Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to clarify, using ultrasound imaging, (1) whether the area and contraction of GH change in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery and (2) whether the changes in the area and contraction of GH are related to decline in swallowing function. METHODS The participants were 21 female patients over 65 years of age who underwent hip fracture surgery. The patients were divided into two groups based on the results of swallowing assessment by water drinking: One with normal swallowing function (NSF) and the other with suspected decline in swallowing function (DSF). Sagittal cross-sectional area (SA) of GH at rest and the shortening rate (SR) of GH upon contraction during swallowing were compared at two time points: immediately and 2 weeks after surgery. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for intra-group comparisons, and Mann-Whitney U-test was used for between-group comparisons. RESULT SA of GH decreased significantly at 2 weeks after surgery in both groups, regardless of their swallowing function. In the intra-group comparison, SR significantly decreased (worsened) only in DSF group. SR at 2 weeks after surgery was significantly higher in NSF than in the DSF. In the inter-group comparison, DSF showed a significantly smaller (worse) change of SR than NSF in 2 weeks after surgery. CONCLUSION Decrease in muscle mass, or atrophy, of GH observed in both NSF and DSF, did not coincide with the post-operative change in GH contraction of the two groups. The results suggest the importance of continuous swallowing assessment in the elderly individuals during their perioperative period.

Reliability and validity of ultrasound to measure of muscle mass following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Sci Rep 2022; 12:1538. [PMID: 35087177 PMCID: PMC8795441 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-05577-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients frequently show physical dysfunction due to loss of muscle mass. This study aimed to clarify the reliability and validity of ultrasound in evaluating muscle mass and to analyze the patterns of change in muscle mass before and after allo-HSCT. We conducted a prospective observational study using data from 68 patients who had undergone their first allo-HSCT. We evaluated the thickness of the quadriceps, biceps, and suprahyoid muscle. Three individual evaluators underwent this examination for each muscle before transplantation and on days 30, 90, and 180 after allo-HSCT. Inter-rater reliability was calculated using the interclass correlation (ICC), and the level of correlation between muscle mass measured by ultrasound and psoas muscle mass assessed using computed tomography (CT) was assessed using Pearson correlation. ICC values ranged from 0.897 to 0.977 in the measurement. The correlation scores were 0.730, 0.546 and 0.579 between psoas muscle and the biceps, quadriceps, and suprahyoid muscle. The thickness of the biceps and quadriceps muscle were both significantly decreased after allo-HSCT from baseline. These results showed that the ultrasound technique was a reliable tool for evaluating muscle mass and detecting changes in muscle mass following allo-HSCT.

Digastric muscle mass and intensity in older patients with sarcopenic dysphagia by ultrasonography. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 21:14-19. [PMID: 33227825 DOI: 10.1111/ggi.14079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2020] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate digastric muscle mass and intensity between no sarcopenic dysphagia and sarcopenic dysphagia. METHODS Patients aged ≥65 years were enrolled. According to the diagnostic algorithm for sarcopenic dysphagia, the patients were divided into two groups, no sarcopenic dysphagia and sarcopenic dysphagia. Handgrip strength, gait speed, skeletal muscle mass, tongue pressure, Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form and Food Intake LEVEL Scale were investigated. Digastric muscle mass and intensity were examined by ultrasonography. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to analyze two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent factors for the presence of sarcopenic dysphagia. To estimate the accuracy of diagnosing sarcopenic dysphagia, a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed for digastric muscle mass and intensity. RESULTS Forty-five patients (mean ± SD, 84.3 ± 7.8 years, 22 men, 23 women) including 19 no sarcopenic dysphagia and 26 sarcopenic dysphagia were examined. In sarcopenic dysphagia, lower BMI, Food Intake LEVEL Scale, Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form and smaller muscle mass and greater muscle intensity were found compared with no sarcopenic dysphagia. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, digastric muscle mass and intensity were identified as independent factors for sarcopenic dysphagia. The cut-off value of muscle mass was 75.1 mm2 (area under curve: 0.731, sensitivity: 0.692, specificity: 0.737) and muscle intensity was 27.8 (area under curve: 0.823, sensitivity: 0.923, specificity: 0.632). CONCLUSIONS Digastric muscle mass was smaller and muscle intensity was greater in sarcopenic dysphagia than no sarcopenic dysphagia. Ultrasonography of digastric muscle, as well as the tongue and geniohyoid muscle, is useful. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2021; 21: 14-19.

[PMID: 33087067 PMCID: PMC7579958 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-020-01832-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sarcopenia and dysphagia are prevalent health issues as the elderly population continues to grow. However, whether sarcopenia, defined by either reduced handgrip strength or gait speed, would lead to pathological effects on swallowing function is still a matter of debate. Studies focusing on subclinical changes in the swallowing function in the sarcopenic elderly are lacking. This study evaluates the swallowing function in the sarcopenic elderly without dysphagia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted including subjects recruited from the community. Ninety-four individuals aged 65 and older without dysphagia were divided into two groups: sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia. The swallowing assessment included tongue pressure measurement, hyoid displacement (HD), hyoid velocity (HV) measurement with submental ultrasonography, 100-ml water-swallowing test, and the 10-item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10). Results The average tongue pressure was 47.0 ± 13.7 and 48.6 ± 11.5 kPa in the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups, respectively (p = 0.55), whereas the average HD during swallowing was 15.3 ± 4.4 and 13.0 ± 4.2 mm in the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups, respectively (p < 0.05). The median of HV during swallowing was 19.5 (6.41–45.86) and 15.9 (3.7–39.7) mm/s in the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia group (p < 0.05). The median of time needed for consuming 100 ml water was 12.43 (3.56–49.34) and 5.66 (2.07–19.13) seconds in the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups, respectively (p < 0.05). The median of the EAT-10 score was 0 (0–2) and 0 (0–1) in the sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia groups, respectively (p < 0.05). Conclusions In elderly individuals, swallowing function was significantly impaired with sarcopenia before clinical symptoms become clear. However, tongue muscles exhibited resistance to sarcopenia. We observed compensative strategies in patients with sarcopenia, such as reduced swallowing speed and increased hyoid bone movement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Age-related decline in the intrinsic lingual musculature could contribute to swallowing disorders, yet the effects of age on these muscles is unknown. We hypothesized there is reduced muscle fiber size and shifts to slower myosin heavy chain (MyHC) fiber types with age. METHODS Intrinsic lingual muscles were sampled from 8 young adult (9 months) and 8 old (32 months) Fischer 344/Brown Norway rats. Fiber size and MyHC were determined by fluorescent immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Age was associated with a reduced number of rapidly contracting muscle fibers, and more slowly contracting fibers. Decreased fiber size was found only in the transverse and verticalis muscles. DISCUSSION Shifts in muscle composition from faster to slower MyHC fiber types may contribute to age-related changes in swallowing duration. Decreasing muscle fiber size in the protrusive transverse and verticalis muscles may contribute to reductions in maximum isometric tongue pressure found with age. Differences among regions and muscles may be associated with different functional demands. Muscle Nerve 56: E119-E125, 2017.
