    Abstract: Electroencephalographic synchrony can help assess brain network status; however, its usefulness has not yet been fully proven. We developed a clinically feasible method that combines the phase synchrony index (PSI) with resting-state 19-channel electroencephalography (EEG) to evaluate post-stroke motor impairment. In this study, we investigated whether our method could be applied to aphasia, a common post-stroke cognitive impairment. This study included 31 patients with subacute aphasia and 24 healthy controls. We assessed the expressive function of patients and calculated the PSIs of three motor language-related regions: frontofrontal, left frontotemporal, and right frontotemporal. Then, we evaluated post-stroke network alterations by comparing PSIs of the patients and controls and by analyzing the correlations between PSIs and aphasia scores. The frontofrontal PSI (beta band) was lower in patients than in controls and positively correlated with aphasia scores, whereas the right frontotemporal PSI (delta band) was higher in patients than in controls and negatively correlated with aphasia scores. Evaluation of artifacts suggests that this association is attributed to true synchrony rather than spurious synchrony. These findings suggest that post-stroke aphasia is associated with alternations of two different networks and point to the usefulness of EEG PSI in understanding the pathophysiology of aphasia.

    Abstract: Background: It has been well known that melanoma has a poor prognosis due to its rapid progression and high metastatic ability before. Although a few new drugs came out into clinical field in very recent years, these drugs are restricted to use for the patients who have BRAF or MEK gene mutation. Therefore we still have to search new target points that are not dependent on these gene mutations. TRP channels are activated by changes of temperature or membrane voltage, resulting in activation of intracellular responses. Here, we investigate whether TRPC3 regulates cell proliferation and migration of human melanoma in vitro and in vivo. Material: C8161 cells, a BRAF wild type human melanoma cell line, were mainly used in this study. Cell proliferation was assessed by 2,3, -bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino)-carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium inner salt (XTT) assay. Cell cycle was analyzed by fluorescence-activated cells sorting. In order to examine the role of TRPC3 in human melanoma, Short heparin RNA (shRNA) transductions with lentivirus encoding either TRPC3 or scramble was performed according to the protocols of the manufacture. Secretion level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 was assessed in the presence of Pyr3, TRPC selective inhibitor or not by gelatin zymography. We transplanted C8161 cells into the side chest of female Balb-c nude mice at the level of intradermal depth. Immediately after tumors were formed, Pyr3 or DMSO (control) was injected intradermaly around the tumor every day. We measured each diameters of tumor every two days, and calculated volume and regression rate. Result: mRNA and protein of TRPC3 were expressed in multiple human melanoma cell lines and primary tissue. Proliferation rate of TRPC3 knocked down C8161 decreases in 48 hours (p & lt;0.0001). Pyr3, one of pyrazole compounds that is known to inhibit selectively TRPC3, suppressed cell proliferation (IC50 12.99 μM). Both knockdown of TRPC3 and Pyr3 decreased path length of migration (p & lt;0.01, p & lt;0.01 respectively). These results suggested that TRPC3 was involved in cell proliferation and migration of C8161. Pyr3 also shortened migration path length by tracking the movement of C8161cells. Secretion level of MMP9 was decreased by Pyr3. Pyr3 inhibited phosphorylation of signal transducer and activators of transcription (STAT) 5, suggesting that TRPC3-induced proliferation and migration were regulated by, at least in part, the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Tumor volume transplanted on mice side chest was dramatically and immediately reduced by Pyr3 local injection, while that of control group was increased. These results indicated that TRPC3 is involved in cell proliferations not only in vivo but also in vitro. Conclusion: TRPC3 regulates proliferation and migration, and thus tumor growth and metastasis of melanoma, suggesting that TRPC3 could be a novel target for treating BRAF wild type human melanomas.

    Abstract: Background. Motor recovery after stroke is of great clinical interest. Besides magnetic resonance imaging functional connectivity, electroencephalographic synchrony is also an available biomarker. However, the clinical relevance of electroencephalographic synchrony in hemiparesis has not been fully understood. Objective. We aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of the phase synchrony index (PSI) by showing associations between the PSI and poststroke outcome in patients with hemiparesis. Methods. This observational study included 40 participants with cortical ischemic stroke (aged 69.8 ± 13.8 years) and 22 healthy controls (aged 66.9 ± 6.5 years). Nineteen-channel electroencephalography was recorded at 36.9 ± 11.8 days poststroke. Upper extremity Fugl-Meyer scores were assessed at the time of admission/before discharge (FM-UE1/FM-UE2; 32.6 ± 12.3/121.0 ± 44.7 days poststroke). Then, correlations between the PSIs and FM-UE1 as well as impairment reduction after rehabilitation (FM-UEgain) were analyzed. Results. The interhemispheric PSI (alpha band) between the primary motor areas (M1s) was lower in patients than in controls and was selectively correlated with FM-UE1 ( P = .001). In contrast, the PSI (theta band) centered on the contralesional M1 was higher in patients than in controls and was selectively correlated with FM-UEgain ( P = .003). These correlations remained significant after adjusting for confounding factors (age, time poststroke, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, and lesion volume). Furthermore, the latter correlation was significant in severely impaired patients (FM-UE1 ≤ 10). Conclusions. This study showed that the PSIs were selectively correlated with motor impairment and recovery. Therefore, the PSIs may be potential biomarkers in persons with a hemispheric infarction.

    Abstract: Bronchogenic cyst is very difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We report two cases of bronchogenic cyst of the esophagus diagnosed and treated by thoracoscopic resection or endoscopic mucosal incision. Thoracoscopic resection was performed to diagnose and treat case 1, while in case 2, histological diagnosis was obtained with an endoscopic mucosal incision. On endoscopic ultrasonography, the lesion characteristically demonstrated two components consisting of an anechoic and homogeneous echoic pattern. Although it is very rare for bronchogenic cyst to be complicated by malignancy, histological diagnosis is necessary. If tumor localization is in the esophageal wall and the safety of a mucosal incision can be confirmed, endoscopic incision is a good alternative that allows less invasive diagnosis and treatment than surgery or thoracoscopy.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose. Stroke-induced focal brain lesions often exert remote effects via residual neural network activity. Electroencephalographic (EEG) techniques can assess neural network modifications after brain damage. Recently, EEG phase synchrony analyses have shown associations between the level of large-scale phase synchrony of brain activity and clinical symptoms; however, few reports have assessed such associations in stroke patients. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical relevance of hemispheric phase synchrony in stroke patients by calculating its correlation with clinical status. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 19 patients with post-acute ischemic stroke admitted for inpatient rehabilitation. Interhemispheric phase synchrony indices (IH-PSIs) were computed in 2 frequency bands (alpha [α], and beta [β] ), and associations between indices and scores of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and the Fugl−Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA) were analyzed. For further assessments of IH-PSIs, ipsilesional intrahemispheric PSIs (IntraH-PSIs) as well as IH- and IntraH-phase lag indices (PLIs) were also evaluated. Results. IH-PSIs correlated significantly with FIM scores and NIHSS scores. In contrast, IH-PSIs did not correlate with FMA scores. IntraH-PSIs correlate with FIM scores after removal of the outlier. The results of analysis with PLIs were consistent with IH-PSIs. Conclusions. The PSIs correlated with performance on the activities of daily living scale but not with scores on a pure motor impairment scale. These results suggest that large-scale phase synchrony represented by IH-PSIs provides a novel surrogate marker for clinical status after stroke.
