[PMID: 26527071 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2015.10.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2015] [Revised: 10/08/2015] [Accepted: 10/09/2015] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the fiber-type distribution of the orbicularis oris muscle at the philtrum in healthy infants by immunohistochemistry and examine the relationship between orbicularis oris and philtrum structure. METHODS Samples of the upper lip were obtained from two infant cadavers. Serial sagittal sections were obtained at the midline of the philtral dimple, unilateral philtral ridge, and the lateral side. Three sections from each site were prepared for immunohistochemical staining using myosin heavy chain fast fiber (MHCf) and myosin heavy chain slow fiber (MHCs) antibodies to determine the ratio of fast to slow skeletal muscle fibers. RESULTS The ratio of fast to slow muscle fibers differed significantly among the superficial orbicularis oris muscle (98.30%:1.13%), deep pars peripheralis (95.30%:3.14%), and deep pars marginalis (91.31%:5.74%), with a significantly higher percentage of slow fibers in the pars marginalis compared to pars peripheralis (P=0.002) and fast fibers in the superficial muscle compared to pars marginalis and peripheralis (both P=0.000). Similarly, the fast:slow fiber ratio differed among the superficial philtral dimple (95.88%:2.41%), superficial philtral ridge (98.52%:1.11%), and superficial midlateral philtral ridge (99.07%:0.66%), with a higher percentage of fast fibers higher on the lateral side of the superficial philtral ridge than at the philtral ridge (P=0.030) and higher at the philtral ridge than the philtral dimple (P=0.001). The fast:slow fiber ratio did not differ within the pars peripheralis at the philtral dimple (93.94%:4.19%), philtral ridge (94.49%:3.84%), and lateral philtral ridge (95.79%:2.70%) (all P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Philtum structure is likely determined in part by the distribution of muscle fiber types among philtral dimple, ridge, and lateral side. These differences should be considered in cleft lip repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apelin is an endogenous ligand for the G-protein-coupled 7-transmembrane receptor, APJ. The administration of apelin-13, a truncated 13-amino acid apelin peptide, in diet-induced obese mice is reported to result in a decrease in adiposity due to the increase of energy expenditure with an increase in the expression of uncoupling proteins. METHODS We systematically compared the phenotype of human apelin-transgenic (apelin-Tg) mice fed standard or high-fat diets (HFD) with that of non-Tg control mice to clarify the effect of apelin on obesity. The beneficial effects of apelin were evaluated by multiple assay methods including indirect calorimetrical measurements, gene expression analysis, and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS Apelin-Tg mice inhibited HFD-induced obesity without altering food intake and exhibited increased oxygen consumption and body temperature compared to non-Tg controls. Interestingly, the mRNA expressions of angiopoietin-1 (Ang1), a key molecule for vascular maturation, and its receptor, endothelium-specific receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (Tie2), were significantly upregulated in the skeletal muscle of HFD-fed apelin-Tg mice, and the areas of anti-CD31 antibody-positive endothelial cells also increased. Furthermore, both the aerobic type-I muscle fibre ratio and the DNA copy number of mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 increased 2.0- and 1.4-fold in skeletal muscle, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that apelin stimulates energy expenditure via increase vascular mass and mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscle. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Apelin is a prerequisite factor for anti-obesity by stimulating energy expenditure via regulating homeostatic energy balance.

Abstract
We previously showed that severe inspiratory resistive loads cause acute (<1 h) cardiorespiratory failure characterized by arterial hypotension, multifocal myocardial infarcts, and diaphragmatic fatigue. The mechanisms responsible for cardiovascular failure are unknown, but one factor may be the increased ventricular afterload caused by the large negative intrathoracic pressures generated when breathing against an inspiratory load. Because expiratory threshold loads increase intrathoracic pressure and decrease left ventricular afterload, we hypothesized that anesthetized rats forced to breathe against such a load would experience only diaphragmatic failure. Loading approximately doubled end-expiratory lung volume, halved respiratory frequency, and caused arterial hypoxemia and hypercapnia, respiratory acidosis, and increased inspiratory drive. Although hyperinflation immediately reduced the diaphragm's mechanical advantage, fatigue did not occur until near load termination. Mean arterial pressure progressively fell, becoming significant (cardiovascular failure) midway through loading despite tachycardia. Loading was terminated (endurance 125 +/- 43 min; range 82-206 min) when mean arterial pressure dropped below 50 mmHg. Blood samples taken immediately after load termination revealed hypoglycemia, hyperkalemia, and cardiac troponin T, the last indicating myocardial injury that was, according to histology, mainly in the right ventricle. This damage probably reflects a combination of decreased O(2) delivery (decreased venous return and arterial hypoxemia) and greater afterload due to hyperinflation-induced increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. Thus, in rats breathing at an increased end-expiratory lung volume, cardiorespiratory, not just respiratory, failure still occurred. Right heart injury and dysfunction may contribute to the increased morbidity and mortality associated with acute exacerbations of obstructive airway disease.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical differences between the muscular fiber types in the pars peripheralis and pars marginalis of human orbicularis oris muscle. Five upper lips of fresh human adult cadavers were used. Full thickness of the upper lip, 5 mm in width, was harvested vertically at a peak point of cupid's bow. Troponin I-SS and Troponin I-FS antibodies were used to determinate the slow and fast skeletal muscle fibers. The pars peripheralis is composed of slow fibers (22%) and fast fibers (73%). The pars marginalis is composed of slow fibers (30%) and fast fibers (66%). We assume that the pars peripheralis and pars marginalis should be repaired sortably because the muscle reaction and endurance are not the same.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying acute respiratory failure induced by respiratory loads are unclear. We hypothesized that, in contrast to a moderate inspiratory resistive load, a severe one would elicit central respiratory failure (decreased respiratory drive) before diaphragmatic injury and fatigue. We also wished to elucidate the factors that predict endurance time and peak tracheal pressure generation. Anesthetized rats breathed air against a severe load ( approximately 75% of the peak tracheal pressure generated during a 30-s occlusion) until pump failure (fall in tracheal pressure to half; mean 38 min). Hypercapnia and hypoxemia developed rapidly ( approximately 4 min), coincident with diaphragmatic fatigue (decreased ratio of transdiaphragmatic pressure to peak integrated phrenic activity) and the detection in blood of the fast isoform of skeletal troponin I (muscle injury). At approximately 23 min, respiratory frequency and then blood pressure fell, followed immediately by secondary diaphragmatic fatigue. Blood taken after termination of loading contained cardiac troponin T (myocardial injury). Contrary to our hypothesis, diaphragmatic fatigue and injury occurred early in loading before central failure, evident only as a change in the timing but not the drive component of the central respiratory pattern generator. Stepwise multiple regression analysis selected changes in mean arterial pressure and arterial Pco(2) during loading as the principal contributing factors in load endurance time, and changes in mean arterial pressure as the principal contributing factor in peak tracheal pressure generation. In conclusion, the temporal development of respiratory failure is not stereotyped but depends on load magnitude; moreover respiratory loads induce cardiorespiratory, not just respiratory, failure.

Abstract
To evaluate injury to respiratory muscles of rats breathing against an inspiratory resistive load, we measured the release into blood of a myofilament protein, skeletal troponin I (sTnI), and related this release to the time course of changes in arterial blood gases, respiratory drive (phrenic activity), and pressure generation. After approximately 1.5 h of loading, hypercapnic ventilatory failure occurred, coincident with a decrease in the ratio of transdiaphragmatic pressure to integrated phrenic activity (P(di)/ integral Phr) during sighs. This was followed at approximately 1.9 h by a decrease in the P(di)/ integral Phr ratio during normal loaded breaths (diaphragmatic fatigue). Loading was terminated at pump failure (a decline of P(di) to half of steady-state loaded values), approximately 2.4 h after load onset. During 30 s occlusions post loading, rats generated pressure profiles similar to those during occlusions before loading, with comparable blood gases, but at a higher neural drive. In a second series of rats, we tested for sTnI release using Western blot-direct serum analysis of blood samples taken before and during loading to pump failure. We detected only the fast isoform of sTnI, release beginning midway through loading. Differential detection with various monoclonal antibodies indicated the presence of modified forms of fast sTnI. The release of fast sTnI is consistent with load-induced injury of fast glycolytic fibres of inspiratory muscles, probably the diaphragm. Characterization of released fast sTnI may provide insights into the molecular basis of respiratory muscle dysfunction; fast sTnI may also prove useful as a marker of impending respiratory muscle fatigue.

Abstract
AIMS To produce a method of distinguishing between type 1 and 2 skeletal muscle fibres that would be more economical and reproducible than the standard ATPase method and be applicable to both fixed and frozen tissue. Because the ATPase method has been accepted as the basis for fibre identification for the past 50 years, the new method should not give significantly different results. METHODS Isoforms of myosin correlate with isoforms of myofibrillar ATPase and an immunohistochemical (IHC) double labelling protocol was devised using monoclonal antibodies to fast and slow myosin. This required one tissue section rather than four. The results of the two methods were compared by means of morphometric analysis of skeletal muscle biopsies from 20 normal healthy volunteers. RESULTS There were no significant differences (p = 0.57) in the percentages of type 1 (46% using the IHC method v 48% using ATPase) or type 2 fibres (54% v 52%, respectively). The 2a and 2b subtypes were distinguished easily. Analysis of variance revealed that cross sectional area (mu m(2)), diameter (mu m), form factor, and density of fibre staining (a measure of substrate-enzyme or protein) were all similar. The method worked equally well on fixed material. CONCLUSION An IHC method based on the fast and slow isoforms of myosin shows no significant differences in fibre type analysis from the standard ATPase method although it provides important advantages because it is applicable to fixed (including archival) material, is economical and reproducible, and yields a permanent preparation.

Abstract
We investigated the changes of muscle proteins in acute quadriplegic myopathy (AQM) using immunohistochemistry and stoichiometry. Cases of AQM were observed in which it was difficult to type muscle fibers with adenosine triphosphatase staining in biopsied muscle. Well-defined typing of these cases was possible by performing immunofluorescent staining using slow and fast skeletal troponin I (TnI) antibodies. By this means, small angular fibers were shown to be fast skeletal muscle, and myosin was absent from these muscle fibers. Actin and tropomyosin were maintained. Muscle protein ratios were determined by stoichiometry following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of AQM myofibril specimens from four subjects. The myosin heavy chain/actin ratio was significantly decreased compared with a normal control group and other neuromuscular diseases. These pathologic findings returned to normal during recovery from AQM. Thus, myosin selectively decreases, whereas actin and regulatory proteins located above it are maintained during AQM.
