Abstract
Headache can be attributed to cranial or cervical vascular disorders including ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, unruptured vascular malformation, arteritis, carotid-vertebral artery pain, and cerebral venous thrombosis. Here, we present a case report of unruptured saccular aneurysm with migraine. The patient was a previously healthy 32-year-old man with repeated episodes of headache for 6 years. Findings for computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the head were normal. Head magnetic resonance angiography revealed a small, nodule-like protuberance seen in the anterior communicating artery. Based on his clinical features and ancillary examinations, the patient was diagnosed with migraine without aura. The patient subsequently underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA), which revealed a 2-mm cystic protuberance in the superoposterior anterior communicating artery. The patient underwent stent-assisted coil embolization of the aneurysm. Subsequent DSA results indicated no recurrence of aneurysm and no recurrence of headache was reported after surgical treatment.

Abstract
We report a novel fabrication method for ordered arrays of metal nanoparticles that exploits the uniform arrangement of polymer beads deposited as close-packed monolayers. In contrast to colloidal lithography that applies particles as masks, we used thermal decomposition of the metal-covered particles to precisely define metal structures. Large arrays of noble metal (Au, Ag, Pt) nanoparticles were produced in a three-step process on silicon, fused silica and sapphire substrates, demonstrating the generality of this approach. Polystyrene spheres with diameters ranging between 110 nm and 1 μm were convectively assembled into crystalline monolayers, coated with metal and annealed in a resistive furnace or using an ethanol flame. The thermal decomposition of the polymer microspheres converted the metal layer into particles arranged in hexagonal arrays that preserved the order of the original monolayer. Both the particle size and the interparticle distance were adjusted via the thickness of the metal coating and the sphere diameter, respectively.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to test a new hypothesis that brain cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and CPR-dependent enzymes play important roles in behavioral performance. A mouse model with brain neuron-specific deletion of the Cpr gene (brain-Cpr-null) was recently generated. Brain-Cpr-null mice and wild-type (WT) littermates were compared in a variety of behavioral assays. Notable differences were found in the exploratory behavior assay: for both males and females, activity in the center of the chamber was significantly higher for brain-Cpr-null than for WT mice on days 2 and 3 of the assay, although no significant difference was found between the two groups in anxiety-like behavior in the elevated zero maze. Furthermore, in the fear-conditioning assay, brain-Cpr-null mice exhibited significantly less activity suppression than did WT controls. This deficit in activity suppression was not accompanied by any difference between WT and brain-Cpr-null mice in nociceptive responses to foot shocks. Abnormal activity suppression was also observed in both male and female brain-Cpr-null mice during the contextual memory test. However, in the Morris water maze assay, the brain-Cpr-null and WT mice were indistinguishable, indicating normal spatial memory in the mutant mice. These data collectively indicate a novel role of the Cpr gene in fear conditioning and memory.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmias and its prevalence is increasing worldwide in line with the growing elderly population. Many single nucleotide polymorphisms and mutations are associated with AF, including the common loss-of-function histidine-558-to-arginine (H558R) polymorphism of the human cardiac sodium channel, voltage-gated, type V, α subunit (encoded by the SCN5A gene). The H558R polymorphism results from the T-C transition in the SCN5A gene. This study recruited 135 patients with AF and 296 healthy controls to scan for and perform targeted genotyping of the H558R polymorphism of the SCN5A gene. Logistic regression analysis showed that the TC and CC genotypes (i.e. genotypes that result in the R558 polymorphism) were significantly associated with an increased risk of developing AF. The R558 polymorphism conferred an odds ratio for AF of 3.451 (95% confidence interval 1.718, 6.931). In conclusion, this study provided evidence for the role of the H558R polymorphism of the SCN5A gene in increasing the susceptibility to AF.

Abstract
Though implicated in vascular remodelling, a role for the resistin-like molecule (RELM)-β in human airway remodelling remains unexplored. We hypothesised that RELM-β expression is increased in the airways of asthmatics and regulates airways epithelial cell function. Expression of RELM-β in the bronchial mucosa and its concentrations in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from asthmatics and controls were measured by immunohistochemistry and ELISA, respectively. Proliferation assays, Western blotting, ELISA and real-time PCR were employed to detect effects of RELM-β on airways epithelial cells. RELM-β expression was increased in the bronchial mucosa and BAL fluid of asthmatics compared with controls. In the asthmatics, the numbers of mucosal RELM-β+ cells correlated inversely with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (r=-0.531, p=0.016), while the numbers of epithelial RELM-β+ cells correlated positively with those of mucin (MUC)5AC+ cells. In vitro, interleukin-13 enhanced RELM-β expression by primary human airways epithelial cells, while RELM-β itself acted on these cells to induce proliferation, expression of MUC5AC, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt phosphorylation and elevated expression of transforming growth factor-β2, epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor. RELM-β has the potential to contribute to airway remodelling in diseases such as asthma by acting on epithelial cells to increase proliferation, mucin and growth factor production, at least partly via ERK/MAPK-PI3K/Akt signalling pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report our experiences in the treatment of recurrent intracranial aneurysms with re-coiling or covered stents. METHODS A total of 291 patients with 305 intracranial aneurysms were treated with detachable coils, and 41 (28.9%) of 142 patients with aneurysms in the internal carotid artery had a recurrent aneurysm during the follow-up period. For this study, 31 recurrent aneurysms in 31 patients who had angiograms within 6 months following retreatment with detachable coils (group A, n = 20) or covered stents (group B, n = 11) were analysed. Aneurysms were categorised as complete or incomplete occlusion via angiographic assessment and graded as full recovery, improvement, no change or deterioration via clinical assessment. Data regarding technical success, initial and final angiographic results, mortality, morbidity and final clinical outcome were collected and analysed postoperatively. RESULTS Coil embolisation and covered stent placement were technically successful in all recurrent aneurysms. The initial angiographic results showed complete occlusion in 11 patients (55%) in group A and in eight (72.7%) in group B (p = 0.452), and the final angiographic results exhibited complete occlusion in 10 patients (50%) in group A and in 11 (100%) in group B (p = 0.005). There were no significant differences in technique success, mortality, culminate morbidity or final clinical outcome between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Recurrent aneurysms after coiling can be successfully treated and occluded with re-coiling or covered stent placement. However, covered stents seem to be more effective than re-coiling with regard to complete occlusion of recurrent aneurysms.

Abstract
A simple approach was demonstrated to prepare a silver (Ag) nanoparticle (NP) assembly as a SERS substrate. Just by dipping a flat silicon (Si) wafer into an aqueous deposition solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) + silver nitrate (AgNO3), a monolayer of Ag NPs was uniformly deposited onto the Si wafer surface. In order to load the to-be-detected sample onto the as-prepared SERS substrate, three methods have been individually tested, (i) by incubating the SERS substrate in the sample solution, (ii) by dropping and drying a small volume of the sample solution (1-2 microl) onto the SERS substrate surface, or (iii) by directly introducing the sample into the deposition solution. The last approach was also employed to metalize a Si nanowire (NW). Due to the NW's highly curved surface, the Ag NPs self-assembled and aggregated along the NW with a close interdistance. The aggregated Ag NPs on the NW surface can also be used as a SERS substrate. The demonstrated approach holds the promise to prepare a fresh SERS substrate at the point-of-use with the sample already loaded to promptly collect the SERS signal for the field application.
