    Abstract A nine-year-old, castrated male mixed-breed dog presented with a three-month history of sneezing and stertorous breathing. Computed tomography revealed a soft tissue mass in the left nasal cavity with lysis of the cribriform plate. The mass was diagnosed as intranasal sarcoma based on histopathological analysis. The tumor cells were immunohistochemically positive for KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α/β and negative for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and cyclooxygenase-2. Treatment with toceranib phosphate (TOC) and firocoxib reduced the tumor size, which was defined as partial response (PR). After PR induction, TOC alone mediated survival for 205 days. This case report suggests that the combination of TOC and possibly firocoxib may be a therapeutic option for canine intranasal sarcoma.

    Abstract Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection causes endemic bovine leukemia and lymphoma, resulting in lower carcass weight and reduced milk production by the infected cattle, leading to economic losses. Without effective measures for treatment and prevention, high rates of BLV infection can cause problems worldwide. BLV research is limited by the lack of a model system to assay infection. To overcome this, we previously developed the luminescence syncytium induction assay (LuSIA), a highly sensitive and objectively quantifiable method for visualizing BLV infectivity. In this study, we applied LuSIA for the high-throughput screening of drugs that could inhibit BLV infection. We screened 625 compounds from a chemical library using LuSIA and identified two that markedly inhibited BLV replication. We then tested the chemical derivatives of those two compounds and identified BSI-625 and -679 as potent inhibitors of BLV replication with low cytotoxicity. Interestingly, BSI-625 and -679 appeared to inhibit different steps of the BLV lifecycle. Thus, LuSIA was applied to successfully identify inhibitors of BLV replication and may be useful for the development of anti-BLV drugs.

    Abstract Vomiting is a major gastrointestinal (GI) sign of chronic enteropathy (CE) in dogs. Previous studies have reported clinical characteristics of dogs with CE, who developed diarrhea with or without vomiting as GI signs. However, to characterize clinical features of dogs with CE appropriately, dogs presenting with vomiting without diarrhea should be included in the analysis. Thus, this study aimed to characterize clinical features and outcomes of dogs that presented with vomiting without diarrhea. Based on their presenting GI signs, we retrospectively classified 66 dogs with CE into "Vomiting", "Diarrhea", or "Vomiting and diarrhea" groups and compared clinical and histological characteristics of each group. We found that 18 of the 66 dogs with CE (27%) presented with vomiting without diarrhea as a GI sign. Compared to the other 2 groups, the Vomiting group was significantly associated with food-responsive enteropathy (FRE), Beagle, lower clinical severity scores, higher plasma albumin levels, and higher histological scores for eosinophils in the duodenal lamina propria according to the univariate analysis. The multivariate analysis revealed that FRE and higher histological scores for eosinophils in the duodenal lamina propria were significant variables in the Vomiting group. Moreover, the survival time was the longest in the Vomiting group among dogs with CE. These findings are of clinical significance as they indicate that presenting with vomiting without diarrhea may not only be helpful in differentiating FRE from the other types of CE, but also in predicting the prognosis.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that often requires long-term management of motor symptoms. Continuous infusion of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) has shown promising results in alleviating motor fluctuations and improving quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transgastric jejunostomy (PEG-J) as a delivery method for LCIG in a cohort of 43 PD patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-three PD patients who were candidates for LCIG therapy underwent transgastric jejunostomy to facilitate continuous infusion of LCIG. The primary outcomes assessed were motor symptom improvement, reduction in motor fluctuations, and medication-related adverse events. Secondary outcomes included changes in quality of life, dyskinesia severity, and healthcare resource utilization. RESULTS The results of this study demonstrated significant improvements in motor symptoms, reduction in motor fluctuations, and enhanced quality of life following PEG-J for LCIG infusion. The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with a low incidence of procedure-related complications. Notably, the use of PEG-J allowed for precise and continuous delivery of LCIG, minimizing variations in drug absorption and ensuring consistent therapeutic levels. CONCLUSIONS Transgastric jejunostomy (PEG-J) offers an effective approach for the continuous infusion of LCIG in Parkinson's disease treatment. This method provides a stable and reliable delivery system, leading to improved symptom control and enhanced quality of life for PD patients.

    Abstract Insulin resistance may lead to structural and functional abnormalities of the human brain. However, the mechanism by which insulin resistance impairs the brain remains elusive. In this study, we used two large neuroimaging databases to investigate the brain regions where insulin resistance was associated with the gray matter volume and to examine the resting-state functional connectivity between these brain regions and each hypothalamic nucleus. Insulin resistance was associated with reduced gray matter volume in the regions of the default-mode and limbic networks in the cerebral cortex in older adults. Resting-state functional connectivity was prominent between these networks and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, a hypothalamic interface connecting functionally with the cerebral cortex. Furthermore, we found a significant correlation in these networks between insulin resistance-related gray matter volume reduction and network paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus resting-state functional connectivity. These results suggest that insulin resistance-related gray matter volume reduction in the default-mode and limbic networks emerged through metabolic homeostasis mechanisms in the hypothalamus.

    Abstract A pro-inflammatory role of interleukin (IL)-15 and IL-15 receptor (R) in chronic intestinal inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel disease, has been reported in humans. However, the contribution of IL-15 signaling in the pathogenesis of canine chronic enteropathy (CE) remains unclear. Therefore, as a first step in elucidating the importance of IL-15 signaling in canine CE, we measured the mRNA expression of IL-15 and IL-15R subunits, including IL-15Rα, IL-15Rβ, and IL-15Rγ, in the duodenal and colonic mucosae of healthy dogs and those with CE, including food-responsive enteropathy (FRE), antibiotic-responsive enteropathy (ARE), and immunosuppressant-responsive enteropathy (IRE). Real-time PCR analysis revealed significantly lower IL-15Rα mRNA expression levels in the duodenal mucosa of dogs with IRE compared to healthy dogs. In contrast, the mRNA expression levels of IL-15, IL-15Rβ, and IL-15Rγ in the duodenal mucosa and IL-15, IL-15Rα, IL-15Rβ, and IL-15Rγ in the colonic mucosa did not differ among healthy dogs and those with FRE, ARE, or IRE. These findings suggest that decreased mRNA expression of IL-15Rα might be involved in the pathogenesis of duodenitis in dogs with IRE. Moreover, even in canine CE, IL-15 signaling appears to play different roles in duodenitis and colitis in dogs with FRE, ARE, and IRE. However, there were no correlations between the gene expression levels of IL-15Rα and clinical severity or histopathological scores in the duodenum of dogs with IRE. Further studies are necessary to investigate the IL-15Rα protein localization and to determine how impaired IL-15Rα expression contributes to the development of duodenitis in dogs with IRE.
