| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cerebral aneurysms (CAs) is a common disease in general public with prevalence between 1% and 5%, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) mostly caused by rupture of CAs is still a serious disease. In this project, we established and modified rat and monkey ecerbral aneurysmal models including a rupture model, analyzed critical cell and molecular candidates for cerebral aneurysmal development, tried to develop MR imaging systems using specific contrast medium for detection of rupture-prone cerebral aneurysms and set a live imaging to observe a real-time alteration in rat cerebral aneurysms. We also tested several possible medical treatments to stabilize cerebral aneurysms in animal models.
