    Abstract 16p11.2 deletion is one of the most influential copy number variations (CNVs) associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous studies have investigated the pathophysiology of 16p11.2 deletion both in vitro and in vivo, and have identified features such as NMDAR dysfunction, excitation-inhibition imbalance, transcriptional dysregulation, and impaired cortical development. However, little is known about the transcriptional profiles of human neural cells. Here, we constructed an isogenic human embryonic stem (hES) cell model with 16p11.2 deletion using a CRISPR/Cas9 system and performed transcriptome analyses of hES-derived 2-dimensional neural cells. We identified several characteristics which may correlate with the neuropathology of 16p11.2 deletion: predisposition to differentiate into neural lineages, enhanced neurogenesis, and dysregulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling and RAF/MAPK pathway. We also found upregulation of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) target genes including GRM5, which is implicated as a common trait between 16p11.2 deletion and fragile X syndrome. Extending our knowledge into other ASD models would help us to understand the molecular pathology of this disorder.

    Abstract A dissecting aneurysm in the P4 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) is extremely rare, and its treatment is sometimes challenging. Endovascular parent artery occlusion (PAO) was performed for an unruptured P4 segment dissecting PCA aneurysm presenting with ischemic stroke and rapid growth. A 70-year-old man was rushed to our emergency department due to a right-sided headache and a visual field defect. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed a right occipital lobe ischemic stroke, with right PCA occlusion and aneurysm formation in the P4 segment. The diagnosis was PCA dissection in the calcarine artery, and oral aspirin was started. Within a week, the dissecting aneurysm had enlarged progressively to 6.2 mm in diameter. Thus, PAO with coils was performed as a preventive measure against aneurysm rupture, assuming that complication risks were low because the tributary area of the dissecting PCA had already infarcted. A 6-Fr guiding sheath was introduced from the right brachial artery to the right vertebral artery, and a microcatheter/microguidewire was placed into the true lumen of the calcarine artery distal to the aneurysm. PAO with coils was performed, and the blood flow to the aneurysm was completely obliterated. After the treatment, the known infarction in the right occipital lobe was enlarged, but no new neurological symptoms developed. The patient was discharged independently on postoperative day 3. Treatment for a distal PCA dissecting aneurysm is challenging. PAO with coils is one of the reasonable choices, especially when a visual field defect has already developed.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a novel triple-bladder cuff method for accurate and automated estimation of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and validate its reliability in animal experiments.
    Methods: The cuff is composed of three bladders each measured one-third the width of a conventional BP cuff, which are designed to measure oscillatory pulsation at the proximal, middle, and distal segments of the upper arm. This structure allows evaluation of the pulse wave propagation in the brachial artery under the cuff. SBP is estimated (SBP
    Results: SBP correlated strongly with SBP
    Conclusion: This method estimates SBP and DBP with acceptable accuracy.
    Significance: Accurate and automated BP estimation by this method may potentially optimize antihypertensive treatment in patients with hypertension.

    Abstract Background: Risk prediction of anastomotic leakage using anatomical and vascular factors has not been well established. This study aimed to assess the anatomical and vascular factors affecting the hemodynamics of the gastric conduit and develop a novel risk stratification system in patients undergoing esophagectomy with retrosternal reconstruction.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 202 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent subtotal esophagectomy with gastric tube retrosternal reconstruction between January 2008 and December 2020. Risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL), including the anatomical index (AI) and anastomotic viability index (AVI), were evaluated using a logistic regression model.
    Results: According to the logistic regression model, the independent risk factors for AL were preoperative body mass index ≥23.6 kg/m
    Conclusion: The combination of AI and AVI strongly predicted AL. Additionally, the use of AI and AVI enabled the stratification of the risk of AL in patients who underwent esophagectomy with retrosternal reconstruction.

    Abstract Pressure wave reflection is associated with cardiovascular risk. The conceptual distance to a theoretical major reflection site, termed effective reflection distance (ERD), has been associated with aging and augmentation index (AIx) clinically. However, it remains unclear whether and how ERD varies and associates with AIx when the hemodynamic condition is acutely perturbed in a patient. The objective of this study was to address this issue in rigorously controlled animal experiments. In 13 anesthetized dogs, we measured arterial pressure, aortic flow and femoral arterial flow, while altering the hemodynamic condition over wide ranges by administering zatebradine (bradycardic agent), nitroprusside (vasodilator), noradrenaline (vasoconstrictor), dobutamine (inotrope), and dextran (volume-expander). Using the measured data, we determined ERD based on an arterial model comprising a tube with a complex frequency-dependent load (ERD

    Abstract D-Serine has been shown to play an important role in the expression and control of a variety of brain functions by acting as the endogenous coagonist for the N-methyl-D-aspartate type glutamate receptor (NMDAR), at least, in the forebrain. To obtain further insight into the still debatable cellular localization of the D-amino acid, we have examined the effects of the selective destruction of the neuronal cell bodies by quinolinate on the tissue or extracellular D-serine concentrations in the medial prefrontal cortex of the rat. A local quinolinate infusion into the bilateral medial prefrontal cortex produced a cortical lesion with a marked (- 65%) and non-significant alteration (- 5%) in the cortical and striatal tissue D-serine concentrations, respectively, 7 days post-infusion. In vivo microdialysis experiments in the right prefrontal lesion site 9 days after the quinolinate application revealed that the basal extracellular D-serine levels were also dramatically reduced (- 64%). A prominent reduction in the tissue levels of GABA in the interneurons of the prefrontal cortex (- 78%) without significant changes in those in the striatum (+ 12%) verified that a major lesion part was confined to the cortical portion. The lack of a significant influence of the prefrontal quinolinate lesion on its dopamine concentrations in the mesocortical dopamine projections suggests that the nerve terminals and axons in the lesion site may be spared. These findings are consistent with the perikarya-selective nature of the present quinolinate-induced lesion and further support the view that neuronal cell bodies of intrinsic neurons in the prefrontal cortical region contain substantial amounts of D-serine, which may sustain the basal extracellular concentrations of D-serine.
