    Abstract Objective: Streptococcus mutans (SM) with the collagen-binding protein Cnm is a unique member of the oral resident flora because it causes hemorrhagic vascular disorders. In the multicenter study, we examined the relationship between Cnm-positive SM (CP-SM) and intracranial aneurysm (IA) rupture, which remains unknown.
    Methods: Between May 2013 and June 2018, we collected whole saliva samples from 431 patients with ruptured IAs (RIAs) and 470 patients with unruptured IAs (UIAs). Data were collected on age, sex, smoking and drinking habits, family history of subarachnoid hemorrhage, aneurysm size, number of teeth, and comorbidities of lifestyle disease.
    Results: There was no difference in the positivity rate of patients with CP-SM between the patients with RIAs (17.2%) and those with UIAs (19.4%). The rate of positivity for CP-SM was significantly higher in all IAs <5 mm than in those ≥10 mm in diameter (P=0.0304). In the entire cohort, the rate of positivity for CP-SM was lower in larger aneurysms than in smaller aneurysms (P=0.0393).
    Conclusions: The rate of positivity for CP-SM was lower among patients with large UIAs. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that CP-SM plays a role in the formation of vulnerable IAs that tend to rupture before becoming larger.

    Abstract Introduction: Iron accumulation in vessel walls induces oxidative stress and inflammation, which can cause cerebrovascular damage, vascular wall degeneration, and intracranial aneurysmal formation, growth, and rupture. Subarachnoid hemorrhage from intracranial aneurysm rupture results in significant morbidity and mortality. This study used a mouse model of intracranial aneurysm to evaluate the effect of dietary iron restriction on aneurysm formation and rupture.
    Methods: Intracranial aneurysms were induced using deoxycorticosterone acetate-salt-induced hypertension and a single injection of elastase into the cerebrospinal fluid of the basal cistern. Mice were fed an iron-restricted diet (n = 23) or a normal diet (n = 25). Aneurysm rupture was detected by neurological symptoms, while the presence of intracranial aneurysm with subarachnoid hemorrhage was confirmed by post-mortem examination.
    Results: The aneurysmal rupture rate was significantly lower in iron-restricted diet mice (37%) compared with normal diet mice (76%; p < 0.05). Serum oxidative stress, iron accumulation, macrophage infiltration, and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in the vascular wall were lower in iron-restricted diet mice (p < 0.01). The areas of iron positivity were similar to the areas of CD68 positivity and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in both normal diet and iron-restricted diet mouse aneurysms.
    Conclusions: These findings suggest that iron is involved in intracranial aneurysm rupture via vascular inflammation and oxidative stress. Dietary iron restriction may have a promising role in preventing intracranial aneurysm rupture.

    Abstract Purpose: Volatile anesthetics affect the circadian rhythm of mammals, although the effects of different types of anesthetics are unclear. Here, we anesthetized mice using several volatile anesthetics at two different times during the day. Our objective was to compare the effects of these anesthetics on circadian rhythm.
    Methods: Male adult C57BL/6 J mice were divided into eight groups (n = 8 each) based on the anesthetic (sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, or no anesthesia) and anesthesia time (Zeitgeber time [ZT] 6-12 or ZT18-24). Mice were anesthetized for 6 h using a 0.5 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) dose under constant dark conditions. The difference between the start of the active phase before and after anesthesia was measured as a phase shift. Clock genes were measured by polymerase chain reaction in suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) samples removed from mouse brain after anesthesia (n = 8-9 each).
    Results: Phase shift after anesthesia at ZT6-12 using sevoflurane (- 0.49 h) was smaller compared with desflurane (- 1.1 h) and isoflurane (- 1.4 h) (p < 0.05). Clock mRNA (ZT6-12, p < 0.05) and Per2 mRNA (ZT18-24, p < 0.05) expression were different between the groups after anesthesia.
    Conclusion: 0.5 MAC sevoflurane anesthesia administered during the late inactive to early active phase has less impact on the phase shift of circadian rhythm than desflurane and isoflurane. This may be due to differences in the effects of volatile anesthetics on the expression of clock genes in the SCN, the master clock of the circadian rhythm.

    Abstract Introduction: Exercise therapies during rehabilitation significantly promote recovery from various deficits after cerebral infarction, which is mediated by neuronal plasticity with distinct inputs. Although adult neurogenesis can also be modulated by neuronal activity before synaptogenesis, how distinct exercises contribute to the neurological reorganization of the injured cerebral cortex remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the effects of different exercise therapies on motor recovery and neuronal reorganization after photochemically induced focal cerebral infarction.
    Methods: Here, we examined the effects of three different exercises-(a) forced lower-intensity and (b) higher-intensity treadmill exercises, and (c) voluntary exercise with wheel running-on motor recovery and adult neurogenesis in a rat model of focal cerebral infarction. Photochemically induced thrombosis (PIT) was used to generate focal infarction in rats that was mostly confined to their motor cortices.
    Results: Beam walking tests showed that recovery after PIT-induced cortical infarction differed in acute and chronic stages and was influenced by the type of exercise. Furthermore, forced low-intensity training had more positive effects on functional recovery than other exercises or control. To evaluate the production of newly generated cells including de novo neurogenesis, we performed lineage analysis with BrdU labeling and immunofluorescence experiments. Lower-intensity treadmill exercise increased the number of BrdU/NeuN colabeled cells, but not total BrdU-retaining or BrdU/Sox2-colabeled cells, in the peri-infarct region of the ipsilateral cortex. In contrast, high-intensity treadmill or voluntary exercises had the opposite effects.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that neuronal maturation can be differently modulated by distinct exercises and that low-intensity treadmill exercise could result in more potent generation of mature neurons. This also suggests the possibility that the generation of neural stem/progenitor cells and differentiation might be modulated by rehabilitation-mediated neural plasticity.

    Abstract Desflurane is one of the most frequently used inhalational anesthetics in clinical practice. A circadian rhythm phase-shift after general anesthesia with sevoflurane or isoflurane has been reported in mice, but few studies have reported this effect with desflurane. In the present study, we examined the rest/activity rhythm of mice by counting the number of running wheel rotations, and we found that desflurane anesthesia caused a phase shift in the circadian rhythm that was dependent on the time of day of anesthesia. We also found that desflurane anesthesia altered the relative mRNA expression of four major clock genes (Per2, Bmal, Clock, and Cry1) in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). These results are important for elucidating the effects of desflurane on the SCN, which is the master clock for the mammalian circadian rhythm. Further studies on the relationship between anesthesia and circadian rhythm may lead to the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications related to circadian rhythms.
