Dietary protein intake is critical for maintaining an optimal muscle mass, especially among older individuals. Although protein supplementation during resistance training (RT) has been shown to further augment training-induced muscle mass in older individuals, the impact of daily variations in protein intake on training-induced muscle mass has not been explored thus far. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the dietary protein and amino acid intake and RT-induced muscle hypertrophy among older individuals. Ten healthy older men (n=10; mean age=69±2 y; body weight (BW)=61.5±2.2 kg; height=1.65±0.02 m) participated in progressive RT performed 3 times/wk for 12 wk. Body composition (using DXA) and nutritional assessments (using a 3-d dietary record) were performed before and after the training period. Leg lean mass (LLM) increased significantly (15.0±0.8 vs. 15.4±0.8 kg, p<0.05) after RT, with no change in dietary nutrient intake. The average dietary protein intake was 1.62±0.11 g/kg BW/d, while essential amino acids was 600±51 mg/kg BW/d. Although the correlation between the increase in LLM and dietary protein intake was not significant, a significant correlation was found between the increase in LLM and dietary essential amino acid (EAA) intake. Furthermore, there were significant correlations between the increase in LLM and protein as well as EAA (especially leucine) intake at breakfast among subjects with suboptimal protein intake (p<0.05). Our study findings indicate that dietary protein as well as EAA intake may be significant contributing factors in muscle hypertrophic response during RT among healthy older men.

Purpose : High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) is a new type of non-invasive respiratory support for acute respiratory failure patients. However, patients receiving HFNC often develop sleep disturbances. We therefore examined whether dexmedetomidine could preserve the sleep characteristics in patients who underwent HFNC. Patients and Methods : This was a pilot, randomized controlled study. We assigned critically ill patients treated with HFNC to receive dexmedetomidine (0.2 to 0.7 µg / kg / h, DEX group) or not (non-DEX group) at night (9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.). Polysomnograms were monitored during the study period. The primary outcomes were total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency and duration of stage 2 non-rapid eye movement (stage N2) sleep. Results : Of the 28 patients who underwent randomization, 24 were included in the final analysis (12 patients per group). Dexmedetomidine increased the TST (369 min vs. 119 min, p = 0.024) and sleep efficiency (68% vs. 22%, P = 0.024). The duration of stage N2 was increased in the DEX group compared with the non-DEX group, but this finding did not reach statistical significance. The incidences of respiratory depression and hemodynamic instability were similar between the two groups. Conclusions : In critically ill patients who underwent HFNC, dexmedetomidine may optimize the sleep quantity without any adverse events. J. Med. Invest. 69 : 266-272, August, 2022

We herein report a case of acute kidney injury (AKI) due to tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) after starting empagliflozin in a diabetic patient. The patient developed stage 1 AKI with proteinuria and elevated tubulointerstitial markers. A renal biopsy showed acute TIN with lymphocytic infiltration into the interstitium. The patient's renal function improved after discontinuation of empagliflozin and steroid administration. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor-induced AKI has been reported, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear, potentially because few patients with SGLT2-inhibitor-induced AKI have undergone a renal biopsy. We report the present case in the hope that it will help clarify the mechanism.

Background: After previous earthquakes, a high prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been reported. We examined DVT prevalence and risk factors in evacuees of the Kumamoto earthquakes by performing mobile DVT screening at various evacuation centers around the epicenter. Methods and Results: For 1 month after the Kumamoto earthquake on 14 April 2016, mobile DVT screening using portable ultrasonography (US) was performed at 80 evacuation centers. Questionnaires, physical examination, and US of the lower limb were carried out, and simple D-dimer measurements were undertaken for DVT-positive examinees. The total number of examinees was 1,673, of whom 178 (10.6%) had DVT. The prevalence of DVT seemed to be gradually decreasing in the screening period, but age, use of sleep medication, prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, leg edema, and lower leg varix were significantly higher in the DVT positive group than in the negative group. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, high age (≥70 years old), use of sleep medication, lower leg edema, and lower leg varix were significant predictors of DVT. In examinees with these 4 predictors, the DVT positive rate was 71.4%. Conclusions: In the first month after the Kumamoto earthquakes, DVT prevalence and severity, evaluated on D-dimer level, decreased with the passage of time. Mobile DVT screening indicated significant factors stratifying DVT risk in the evacuees.

Aim: Carriers of the reduced-function CYP2C19 allele receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel exhibit diminished platelet inhibition and an increased risk of events. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CYP2C19 gene variants on platelet function tests and coagulation and inflammatory biomarkers in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This prospective, observational, multicenter study enrolled 104 consecutive Japanese patients undergoing elective PCI. We examined the CYP2C19 genotype, platelet function tests, the levels of coagulation and inflammatory biomarkers and the serum levels of high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) before, immediately after and one, two and 28 days after PCI. Results: A total of 68 (65%) of the 104 enrolled patients were carriers of the CYP2C19 reducedfunction allele. On-clopidogrel platelet aggregation (PA), measured using light transmittance aggregometry and the VerifyNow® P2Y12 system, and the platelet reactivity index (PRI) were significantly higher at all time points in the carriers than in the noncarriers (p<0.05), whereas there were no differences in the levels of the coagulation and inflammatory biomarkers or serum hs-TnT. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses identified on-clopidogrel PA and PRI as being significant predictors of carriers of the CYP2C19 reduced-function allele. Conclusions: The present study suggests that platelet function tests, but not coagulation, inflammatory or cardiac biomarkers, are useful for identifying carriers of CYP2C19 reduced-function gene variants and monitoring the efficacy of DAPT in patients undergoing elective PCI.

Objective: Evaluation of intracranial stent placement by MRI suffers the problems of signal artifacts during time-of-flight MRA (TOF-MRA). Therefore, angiographic examination is required for detailed intravascular assessment of the stent placement site. Recently, 3D T1-turbo spin echo (3D-TSE) has been developed for evaluation of carotid artery stent placement. We investigated the use of the 3D-TSE imaging method for the evaluation of intracranial vascular stent placement.Methods: The subjects consisted of nine patients who underwent intracranial vascular stent placement between April 2015 and December 2019. Postoperatively, the lumens of the placed stents were measured by TOF-MRA, DSA, and 3D-TSE imaging. Analysis was performed by type of stent and placement site.Results: The stents used were Neuroform Atlas (3 patients), LVIS (3 patients), LVIS Jr (2 patients), and Integrity (1 patient). TOF-MRA of the stent placement site showed defects in the image or poor visualization in all nine patients, whereas 3D-TSE imaging visualized the lumen at the stent indwelling site in all patients. The blood vessel diameter measured by the DSA and 3D-TSE imaging exhibited positive correlations regardless of the stent type and placement site.Conclusions: 3D-TSE imaging allows visualization of the lumen of the site of an intracranial vascular stent, regardless of the type of stent or the vessel. Thus, this method may be useful for evaluating the vascular lumen of a lesion.

Combined measurements of Higgs boson production cross sections and branching fractions are presented. The combination is based on the analyses of the Higgs boson decay modes H→γγ, ZZ∗, WW∗, ττ, b¯b, μμ, searches for decays into invisible final states, and on measurements of off-shell Higgs boson production. Up to 79.8  fb−1 of proton–proton collision data collected at √s=13  TeV with the ATLAS detector are used. Results are presented for the gluon–gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion processes, and for associated production with vector bosons or top-quarks. The global signal strength is determined to be μ=1.11+0.09−0.08. The combined measurement yields an observed (expected) significance for the vector-boson fusion production process of 6.5σ (5.3σ). Measurements in kinematic regions defined within the simplified template cross section framework are also shown. The results are interpreted in terms of modifiers applied to the Standard Model couplings of the Higgs boson to other particles, and are used to set exclusion limits on parameters in two-Higgs-doublet models and in the simplified minimal supersymmetric Standard Model. No significant deviations from Standard Model predictions are observed.

Background:Both dexmedetomidine and hypothermia are known to reduce brain injury following ischemia. We examined whether a combination of dexmedetomidine and hypothermia reduce brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest in rats to a greater extent than either treatment. Methods:Male SD rats were assigned to one of four groups(n = 7 each);control (C, saline and temporal muscle temperature 37.5℃), dexmedetomidine (D, dexmedetomidine 10μg/kg and 37.5℃), hypothermia (H, saline and 35.0℃), and dexmedetomidine - hypothermia (DH, dexmedetomidine 10μg/kg and 35.0℃). Dexmedetomidine or saline was administered intraperitoneally 30 min before insult. Predetermined temperature was maintained from 30 min before asphyxia until 60 min after resuscitation. Cerebral ischemia was induced with asphyxia of 5 min, resulting in cardiac arrest of about 2 min. Rats were resuscitated by chest compression and intravenous epinephrine. Neurological score was assessed at 24, 48, and 72 hours after insult, and brain was fixed and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Results:Neurological scores were greater in groups H and DH than groups C and D at 24 hours after insult (P < 0.05), whereas they were similar at 48 and 72 hours. Percentages of intact neurons in hippocampal CA1 were greater in groups D, H, and DH than group C (P < 0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine and hypothermia improved histologic outcome compared with the control group after asphyxial cardiac arrest, whereas the combination of dexmedetomidine and hypothermia provided comparable neuroprotection with either of two therapies alone.
