    Abstract Neuropeptide Y (NPY), an abundant peptide in the central nervous system, is expressed in neurons of various regions throughout the brain. The physiological and behavioral effects of NPY are mainly mediated through Y1, Y2, and Y5 receptor subtypes, which are expressed in regions regulating food intake, fear and anxiety, learning and memory, depression, and posttraumatic stress. In particular, the nucleus accumbens (NAc) has one of the highest NPY concentrations in the brain. In this review, we summarize the role of NPY in the NAc. NPY is expressed principally in medium-sized aspiny neurons, and numerous NPY immunoreactive fibers are observed in the NAc. Alterations in NPY expression under certain conditions through intra-NAc injections of NPY or receptor agonists/antagonists revealed NPY to be involved in the characteristic functions of the NAc, such as alcohol intake and drug addiction. In addition, control of mesolimbic dopaminergic release via NPY receptors may take part in these functions. NPY in the NAc also participates in fat intake and emotional behavior. Accumbal NPY neurons and fibers may exert physiological and pathophysiological actions partly through neuroendocrine mechanisms and the autonomic nervous system.

    Abstract Background: The Y-Balance Test (YBT), especially the posteromedial (PM) reach direction (PM-YBT), is able to identify dynamic postural control deficits in those who have ankle instability. However, there still exists a need to understand how sensorimotor function at the ankle explains the performance during the PM-YBT.
    Hypothesis/purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ability to accurately control eccentric ankle torque explained PM-YBT performance. It was hypothesized that eccentric dorsiflexion/plantarflexion torque control would be positively related to the maximum reach distance (MRD) of PM-YBT.
    Study design: Cross-sectional study.
    Methods: Twelve healthy subjects performed the PM-YBT, maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) for both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion muscle strength, and then the torque control testing of the ankle. The torque control testing provided a target torque level on a screen in front of the subject and passive rotations of the ankle joint in the sagittal plane at 10 deg/sec between plantarflexion to dorsiflexion. Subjects were then instructed to eccentrically contract the dorsiflexors and plantar flexors to generate torque while the ankle joint rotated. The accuracy of torque control during eccentric dorsiflexion and plantarflexion by calculating absolute errors, the area between the target torque and the produced torque were evaluated. Tibialis anterior and soleus muscle activities were simultaneously recorded during testing. A step-wise linear regression model was used to determine the best model predicted the MRD of the PM-YBT (PM-MRD).
    Results: A step-wise linear regression developed a model explaining only eccentric dorsiflexion torque control predicted higher PM-MRD score (R
    Conclusion: The accuracy of torque control during eccentric dorsiflexion predicts better performance in the PM-YBT.

    Abstract The graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect is one of the curative mechanisms of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). H-Y antigens, which are encoded by Y chromosome, are important targets of the GVL effect. Thus, deletion of the Y chromosome (del[Y]) might cause the GVL effect to deteriorate in a transplantation involving a female donor and male recipient, although the clinical significance of the del(Y) group remains to be elucidated. In this study, we evaluated adult male patients who underwent allo-HCT between 2010 and 2019 in Japan. There were 155 cases in the del(Y) group and 4149 cases without del(Y) who underwent female-to-male allo-HCT. Del(Y) was significantly associated with inferior overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.53; P = .049) and an increased risk of relapse (HR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.08-1.80; P = .0098) in multivariate analyses. There was no significant difference in nonrelapse mortality between recipients with and without del(Y) (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.769-1.51; P = .67). In contrast, del(Y) was not significantly associated with any clinical outcomes in the cohort of male-to-male allo-HCT. A higher incidence of relapse might have been caused by attenuation of the GVL effect resulting from a lack of H-Y antigens. Because a GVL effect resulting from sex mismatch may not be expected in men with del(Y) who undergo allo-HCT with a female donor, additional post-allo-HCT strategies might be required to prevent disease relapse.

    Abstract The changes in gastric microbiota following reconstruction after gastrectomy have not been reported. This study aimed to compare the gastric microbiota following Billroth I and Roux-en-Y reconstructions after distal gastrectomy. We enrolled 71 gastrectomized patients with gastric cancer; 31 and 40 underwent Billroth I and Roux-en-Y reconstructions, respectively. During upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, gastric fluid was collected immediately before and 6 months after distal gastrectomy. Deoxyribonucleic acid isolated from each sample was evaluated using 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid metagenomic analysis. Analysis revealed that the gastric microbiota's species richness (expressed as the alpha diversity) was significantly lower after than before distal gastrectomy (operational taxonomic units, p = 0.001; Shannon index, p = 0.03). The interindividual diversity (beta diversity) was significantly different before and after distal gastrectomy (unweighted UniFrac distances, p = 0.04; weighted UniFrac distances, p = 0.001; Bray-Curtis, p = 0.001). Alpha and beta diversity were not significantly different between Billroth I and Roux-en-Y reconstructions (observed operational taxonomic units, p = 0.58; Shannon index, p = 0.95; unweighted UniFrac distances, p = 0.65; weighted UniFrac distances, p = 0.67; Bray-Curtis, p = 0.63). Our study demonstrated significant differences in gastric microbiota diversity, composition, and community before and after distal gastrectomy but no difference between Billroth I and Roux-en-Y reconstruction after distal gastrectomy.

    Abstract Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of a number of neuropeptides with powerful orexigenic effects. Intracerebroventricular administration of NPY induces increases in food intake and alters feeding rate. Besides it role in feeding behavior, NPY also has significant effects on neuronal systems related to other spontaneous behaviors such as rearing and grooming. In the present study, we examined the direct effects of NPY on mesencephalic V neurons (Mes V), which are important sensory neurons involved in oral motor reflexes and rhythmical jaw movements, as well as masticatory proprioception. Coronal brain slices were prepared from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats (P3-17) and whole-cell patch clamp recordings were obtained from Mes V neurons. Bath application of NPY depolarized the membrane potential and induced inward current in most neurons. Application of NPY shortened the duration of the afterhyperpolarization following an action potential, and increased the mean spike frequency during repetitive discharge. In those neurons which exhibited rhythmical burst discharge in response to maintained current injection, the bursting frequency was also increased. These effects were mediated predominately by both Y1 and Y5 receptors.

    Abstract Objectives: This study evaluated the relationship between systemic inflammation and clinical outcomes in people hospitalized with acute heart failure (AHF).
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled people newly hospitalized with AHF after excluding those with concomitant infectious or inflammatory diseases. Systemic inflammation was evaluated using the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) at hospitalization, and participants were classified into low-grade and high-grade inflammation groups (mGPS 0-1 and 2, respectively). The primary outcome measure was functional recovery, evaluated using the Barthel Index gain. Secondary outcome measures were dysphagia at discharge and all-cause 1-y mortality after discharge. Multivariable analyses and Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to determine the association between systemic inflammation and study outcomes.
    Results: A total of 184 participants (mean age, 79.1 y; 48.4% female, 51.6% male) were included; 148 (80.4%) and 36 (19.6%), respectively, had low-grade and high-grade inflammation. Participants with high-grade inflammation were significantly older, had lower body mass index and muscle strength, and had lower nutrient intake, swallowing status, and Barthel Index than those with low-grade inflammation. In multivariable analyses, mGPS was significantly associated with Barthel Index gain (β = -0.229, P = 0.004) and Food Intake Level Scale (odds ratio = 5.067, P = 0.034) at discharge; mGPS was associated with 1-y mortality after discharge (P = 0.003).
    Conclusions: Baseline systemic inflammation was negatively associated with improvements in physical function and dysphagia and with 1-y survival in people with AHF. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on the assessment of systemic inflammation to accurately predict the functional prognosis of people with AHF.

    Abstract Background: Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) occurs in 1/40,000 individuals and is characterized by cervical fusion. Thirty percent of patients with KFS present with Sprengel deformity, leading to orthopedic problems and limited shoulder abduction. No reports exist regarding anesthetic procedures for pediatric scapular osteotomies.
    Case presentation: We report a case of a 4-year-and-7-month-old boy (95.6 cm, 14.7 kg) who underwent left scapular osteotomy. At the age of 8 months, he also underwent a right lower lobectomy due to a congenital pulmonary airway malformation. We decided to use a combination of suprascapular nerve block (SSNB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), and general anesthesia. He received regular acetaminophen administration and fentanyl 5-10 μg/hour intravenously until 20 h postoperatively and remained on ≤ 2/10 in the Wong-Baker Face Scale (0: no hurt; 10: hurts worst).
    Conclusion: The combination of SSNB and ESPB could be an option for perioperative analgesia for scapular osteotomies.
