Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea, a significant hypoxic condition, may exacerbate several orofacial pain conditions. The study aims to define the involvement of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in peripheral and central sensitization and in evoking orofacial mechanical allodynia under chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). METHODS Male rats were exposed to CIH. Orofacial mechanical allodynia was assessed using the eyeblink test and the two-bottle preference drinking test. The CGRP-immunoreactive neurons in the trigeminal ganglion (TG), CGRP-positive primary afferents projecting to laminae I-II of the trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc), and neural responses in the second-order neurons of the Vc were determined by immunohistochemistry. CGRP receptor antagonist was administrated in the TG. RESULTS CIH-induced ocular and intraoral mechanical allodynia. CGRP-immunoreactive neurons and activated satellite glial cells (SGCs) were significantly increased in the TG and the number of cFos-immunoreactive cells in laminae I-II of the Vc were significantly higher in CIH rats compared to normoxic rats. Local administration of the CGRP receptor antagonist in the TG of CIH rats attenuated orofacial mechanical allodynia; the number of CGRP-immunoreactive neurons and activated SGCs in the TG, and the density of CGRP-positive primary afferent terminals and the number of cFos-immunoreactive cells in laminae I-II of the Vc were significantly lower compared to vehicle-administrated CIH rats. CONCLUSIONS An increase in CGRP in the TG induced by CIH, as well as orofacial mechanical allodynia and central sensitization of second-order neurons in the Vc, supported the notion that CGRP plays a critical role in CIH-induced orofacial mechanical allodynia.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms, and it is associated with several prodromal non-motor symptoms, including an impaired sense of smell, taste and touch. We previously reported that bitter taste impairments occur independently of olfactory impairments in an early-stage PD animal model using short-term intranasal rotenone-treated mice. Cool temperatures also affect bitter taste perception, but it remains unclear whether or not bitter taste impairments result from an altered sensitivity for intraoral cool stimuli. We examined disturbances in the intraoral menthol sensitivity, such as coolness at low concentrations of menthol, using a brief-access test. Once a day, one solution from the 7-concentration series of (-)-menthol (0-2.3 mM) or the bitter taste quinine-HCl (0.3 mM) was randomly presented 20 times for 10 s to water-deprived mice before and 1 week after rotenone treatment. The total number of licks within 20 times was significantly decreased with the presentation of 2.3 mM menthol and quinine-HCl, compared to distilled water in untreated mice, but not in rotenone-treated mice. The correlation between the licks for quinine-HCl and that for menthol was increased after rotenone treatment. In contrast, the 2-bottle choice test for 48 h clarified that menthol sensitivity was increased after rotenone treatment. Furthermore, a thermal place preference test revealed that seeking behavior toward a cold-floored room was increased in the rotenone-treated mice despite the unchanged plantar cutaneous cold sensitivity. These results suggest that taste impairments in this model mice are at least partly due to intraoral somatosensory impairments, accompanied by peripheral/central malfunction.

Abstract
Early-life stress affects brain development, eventually resulting in adverse behavioral and physical health consequences in adulthood. The present study assessed the hypothesis that short-term early-life stress during infancy before weaning, a period for the maturation of mastication and sleep, poses long-lasting adverse effects on masticatory function and intraoral sensations later in life.Rat pups were exposed to either maternal separation (MS) or intermittent hypoxia (IH-Infancy) for 6 h/day in the light/sleep phase from postnatal day (P)17 to P20 to generate "neglect" and "pediatric obstructive sleep apnea" models, respectively. The remaining rats were exposed to IH during P45-P48 (IH-Adult). Masticatory ability was evaluated based on the rats' ability to chew pellets and bite pasta throughout the growth period (P21-P70). Intraoral chemical and mechanical sensitivities were assessed using two-bottle preference drinking tests, and hind paw pain thresholds were measured in adulthood (after P60).No differences were found in body weight, grip force, and hind paw sensitivity in MS, IH-Infancy, and IH-Adult rats compared with naïve rats. Masticatory ability was lower in MS and IH-Infancy rats from P28 to P70 than in naïve rats. MS and IH-Infancy rats exhibited intraoral hypersensitivity to capsaicin and mechanical stimulations in adulthood. The IH-Adult rats did not display inferior masticatory ability or intraoral hypersensitivity.In conclusion, short-term early-life stress during the suckling-mastication transition period potentially causes a persistent decrease in masticatory ability and intraoral hypersensitivity in adulthood. The period is a "critical window" for the maturation of oral motor and sensory functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep bruxism (SB), an oral behaviour in otherwise healthy individuals, is characterised by frequent rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) during sleep. RMMA/SB episodes occur over various sleep stages (N1-N3 and rapid eye movement (REM)), sleep cycles (non-REM to REM), and frequently with microarousals. It currently remains unclear whether these characteristics of sleep architecture are phenotype candidates for the genesis of RMMA/SB. OBJECTIVES This narrative review investigated the relationship between sleep architecture and the occurrence of RMMA as a SB phenotype candidate. METHODS PubMed research was performed using keywords related to RMMA/SB and sleep architecture. RESULTS In non-SB and SB healthy individuals, RMMA episodes were most frequent in the light non-REM sleep stages N1 and N2, particularly during the ascending phase of sleep cycles. The onset of RMMA/SB episodes in healthy individuals was preceded by a physiological arousal sequence of autonomic cardiovascular to cortical activation. It was not possible to extract a consistent sleep architecture pattern in the presence of sleep comorbidities. The lack of standardisation and variability between subject complexified the search for specific sleep architecture phenotype(s). CONCLUSION In otherwise healthy individuals, the genesis of RMMA/SB episodes is largely affected by oscillations in the sleep stage and cycle as well as the occurrence of microarousal. Furthermore, a specific sleep architecture pattern cannot be confirmed in the presence of sleep comorbidity. Further studies are needed to delineate sleep architecture phenotype candidate(s) that contribute to the more accurate diagnosis of SB and treatment approaches using standardised and innovative methodologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep on the first night in a sleep laboratory is characterized by a lower sleep quality and frequency of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) than that on the second night in moderate to severe sleep bruxism (SB) patients. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study was to clarify the physiological factors contributing to the first night effect on oromotor activity during sleep and investigate whether physiological factors involved in the first night effect differed between rhythmic and non-rhythmic oromotor activities. METHODS Polysomnographic data collected on two consecutive nights from 15 moderate to severe SB subjects (F 7: M 8; age: 23.2 ± 1.3 [mean ± SD] years) were retrospectively analysed. Sleep variables, RMMA and non-specific masticatory muscle activity (NSMA) were scored in relation to episode types (i.e. phasic or tonic and cluster or isolated), sleep architecture and transient arousals. The relationships between nightly differences in oromotor and sleep variables were assessed. The distribution of oromotor events, arousals, cortical electroencephalographic power, RR intervals and heart rate variability were examined in relation to sleep cycle changes. These variables were compared between the first and second nights and between RMMA and NSMA. RESULTS Sleep variables showed a lower sleep quality on Night 1 than on Night 2. In comparisons with Night 1, the RMMA index increased by 18.8% (p < .001, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test) on Night 2, while the NSMA index decreased by 17.9% (p = .041). Changes in the RMMA index did not correlate with those in sleep variables, while changes in the NSMA index correlated with those in arousal-related variables (p < .001, Spearman's rank correlation). An increase in the RMMA index on Night 2 was found for the cluster type and stage N1 related to sleep cyclic fluctuations in cortical and cardiac activities. In contrast, the decrease in the NSMA index was associated with increases in the isolated type and the occurrence of stage N2 and wakefulness regardless of the sleep cycle. CONCLUSION Discrepancies in first night effect on the occurrence of RMMA and NSMA represent unique sleep-related processes in the genesis of oromotor phenotypes in SB subjects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sleep bruxism (SB) is a common sleep disorder that affects approximately 20% of children and 10% of adults. It may cause orodental problems, such as tooth wear, jaw pain, and temporal headaches. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying SB remain largely unknown, and a definitive treatment has not yet been established. HIGHLIGHT Human studies involving polysomnography have shown that rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) is more frequent in otherwise healthy individuals with SB than in normal individuals. RMMA occurs during light non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep in association with transient arousals and cyclic sleep processes. To further elucidate the neurophysiological mechanisms of SB, jaw motor activities have been investigated in naturally sleeping animals. These animals exhibit various contractions of masticatory muscles, including episodes of rhythmic and repetitive masticatory muscle bursts that occurred during non-REM sleep in association with cortical and cardiac activation, similar to those found in humans. Electrical microstimulation of corticobulbar tracts may also induce rhythmic masticatory muscle contractions during non-REM sleep, suggesting that the masticatory motor system is activated during non-REM sleep via excitatory inputs to the masticatory central pattern generator. CONCLUSION This review article summarizes the pathophysiology of SB and putative origin of RMMA in both human and animal studies. Physiological factors contributing to RMMA in SB have been identified in human studies and may also be present in animal models. Further research is required to integrate the findings between human and animal studies to better understand the mechanisms underlying SB.

Abstract
Oral feeding is critical for survival in both humans and animals. However, few studies have reported quantitative behavioral measures associated with the development of oral feeding behaviors. Therefore, the present study investigated developmental changes in the oral feeding behaviors of rats by quantitatively assessing pasta eating and licking behaviors. In the pasta eating test, the time to finish pasta sticks of three different thicknesses (Φ = 0.9, 1.4, and 1.9 mm, 4 cm long) was recorded between postnatal day 29 (P29) and P49, because all rats were able to finish eating these pasta sticks on P29. A developmental decrease in the time to finish pasta sticks of all thicknesses was observed during the initial period of recordings and plateaued before P35. The extent of this decrease was dependent on the thickness of pasta sticks. In the licking test, the number of licks per 10 s and the total intake volume during the test were recorded between P19 and P49, because all rats were able to access and lick the solution on P19. The time courses of developmental increases in the number of licks and the total intake volume were similar to the results obtained in the pasta eating test. Collectively, these results suggest that developmental changes in pasta eating and licking behaviors markedly differed between the weanling and periadolescent periods. The present study also demonstrated the applicability of the pasta eating and licking tests to the quantification of developmental changes in the oral feeding behaviors of rats.

Abstract
This study examined whether subjective and objective sleep parameters (sleep stage, electroencephalography [EEG] power, heart rate variability) are related to the progression of sleep cycles using differences in the variables between two nights. We hypothesized that the association between night-to-night differences between subjective and objective sleep variables reflect the difference in objective sleep variables in the first sleep cycle. Seventy-seven healthy adults (23.8 ± 2.2 years; 41 females) participated in polysomnographic recordings on two consecutive nights. To extract the variables that represent the difference between the nights, the sleep parameters of Night 1 were subtracted from those of Night 2. Spearman's rho was used to assess correlations between subjective sleep assessments and objective sleep parameters, with false discovery rate correction for multiple comparisons. Subjective sleep assessments were significantly correlated with whole-night sleep architecture and quantitative EEG activity, but not with heart rate variability during the night. Among sleep cycles, subjective sleep parameters were correlated with the objective sleep parameters in the first sleep cycle ("Ease of falling asleep" vs. waking after sleep onset [r = - 0.382], "Depth of sleep" vs. EEG theta power [r = 0.404], "Quality of sleep" vs. the percentage of stage N3 [r = 0.412] and EEG delta power [r = 0.458], all p < 0.05). These results suggest the importance of taking the difference among the nights into account when assessing subjective sleep quality. This study clarified that sleep in the first sleep cycle has a dominant influence on subjective sleep assessments.

Abstract
This longitudinal study investigated developmental changes in jaw-closing muscle activities during ingestive behaviors in rats. On postnatal day (P) 10, electromyography (EMG) electrodes were inserted into the masseter and temporalis muscles of rat pups. EMG activities were recorded for the following ingestive behaviors between P14 and P49: for suckling, including nipple attachment and rhythmic sucking on P14 and for pasta biting, pellet chewing, and milk licking between P21 and P49. Burst rhythms and muscle coordination (i.e., the correlation and time lag) between masseter and temporalis activities were assessed for each behavior. The burst rhythms of nipple attachment and rhythmic sucking on P14 were significantly slower than those of pasta biting, pellet chewing, and milk licking on P21. Muscle coordination differed between suckling on P14 and mastication and licking on P21. Between P21 and P49, increases were observed in burst rhythms for pasta biting and pellet chewing. The rate of increases in burst rhythms was higher for pasta biting than for pellet chewing. Muscle coordination between the two muscle activities for pasta biting did not significantly change between P21 and P49, whereas that for pellet chewing significantly changed between P21 and P24 and stabilized after P24. Burst rhythms for milk licking did not significantly change over time, while muscle coordination between the two muscle activities changed from agonist to antagonist muscle-like activity on approximately P35. The present results demonstrate that distinct patterns of rhythmic jaw-closing muscle activities emerge before weaning, they continue to change over time, and they exhibit unique developmental dynamics for each behavior after weaning.

Abstract
The P2Y2 receptor agonist, diquafosol sodium, is commonly used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DE) patients. Although diquafosol improves tear film stability, the neural mechanisms underlying the reduction in ocular pain are not well defined. This study determined if repeated application of diquafosol reduces the sensitization of nociceptive neurons in the lower trigeminal brainstem nuclear complex (TBNC) via peripheral P2Y2 mechanisms in a rat model for DE. Diquafosol was applied to the ocular surface daily for 28 days, starting at day 0 or day 14, after exorbital gland removal. The number of eyeblinks, P2Y2-immunoreactive neurons in the trigeminal ganglion (TG), and correlates of TBNC neural excitability (i.e., cFos protein and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) expression) were assessed in male rats. Diquafosol increased spontaneous tear volume and reduced the number of ocular surface-evoked eyeblinks in DE rats. Fluorogold-labeled TG neurons that supply the cornea expressed P2Y2. The number of P2Y2-immunoreactive neurons was increased in DE rats and suppressed by diquafosol. Diquafosol also reduced the number of cFos- and pERK-immunoreactive neurons in the TBNC in DE rats. These findings suggest that diquafosol, regardless of late-phase treatment, relieves ocular nociception in DE by reducing peripheral P2Y2 expression.

Abstract
Patients with persistent and severe dry eye disease (DED) have corneal hypersensitivity, resulting in ocular pain, and diquafosol sodium, a potent P2Y2 receptor agonist, is commonly used to improve the resultant tear film stability. This study determined the effects of diquafosol instillation on the suppression of trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) neuronal activity and ocular pain by enhancing tear film stability in the model for chronic DED. The effects of diquafosol on the ocular surface were assessed by the topical application for 28 days, starting from the 14th day since unilateral exorbital gland removal (chronic DED). Loss of tear volume secretion in chronic DED rats was significantly reversed by diquafosol instillation after 28 days, compared with saline treatment. The number of eyeblinks and pERK-IR neurons in the superficial laminae of Vc following hypertonic saline administration to the ocular surface was lower in diquafosol-treated chronic DED rats than in saline-treated rats. The neuronal activity evoked by hypertonic saline and mechanical stimulation along with the spontaneous neuronal activity in the superficial laminae of the Vc were suppressed in diquafosol-treated chronic DED rats. These findings suggest that ocular surface instillation of diquafosol for 28 days attenuates the neuronal hyperactivity in the Vc and the ocular pain that often occurs in chronic DED.

Abstract
Background: Taste impairments are often accompanied by olfactory impairments in the early stage of Parkinson’s disease (PD). The development of animal models is required to elucidate the mechanisms underlying taste impairments in PD. Objective: This study was conducted to clarify whether the intranasal administration of rotenone causes taste impairments prior to motor deficits in mice. Methods: Rotenone was administrated to the right nose of mice once a day for 1 or 4 week(s). In the 1-week group, taste, olfactory, and motor function was assessed before and after a 1-week recovery period following the rotenone administration. Motor function was also continuously examined in the 4-weeks group from 0 to 5 weeks. After a behavioral test, the number of catecholamine neurons (CA-Nos) was counted in the regions responsible for taste, olfactory, and motor function. Results: taste and olfactory impairments were simultaneously observed without locomotor impairments in the 1-week group. The CA-Nos was significantly reduced in the olfactory bulb and nucleus of the solitary tract. In the 4-week group, locomotor impairments were observed from the third week, and a significant reduction in the CA-Nos was observed in the substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) at the fifth week along with the weight loss. Conclusion: The intranasal administration of rotenone caused chemosensory and motor impairments in an administration time-period dependent manner. Since chemosensory impairments were expressed prior to the locomotor impairments followed by SN/VTA CA neurons loss, this rotenone administration model may contribute to the clarification of the prodromal symptoms of PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The areas of the amygdala contributing to rhythmic jaw movements and the movement patterns induced remain unknown. Therefore, the present study investigated the areas of the amygdala contributing to rhythmic jaw movements using repetitive electrical microstimulation techniques. DESIGN Experiments were performed on head-restrained guinea pigs under ketamine-xylazine anesthesia. EMG activities in the masseter and digastric muscles and jaw movements were recorded. Short- and long-train electrical microstimulations of the amygdala were performed and the patterns of jaw movements induced were analyzed quantitatively. RESULT The short-train stimulation induced short-latency EMG responses in the masseter and/or digastric muscles. The stimulation sites inducing short-latency EMG responses were distributed within the ventral part of the amygdala, which covered the medial, basal, and cortical nuclei. The long-train stimulation induced tonic jaw opening and two types of rhythmic jaw movements: those with or without lateral jaw shifts, which were characterized by a larger jaw gape and ipsilateral jaw excursion, respectively. Rhythmic jaw movements with lateral jaw shifts were characterized by overlapping masseter and digastric EMG activities. However, rhythmic patterns did not differ between the two types of rhythmic jaw movements. The stimulation sites that induced rhythmic jaw movements were more localized to the cortical nucleus. CONCLUSIONS The present results suggest that the ventral part of the amygdala is involved in the induction of rhythmic jaw movements in guinea pigs. The putative roles of the limbic system in the genesis of functional (e.g., chewing) and non-functional (e.g., bruxism) rhythmic oromotor movements warrant further study.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The present study investigated the hypothesis that subjects with primary sleep bruxism (SB) exhibit masseter and cortical hyperactivities during quiet sleep periods that are associated with a high frequency of rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA). METHODS Fifteen SB and ten control participants underwent polysomnographic recordings. The frequencies of oromotor events and arousals and the percentage of arousals with oromotor events were assessed. Masseter muscle tone during sleep was quantified using a cluster analysis. Electroencephalography power and heart rate variability were quantified and then compared between the two groups and among sleep stages. RESULTS The frequency of RMMA and percentage of arousals with RMMA were significantly higher in SB subjects than in controls in all stages, while these variables for non-rhythmic oromotor events did not significantly differ between the groups. In SB subjects, the frequency of RMMA was the highest in stage N1 and the lowest in stages N3 and R, while the percentage of arousals with RMMA was higher in stage N3 than stages N1 and R. The cluster analysis classified masseter activity during sleep into two clusters for masseter tone and contractions. Masseter muscle tone showed typical stage-dependent changes in both groups, but did not significantly differ between the groups. Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in electroencephalography power or heart rate variability between the groups. CONCLUSION Young SB subjects exhibited sleep stage-dependent increases in the responsiveness of RMMA to transient arousals, but did not show masseter or cortical hyperactivity during sleep.

Abstract
It has been reported that rhythmic jaw movements (RJMs) spontaneously occur in ketamine-anesthetized animals. The present study investigated the physiological processes that occur during the cortical, cardiac, and respiratory events which contribute to the genesis of RJMs in animals after supplemental ketamine injections. Fourteen guinea pigs were prepared to allow electroencephalographic, electrocardiographic, and electromyographic activities to be recorded from the digastric muscle, measurement of jaw movements, and nasal expiratory airflow under ketamine-xylazine anesthesia. Rhythmic jaw movements spontaneously occurred with rhythmic digastric muscle contractions, 23-29 minutes after injection of supplemental ketamine (12.5 and 25.0 mg kg-1 , intravenously). The cycle length of RJMs did not differ significantly between the two doses of ketamine (mean±SD: 12.5 mg kg-1 , 326.5 ± 60.0 ms; 25 mg kg-1 , 278.5 ± 45.1 ms). Following injection of ketamine, digastric muscle activity, heart and respiratory rates, and cortical beta power significantly decreased, while cortical delta and theta power significantly increased. These changes were significantly larger in animals given 25.0 mg kg-1 of ketamine than in those given 12.5 mg kg-1 . With the onset of RJMs, the levels of these variables returned to pre-injection levels, regardless of the dose of ketamine administered. These results suggest that, following supplemental ketamine injections, spontaneous RJMs occur during a specific period when the pharmacological effects of ketamine wear off, and that these RJMs are characterized by stereotypical changes in cardiac, respiratory, and cortical activities.

Abstract
AIMS To clarify the mechanisms of hypersensitivity and spontaneous pain in intraoral structures in rats with diabetes mellitus (DM) accompanied by reduced saliva. METHODS Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats received a single injection of streptozocin (50 mg/kg) to induce DM. Saliva volume, intraoral hypersensitivity to menthol and capsaicin solutions, and head-withdrawal thresholds (HWTs) to noxious heat and mechanical stimulation of the tongue and whisker pad were measured. RESULTS On day 7 after streptozocin injection, rats with DM had a significantly reduced spontaneous saliva volume, polydipsia, capsaicin aversion of the intraoral mucosa, and a reduced HWT to noxious mechanical stimulation of the whisker pad skin. The HWT to noxious mechanical stimulation of the tongue reduced further on day 14 after streptozocin injection. These symptoms are similar to the orofacial and intraoral complaints of patients with DM. Meanwhile, reduction of HWT to noxious heat stimulation of the tongue and whisker pad were not observed. These results indicate that spontaneous intraoral mucosal pain and mechanical facial hypersensitivity are antecedent symptoms before mechanical hypersensitivity of the tongue. CONCLUSION The mechanisms of saliva reduction, spontaneous intraoral mucosa pain, and mechanical hypersensitivity of intraoral and facial structures induced by DM involve both peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. Tongue hypersensitivity to noxious mechanical stimulation might be aggravated by xerostomia.

Abstract
The pesticide rotenone inhibits mitochondrial complex I and is thought to cause neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and cognitive disorders. However, little is known about the effects of rotenone on conditioned taste aversion memory. In the present study, we investigated whether intranasal administration of rotenone affects conditioned taste aversion memory in mice. We also examined how the intranasal administration of rotenone modulates synaptic transmission and plasticity in layer V pyramidal neurons of the mouse insular cortex that is critical for conditioned taste aversion memory. We found that the intranasal administration of rotenone impaired conditioned taste aversion memory to bitter taste. Regarding its cellular mechanisms, long-term depression (LTD) but not long-term potentiation (LTP) was impaired in rotenone-treated mice. Furthermore, spontaneous inhibitory synaptic currents and tonic GABA currents were decreased in layer V pyramidal neurons of rotenone-treated mice compared to the control mice. The impaired LTD observed in pyramidal neurons of rotenone-treated mice was restored by a GABAA receptor agonist muscimol. These results suggest that intranasal administration of rotenone decreases GABAergic synaptic transmission in layer V pyramidal neurons of the mouse insular cortex, the result of which leads to impairment of LTD and conditioned taste aversion memory.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology that affects mostly young women. Multiorgan complications and prolonged treatment significantly cause physical and mental stress in patients. Improving patients’ quality of life (QOL) in SLE treatment is essential. We examined the treatment effects on disease activity and QOL of SLE patients.Objectives:In recent years, lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) has been proposed as a treatment target for SLE. Patients who achieve LLDAS have a low recurrence rate for lupus and a low risk of serious complications (1). The aim of this study is to investigate whether achieving LLDAS reduces not only recurrence rate and complications of SLE but also improves patients’ QOL.Methods:A total of 104 SLE patients were enrolled in our prospective SLE registry study (Juntendo, Multi-center, Prospective cohort for investigation of clinical course and outcome in SLE: JUMP) conducted at our institution. SLE was diagnosed using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1982 criteria (revised in 1997). QOL was evaluated using the standard version of the 36-item short form health survey version 2 (SF36v2). Participants were divided into the LLDAS achievement and non-achievement groups, and the characteristics of each group including results of SF36v2 were examined.Results:This study included 104 SLE patients, 94 female and 10 male, and the average age and disease duration were 46.4±13.8 and 14.5±11.3 years, respectively. The average corticosteroid dose was 8.0±17.4 mg/day in terms of prednisolone, and anti-dsDNA antibody titer was 16.8±38.5 IU/ml. Of the 104 patients, 57 achieved LLDAS. The subscale’s standard scoring using SF36v2 for role physical (RP) was 78.9±24.0 and 64.6±27.6 (P<0.01), general health (GH) was 50.0±17.0 and 42.0±19.3 (P<0.05), vitality (VT) was 55.8±15.8 and 38.0±24.1 (P<0.01), social functioning (SF) was 82.0±20.7 and 66.5±26.3 (P<0.01), role emotional (RE) was 89.0±16.1 and 73.4±28.1 (P<0.01), and mental health (MH) was 72.4±15.9 and 58.3±21.8 (P<0.01) in the LLDAS achievement and non-achievement groups, respectively. Furthermore, scoring based on the national standard value in the LLDAS achievement group showed that two categories were >50. However, in the LLDAS non-achievement group, all categories were <50. In particular, RP, GH, VT, SF, RE, and MH of the LLDAS achievement group had significantly higher scores than the LLDAS non-achievement group (RP and GH: p<0.05 and VT, SF, RE and MH: p<0.01).Conclusion:Results of examining the association between LLDAS and QOL using SF36v2 in SLE patients showed that patients who achieved LLDAS had significantly better standard statistical scores in many subscale categories. Thus, LLDAS achievement as a treatment target for SLE patients greatly contributes to improving patients’ QOL.References:[1]Franklyn K, et al.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury can induce neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system and result in neuropathic pain. This study investigated functional involvement in dorsal paratrigeminal nucleus (dPa5) and nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) neurons projecting to the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) after trigeminal nerve injury. Anatomical quantification was performed based on phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) expression underlying orofacial neuropathic pain associated with infraorbital nerve chronic constriction injury (ION-CCI) in rats. ION-CCI rats exhibited heat and mechanical hypersensitivity in the ipsilateral upper lip. After injection of retrograde tracer fluorogold (FG) into the contralateral PBN, ION-CCI rats received capsaicin or noxious mechanical stimulation to the upper lip. The total number of FG-labeled neurons in dPa5 and NTS did not change after ION-CCI, and pERK expression in dPa5 did not differ between sham and ION-CCI rats. In the NTS contralateral to ION-CCI, the number of pERK-immunoreactive neurons and percentage of pERK-immunoreactive FG-labeled PBN projection neurons were increased after capsaicin stimulation in ION-CCI rats. The present findings suggest that enhanced noxious inputs from the NTS to the PBN after trigeminal nerve injury modulates PBN neuron activity, which accompanies the affective components of orofacial neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Bright light stimulation of the eye activates trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) neurons in rats. Sensory information is conveyed to the Vc via the trigeminal ganglion (TG). Thus, it is likely that TG neurons respond to photic stimulation and are involved in photic hypersensitivity. However, the mechanisms underlying this process are unclear. Therefore, the hypothesis in this study is bright light stimulation enhances the excitability of TG neurons involved in photic hypersensitivity. Expressions of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) were significantly higher in TG neurons from 5 min to 12 h after photic stimulation of the eye. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (pERK1/2) was enhanced in TG neurons within 5 min after photic stimulation, while pERK1/2 immunoreactivity in satellite glial cells (SGCs) persisted for more than 12 h after the stimulus. Activation of SGCs was observed from 5 min to 2 h. Expression of CGRP, nNOS, and pERK1/2 was observed in small and medium TG neurons, and activation of SGCs and pERK1/2-immunoreactive SGCs encircling large TG neurons was accelerated after stimulation. These results suggest that upregulation of CGRP, nNOS, and pERK1/2 within the TG is involved in photic hypersensitivity.

Abstract
Excitability of neurons in the trigeminal ganglion (TG), trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc), and upper cervical spinal cord (C1-C2) is greatly enhanced after orofacial inflammation and trigeminal nerve injury, and TG, Vc, and C1-C2 neurons remain sensitized long after such episodes. Sensitized neurons generate various molecules, which are released from nociceptive neurons in these areas and are involved in modulating the excitability of TG, Vc, and C1-C2 nociceptive neurons. Hyperexcitable nociceptive neurons also activate satellite glial cells in the TG and microglial cells and astrocytes in the Vc and C1-C2. Glial cell activation spreads throughout the TG, Vc, and C1-C2 and triggers the release of various molecules involved in modulating nociceptive neurons in TG, Vc, and C1-C2 neurons. These findings suggest that functional interaction between neurons and glial cells is critical in persistent orofacial pain associated with orofacial inflammation and trigeminal nerve injury.

Abstract
Background The mechanisms underlying tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with masseter muscle hyperalgesia remain largely underinvestigated. In the present study, we aimed to determine whether masseter muscle contraction induced by daily electrical stimulation influences the mechanical head-withdrawal threshold and genioglossus electromyography activity caused by the application of capsaicin to the upper first molar tooth pulp. We further investigated whether astroglial glutamine synthesis is involved in first molar tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with masseter muscle contraction. Methods The first molar tooth pulp was treated with capsaicin or vehicle in masseter muscle contraction or sham rats, following which the astroglial glutamine synthetase inhibitor methionine sulfoximine or Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was applied. Astroglial activation was assessed via immunohistochemistry. Results The mechanical head-withdrawal threshold of the ipsilateral masseter muscle was significantly decreased in masseter muscle contraction rats than in sham rats. Genioglossus electromyography activity was significantly higher in masseter muscle contraction rats than sham rats. Glial fibrillary acidic protein-immunoreactive cell density was significantly higher in masseter muscle contraction rats than in sham rats. Administration of methionine sulfoximine induced no significant changes in the density of glial fibrillary acidic protein-immunoreactive cells relative to PBS treatment. However, mechanical head-withdrawal threshold was significantly higher in masseter muscle contraction rats than PBS-treated rats after methionine sulfoximine administration. Genioglossus electromyography activity following first molar tooth pulp capsaicin treatment was significantly lower in methionine sulfoximine-treated rats than in PBS-treated rats. In the ipsilateral region, the total number of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase immunoreactive cells in the medullary dorsal horn was significantly smaller upon first molar tooth pulp capsaicin application in methionine sulfoximine-treated rats than in PBS-treated rats. Conclusions Our results suggest that masseter muscle contraction induces astroglial activation, and that this activation spreads from caudal to the obex in the medullary dorsal horn, resulting in enhanced neuronal excitability associated with astroglial glutamine synthesis in medullary dorsal horn neurons receiving inputs from the tooth pulp. These findings provide significant insight into the mechanisms underlying tooth pulp hypersensitivity associated with masseter muscle contraction.

Abstract
The P2Y12 receptor expressed in satellite cells of the trigeminal ganglion is thought to contribute to neuropathic pain. The functional interaction between neurons and satellite cells via P2Y12 receptors and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) underlying neuropathic pain in the tongue was evaluated in this study. Expression of P2Y12 receptor was enhanced in pERK1/2-immunoreactive cells encircling trigeminal ganglion neurons after lingual nerve crush. The administration to lingual nerve crush rats of a selective P2Y12 receptor antagonist, MRS2395, attenuated tongue hypersensitivity to mechanical and heat stimulation and suppressed the increase in the relative numbers of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactive neurons and neurons encircled by pERK1/2-immunoreactive cells. Administration of the P2Y1,12,13 receptor agonist, 2-(methylthio)adenosine 5'-diphosphate trisodium salt hydrate (2-MeSADP), to naïve rats induced neuropathic pain in the tongue, as in lingual nerve crush rats. Co-administration of 2-MeSADP + MRS2395 to naïve rats did not result in hypersensitivity of the tongue. The relative number of CGRP-immunoreactive neurons increased following this co-administration, but to a lesser degree than observed in 2-MeSADP-administrated naïve rats, and the relative number of neurons encircled by pERK1/2-immunoreactive cells did not change. These results suggest that the interaction between activated satellite cells and CGRP-immunoreactive neurons via P2Y12 receptors contributes to neuropathic pain in the tongue associated with lingual nerve injury.

Abstract
Iatrogenic trigeminal nerve injuries remain a common and complex clinical problem. Satellite glial cell (SGC) activation, associated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and neuropeptide expression in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) are known to be involved in trigeminal neuropathic pain related to trigeminal nerve injury. However, the involvement of these molecules in orofacial neuropathic pain mechanisms is still unknown. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in lingual nerve crush (LNC) rats was observed in SGCs. To evaluate the role of neuron-SGC interactions under neuropathic pain, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactive (IR), phosphorylated ERK1/2 (pERK1/2)-IR and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-IR cells in the TG were studied in LNC rats. The number of CGRP-IR neurons and neurons encircled with pERK1/2-IR SGCs was significantly larger in LNC rats compared with sham rats. The percentage of large-sized CGRP-IR neurons was significantly higher in LNC rats. The number of CGRP-IR neurons, neurons encircled with pERK1/2-IR SGCs, and neurons encircled with GFAP-IR SGCs was decreased following CGRP receptor blocker CGRP8-37 or mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase 1 inhibitor PD98059 administration into the TG after LNC. Reduced thresholds to mechanical and heat stimulation to the tongue in LNC rats were also significantly recovered following CGRP8-37 or PD98059 administration. The present findings suggest that CGRP released from TG neurons activates SGCs through ERK1/2 phosphorylation and TG neuronal activity is enhanced, resulting in the tongue hypersensitivity associated with lingual nerve injury. The phenotypic switching of large myelinated TG neurons expressing CGRP may account for the pathogenesis of tongue neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Second-order neurons in trigeminal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) and upper cervical spinal cord (C1) are critical for craniofacial pain processing and project rostrally to terminate in: ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus (VPM), medial thalamic nuclei (MTN) and parabrachial nuclei (PBN). The contribution of each region to trigeminal nociception was assessed by the number of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase-immunoreactive (pERK-IR) neurons co-labeled with fluorogold (FG). The phenotype of pERK-IR neurons was further defined by the expression of neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1). The retrograde tracer FG was injected into VPM, MTN or PBN of the right hemisphere and after seven days, capsaicin was injected into the left upper lip in male rats. Nearly all pERK-IR neurons were found in superficial laminae of Vc-C1 ipsilateral to the capsaicin injection. Nearly all VPM and MTN FG-labeled neurons in Vc-C1 were found contralateral to the injection site, whereas FG-labeled neurons were found bilaterally after PBN injection. The percentage of FG-pERK-NK1-IR neurons was significantly greater (>10%) for PBN projection neurons than for VPM and MTN projection neurons (<3%). pERK-NK1-IR VPM projection neurons were found mainly in the middle-Vc, while pERK-NK1-immunoreactive MTN or PBN projection neurons were found in the middle-Vc and caudal Vc-C1. These results suggest that a significant percentage of capsaicin-responsive neurons in superficial laminae of Vc-C1 project directly to PBN, while neurons that project to VPM and MTN are subject to greater modulation by pERK-IR local interneurons. Furthermore, the rostrocaudal distribution differences of FG-pERK-NK1-IR neurons in Vc-C1 may reflect functional differences between these projection areas regarding craniofacial pain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Malignant lymphoma of the female genital tract is quite rare and its presentation may resemble that of other, more common tumors, causing confusion for clinicians. CASE HISTORY The authors report three patients with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) involving the female genital tract: two cases involved the ovary and one involved the uterus. In all patients, the genital tract was the initial site of clinical presentation of a B cell lymphoma. One patient was diagnosed postoperatively and subsequently received chemotherapy; the other two patients were diagnosed by imaging-guided biopsy and were successfully managed by chemotherapy without resection surgery. Two patients were alive, without evidence of disease, and one patient was alive with disease at their most recent follow-up visit. CONCLUSION The authors' experience emphasizes that lymphoma should be in the differential diagnosis of pelvic gynecological malignancies, and its clinical, biological, and radiological signs must be actively sought. Imaging-guided biopsy should be performed to avoid unnecessary surgery.

Abstract
Background Orofacial inflammatory pain is likely to accompany referred pain in uninflamed orofacial structures. The ectopic pain precludes precise diagnosis and makes treatment problematic, because the underlying mechanism is not well understood. Using the established ectopic orofacial pain model induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) injection into trapezius muscle, we analyzed the possible role of p38 phosphorylation in activated microglia in ectopic orofacial pain. Results Mechanical allodynia in the lateral facial skin was induced following trapezius muscle inflammation, which accompanied microglial activation with p38 phosphorylation and hyperexcitability of wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in the trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc). Intra-cisterna successive administration of a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase selective inhibitor, SB203580, suppressed microglial activation and its phosphorylation of p38. Moreover, SB203580 administration completely suppressed mechanical allodynia in the lateral facial skin and enhanced WDR neuronal excitability in Vc. Microglial interleukin-1β over-expression in Vc was induced by trapezius muscle inflammation, which was significantly suppressed by SB203580 administration. Conclusions These findings indicate that microglia, activated via p38 phosphorylation, play a pivotal role in WDR neuronal hyperexcitability, which accounts for the mechanical hypersensitivity in the lateral facial skin associated with trapezius muscle inflammation.

Abstract
Repeated forced swim (FS) conditioning enhances nociceptive responses to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) stimulation in female rats. The basis for FS-induced TMJ hyperalgesia remains unclear. To test the hypothesis that serotonin 3 receptor (5HT3R) mechanisms contribute to enhanced TMJ nociception after FS, ovariectomized female rats were treated with estradiol and subjected to FS for three days. On day 4, rats were anesthetized with isoflurane and TMJ-responsive neurons were recorded from superficial and deep laminae at the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical (Vc/C1-2) region and electromyographic (EMG) activity was recorded from the masseter muscle. Only Vc/C1-2 neurons activated by intra-TMJ injections of ATP were included for further analysis. Although neurons in both superficial and deep laminae were activated by ATP, only neurons in deep laminae displayed enhanced responses after FS. Local application of the 5HT3R antagonist, ondansetron (OND), at the Vc/C1-2 region reduced the ATP-evoked responses of neurons in superficial and deep laminae and reduced the EMG response in both sham and FS rats. OND also decreased the spontaneous firing rate of neurons in deep laminae and reduced the high-threshold convergent cutaneous receptive field area of neurons in superficial and deep laminae in both sham and FS rats. These results revealed that central application of a 5HT3R antagonist, had widespread effects on the properties of TMJ-responsive neurons at the Vc/C1-2 region and on jaw muscle reflexes under sham and FS conditions. It is concluded that 5HT3R does not play a unique role in mediating stress-induced hyperalgesia related to TMJ nociception.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant number of patients visit dental clinics because of unusual oral sensations for which no physical cause can be found. Such patients are recognized as having oral somatic delusion (OSD). OSD may be either primary (monosymptomatic) or secondary to another disease, such as depression or cerebral infarction. Although the presenting complaints of patients with primary and secondary OSD are nearly indistinguishable, symptoms in patients with secondary OSD seem to be resistant to treatment compared with those in patients with primary OSD. Moreover, right dominant cerebral blood flow (CBF) has been reported in patients with primary OSD, but the difference in CBF between patients with primary and secondary OSD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the differences in clinical characteristics and CBF distribution between patients with monosymptomatic OSD (non-depression group) and OSD in conjunction with remitted depression (depression group). METHODS Participants were 27 patients of a psychosomatic dentistry clinic, all diagnosed with OSD. They were categorized into either the non-depression group (17 patients) or the depression group (10 patients) on the basis of assessments by their personal medical providers. CBF was examined using single-photon emission computed tomography. RESULTS There was no difference in clinical presentation between the two groups. A significant right dominant asymmetry in the temporal and posterior cerebral regions was observed in both groups. In the central region, a right dominance was seen in the non-depression group, while a left dominance was seen in the depression group. Moreover, the mean regional CBF values for patients in the depression group were significantly lower in several regions (including bilateral callosomarginal, precentral, angular, temporal, posterior cerebral, pericallosal, lenticular nucleus, thalamus, and hippocampus; and right central and cerebellum) than for patients in the non-depression group. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the temporal and posterior cerebral regions are involved in in the pathophysiology of OSD, regardless of depression history, and that widespread CBF reduction is a characteristic of remitted depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Phantom bite syndrome (PBS) is characterized by a persistent uncomfortable sensation of occlusion without an evident occlusal discrepancy. The aims of this retrospective cross-sectional study were to assess psychiatric comorbidities and evaluate psychopharmacological outcomes of PBS. METHODS The database of the Psychosomatic Dentistry Clinic of Tokyo Medical and Dental University Dental Hospital was reviewed for cases of PBS diagnosed between April 2009 and March 2012. Clinical Global Impression indices were used to assess psychopharmacological outcomes. RESULTS The review revealed 130 patients (107 women, 23 men) with a mean age of 53.0 ±13.1 years. They previously visited 4.4 ±3.4 dental clinicsand had a mean symptom duration of 5.3 ±5.4 years. Only 24 (18.5%) of 63 (48.5%) patients with psychiatric comorbidities had schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, or bipolar disorder. The frequency of psychiatric comorbidities was significantly lower in PBS with a dental trigger than that without a specific trigger. Moreover, patients without a psychiatric comorbidity showed significantly better outcomes than those with a psychiatric comorbidity. Forty patients (30.8%) showed remarkable clinical improvement after receiving amitriptyline, mirtazapine, or aripiprazole. CONCLUSION PBS is generally not associated with severe psychiatric disorders. Absence of a dental trigger predicts a psychiatric comorbidity, which affects the psychopharmacological outcome. Antidepressant or antipsychotic therapy may be effective for symptom management in PBS.

Abstract
Dry eye (DE) disease is commonly associated with ocular surface inflammation, an unstable tear film and symptoms of irritation. However, little is known about the role of central neural mechanisms in DE. This study used a model for persistent aqueous tear deficiency, exorbital gland removal, to assess the effects of mustard oil (MO), a transient receptor potential ankyrin (TRPA1) agonist, on eyeblink and eyewipe behavior and Fos-like immunoreactivity (Fos-LI) in the trigeminal brainstem of male rats. Spontaneous tear secretion was reduced by about 50% and spontaneous eyeblinks were increased more than 100% in DE rats compared to sham rats. MO (0.02-0.2%) caused dose-related increases in eyeblink and forelimb eyewipe behavior in DE and sham rats. Exorbital gland removal alone was sufficient to increase Fos-LI at the ventrolateral pole of trigeminal interpolaris/caudalis (Vi/Vc) transition region, but not at more caudal regions of the trigeminal brainstem. Under barbiturate anesthesia ocular surface application of MO (2-20%) produced Fos-LI in the Vi/Vc transition, in the mid-portions of Vc and in the trigeminal caudalis/upper cervical spinal cord (Vc/C1) region that was significantly greater in DE rats than in sham controls. MO caused an increase in Fos-LI ipsilaterally in superficial laminae at the mid-Vc and Vc/C1 regions in a dose-dependent manner. Smaller, but significant, increases in Fos-LI also were seen in the contralateral Vc/C1 region in DE rats. TRPA1 protein levels in trigeminal ganglia from DE rats ipsilateral and contralateral to gland removal were similar. Persistent tear reduction enhanced the behavioral and trigeminal brainstem neural responses to ocular surface stimulation by MO. These results suggested that TRPA1 mechanisms play a significant role in the sensitization of ocular-responsive trigeminal brainstem neurons in this model for tear deficient DE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is important to know the mechanisms underlying pain abnormalities associated with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) regeneration in order to develop the appropriate treatment for orofacial neuropathic pain patients. However, peripheral mechanisms underlying orofacial pain abnormalities following IAN regeneration are not fully understood. METHODS Head withdrawal threshold (HWT), jaw opening reflex (JOR) thresholds, single-fibre recordings of the regenerated mental nerve (MN) fibres, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), isolectin B4 (IB4), peripherin, neurofilament-200 (NF-200) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) expression in trigeminal ganglion (TG) cells, and electron microscopic (EM) observations of the regenerated MN fibres were studied in MN- and IAN-transected (M-IANX) rats. RESULTS HWT to mechanical or heat stimulation of the mental skin was significantly lower in M-IANX rats compared with sham rats. Mean conduction velocity of action potentials recorded from MN fibres (n = 124) was significantly slower in M-IANX rats compared with sham rats. The percentage of Fluoro-Gold (FG)-labelled CGRP-, peripherin- or TRPV1-immunoreactive (IR) cells was significantly larger in M-IANX rats compared with that of sham rats, whereas that of FG-labelled IB4- and NF-200-IR cells was significantly smaller in M-IANX rats compared with sham rats. Large-sized myelinated nerve fibres were rarely observed in M-IANX rats, whereas large-sized unmyelinated nerve fibres were frequently observed and were aggregated in the bundles at the distal portion of regenerated axons. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the demyelination of MN fibres following regeneration may be involved in peripheral sensitization, resulting in the orofacial neuropathic pain associated with trigeminal nerve injury.

Orexin-A (OxA) is synthesized in posterior and lateral regions of the hypothalamus and contributes to homeostatic regulation of body functions including pain modulation. To determine if orexinergic mechanisms contribute to posterior hypothalamus (PH)-induced modulation of ocular input to subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical (Vc/C1) neurons, the orexin-1 receptor antagonist SB334867 was applied to the dorsal brainstem surface prior to PH disinhibition, by bicuculline methiodide, in male rats under isoflurane anesthesia. Ocular input to Vc/C1 units by bright light or hypertonic saline was markedly reduced by PH disinhibition and reversed completely by local Vc/C1 application of SB334867. OxA applied to the Vc/C1 surface mimicked the effects of PH disinhibition in a dose-dependent manner. OxA-induced inhibition was prevented by co-application of SB334867, but not by the orexin-2 receptor antagonist TCS Ox2 29. PH disinhibition and local OxA application also reduced the high threshold convergent cutaneous receptive field area of ocular units, suggesting widespread effects on somatic input to Vc/C1 ocular units. Vc/C1 application of OxA or SB334867 alone did not affect the background discharge of ocular units and suggested that the PH-OxA influence on ocular unit activity was not tonically active. Vc/C1 application of OxA or SB334867 alone also did not alter mean arterial pressure, whereas PH disinhibition evoked prompt and sustained increases. These results suggest that stimulus-evoked increases in PH outflow acts through OxA and orexin-1 receptors to alter the encoding properties of trigeminal brainstem neurons responsive to input from the ocular surface and deep tissues of the eye.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) and therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) that occur during chemotherapy for ovarian cancer has increased. While alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors are particularly mutagenic and have strong leukemogenic potential, paclitaxel and combination chemotherapy/radiation therapy also appear to induce t-MDS. The present authors report a case of t-MDS that developed during chemotherapy and radiation therapy for ovarian cancer. The patient was a 75-year-old woman who received six courses of cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/cisplatin (CAP) therapy after initial surgery for Stage IIIc grade ovarian cancer in 1995. Beginning in February 2005, the patient experienced multiple recurrences due to sternal metastasis. Chemotherapy, including paclitaxel and carboplatin (TC), was administered intermittently and was combined with radiation therapy to a sternal metastatic lesion. Pancytopenia was observed in December 2008, and she was diagnosed with t-MDS (WHO subtype, refractory cytopenias with multilineage dysplasia [RCMD]): the time from first chemotherapy to t-MDS onset was 106 months. Without evidence of blast crisis, the recurrent lesions continued to grow and caused multiple cerebral infarctions, from which she eventually died. The cumulative doses of paclitaxel and carboplatin administered to this patient were 1,968 mg and 6,480 mg, respectively.

Abstract
Enhanced light sensitivity is a common feature of many neuro-ophthalmic conditions and some chronic headaches. Previously we reported that the bright light-evoked increases in trigeminal brainstem neural activity and lacrimation depended on a neurovascular link within the eye (Okamoto et al., 2012). However, the supraspinal pathways necessary for these light-evoked responses are not well defined. To assess the contribution of the posterior hypothalamic area (PH), a brain region closely associated with control of autonomic outflow, we injected bicuculline methiodide (BMI), a GABAa receptor antagonist, into the PH and determined its effect on the encoding properties of ocular neurons at the ventrolateral trigeminal interpolaris/caudalis transition (Vi/Vc) and caudalis/upper cervical cord junction (Vc/C1) regions and on reflex lacrimation in male rats under isoflurane anesthesia. BMI markedly reduced light-evoked (>80%) responses of Vi/Vc and Vc/C1 neurons at 10 min with partial recovery by 50 min after injection. BMI also reduced (>35%) the convergent cutaneous receptive field area of Vi/Vc and Vc/C1 ocular neurons indicating that both intra-ocular and periorbital cutaneous inputs were affected by changes in PH outflow. Light-evoked lacrimation was reduced by >35% at 10 min after BMI, while resting mean arterial pressure increased promptly and remained elevated (>20 mmHg) throughout the 50-min post-injection period. These results suggested that PH stimulation, acting in part through increased sympathetic activity, significantly inhibited light- and facial skin-evoked activity of ocular neurons at the Vi/Vc and Vc/C1 region. These data provide further support for the hypothesis that autonomic outflow plays a critical role in mediating light-evoked trigeminal brainstem neural activity and reflex lacrimation.

Abstract
Estrogen status and psychological stress contribute to the expression of several chronic pain conditions including temporomandibular muscle and joint disorders (TMJD). Sensory neurons that supply the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region terminate in laminae I and V of the spinal trigeminal nucleus (Vc/C1-2 region); however, little is known about lamina-specificity and environmental influences on the encoding properties of TMJ brainstem neurons. To test the hypothesis that Vc/C1-2 neurons integrate both interoceptive and exteroceptive signals relevant for TMJ nociception, we recorded TMJ-evoked activity in superficial and deep laminae of ovariectomized rats under high and low estradiol (E2) and stress conditions. Rats received daily injections of low (LE) or high (HE) dose E2 and were subjected to forced swim (FS) or sham swim conditioning for 3days. The results revealed marked lamina-specificity in that HE rats displayed enhanced TMJ-evoked activity in superficial, but not deep, laminae independent of stress conditioning. By contrast, FS conditioned rats displayed increased background firing and TMJ-evoked activity of neurons in deep, but not superficial, laminae independent of E2 status. FS also enhanced TMJ-evoked masseter muscle activity and suggested the importance of deep dorsal horn neurons in mediating evoked jaw muscle activity. In conclusion, E2 status and psychophysical stress play a significant role in modifying the encoding properties of TMJ-responsive medullary dorsal horn neurons with a marked lamina-specificity.

Abstract
To evaluate the involvement of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade in orofacial neuropathic pain mechanisms, this study assessed nocifensive behavior evoked by mechanical or thermal stimulation of the whisker pad skin, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) neurons, and Vc neuronal responses to mechanical or thermal stimulation of the whisker pad skin in rats with the chronic constriction nerve injury of the infraorbital nerve (ION-CCI). The mechanical and thermal nocifensive behavior was significantly enhanced on the side ipsilateral to the ION-CCI compared to the contralateral whisker pad or sham rats. ION-CCI rats had an increased number of phosphorylated ERK immunoreactive (pERK-IR) cells which also manifested NeuN-IR but not GFAP-IR and Iba1-IR, and were significantly more in ION-CCI rats compared with sham rats following noxious but not non-noxious mechanical stimulation. After intrathecal administration of the MEK1 inhibitor PD98059 in ION-CCI rats, the number of pERK-IR cells after noxious stimulation and the enhanced thermal nocifensive behavior but not the mechanical nocifensive behavior were significantly reduced in ION-CCI rats. The enhanced background activities, afterdischarges and responses of wide dynamic range neurons to noxious mechanical and thermal stimulation in ION-CCI rats were significantly depressed following i.t. administration of PD98059, whereas responses to non-noxious mechanical and thermal stimulation were not altered. The present findings suggest that pERK-IR neurons in the Vc play a pivotal role in the development of thermal hypersensitivity in the face following trigeminal nerve injury.

Abstract
In order to clarify the peripheral mechanisms of ectopic persistent pain in a tooth pulp following pulpal inflammation of an adjacent tooth, masseter muscle activity, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (pERK) and TRPV1 immunohistochemistries and satellite cell activation using glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunohistochemistry in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) were studied in the rats with molar tooth-pulp inflammation. And, Fluorogold (FG) and DiI were also used in a neuronal tracing study to analyze if some TG neurons innervate more than one tooth pulp. Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or saline was applied into the upper first molar tooth pulp (M1) in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats, and capsaicin was applied into the upper second molar tooth pulp (M2) on day 3 after the CFA or saline application. Mean EMG activity elicited in the masseter muscle by capsaicin application to M2 was significantly larger in M1 CFA-applied rats compared with M1 vehicle-applied rats. The mean number of pERK-immunoreactive (IR) TG cells was significantly larger in M1 CFA-applied rats compared with M1 vehicle-applied rats. Application of the satellite cell inhibitor fluorocitrate (FC) into TG caused a significant depression of capsaicin-induced masseter muscle activity and a significant reduction of satellite cell activation. The number of TRPV1-IR TG cells innervating M2 was significantly larger in M1 CFA-applied rats compared with M1 vehicle-applied rats, and that was decreased following FC injection into TG. Furthermore, 6% of TG neurons innervating M1 and/or M2 innervated both M1 and M2. These findings suggest that satellite cell activation following tooth pulp inflammation and innervation of multiple tooth pulps by single TG neurons may be involved in the enhancement of the activity of TG neurons innervating adjacent non-inflamed teeth that also show enhancement of TRPV1 expression in TG neurons, resulting in the ectopic persistent tooth-pulp pain following pulpal inflammation of adjacent teeth.

Abstract
In recent years, Shimane University Hospital has begun to see patients with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which has become severe and chronic after insufficient conservative treatment in primary or secondary medical care facilities. Serious chronic tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is complicated by intraperitoneal inflammatory adhesions to surrounding organs, so that it is difficult to determine the original anatomical position of organs at surgery. Forcible synechotomy can result in damage to the adhering organs and insufficient drainage after surgery can cause recurrence of inflammation. In order to increase the chances for a successful surgical treatment, careful preparation, such as preoperative administration of antibiotics and ureteral stent insertion are necessary. In addition, the chances for recurrence of inflammation can be lessened by thorough intraperitoneal irrigation and insertion of a drainage tube.

Abstract
To evaluate the involvement of trafficking of alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) GluR2 and GluR3 subunits in an acute inflammatory orofacial pain, we analyzed nocifensive behavior, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) and Fos expression in Vi/Vc, Vc and C1/C2 in GluR2 delta7 knock-in (KI), GluR3 delta7 KI mice and wild-type mice. We also studied Vc neuronal activity to address the hypothesis that trafficking of GluR2 and GluR3 subunits plays an important role in Vi/Vc, Vc and C1/C2 neuronal activity associated with orofacial inflammation in these mice. Late nocifensive behavior was significantly depressed in GluR2 delta7 KI and GluR3 delta7 KI mice. In addition, the number of pERK-immunoreactive (IR) cells was significantly decreased bilaterally in the Vi/Vc, Vc and C1/C2 in GluR2 delta7 KI and GluR3 delta7 KI mice compared to wild-type mice at 40 min after formalin injection, and was also significantly smaller in GluR3 delta7 KI compared to GluR2 delta7 KI mice. The number of Fos protein-IR cells in the ipsilateral Vi/Vc, Vc and C1/C2 was also significantly smaller in GluR2 delta7 KI and GluR3 delta7 KI mice compared to wild-type mice 40 min after formalin injection. Nociceptive neurons functionally identified as wide dynamic range neurons in the Vc, where pERK- and Fos protein-IR cell expression was prominent, showed significantly lower spontaneous activity in GluR2 delta7 KI and GluR3 delta7 KI mice than wild-type mice following formalin injection. These findings suggest that GluR2 and GluR3 trafficking is involved in the enhancement of Vi/Vc, Vc and C1/C2 nociceptive neuronal excitabilities at 16-60 min following formalin injection, resulting in orofacial inflammatory pain.

Abstract
AIM We systematically performed autonomic testing on patients with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-protein and skin changes syndrome (POEMS) to determine whether autonomic function is preserved in such patients. METHODS We studied 17 POEMS patients, 17 diabetic neuropathy (DN) patients and 17 age-matched normal subjects. Blood pressure responses to the head-up tilt test and heart rate variability were used to evaluate cardiovascular autonomic function. Sweat responses and cutaneous vasoconstriction to several stimuli were recorded via the finger tips to estimate cutaneous sympathetic function. In addition, motor nerve conduction studies were performed. RESULTS Although the results of the autonomic testing were normal in POEMS patients, motor disability was severe, and motor nerve conduction studies provided evidence of extensive axonal loss. The DN patients showed significantly impaired autonomic responses despite mild motor dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Autonomic function was normal in POEMS patients, indicating the preservation of autonomic fibers and selective involvement of large fibers.

Abstract
Background It has been reported that the P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) is involved in satellite glial cells (SGCs) activation, indicating that P2Y12R expressed in SGCs may play functional roles in orofacial neuropathic pain mechanisms. However, the involvement of P2Y12R in orofacial neuropathic pain mechanisms is still unknown. We therefore studied the reflex to noxious mechanical or heat stimulation of the tongue, P2Y12R and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunohistochemistries in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) in a rat model of unilateral lingual nerve crush (LNC) to evaluate role of P2Y12R in SGC in lingual neuropathic pain. Results The head-withdrawal reflex thresholds to mechanical and heat stimulation of the lateral tongue were significantly decreased in LNC-rats compared to sham-rats. These nocifensive effects were apparent on day 1 after LNC and lasted for 17 days. On days 3, 9, 15 and 21 after LNC, the mean relative number of TG neurons encircled with GFAP-immunoreactive (IR) cells significantly increased in the ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular branch regions of TG. On day 3 after LNC, P2Y12R expression occurred in GFAP-IR cells but not neuronal nuclei (NeuN)-IR cells (i.e. neurons) in TG. After 3 days of successive administration of the P2Y12R antagonist MRS2395 into TG in LNC-rats, the mean relative number of TG neurons encircled with GFAP-IR cells was significantly decreased coincident with a significant reversal of the lowered head-withdrawal reflex thresholds to mechanical and heat stimulation of the tongue compared to vehicle-injected rats. Furthermore, after 3 days of successive administration of the P2YR agonist 2-MeSADP into the TG in naïve rats, the mean relative number of TG neurons encircled with GFAP-IR cells was significantly increased and head-withdrawal reflex thresholds to mechanical and heat stimulation of the tongue were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner compared to vehicle-injected rats. Conclusions The present findings provide the first evidence that the activation of P2Y12R in SGCs of TG following lingual nerve injury is involved in the enhancement of TG neuron activity and nocifensive reflex behavior, resulting in neuropathic pain in the tongue.

Abstract
Background The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the mechanisms that may underlie the sensitization of trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc) and upper cervical spinal cord (C1-C2) neurons to heat or cold stimulation of the orofacial region following glutamate (Glu) injection. Results Glu application to the tongue or whisker pad skin caused an enhancement of head-withdrawal reflex and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation in Vc-C2 neurons. Head-withdrawal reflex and ERK phosphorylation were also enhanced following cold stimulation of the tongue but not whisker pad skin in Glu-injected rats, and the head-withdrawal reflex and ERK phosphorylation were enhanced following heat stimulation of the tongue or whisker pad skin. The enhanced head-withdrawal reflex and ERK phosphorylation after heat stimulation of the tongue or whisker pad skin, and those following cold stimulation of the tongue but not whisker pad skin were suppressed following ionotropic glutamate receptor antagonists administration into the tongue or whisker pad skin. Furthermore, intrathecal administration of MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 caused significant suppression of enhanced head-withdrawal reflex in Glu-injected rats, heat head-withdrawal reflex in the rats with Glu injection into the tongue or whisker pad skin and cold head-withdrawal reflex in the rats with Glu injection into the tongue. Conclusions The present findings suggest that peripheral Glu receptor mechanisms may contribute to cold hyperalgesia in the tongue but not in the facial skin, and also contribute to heat hyperalgesia in the tongue and facial skin, and that the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade in Vc-C2 neurons may be involved in these Glu-evoked hyperalgesic effects.

Abstract
Many phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK)-immunoreactive (IR) cells are expressed in the trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis (Vc), upper cervical spinal cord (C1-C2), nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and paratrigeminal nucleus (Pa5) after capsaicin injection into the whisker pad (WP), masseter muscle (MM), digastric muscle (DM) or sternohyoideus muscle (SM). The pERK-IR cells also showed NeuN immunoreactivity, indicating that ERK phosphorylation occurs in neurons. The pERK-IR cells were significantly reduced after intrathecal injection of MEK 1/2 inhibitor PD98059. The pERK-IR cells expressed bilaterally in the Vc and C1-C2 after capsaicin injection into the unilateral DM or SM, whereas unilaterally in the Vc and C1-C2 after unilateral WP or MM injection. After capsaicin injection into the WP or MM, the pERK-IR cell expression in the Vc was restricted rostrocaudally within a narrow area. However, the distribution of pERK-IR cells was more wide spread without a clear peak in the Vc and C1-C2 after capsaicin injection into the DM or SM. In the NTS, the unimodal pERK-IR cell expression peaked at 0-720μm rostral from the obex following capsaicin injection into WP, MM, DM or SM. In the ipsilateral Pa5, many pERK-IR cells were observed following capsaicin injection into the SM. The number of swallows elicited by distilled water administration was significantly smaller after capsaicin injection into the WP, MM or DM but not SM compared to that of vehicle-injected rats. Various noxious inputs due to the masticatory or swallowing-related muscle inflammation may be differentially involved in muscle pain and swallowing reflex activity.

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression, EGFR gene amplification, and the presence of activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of this gene in squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas/adenosquamous carcinomas of the uterine cervix. Methods: The EGFR expression, amplification, and mutation in cervical carcinomas were assessed by immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridisation, and PCR–SSCP, respectively, and correlated with clinical data collected by a retrospective chart review. A functional assessment was performed by inactivating EGFR in cervical cancer cells with the potent inhibitor AG1478. Results: Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that 6 out of 59 (10.2%) cervical squamous cell carcinomas showed significant amplification of the EGFR locus, whereas none of the 52 adeno/adenosquamous cell carcinomas had detectable EGFR amplification (P<0.05). The EGFR amplification significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (P=0.001) in cervical squamous cell carcinomas. Multivariate analysis showed that EGFR gene amplification was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (P=0.011). None of the squamous cell carcinomas (0%: 0 out of 32) had detectable oncogenic mutations in EGFR exons 18 through 21. The frequencies of KRAS and BRAF mutations were very low in both squamous and adeno/adenosquamous cell carcinomas. Sensitivity of cervical cancer cells to AG1478 depended on the presence of EGFR overexpression. AG1478-induced EGFR inactivation in cell lines with EGFR overexpression significantly suppressed tumour development and progression in a mouse xenograft model. Conclusion: Our data suggest that EGFR signalling is important in a subset of cervical squamous cell carcinomas and that anti-EGFR therapy may benefit patients who carry the 7p11.2 amplicon in their tumours.
