneurysm was detected. Repeat preoperative cerebral angiography indicated a bifurcation aneurysm of the circumflex branch of the superior cerebellar artery perforator, but microsurgical observation identified the BA perforator aneurysm. If the location of the BA perforator aneurysm cannot be clearly identified, as in this case, repeat angiography should be considered, and the treatment strategy should be decided based on a detailed consideration of the site of the aneurysm.

    Abstract C-mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation whereby a single mannose is added to the first tryptophan in the consensus sequence Trp-Xaa-Xaa-Trp/Cys (in which Xaa represents any amino acid). Its consensus sequence is mainly found in proteins containing a thrombospondin type-1 repeat (TSR1) domain and in type I cytokine receptors. In these proteins, C-mannosylation affects protein secretion, intracellular localization, and protein stability; however, the role of C-mannosylation in proteins that are not type I cytokine receptors and/or do not contain a TSR1 domain is less well explored. In this study, we focused on human vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1 homolog (VMO1). VMO1, which possesses two putative C-mannosylation sites, is a 21-kDa secreted protein that does not contain a TSR1 domain and is not a type I cytokine receptor. Mass spectrometry analyses revealed that VMO1 is C-mannosylated at Trp

    Abstract C‐mannosylation is a rare type of protein glycosylation whereby a single mannose is added to the first tryptophan in the consensus sequence Trp‐Xaa‐Xaa‐Trp/Cys (in which Xaa represents any amino acid). Its consensus sequence is mainly found in proteins containing a thrombospondin type‐1 repeat (TSR1) domain and in type I cytokine receptors. In these proteins, C‐mannosylation affects protein secretion, intracellular localization, and protein stability; however, the role of C‐mannosylation in proteins that are not type I cytokine receptors and/or do not contain a TSR1 domain is less well explored. In this study, we focused on human vitelline membrane outer layer protein 1 homolog (VMO1). VMO1, which possesses two putative C‐mannosylation sites, is a 21‐kDa secreted protein that does not contain a TSR1 domain and is not a type I cytokine receptor. Mass spectrometry analyses revealed that VMO1 is C‐mannosylated at Trp¹⁰⁵ but not at Trp⁴⁴. Although C‐mannosylation does not affect the extracellular secretion of VMO1, it destabilizes the intracellular VMO1. In addition, a structural comparison between VMO1 and C‐mannosylated VMO1 showed that the modification of the mannose changes the conformation of three loops in VMO1. Taken together, our results demonstrate the first example of C‐mannosylation for protein destabilization of VMO1.
