Purpose: A short period of disuse of 1-2 weeks due to factors such as illness or injury can lead to muscle atrophy, affecting both athletic performance and health. Recent research has shown that uridine 5'-monophosphate (5'-UMP) can counteract disuse-induced muscle atrophy by increasing PGC-1α expression and inhibiting atrogin-1 expression. However, the effect of 5'-UMP on disuse muscle atrophy in humans remains unknown. Therefore, the aimed of this study was to explore the effects of 5'-UMP supplementation during detraining on short-term disuse muscle atrophy in healthy men. Methods: Following a 6-week resistance training program on upper arm, healthy men were randomized to either a UMP group (n = 11) or a placebo group (n = 10), taking their respective supplements during the 2-week detraining period. Muscle thickness, an indicator of muscle hypertrophy and atrophy, was measured at 3 positions (MT50, MT60, and MT70) at baseline, 1 week, and 2 weeks after detraining. Results: Both groups showed a significant decrease in muscle thickness at MT70. The relative decrease was greater in the placebo group (2.4 ± 2.8%) than in the UMP group (0.0 ± 2.0%), significantly (p = 0.034) at 1 week. However, no significant difference was observed at MT50 and MT60. Conclusion: After the hypertrophy, 5'-UMP may prevent muscle atrophy due to the detraining within the first week.

Background: The Y-Balance Test (YBT), especially the posteromedial (PM) reach direction (PM-YBT), is able to identify dynamic postural control deficits in those who have ankle instability. However, there still exists a need to understand how sensorimotor function at the ankle explains the performance during the PM-YBT. Hypothesis/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ability to accurately control eccentric ankle torque explained PM-YBT performance. It was hypothesized that eccentric dorsiflexion/plantarflexion torque control would be positively related to the maximum reach distance (MRD) of PM-YBT. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twelve healthy subjects performed the PM-YBT, maximum voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) for both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion muscle strength, and then the torque control testing of the ankle. The torque control testing provided a target torque level on a screen in front of the subject and passive rotations of the ankle joint in the sagittal plane at 10 deg/sec between plantarflexion to dorsiflexion. Subjects were then instructed to eccentrically contract the dorsiflexors and plantar flexors to generate torque while the ankle joint rotated. The accuracy of torque control during eccentric dorsiflexion and plantarflexion by calculating absolute errors, the area between the target torque and the produced torque were evaluated. Tibialis anterior and soleus muscle activities were simultaneously recorded during testing. A step-wise linear regression model was used to determine the best model predicted the MRD of the PM-YBT (PM-MRD). Results: A step-wise linear regression developed a model explaining only eccentric dorsiflexion torque control predicted higher PM-MRD score (R2 = 44%, F1,10 = 7.94, ß = -0.67, p = 0.02). Conclusion: The accuracy of torque control during eccentric dorsiflexion predicts better performance in the PM-YBT. Level of Evidence: 3b.

BACKGROUND: Urinary levels of N-acetyl-ß-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), α1-microglobulin (α1-MG), and ß2-microglobulin (ß2-MG) are measured as markers of renal tubular damage. We previously determined normal values for these urine biochemical examinations in healthy children over 3 years old. However, the values are not applicable to children younger than 2 years old, and children less than 1 year old, in particular, seem to show very high levels for all these markers. Hence, as normal values for children below 2 years old remain unclear, we determined the normal values for urinary biochemical markers in this age group. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fresh urine samples were obtained from 293 healthy children (from newborns to 2-year-old children). All the samples were subjected to normal urinalysis. NAG, α1-MG, ß2-MG, and creatinine (Cr) levels in extracted samples were measured immediately in the central laboratory at Kanazawa Medical Center. RESULTS: The normal values for each biomarker in children below 2 years of age were determined. Additionally, urinary α1-MG levels were observed to decrease most rapidly with age, almost reaching the level at ≥ 3 years by 6 months after birth. CONCLUSION: Renal tubular function can be evaluated in children < 3 years old using the normal values. Further, the most stable and useful urinary marker from early infancy seems to be urinary α1-MG.

PURPOSE: Foreign bodies such as a surgical gauze can be retained in the body after surgery and in some cases cannot be detected by postoperative radiography. The aim of this study was to develop an object detection model capable of postsurgical detection of retained gauze in the body. The object detection model used deep learning using abdominal radiographs, and a phantom study was performed to evaluate the ability of the model to automatically detect retained surgical gauze. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The object detection model was constructed using a Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) 300. In total, 268 abdominal phantom images were used: 180 gauze images were used as training data, 20 gauze images were used as validation data, and an additional 34 gauze images and 34 nongauze images were used as test data. To evaluate the performance of the object detection model, a confusion matrix was created and the accuracy and sensitivity were calculated. RESULT: True-positive (TP) rate, true-negative (TN) rate, false-positive (FP) rate, and false-negative (FN) rate were 0.92, 1.00, 0.00, and 0.08, respectively. Accuracy was 0.96, and sensitivity was 0.92. CONCLUSION: The object detection model could detect surgical gauze on abdominal phantom images with a high accuracy and sensitivity.

BACKGROUND: The gold standard for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) in children is the finding of both pyuria (P) and bacteriuria (B); however, some APN patients have neither of these findings [APN(P(-);B(-))]. METHODS: In this study, we investigated APN patients who visited our hospital over 14 years to identify specific clinical characteristics of APN(P(-);B(-)). RESULTS: A total of 171 APN patients were included in the study, and of these 29 were APN(P(-);B(-)). Of the APN(P(-);B(-)) patients, 25.9% had vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), the same percentage as the APN(P(+);B(+)) patients, and 69.0% of APN(P(-);B(-)) patients had already taken antibiotics before diagnosis. APN(P(-);B(-)) patients were older and had a longer duration between onset of fever and diagnosis than the patients with pyuria and/or bacteriuria. In addition, they showed higher C-reactive protein levels. APN(P(-);B(-)) patients had high levels of urinary α-1 microglobulin and urinary ß-2 microglobulin. CONCLUSIONS: APN is difficult to diagnose in febrile patients who display neither pyuria nor bacteriuria, but as these patients have the same risk for VUR as APN patients with pyuria and bacteriuria, a detailed history establishing the clinical course as well as urinary chemistry investigations, may assist in diagnosis.

Mandibular advancement in the supine position may influence swallowing during dental treatment under intravenous sedation. This study investigated the influence of mandibular advancement in the supine position on swallowing ability, compared with head extension and mouth opening. The water swallowing test was performed in 13 healthy, awake, supine, adult subjects under four head and mandibular positions. An electromyogram of the suprahyoid muscles was recorded; the duration and peak amplitude were examined. A greater volume of water remained in the mouth during mouth opening and mandibular advancement relative to the neutral position; the volume in the mandibular advancement position was larger and smaller than that in the head extension position and during mouth opening, respectively. The duration of the electromyogram in the head extension position was longer than that in the mandibular advancement position, without differences in the amplitude. Thus, swallowing ability in the supine position was more impaired with mandibular advancement, relative to neutral and head extension positions, but less than that observed with mouth opening. Although unconfirmed by electromyogram, our findings suggest that head extension might improve airway patency by reducing the impairment of swallowing ability compared with mandibular advancement.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to validate our previously reported prediction technique for uncuffed tracheal tube (TT) sizes in children younger than 2 years of age based on a calculated outer diameter (ODCal, mm) in each patient according to the regression equation ODCal = 0.00223 × age (day) + 4.88 and to investigate a better method to select initial TT sizes to decrease re-intubation frequency, especially since large tubes can damage the trachea. METHODS: We included patients younger than 2 years of age who underwent oral surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation between July 2011 and December 2016 at the Osaka University Dental Hospital. The OD of the actual TT and the age in days were extracted from anesthesia records. Agreement rates, estimated numbers of required tubes, and size reduction frequencies were compared to obtain recommended OD (ODRec) values in 2 selection groups: "average selection" in the range "nearest to the ODCal value (ODCal - 0.35 < ODRec ≤ ODCal + 0.35)" and "safe selection" in the range "nearest to the value below ODCal (ODCal - 0.7 < ODRec ≤ ODCal)". RESULTS: The agreement rates for an ODRec in the average selection and safe selection groups were 60.8 and 55.1%, respectively (P = 0.001). The estimated number of required tubes per patient were 1.40 ± 0.51 and 1.47 ± 0.55 (P < 0.001), respectively. The estimated frequencies of size reductions were 13.3 and 4.0% (P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Because the size reduction frequency is lower despite a slightly higher number of required TTs, selecting an ODRec based on "safe selection" parameters is desirable to avoid complications due to intubation with larger TTs.

BACKGROUND: Anaphylaxis is difficult to diagnose in the absence of skin or mucosal signs and symptoms. We report two cases of anaphylaxis under general anesthesia, in which the initial presentation was in the form of respiratory signs, followed by skin manifestations 10-15 min later. Diagnosis of anaphylaxis was delayed because skin symptoms were absent early on in the presentation. CASE PRESENTATION: In the first case, a 23-year-old male patient with jaw deformity was scheduled to undergo maxillary alveolar osteotomy. After intubation, auscultation indicated a sudden decrease in breath sounds, together with severe hypotension. Approximately 10 min later, flushing of the skin and urticaria on the thigh appeared and spread widely throughout the body. In the second case, a 21-year-old female patient with jaw deformity was scheduled to undergo maxillomandibular osteotomy. Twenty minutes after the start of dextran infusion, her lungs suddenly became difficult to ventilate, and oxygen saturation decreased to 90%. Approximately 15 min later, flushing of the skin and urticaria were observed. CONCLUSION: In both cases, there was a time lag between the appearance of respiratory and skin symptoms, which resulted in a delay in the diagnosis, and hence, treatment of anaphylaxis. Our experience highlights the fact that it is difficult to diagnose anaphylaxis under general anesthesia.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To identify airway management and tracheal intubation techniques for glossopexy in infants with preexisting airway obstruction under general anesthesia. DESIGN: Retrospective, observational study. SETTINGS: Operating room of a university hospital between January 2003 and March 2015. All operations were performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. PATIENTS: Thirteen patients who received general anesthesia for glossopexy and reversal after 7 months. MEASUREMENTS: The medical records of these infants were retrospectively examined to evaluate the following: age, sex, height and weight at surgery, preoperative airway status, tracheal intubation route (oral or nasal), method for inducing general anesthesia, method for establishing the airway during mask ventilation, apparatus used for tracheal intubation, Cormack-Lehane classification when using a Macintosh laryngoscope and video laryngoscope, and the need for airway placement after extubation. RESULTS: Prone positioning and/or an airway of some kind before surgery were required in 38.5% of infants needing glossopexy. Difficult mask ventilation was common, occurring in 50% of the patients, and the incidence of airway placement during mask ventilation was significantly higher in infants with preoperative complete or incomplete obstruction (100%) than in infants with snoring (25%). Of these high-risk infants, 25% could not be intubated with a direct laryngoscope or Glidescope Cobalt and required fiberoptic intubation. CONCLUSION: There are severe cases of infants with difficult mask ventilation and difficult tracheal intubation in which a fiberscope is required because video laryngoscopy fails to improve the view of the larynx.

Background Although the peripheral and central sensitizations of trigeminal nervous system may be one of the important factors of migraine, the precise mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we examined the influence of the sensitization of the second division of the trigeminal nerve (V2) by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the infraorbital nerve (ION) on migraine headache, using the capsaicin-induced migraine model. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups: (a) sham surgery and topical-dural vehicle application (Sham + Vehicle) group, (b) CCI-ION and topical-dural vehicle application (CCI-ION + Vehicle) group, (c) sham surgery and topical-dural capsaicin application (Sham + Capsaicin) group, (d) CCI-ION and topical-dural capsaicin application (CCI-ION + Capsaicin) group. Behavioral testing and immunohistochemical staining were performed. Results In the behavioral test, the Sham + Capsaicin group showed significantly longer duration of immobilization and shorter duration of exploration compared with the Sham + Vehicle group, which is similar to clinical features of migraine patients. Moreover, CCI-ION enhanced these effects in the CCI-ION + Capsaicin group. Immunohistochemical staining for phospho-extracellular signal-related kinase (pERK) in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) containing first and second divisions of the trigeminal nerve and the trigeminocervical complex (TCC) revealed that pERK expression was significantly increased in the CCI-ION + Capsaicin group compared with the other groups. However, comparing between effects of the peripheral and central sensitizations (in the TG and TCC), from our results, peripheral sensitization would play a much less or not significant role. Conclusions These data demonstrate that the sensitization of V2 could influence the activation and the sensitization of the first division of the trigeminal nerve in the TCC, subsequently exacerbating pain sensation and pain-related behaviors. We have shown for the first time that the existence of the central sensitization of V2 can be an exacerbating factor for migraine related nociceptive thresholds/activation.

GLI family zinc finger proteins are transcriptional effectors of the sonic hedgehog signaling pathway. GLI regulates gene expression and repression at various phases of embryonic morphogenesis. In humans, 4 GLI genes are known, and GLI2 (2q14.2) and GLI3 (7p14.1) mutations cause different syndromes. Here, we present 2 distinctive cases with a chromosomal microdeletion in one of these genes. Patient 1 is a 14-year-old girl with Culler-Jones syndrome. She manifested short stature, cleft palate, and mild intellectual/social disability caused by a 6.6-Mb deletion of 2q14.1q14.3. Patient 2 is a 2-year-old girl with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly contiguous gene deletion syndrome. She manifested macrocephaly, preaxial polysyndactyly, psychomotor developmental delay, cerebral cavernous malformations, and glucose intolerance due to a 6.2-Mb deletion of 7p14.1p12.3 which included GLI3, GCK, and CCM2. Each patient manifests a different phenotype which is associated with different functions of each GLI gene and different effects of the chromosomal contiguous gene deletion. We summarize the phenotypic extent of GLI2/3 syndromes in the literature and determine that these 2 syndromes manifest opposite features to a certain extent, such as midface hypoplasia or macrocephaly, and anterior or posterior side of polydactyly. We propose a GLIA/R balance model that may explain these findings.

Intravenous sedation with propofol is often administered to anxious patients in dental practice. Pain on injection of propofol is a common adverse effect. This study aimed to determine the age-adjusted doses of midazolam required to erase memory of vascular pain of propofol administration and assess whether the Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) after the pretreatment of midazolam was useful to predict amnesia of the vascular pain of propofol administration. A total of 246 patients with dental phobia requiring dental treatment under intravenous sedation were included. Patients were classified according to their age: 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. Three minutes after administration of a predetermined dose of midazolam, propofol was infused continuously. After completion of the dental procedure, patients were interviewed about the memory of any pain or discomfort in the injection site or forearm. The dosage of midazolam was determined using the Dixon up-down method. The first patient was administered 0.03 mg/kg, and if memory of vascular pain remained, the dosage was increased by 0.01 mg/kg for the next patient, and then if the memory was erased, the dosage was decreased by 0.01 mg/kg. The effective dosage of midazolam in 95% of each age group for erasing the memory of propofol vascular pain (ED95) was determined using logistic analysis. The accuracy of RSS to predict the amnesia of injection pain was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The ED95 of midazolam to erase the memory of propofol vascular pain was 0.061 mg/kg in patients in their 30s, 0.049 mg/kg in patients in their 40s, 0.033 mg/kg in patients in their 50s, and 0.033 mg/kg in patients in their 60s. The area under the ROC curve was 0.31. The ED95 of midazolam required to erase the memory of propofol vascular pain demonstrated a downward trend with age. On the other hand, it was impossible to predict the amnesia of propofol vascular pain using the RSS.

BACKGROUND: The use of midazolam for dental care in patients with intellectual disability is poorly documented. The purpose of this study was to determine which method of premedication is more effective for these patients, 0.15 mg/kg of intramuscular midazolam or 0.3 mg/kg of oral midazolam. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was designed and implemented as a non-randomized retrospective study. The study population was composed of patients with intellectual disability who required dental treatment under ambulatory general anesthesia from August 2009 through April 2013. Patients were administered 0.15 mg/kg of midazolam intramuscularly (Group IM) or 0.3 mg/kg orally (Group PO). The predictor variable was the method of midazolam administration. The outcome variables measured were Observer's Assessment of Alertness/ Sedation (OAA/S) Scale scores, the level of cooperation when entering the operation room and for venous cannulation, post-anesthetic agitation and recovery time. RESULTS: Midazolam was administered intramuscularly in 23 patients and orally in 21 patients. More patients were successfully sedated with no resistance behavior during venous cannulation in Group PO than in Group IM (p = 0.034). There were no differences in demographic data and other variables between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that oral premedication with 0.3 mg/kg of midazolam is more effective than 0.15 mg/kg of midazolam administered intramuscularly, in terms of patient resistance to venous cannulation. If both oral and intramuscular routes of midazolam are acceptable in intellectually disabled patients, the oral route is recommended

OBJECTIVES: In infants, there is a high incidence of emergence agitation (EA) after sevoflurane (Sev) anesthesia. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine (Dex) administration would reduce the incidence and severity of EA after Sev-based anesthesia in infants undergoing palatoplasty. METHODS: A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted with 70 patients undergoing palatoplasty, aged 10-14 months. Infants were randomly allocated into two groups: Dex (n = 35) and saline (n = 35). In the Dex group, Dex (6 µg/kg/h) was administered approximately 10 min before the end of the surgery for 10 min, followed by 0.4 µg/kg/h until 5 min after extubation. In the saline group, an equivalent amount of saline was administered in a similar manner. After the surgery, patients were transferred to the postanesthetic care unit (PACU). The infant's behavior and pain were assessed with scoring system for EA (5-point rating scale) and pain scale (PS; 10-point rating scale), respectively. EA and PS were estimated at six time points (after extubation, leaving the operating room, 0, 30, 60, and 120 min after arrival in PACU). RESULTS: EA and PS scores were significantly lower in the Dex group than in the saline group from extubation to 120 min after arrival in PACU. CONCLUSIONS: Dex administration has the advantage of a reduced EA and PS without any adverse effects. Dex provided satisfactory recovery in infants undergoing palatoplasty.
OBJETIVOS: Em crianças, é elevada a incidência de surgimento de agitação (SA) em seguida à anestesia com sevoflurano (Sev). Este estudo teve como objetivo testar a hipótese de que a administração de dexmedetomidina (Dex) reduziria a incidência e a gravidade do SA após anestesia com Sev em lactentes submetidos à palatoplastia. MÉTODOS: Estudo clínico prospectivo randomizado, feito com 70 pacientes submetidos a uma palatoplastia, com 10-14 meses. As crianças foram divididas randomicamente em dois grupos: Dex (n = 35) e solução salina (n = 35). No grupo de Dex, Dex (6 µg/kg/h) foi administrada cerca de 10 minutos antes do fim da cirurgia durante 10 minutos, seguida de 0,4 µg/kg/h até 5 minutos após a extubação. No grupo de solução salina, uma quantidade equivalente de salina foi administrada com o mesmo esquema de dosagem. Após a cirurgia, os pacientes foram transferidos para a unidade de cuidados pós-anestésicos (UCPA). O comportamento e a dor dos bebês foram avaliados com um sistema de pontuação para SA (escala de classificação de 5 pontos) e com uma escala de dor (ED; escala de classificação de 10 pontos), respectivamente. SA e ED foram estimados em seis pontos cronológicos (após a extubação, ao deixar a sala de cirurgia e 0, 30, 60 e 120 minutos após a chegada à UCPA). RESULTADOS: Os escores SA e ED foram significativamente menores no grupo Dex versus grupo salina, desde a extubação até 120 minutos após a chegada à UCPA. CONCLUSÕES: A administração de Dex tem a vantagem de uma redução no SA e na ED, sem quaisquer efeitos adversos. Dex proporcionou uma recuperação satisfatória em lactentes submetidos à palatoplastia.
