    Abstract Background: Sarcopenia is assessed by several methods, including dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which provide a height-adjusted skeletal muscle index (H-SMI). A SMI 2 standard deviation below the young adult reference [1] combined with low muscle strength or performance is used to identify sarcopenia. As height declines with age, H-SMI may underestimate low skeletal muscle mass in the older population. Our study aims to evaluate an alternative SMI and to examine its relationship to grip strength in a group of Australian women.
    Methods: Women from two cohorts were analysed. 2041 women had body composition data (112 had calf circumference, 137 had leg length measurements) without grip strength, and 49 women had grip strength measured (40 had body composition data).The relationship between leg length-adjusted SMI (LL-SMI) to grip strength and anthropometric variables to skeletal muscle mass by DEXA were examined by linear regression analysis.
    Results: Cohort 1: Older women were compared to younger women. Older women were shorter but leg length did not differ between different age groups. H-SMI was not different between groups (P = 0.528). LL-SMI was lower in older women (P = 0.002). Cohort 2: LL-SMI was significantly associated with grip strength (P = 0.048) after adjustment for age.
    Conclusion: Older women were shorter, while leg length did not differ from the younger group. H-SMI may obscure and may underestimate low muscle mass in older individuals. LL-SMI may be a better measure of skeletal muscle mass in older individuals. These alternate SMI would benefit from further exploration in older individuals.

    Abstract Background: Recently published European Society for Phenylketonuria (ESPKU) guidelines have recommended a lifelong diet with phenylalanine (Phe) control ≤ 600 μmol/L for phenylketonuria (PKU) patients. This study aimed to identify whether PKU adult patients are at a higher risk of mental health diagnoses if their 2-year average Phe level is higher than the ESPKU European guidelines. Published studies identified by a literature review showed that related studies have been published in American and European PKU study populations but not in the United Kingdom (UK) study populations. Previous studies also involved a smaller number of participants due to this being a rare disease.
    Results: We undertook a retrospective audit at a single large PKU centre in the UK. 244 adult PKU patients at the centre were included, 220 of which had a recorded Phe level. Approximately 75% of the patients in this study did not meet the ESPKU European guidelines for Phe control. A systematic search of the electronic patient record was undertaken looking for mental health diagnoses. Compared to two-year average Phe levels ≤ 600 μmol/L, PKU adult patients with two-year average Phe levels > 600 μmol/L were more likely to have diagnoses of low mood, depression, anxiety, or mood swings, but only low mood reached statistical significance (p < 0.05).
    Conclusions: PKU patients with two-year average Phenylalanine levels greater than ESPKU guidelines may be at greater risk of mental health diagnoses and symptoms. Many of these adult PKU patients will be lost to follow-up, and therefore may be receiving treatment for mental health conditions in the community. Multicentre UK studies and international collaborations are required to overcome low participant numbers in the study of this rare disease.

    Abstract Accurate and precise body composition estimates, notably of total body adiposity, are a vital component of in vivo physiology and metabolic studies. The reference against which other body composition approaches are usually validated or calibrated is the family of methods referred to as multicomponent "body density" models. These models quantify three to six components by combining measurements of body mass, body volume, total body water, and osseous mineral mass. Body mass is measured with calibrated scales, volume with underwater weighing or air-displacement plethysmography, total body water with isotope dilution, and osseous mineral mass by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body density is then calculated for use in model as body mass/volume. Studies over the past decade introduced a new approach to quantifying body volume that relies on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurements, an advance that simplifies multicomponent density model development by eliminating the need for underwater weighing or air-displacement plethysmography systems when these technologies are unavailable and makes these methods more accessible to research and clinical programs. This review critically examines these new dual-energy X-ray approaches for quantifying body volume and density, explores their shortcomings, suggests alternative derivation approaches, and introduces ideas for potential future research studies.

    Abstract Objective: To show that body composition of intensive care unit patients can be analysed with existing computed tomography (CT) images. We planned to describe changes in visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA) and muscle area (MA) on analysis of specific CT images during acute pancreatitis requiring an ICU admission.
    Design, setting and participants: Retrospective analysis of body composition using existing CT images, in an ICU of a tertiary university-affiliated hospital 2005-2010, examining 21 patients with acute pancreatitis and CT imaging on two separate occasions within their hospital admission.
    Main outcome measures: VFA, SFA, VFA:SFA ratio and MA. Medical records were hand searched to identify ICU and hospital mortalities and other clinical outcomes.
    Results: Three women and 18 men had 84 CT scans analysed, from the level of the right renal hilum and L3 vertebra. The median patient age was 52 years. The median time between CT scans was 9.4 days and the mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score was 20.2. ICU mortality was 9%. Analysis showed a decrease in VFA from a median of 229.2 cm2 to 202.1 cm2 (P < 0.01) and a decrease in VFA:SFA ratio from a median of 1.20 to 1.05 (P < 0.01) during the acute illness. MA did not change significantly.
    Conclusions: The body composition of ICU patients can be analysed through existing CT images. Pancreatitis requiring ICU admission causes a 12% decrease in VFA.

    Abstract In contrast to injuries in the central nervous system, injured peripheral neurons will regenerate their axons. However, axotomized motoneurons progressively lose their ability to regenerate their axons, following peripheral nerve injury often resulting in very poor recovery of motor function. A decline in neurotrophic support may be partially responsible for this effect. The initial upregulation of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by Schwann cells of the distal nerve stump after nerve injury has led to the speculation that they are important for motor axonal regeneration. However, few experiments directly measure the effects of exogenous BDNF or GDNF on motor axonal regeneration. This study provided the first direct and quantitative evidence that long-term continuous treatment with exogenous GDNF significantly increased the number of motoneurons which regenerate their axons, completely reversing the negative effects of chronic axotomy. The beneficial effect of GDNF was not dose-dependent. A combination of exogenous GDNF and BDNF on motor axonal regeneration was significantly greater than either factor alone, and this effect was most pronounced following long-term continuous treatment. The ability of GDNF, either alone or in combination with BDNF, to increase the number of motoneurons that regenerated their axons correlated well with an increase in axon sprouting within the distal nerve stump. Thus long-term continuous treatment with neurotrophic factors, such as GDNF and BDNF, can be used as a viable treatment to sustain motor axon regeneration.

    Abstract The time-dependent decline in the ability of motoneurons to regenerate their axons after axotomy is one of the principle contributing factors to poor functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury. A decline in neurotrophic support may be partially responsible for this effect. The up-regulation of BDNF after injury, both in denervated Schwann cells and in axotomized motoneurons, suggests its importance in motor axonal regeneration. In adult female Sprague-Dawley rats, we counted the number of freshly injured or chronically axotomized tibial motoneurons that had regenerated their axons 1 month after surgical suture to a freshly denervated common peroneal distal nerve stump. Motor axonal regeneration was evaluated by applying fluorescent retrograde neurotracers to the common peroneal nerve 20 mm distal to the injury site and counting the number of fluorescently labelled motoneurons in the T11-L1 region of the spinal cord. We report that low doses of BDNF (0.5-2 microg/day for 28 days) had no detectable effect on axonal regeneration after immediate nerve repair, but promoted axonal regeneration of motoneurons whose regenerative capacity was reduced by chronic axotomy 2 months prior to nerve resuture, completely reversing the negative effects of delayed nerve repair. In contrast, high doses of BDNF (12-20 microg/day for 28 days) significantly inhibited motor axonal regeneration, after both immediate nerve repair and nerve repair after chronic axotomy. The inhibitory actions of high dose BDNF could be reversed by functional blockade of p75 receptors, thus implicating these receptors as mediators of the inhibitory effects of high dose exogenous BDNF.

    Abstract Context: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PCa) leads to a selective loss of leg muscle function during walking. Rodent models of ADT have demonstrated that the levator ani is exquisitely androgen sensitive.
    Objective: To determine whether the high androgen responsiveness of the levator ani muscle documented in rodents is evolutionarily conserved and ADT is associated with a selective loss in leg muscle volume.
    Design: Prospective longitudinal case-control study.
    Setting: Tertiary referral hospital.
    Participants: Thirty-four men newly beginning ADT and 29 age-matched controls with PCa.
    Main outcome measures: The muscle volumes in liters of the levator ani and primary muscles involved in walking (iliopsoas, quadriceps, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, calf).
    Results: Compared with controls, during a 12-month period, men receiving ADT experienced a mean reduction in total testosterone from 14.1 to 0.4 nmol/L and demonstrated greater decreases in levator ani [mean adjusted difference (MAD), -0.005 L; 95% CI, -0.007 to -0.002; P = 0.002; -16% of initial median value], gluteus maximus (MAD, -0.032 L; 95% CI, -0.063 to -0.002; P = 0.017; -5% of initial median value), iliopsoas (MAD, -0.005 L; 95% CI, -0.001 to 0.000; P = 0.013; -5% of initial median value), and quadriceps (MAD, -0.050 L; 95% CI, -0.088 to -0.012; P = 0.031; -3% of initial median value). No substantial differences were observed in the gluteus medius and calf muscles.
    Conclusions: The androgen responsiveness of the levator ani appears to be evolutionarily conserved in humans. ADT selectively decreases the volume of muscles that support body weight. Interventional strategies to reduce ADT-related sarcopenia and sexual dysfunction should assess whether targeting these muscle groups, including the pelvic floor, will improve clinical outcomes.

    Abstract Neurotrophic factors that support neuronal survival are implicated in axonal regeneration after injury. Specifically, a strong role for BDNF in motor axonal regeneration has been suggested based on its pattern of expression after injury, as well as the expression of its receptors, trkB and p75. Despite considerable in vitro evidence, which demonstrate specific and distinct physiological responses elicited following trkB and p75 activation, relatively little is known about the function of these receptors in vivo. To investigate the roles of the trkB and p75 receptors in motor axonal regeneration, we have used a tibial (TIB)- common peroneal (CP) cross suture paradigm in p75 homozygous (-/-) knockout mice, trkB heterozygous (+/-) knockout mice, as well as in their wild-type controls. Contralateral intact TIB motoneurons, and axotomized TIB motoneurons that regenerated their axons 10 mm into the CP distal nerve stump were identified by fluorescent retrograde tracers and counted in the T11-L1 spinal segments. Regeneration was evaluated 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after nerve repair. Compared to wild-type animals, there are significantly fewer intact TIB motoneurons in p75 (-/-), but not trkB (+/-) mice. The number of motoneurons that regenerated their axons was significantly increased in the p75 (-/-) knockout mice, but significantly attenuated in the trkB (+/-) mice compared to wild-type controls. These results suggest that p75 is important for motoneuronal survival during development, but p75 expression after injury serves to inhibit motor axonal regeneration. In addition, full expression of trkB is critical for complete axonal regeneration to proceed.
