    Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to the development of neuropathic pain. Although a multitude of pathological processes contribute to SCI-induced pain, excessive intracellular calcium accumulation and voltage-gated calcium-channel upregulation play critical roles in SCI-induced pain. However, the role of calcium-channel blockers in SCI-induced pain is unknown. Omega-conotoxin MVIIA (MVIIA) is a calcium-channel blocker that selectively inhibits N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels and demonstrates neuroprotective effects. Therefore, we investigated spinal analgesic actions and cellular mechanisms underlying the analgesic effects of MVIIA in SCI. We used SCI-induced pain model rats and conducted behavioral tests, immunohistochemical analyses, and electrophysiological experiments (

    Abstract We have developed a sensor for simultaneous measurement of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) under liquid environments. The sensor, which is based on the qPlus sensor, is equipped with an insulated conductive tip. Owing to its electrical insulation except for the tip apex, the developed sensor enabled simultaneous detection of tip-sample interaction force and tunneling current, suppressing the Faradaic leakage current. As a fundamental demonstration, we performed simultaneous AFM/STM imaging in an electrolyte solution by using the developed sensor.

    Abstract Aim/introduction: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of diabetic symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes registered in the Japan Diabetes Complication and its Prevention Prospective (JDCP) study.
    Materials and methods: In the study, 6338 patients with diabetes who had been treated by diabetes specialists were registered in 2007-2009. Of these, patients with type 2 diabetes who could be evaluated for DSPN were analyzed using
    Results: Of the total participants, 5451 patients (mean age 61.4 years old and duration of diabetes 10.8 years) were analyzed. Based on the criteria, 35.8% of patients were diagnosed with DSPN. The prevalence of sensory symptoms was 25.8%. The following factors increased risk for DSPN: age [odds ratio (OR) 1.57, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.42-1.73], duration of diabetes (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.21-1.43), body mass index (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.09-1.30), systolic blood pressure (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.10), hemoglobin A1c (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.09-1.22), biguanides (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.06-1.39), and insulin therapy (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.36-1.84). The following factors decreased risk for DSPN: total cholesterol (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-1.00) and exercise therapy (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.73-0.98).
    Conclusions: The baseline survey clarified the prevalence and characteristics of DSPN in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. The survey also revealed the risk factors of DSPN.

    Abstract A 22-year-old woman without structural heart disease underwent catheter ablation of frequent premature atrial contractions (PACs). Radiofrequency applications from both the right and left atrium were effective in suppressing or eliminating these PACs. The distance between the right atrial ablation site and the successful ablation site at the right-sided pulmonary venous carina measured 18 mm on the CARTO map, and no cardiac structure, i.e. the inter-atrial septum, was present between those sites. Taken together, the epicardial muscular fibers in the inter-atrial groove were considered to play a role as an arrhythmogenic source of this atrial tachyarrhythmia.
    Learning objective: Epicardial muscular fibers connecting the right atrium and right-sided pulmonary venous carina are known to preclude isolation of the veins. This epicardial connection in the interatrial groove can be an arrhythmogenic source or part of a reentrant circuit of atrial tachyarrhythmias.

    Abstract Norepinephrine (NE) acts directly on the inhibitory interneurons of spinal lamina X and may act on spinal lamina X neurons for inhibiting nociceptive synaptic transmission against pain. We investigated this mechanism within inflammatory pain model rats. Using immunohistochemical staining and in vivo extracellular recording, the increased number of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase profiles in lamina X (n = 6/group) and increased frequency of spontaneous neuronal firing on putative lamina X (n = 14) under the inflammatory pain were significantly suppressed by the direct application of NE (P < 0.01). Following in vivo observation of enhanced spontaneous neuronal firing, we tested the impact of NE on this discharge using an in vitro spinal slice preparation. Using in vitro patch-clamps recording, the baseline level of miniature inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mIPSCs) frequency on spinal lamina X neurons cord is decreased under inflammatory pain. Direct application of NE to spinal lamina X neurons in inflammatory pain model rats facilitates mIPSCs frequency and induces an outward current (n = 8; P < 0.05), and these responses are inhibited by α1A- and α2-receptor antagonists (n = 8; P > 0.05). Considering these results and those of our previous study (Ohashi et al., 2019), NE might act on inhibitory interneurons of spinal lamina X to facilitate inhibitory transmission and induces neurons located in or around lamina X membrane hyperpolarization. These NE-mediated responses acted through α1A- and α2-receptors. These mechanisms of NE on spinal lamina X might contribute to analgesia against inflammatory pain.

    Abstract PET can reveal in vivo biological processes at the molecular level. PET-derived quantitative values have been used as a surrogate marker for clinical decision-making in numerous clinical studies and trials. However, quantitative values in PET are variable depending on technical, biological, and physical factors. The variability may have a significant impact on a study outcome. Appropriate scanner calibration and quality control, standardization of imaging protocols, and any necessary harmonization strategies are essential to make use of PET as a biomarker with low bias and variability. This review summarizes benefits, limitations, and remaining challenges for harmonization of quantitative PET, including whole-body PET in oncology, brain PET in neurology, PET/MR, and non-

    Abstract Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) is the process by which the emptying of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ stores causes an influx of Ca2+ across the plasma membrane (PM). It is the major Ca2+ influx pathway in nonexcitable cells and has a wide array of physiological functions. Upon store depletion, stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), an ER calcium sensor relocates into discrete puncta at the ER-PM junction region, which results in the coupling of Ca2+ channels to initiate SOCE. However, the mechanism regulating STIM1 activity remains poorly understood. Here, we performed affinity purification of STIM1 and uncovered ER membrane protein complex 1 (EMC1) as an STIM1 binding partner. We showed that this interaction occurred in the ER through the intraluminal region of STIM1. After store depletion, EMC1 does not cluster adjacent to the PM, which suggests that it is distributed differently from STIM1. EMC1 knockdown with small interfering RNA resulted in a marked decrease in SOCE. Thus, these findings suggest that EMC1 functions as a positive regulator of SOCE.
