    Abstract Background: Evidence regarding the application of the multispectral camera for blood flow measurement is insufficient, and its performance has not been compared with the conventional indocyanine green (ICG) method. Therefore, we retrospectively compared the effectiveness of a new multispectral camera for non-invasive, real-time, quantitative imaging of tissue oxygen (O
    Methods: Thirty patients who underwent thoracoscopic esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer were included in this study. The multispectral camera was used to measure tissue O
    Results: In the evaluation of arterial perfusion, anastomotic leak occurred in three of the five (60 %) patients with arterial insufficiency as assessed by the ICG imaging, while anastomotic leakage occurred in all three patients (100 %) who were assessed as having arterial insufficiency by the multispectral camera. In the evaluation of venous perfusion, anastomotic leakage occurred in three of the nine (33.3 %) patients diagnosed with venous stasis by the IC imaging and in three of the five (60 %) patients assessed by the multispectral camera.
    Conclusion: The multispectral camera assessed gastric tube blood flow more accurately than the ICG fluorescence method.

    Abstract Objective: This study evaluated the volume of thickened dura mater lesions and their impact on clinical findings in immune-mediated hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP).
    Methods: The volume of contrast-enhanced dura mater on magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated using the imaging feature quantification system in 19 patients with immune-mediated HP, including 12 with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-related, 4 with IgG4-related, and 3 with idiopathic HP, as well as 10 with multiple sclerosis (MS) as controls. The implications of HP volume on neurological manifestations and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) laboratory markers were statistically analyzed in patients with immune-mediated HP.
    Results: The volumes of the contrast-enhanced dura mater in the convexity, cranial fossa, and tentorium cerebelli were significantly higher in patients with immune-mediated HP than in those with MS. Among patients with immune-mediated HP, those with cranial nerve (CN) VIII neuropathy had a significantly higher volume of the contrast-enhanced dura mater in the cranial fossa than those without CN VIII neuropathy. The volume of the contrast-enhanced dura mater in the tentorium cerebelli was positively correlated with CSF protein levels.
    Conclusion: Quantification of the thickened dura mater is useful for elucidating the relationship with the clinical findings in immune-mediated HP. Thickened dura mater lesions in the cranial fossa may be implicated in the development of CN VIII neuropathy. The enlargement of HP lesions in the tentorium cerebelli can increase CSF protein levels.

    Abstract Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN), a subgroup of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation, is typically characterized by non-progressive global developmental delay and seizures in childhood, followed by progressive neurological decline with parkinsonism and dementia in adolescence or early adulthood. It is difficult to clinically identify a patient with BPAN in childhood. Recent studies reported that serum levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were elevated in children with BPAN. We reviewed the time course of serum NSE levels in a 21-year-old female patient genetically diagnosed (a de novo WDR45 variant c.268A > T) with BPAN, which was suspected based on prolonged elevation of serum NSE. There was an overall tendency for serum NSE levels to decrease in a stepwise fashion. The peak serum NSE level was observed during the first 2 years of age and then decreased rapidly in 1 year. High serum NSE levels persisted between 3 and 11 years of age. Subsequently, serum NSE levels decreased and plateaued after 13 years of age. There were tendencies for both blood AST and LDH levels to decrease over time in parallel with serum NSE levels. Serum NSE levels may be a diagnostic biomarker of BPAN in children but becomes of less value in identifying a patient with BPAN after childhood.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the objective function of the inner retinal layer in each stage of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using the photopic negative response (PhNR) measured by RETeval full-field electroretinography (ERG), and to identify which PhNR parameter is the most useful.
    Methods: Ninety eyes of 90 patients with POAG (30 with mild POAG (mean deviation (MD) ≥ -6 dB) and 60 with moderate-to-advanced POAG (MD < -6 dB)) and 76 eyes of 76 control cases were examined. We investigated six PhNR parameters and their relationships with the results of the Humphrey 30-2 visual field test and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (cpRNFL) obtained from optical coherence tomography. The following PhNR parameters were assessed: base-to-trough (BT), peak-to-trough (PT), 72msPhNR, the W-ratio, P-ratio, implicit time (IT), and a-wave and b-wave amplitudes on ERG.
    Results: All PhNR parameters other than IT significantly differed between the all POAG (all stages) and control groups and between the moderate-to-advanced POAG and control groups. BT and 72msPhNR in the mild POAG group, significantly differed from those in the control group. Regarding the relationships between PhNR parameters and the visual field and between these parameters and cpRNFL thickness, correlations were observed between all PhNR parameters, except PT and IT, and both the visual field and cpRNFL thickness in the all and moderate-to-advanced POAG groups. 72msPhNR correlated with cpRNFL thickness in the mild POAG group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was greater for BT than for the other PhNR parameters in both the mild and moderate-to-advanced POAG groups. The discriminant linear function for examining the presence or absence of POAG and the threshold for diagnosis were quantitatively obtained as follows. Regarding BT: discriminant = 0.505 × BT + 2.017; threshold = positive for POAG, negative for no POAG; correct answer rate = 80.7%. Concerning 72msPhNR: discriminant = 0.533 × 72msPhNR + 1.553; threshold = positive for POAG and negative for no POAG; correct answer rate = 77.1%.
    Conclusion: RETeval-measured PhNR parameters were useful for an objective evaluation of visual function in moderate-to-advanced POAG. BT appeared to be the most diagnostically useful parameter.

    Abstract An adverse effect of drug candidates, seizure is a serious issue in drug development. Improving evaluation systems for seizure liability is crucial for selecting good candidates. Firstly, in vitro electrophysiological measurement by a multielectrode array system in rat hippocampal brain slices was employed to confirm an increase in electrically evoked population spike (PS) area, the occurrence of multiple population spikes (MPSs), and thereby the seizure liability of five positive control chemicals: picrotoxin, 4-aminopyridine, pentylenetetrazole, penicillin G, and chlorpromazine. Aspirin, a negative control, did not affect PS area or generate MPSs. Furthermore, baclofen, an anticonvulsant drug, decreased PS area and inhibited the increase in PS area or occurrence of MPSs induced by picrotoxin. A comparative study of seizure liability among carbapenem antibiotics revealed that tienam > carbenin > omegacin and finibax. Despite leading to a strong decrease in PS area, physostigmine, cisplatin, and paroxetine still produced MPSs. Therefore, the increase in PS area or the occurrence of the MPS are considered significant evaluation parameters for seizure liability. In contrast, the in vitro electrophysiological measurement could not detect the seizure liability of diphenhydramine or fluvoxamine. A follow-up study of in vivo mouse behavioral change induced by intracerebroventricular administration of these drugs clearly detected convulsions. The in vitro electrophysiological study using hippocampal brain slices combined with in vivo behavior observation study of drug candidates administered by intracerebroventricular injection can implement to assess the seizure liability of even small amounts, especially in the early stages of drug development.

    Abstract Background: Donepezil has been approved in Japan for the treatment of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) based on clinical trials showing its beneficial effects on cognitive impairment. This phase IV study evaluated the efficacy of donepezil by focusing on global clinical status during a 12-week double-blind phase.
    Methods: Patients with probable DLB were randomly assigned to the placebo (n = 79) or 10 mg donepezil (n = 81) groups. The primary endpoint was changes in global clinical status, assessed using the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC-plus). We also assessed four CIBIC-plus domains (general condition, cognitive function, behaviour, and activities of daily living) and changes in cognitive impairment and behavioural and neuropsychiatric symptoms measured using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), respectively.
    Results: Although donepezil's superiority was not shown in the global clinical status, a significant favourable effect was detected in the cognitive domain (P = 0.006). MMSE scores improved in the donepezil group after adjustments in post hoc analysis (MMSE mean difference, 1.4 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.42-2.30), P = 0.004). Improvements in NPIs were similar between the groups (NPI-2: -0.2 (95% CI, -1.48 to 1.01), P = 0.710; NPI-10: 0.1 (95% CI, -3.28 to 3.55), P = 0.937).
    Conclusion: The results support the observation that the efficacy of 10 mg donepezil in improving cognitive function is clinically meaningful in DLB patients. The evaluation of global clinical status might be affected by mild to moderate DLB patients enrolled in this study. No new safety concerns were detected.

    Abstract Abstract: Tanji, F, Ohnuma, H, Ando, R, Yamanaka, R, Ikeda, T, and Suzuki, Y. Longer ground contact time is related to a superior running economy in highly trained distance runners. J Strength Cond Res 38(5): 985-990, 2024-Running economy is a key component of distance running performance and is associated with gait parameters. However, there is no consensus of the link between the running economy (RE), ground contact time, and footstrike patterns. Thus, this study aimed to clarify the relationship between RE, ground contact time, and thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) in highly trained distance runners and to compare these parameters between 2 habitual footstrike patterns (midfoot vs. rearfoot). Seventeen male distance runners ran on a treadmill to measure RE and gait parameters. We collected the CSAs of the right thigh muscle using a magnetic resonance imaging scanner. The RE had a significant negative relationship with distance running performance ( r = -0.50) and ground contact time ( r = -0.51). The ground contact time had a significant negative relationship with the normalized CSAs of the vastus lateralis muscle ( r = -0.60) and hamstrings ( r = -0.54). No significant differences were found in RE, ground contact time, or normalized CSAs of muscles between midfoot ( n = 10) and rearfoot ( n = 7) strikers. These results suggest that large CSAs of knee extensor muscles results in short ground contact time and worse RE. The effects of the footstrike pattern on the RE appear insignificant, and the preferred footstrike pattern can be recommended for running in highly trained runners.

    Abstract We previously developed a stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) model in which normal human fibroblast MRC-5 cells were treated with either the proteasome inhibitor MG132 or the vacuolar-type ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1 (BAFA1). To clarify the involvement of mitochondrial function in our SIPS model, MRC-5 cells were treated with MG132 or BAFA1 along with an inhibitor targeting either the electron transport chain complex I or complex III, or with a mitochondrial uncoupler. SIPS induced by MG132 or BAFA1 was significantly attenuated by short-term co-treatment with the complex III inhibitor, antimycin A (AA), but not the complex I inhibitor, rotenone or the mitochondrial uncoupler, carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone. By co-treatment with AA, mitochondrial and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, accumulation of protein aggregates and mitochondrial unfolded protein responses (UPR

    Abstract Understanding how we see the world is different from how other people see it is a crucial part of social cognition and is known as visual perspective-taking. Although previous studies have demonstrated that 14-month-old infants have the capacity to compute the visual perspectives of others, it remains unknown whether infants under 12 months also have this ability. In this study, we modified a conventional gaze-following experimental setting in which one toy was placed in front of a model and was hidden by a barrier (Blocked Line of Sight Condition), and another toy was placed without a barrier (Clear Line of Sight Condition). We examined the visual perspective-taking abilities of 48 infants aged 7 and 12 months by measuring the infants' gaze shift towards the gaze-cued toy object with and without a barrier. The results demonstrated that 12-month-old infants could correctly follow a model's gaze if the model's line of sight was clear. In contrast, 7-month-old infants showed no evidence of such capacity. Our findings indicate that 12-month-old infants seem to have the capacity to compute the visual perspective of others.
