Changes in decision-making function in patients with subacute mild traumatic brain injury.

Although awareness regarding patients with mild traumatic brain injury has increased, they have not received sufficient attention in clinics; hence, many patients still experience only partial recovery. Deficits in decision-making function are frequently experienced by these patients. Accurate identification of impairment in the early stages after brain injury is particularly crucial for timely intervention and the prevention of long-term cognitive consequences. Therefore, we investigated the changes in decision-making ability under tasks of ambiguity and risk in patients with mild traumatic brain injury with a rule-based neuropsychological paradigm. In this study, patients (n = 39) and matched healthy controls (n = 38) completed general neuropsychological background tests and decision-making tasks (Iowa Gambling Task and Game of Dice Task). We found that patients had extensive cognitive impairment in general attention, memory and information processing speed in the subacute phase, and confirmed that patients had different degrees of impairment in decision-making abilities under ambiguity and risk. Furthermore, the decline of memory and executive function may be related to decision-making dysfunction.

Nicotine restores olfactory function by activation of prok2R/Akt/FoxO3a axis in Parkinson's disease.

BACKGROUND: Olfactory dysfunction occurs frequently in Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we aimed to explore the potential biomarkers and underlying molecular pathways of nicotine for the treatment of olfactory dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mice. METHODS: MPTP was introduced into C57BL/6 male mice to generate a PD model. Regarding in vivo experiments, we performed behavioral tests to estimate the protective effects of nicotine in MPTP-induced PD mice. RNA sequencing and traditional molecular methods were used to identify molecules, pathways, and biological processes in the olfactory bulb of PD mouse models. Then, in vitro experiments were conducted to evaluate whether nicotine can activate the prok2R/Akt/FoxO3a signaling pathway in both HEK293T cell lines and primary olfactory neurons treated with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+). Next, prok2R overexpression (prok2R+) and knockdown (prok2R-) were introduced with lentivirus, and the Akt/FoxO3a signaling pathway was further explored. Finally, the damaging effects of MPP+ were evaluated in prok2R overexpression (prok2R+) HEK293T cell lines. RESULTS: Nicotine intervention significantly alleviated olfactory and motor dysfunctions in mice with PD. The prok2R/Akt/FoxO3a signaling pathway was activated after nicotine treatment. Consequently, apoptosis of olfactory sensory neurons was significantly reduced. Furthermore, prok2R+ and prok2R- HEK293T cell lines exhibited upregulation and downregulation of the Akt/FoxO3a signaling pathway, respectively. Additionally, prok2R+ HEK293T cells were resistant to MPP+-induced apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of nicotine in improving hyposmia in PD mice. These improvements were correlated with reduced apoptosis of olfactory sensory neurons via activated prok2R/Akt/FoxO3a axis. These results explained the potential protective functions of nicotine in PD patients.

Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus for a patient with drug resistant juvenile myoclonic epilepsy: 1 year follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Drug-resistant juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (DR-JME) remains a significant challenge in neurology. Traditional management strategies often fail to achieve satisfactory control, necessitating innovative treatments. OBJECTIVE: This case report aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) in a patient with DR-JME. METHODS: We describe the treatment of a patient with DR-JME using STN-DBS. The patient underwent implantation and received high-frequency stimulation (HFS) at the STN. RESULTS: One year post-implantation, the patient demonstrated a substantial reduction in motor seizure frequency by 87.5%, with improvements in quality of life and seizure severity by 52.0% and 46.7%, respectively. No adverse events were reported during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: This case represents the first report of favorable outcomes with STN-DBS in a patient with DR-JME, suggesting that long-term HFS of the STN may be a promising treatment option for patients suffering from this condition.

Strategies and outcomes of endovascular treatment of posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysms: a single center experience.

To explore safe and reliable strategies and outcomes of endovascular procedures in the treatment of posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms. Retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the cases of PICA aneurysms that undergone endovascular therapy from July 2017 through January 2022 in our neurosurgical center, as well as outcomes of long-term follow-up. Total 24 cases were enrolled. Majority of the PICA aneurysms (87.5%, 21/24) presented initially with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and only 3 cases were not ruptured when they were clinically diagnosed as PICA aneurysms. The patients were endovascularly given either aneurysm occlusion with selective coils (12 cases), embolization of aneurysms and parent arteries (7 cases: 3 cases with coils and 4 cases with Onyx liquid embolic agent), or stent-assisted coiling of the aneurysms (5 cases). One patient, who had comorbidity of intracranial hemorrhage and severe cerebral vasospasm, declined further post-surgery therapy, and discharged from the hospital with anticipation of poor outcome. The rest 23 patients were followed up for 3-24 months with a recurrence rate of 17.4% (4/23). Endovascular procedure of embolizing PICA aneurysms with selective coils or stent-assisted coils is feasible, safe, and reliable. Simplified embolization of the aneurysms or occlusion of the parent artery is recommended as the first choice for the ruptured and bleeding PICA aneurysms.

Research progress on the association between trimethylamine/trimethylamine-N-oxide and neurological disorders.

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is a common intestinal metabolite. The Choline in the nutrient forms TMA under the action of the gut microbiota, which passes through the liver and eventually forms TMAO. Initial studies of TMAO focused on cardiovascular disease, but as research progressed, TAMO's effects were found to be multisystem and closely related to the development of neurological diseases. Intestinal tract is the organ with the largest concentration of bacteria in human body, and the composition and metabolism of gut microbiota affect human health. As a two-way communication axis connecting the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract, the brain-gut axis provides the structural basis for TMAO to play its role. This article will review the correlation between TMA/TMAO and neurological diseases in order to find new directions and new targets for the treatment of neurological diseases.

The Application of Pneumatic Arm in Neuroendoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Adenoma Resection.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the application experience of the pneumatic arm in transnasal sphenoidal pituitary adenoma resection under neuroendoscope. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 52 patients with pituitary adenoma who underwent endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery with pneumatic arm fixation in the Neurosurgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from July 2021 to March 2024. Among them, there were 5 cases of pituitary microadenoma, 35 cases of macroadenoma, and 12 cases of giant adenoma. Head CT and a full set of hormones were re-examined within 24 hours after surgery to evaluate the surgical effect. Follow-up was conducted by the outpatient department after surgery to assess the clinical symptoms, hormone level, and imaging of all patients. RESULTS: Among 52 patients, gross total resection was achieved in 48 cases (92.3%), subtotal resection in 3 cases (5.8%), and partial resection in 1 case (1.9%). Preoperatively, 43 patients had diminished vision, with 40 showing improvement postoperatively, 1 worsening, and 2 having no significant improvement. Thirty-eight patients had headaches preoperatively, and all showed varying degrees of improvement postoperatively. Routine hormone examination within 24 hours after surgery showed that all 20 prolactinoma patients had restored normal hormone levels, 10 of 12 growth hormone-secreting adenoma patients normalized, and 4 of 6 cases of adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting adenoma immediately relieved after surgery. Postoperative complications included intracranial hematoma in 1 case, cerebrospinal fluid leakage in 2 cases, transient diabetes insipidus in 6 cases, intracranial infection in 1 case, and no death cases. The median follow-up time of 52 patients was 18.6 months (range: 1-32 mo). During the follow-up period, the initial clinical symptoms of all patients improved to varying degrees, and they were able to work and live normally. At the last follow-up, 1 patient had recurrent tumor and 1 patient had progression. CONCLUSION: Transnasal sphenoidal resection of pituitary adenoma using a pneumatic arm-fixed neuroendoscope allows the operator to perform the surgery with both hands, resulting in satisfactory overall tumor resection and fewer surgical complications. This technique has good clinical value for promotion.

Crosstalk between microglia and neural stem cells influences the relapse of glioblastoma in GBM immunological microenvironment.

Interactions between immunocytes and Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) in glioblastoma multiforme still remains unclear. Here, microglial cells and NSCs in peri-tumoral tissue were analyzed via single-cell whole-transcriptome sequencing. Results showed that two clusters of putative NSCs (the EGFR+BCAN+ cell cluster, and the FABPT+H19+ cell cluster) exhibited immune-related functions. Two clusters of putative microglia (the XIST+PDK4+ and APOC1+CCL3+ cell clusters) exhibited the function of glial cell activation. The results of ligand receptor network analysis disclosed significant interactions between the APOC1+CCL3+ microglia and the NSCs. Correlation analysis on the overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) with 102 potential molecular targets in the TCGA database showed that a much larger number of molecules were correlated with RFS than with OS (34.31% vs. 8.82%), nine of them were validated in clinical specimens. In conclusion, crosstalk between APOC1+CCL3+ microglia and multiple molecule-labeled NSCs distal to the tumor core play certain roles on the recurrence of GBM.

Smart Nanosystems for Overcoming Multiple Biological Barriers in Cancer Nanomedicines Transport: Design Principles, Progress, and Challenges.

The development of smart nanosystems, which could overcome diverse biological barriers of nanomedicine transport, has received intense scientific interest in improving the therapeutic efficacies of traditional nanomedicines. However, the reported nanosystems generally hold disparate structures and functions, and the knowledge of involved biological barriers is usually scattered. There is an imperative need for a summary of biological barriers and how these smart nanosystems conquer biological barriers, to guide the rational design of the new-generation nanomedicines. This review starts from the discussion of major biological barriers existing in nanomedicine transport, including blood circulation, tumoral accumulation and penetration, cellular uptake, drug release, and response. Design principles and recent progress of smart nanosystems in overcoming the biological barriers are overviewed. The designated physicochemical properties of nanosystems can dictate their functions in biological environments, such as protein absorption inhibition, tumor accumulation, penetration, cellular internalization, endosomal escape, and controlled release, as well as modulation of tumor cells and their resident tumor microenvironment. The challenges facing smart nanosystems on the road heading to clinical approval are discussed, followed by the proposals that could further advance the nanomedicine field. It is expected that this review will provide guidelines for the rational design of the new-generation nanomedicines for clinical use.

Building Negative-Thermal-Expansion Protective Layers on the Grain Boundary of Ni-rich Cathodes Enables Safe and Durable High Voltage Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials demonstrate high energy densities for Li-ion batteries, but the electrochemically driven thermal runaway and mechanical degradation remain their long-standing challenges in practical applications. Herein, it presents a novel ZrV2 O7  (ZVO) coating with negative thermal expansion properties along the secondary particles and primary particle grain boundaries (GBs), to simultaneously enhance the structural and thermal stability of LiNi0.8 Co0.1 Mn0.1 O2 (NCM811). It unveils that, such an architecture can significantly enhance the electronic conductivity, suppress the microcracks of GBs, alleviate the layered to spinel/rock-salt phase transformation, and meanwhile relieve the lattice oxygen loss by increasing the oxygen vacancy formation energy increased (1.43 vs 1.90 eV). Consequently, the ZVO-coated NCM811 material demonstrates a remarkable cyclability with 86.5% capacity retention after 100 cycles, and an outstanding rate performance of 30 C under a high-voltage of 4.6 V, outperforming the state-of-the-art literature. More importantly, the Li+ transportation can be readily blocked at 120 °C by the negative-thermal-expansion ZVO coating, thus avoiding the high-temperature thermal runaway.

Evidence for an intra-tumoral microbiome in pituitary neuroendocrine tumors with different clinical phenotypes.

PURPOSE: Bacteria have been observed in the tumor environment for decades and have been demonstrated to play important roles in the pathogenesis and development of several different tumors. So far there is a clear lack of specific studies relating to the presence of bacteria in pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs). METHODS: In this study, we performed five region-based amplification and bacterial 16 S rRNA sequencing to identify the microbiome of PitNET tissues across four clinical phenotypes. Multiple filter procedures were performed to inhibit the risk of contamination with bacteria and bacterial DNA. Histological analysis was also conducted to validate the localization of bacteria in the intra-tumoral region. RESULTS: We identified common and diverse bacterial types across the four clinical phenotypes of PitNET. We also predicted the potential functions of these bacteria in tumor phenotypes and found that these functions were reported in certain previous mechanistic studies. Our data indicate that the pathogenesis and development of tumors may correlate with the behavior of intra-tumoral bacteria. Histological results, including lipopolysaccharide (LPS) staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for bacterial 16 S rRNA clearly demonstrated the localization of bacteria in the intra-tumoral region. Staining for Iba-1 suggested that the proportion of microglia was more abundant in FISH-positive regions than in FISH-negative regions. Furthermore, in FISH-positive regions, the microglia exhibited a longitudinally branched morphology that was different to the compact morphology observed in FISH-negative regions. CONCLUSION: In summary, we provide an evidence for the existence of intra-tumoral bacteria in PitNET.

CO2 capture by Li2CaSiO4 and enhancement with alkali carbonates.

Alkali and alkali earth oxides show good CO2 capture performance for carbonation, while their regeneration occurs at high temperatures, leading to a high energy penalty. When alkali oxides and alkali earth oxides combine with SiO2 to form oxysalts, the regeneration temperatures can be reduced, and the CO2 adsorption capacity is maintained. In this study, the reaction between CO2 and Li2CaSiO4, composed of stoichiometric CaO, Li2O, and SiO2, was evaluated thermodynamically by DFT. The synthesized Li2CaSiO4 with and without alkali carbonates was used as CO2 sorbents, and their CO2 adsorption performances were examined using thermal analyses. The phase and morphology of Li2CaSiO4 before and after CO2 adsorption were characterized by XRD and SEM. According to the thermodynamic evaluation and the XRD results, Li2CaSiO4 could adsorb CO2 and form CaCO3 and Li2SiO3. The thermal analyses showed that the regeneration of Li2CaSiO4 started from 575 °C, at which it was difficult to realize the CO2 diffusion through the solid CaCO3 product layer. The mixed alkali carbonates can improve the kinetics and facilitate the CO2 adsorption of Li2CaSiO4. Alkali carbonates were effective in reducing the activation energy of the reaction and CO2 diffusion at low temperatures and improving the cyclic stability because of the dispersing carbonation products.

TMED family genes and their roles in human diseases.

The members of the transmembrane emp24 domain-containing protein (TMED) family are summarized in human as four subfamilies, α (TMED 4, 9), ß (TMED 2), γ (TMED1, 3, 5, 6, 7) and δ (TMED 10), with a total of nine members, which are important regulators of intracellular protein transport and are involved in normal embryonic development, as well as in the pathogenic processes of many human diseases. Here we systematically review the composition, structure and function of TMED family members, and describe the progress of TMED family in human diseases, including malignancies (head and neck tumors, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, urological tumors, osteosarcomas, etc.), immune responses, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, mucin 1 nephropathy (MKD), and desiccation syndrome (SS). Finally, we discuss and prospect the potential of TMED for disease prognosis prediction and therapeutic targeting, with a view to laying the foundation for therapeutic research based on TMED family causative genes.

Advances in nanomedicines for lymphatic imaging and therapy.

Lymph nodes play a pivotal role in tumor progression as key components of the lymphatic system. However, the unique physiological structure of lymph nodes has traditionally constrained the drug delivery efficiency. Excitingly, nanomedicines have shown tremendous advantages in lymph node-specific delivery, enabling distinct recognition and diagnosis of lymph nodes, and hence laying the foundation for efficient tumor therapies. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the key factors affecting the specific enrichment of nanomedicines in lymph nodes, and systematically summarize nanomedicines for precise lymph node drug delivery and therapeutic application, including the lymphatic diagnosis and treatment nanodrugs and lymph node specific imaging and identification system. Notably, we delve into the critical challenges and considerations currently facing lymphatic nanomedicines, and futher propose effective strategies to address these issues. This review encapsulates recent findings, clinical applications, and future prospects for designing effective nanocarriers for lymphatic system targeting, with potential implications for improving cancer treatment strategies.

Continuous Dural Suturing for the Closure of Grade 1 to 2 Cerebrospinal Fluid Leakage After Pituitary Adenoma Removal Using an Endoscopic Endonasal Approach.

In this study, we aim at evaluating continuous dural suturing in patients with grade 1 to 2 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after pituitary adenoma removal using an endoscopic endonasal approach. The study population comprised 381 pituitary adenoma patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal removal of the tumor. The degree of intraoperative CSF leakage was graded based on Esposito method. Cranial base repair using continuous dural suturing was performed according to the grade of CSF leakage. Intraoperative grade 1 to 2 CSF leakage was identified in 143 patients (37.5%). Continuous dural suturing to repair the cranial base was accepted by 61 patients and refused by 82 patients. Among patients who accepted dural suturing, the incidence of postoperative CSF leakage was reduced and the length of hospital stay was shortened. Patients with low-flow leakage were treated using a reduced vascularized pedicled nasoseptal flap. In conclusion, our graded cranial base repair method using the dural suturing technique is simple and effective.

Proton Storage in Metallic H1.75MoO3 Nanobelts through the Grotthuss Mechanism.

The proton, as the cationic form of the lightest element-H, is regarded as most ideal charge carrier in "rocking chair" batteries. However, current research on proton batteries is still at its infancy, and they usually deliver low capacity and suffer from severe acidic corrosion. Herein, electrochemically activated metallic H1.75MoO3 nanobelts are developed as a stable electrode for proton storage. The electrochemically pre-intercalated protons not only bond directly with the terminal O3 site via strong O-H bonds but also interact with the oxygens within the adjacent layers through hydrogen bonding, forming a hydrogen-bonding network in H1.75MoO3 nanobelts and enabling a diffusion-free Grotthuss mechanism as a result of its ultralow activation energy of ∼0.02 eV. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported inorganic electrode exhibiting Grotthuss mechanism-based proton storage. Additionally, the proton intercalation into MoO3 with formation of H1.75MoO3 induces strong Jahn-Teller electron-phonon coupling, rendering a metallic state. As a consequence, the H1.75MoO3 shows an outstanding fast charging performance and maintains a capacity of 111 mAh/g at 2500 C, largely outperforming the state-of-art battery electrodes. More importantly, a symmetric proton ion full cell based on H1.75MoO3 was assembled and delivered an energy density of 14.7 Wh/kg at an ultrahigh power density of 12.7 kW/kg, which outperforms those of fast charging supercapacitors and lead-acid batteries.

A pure nanoICG-based homogeneous lipiodol formulation: toward precise surgical navigation of primary liver cancer after long-term transcatheter arterial embolization.

PURPOSE: To surmount the critical issues of indocyanine green (ICG), and thus achieving a precise surgical navigation of primary liver cancer after long-term transcatheter arterial embolization. METHODS: In this study, a facile and green pure-nanomedicine formulation technology is developed to construct carrier-free indocyanine green nanoparticles (nanoICG), and which subsequently dispersed into lipiodol via a super-stable homogeneous lipiodol formulation technology (SHIFT nanoICG) for transcatheter arterial embolization combined near-infrared fluorescence-guided precise hepatectomy. RESULTS: SHIFT nanoICG integrates excellent anti-photobleaching capacity, great optical imaging property, and specific tumoral deposition to recognize tumor regions, featuring entire-process enduring fluorescent-guided precise hepatectomy, especially in resection of the indiscoverable satellite lesions (0.6 mm × 0.4 mm) in rabbit bearing VX2 orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma models. CONCLUSION: Such a simple and effective strategy provides a promising avenue to address the clinical issue of clinical hepatectomy and has excellent potential for a translational pipeline.

Water interaction with B-site (B = Al, Zr, Nb, and W) doped SrFeO3-δ-based perovskite surfaces for thermochemical water splitting applications.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to study the interaction of water with the SrO and FeO2 terminations of the SrFeO3-δ (001) surface, where the effects of the metal dopants (Al, Zr, Nb, and W), surface oxygen vacancies, and oxygen ion migration were investigated. Our calculations showed that the metal dopants benefited the molecular and dissociative adsorptions of H2O on both the perfect and oxygen-vacancy-containing surfaces. The surface oxygen vacancies were predicted to promote the dissociative adsorption of H2O and the formation of H2. For all structures studied, H2 release was found to be always an overall endothermic process, except for the W-doped structure which will become exothermic at high temperature. On the oxygen-vacancy-containing surface, H2 generation was predicted to be easier at the SrO termination than the FeO2 termination. Furthermore, we also investigated the oxygen ion migration mechanism on all surface structures, predicted the behaviour of oxygen migration and the effect of oxygen vacancy defects. Our results showed that Al doping facilitated not only the formation of surface oxygen vacancies, but also oxygen migration from the surface to the subsurface, in contrast to the Zr, Nb and W-doped structures. This study provided significant insights into the interaction of water with the surfaces of doped SrFeO3-δ perovskite materials for thermochemical water splitting applications.

Functional nanovesicles displaying anti-PD-L1 antibodies for programmed photoimmunotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Photoimmunotherapy is one of the most promising strategies in tumor immunotherapies, but targeted delivery of photosensitizers and adjuvants to tumors remains a major challenge. Here, as a proof of concept, we describe bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived nanovesicles (NVs) displaying anti-PD-L1 antibodies (aPD-L1) that were genetically engineered for targeted drug delivery. RESULTS: The high affinity and specificity between aPD-L1 and tumor cells allow aPD-L1 NVs to selectively deliver photosensitizers to cancer tissues and exert potent directed photothermal ablation. The tumor immune microenvironment was programmed via ablation, and the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) was designed to fuse with aPD-L1. The corresponding membrane vesicles were then extracted as an antigen-antibody integrator (AAI). AAI can work as a nanovaccine with the immune adjuvant R837 encapsulated. This in turn can directly stimulate dendritic cells (DCs) to boast the body's immune response to residual lesions. CONCLUSIONS: aPD-L1 NV-based photoimmunotherapy significantly improves the efficacy of photothermal ablation and synergistically enhances subsequent immune activation. This study describes a promising strategy for developing ligand-targeted and personalized cancer photoimmunotherapy.

A clinical trial of super-stable homogeneous lipiodol-nanoICG formulation-guided precise fluorescent laparoscopic hepatocellular carcinoma resection.

BACKGROUND: Applying traditional fluorescence navigation technologies in hepatocellular carcinoma is severely restricted by high false-positive rates, variable tumor differentiation, and unstable fluorescence performance. RESULTS: In this study, a green, economical and safe nanomedicine formulation technology was developed to construct carrier-free indocyanine green nanoparticles (nanoICG) with a small uniform size and better fluorescent properties without any molecular structure changes compared to the ICG molecule. Subsequently, nanoICG dispersed into lipiodol via a super-stable homogeneous intermixed formulation technology (SHIFT&nanoICG) for transhepatic arterial embolization combined with fluorescent laparoscopic hepatectomy to eliminate the existing shortcomings. A 52-year-old liver cancer patient was recruited for the clinical trial of SHIFT&nanoICG. We demonstrate that SHIFT&nanoICG could accurately identify and mark the lesion with excellent stability, embolism, optical imaging performance, and higher tumor-to-normal tissue ratio, especially in the detection of the microsatellite lesions (0.4 × 0.3 cm), which could not be detected by preoperative imaging, to realize a complete resection of hepatocellular carcinoma under fluorescence laparoscopy in a shorter period (within 2 h) and with less intraoperative blood loss (50 mL). CONCLUSIONS: This simple and effective strategy integrates the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, and thus, it has great potential in various clinical applications.

"Rapid Formation, Acute Rupture" Course of Intracranial Aneurysm.

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a devastating cerebrovascular disease characterizing with a potential rupturing risk. In previous studies, the formation of IA was considered to be in a chronic manner, and the ruptured aneurysms might merely derived from the already formed unruptured IA. A 61-year-old male presented to the hospital complaining of a headache. The patient received neuroimage tests, including head computed tomography and digital substraction angiography, to examine the underlying cerebrovascular diseases. Interestingly, we found a newborn ruptured IA with 9-day intervals between 2 whole-cerebral digital subtraction angiography examinations. In summary, the case in our report provides a clue for the natural course that the IA is probably in a "rapid formation, acute rupture" manner.
