Abstract
Physical exercise is beneficial for preventing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cognitive decline through several mechanisms, including suppression of neuroinflammation and neuronal loss in the hippocampus. Despite these exercise-induced benefits in AD pathology, less attention has been paid to the importance of maintaining exercise and the consequences of detraining. This study aimed to investigate the effects of early exercise intervention and detraining on age-related cognitive decline and its protective mechanisms using senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8). These mice were divided to four groups: no-exercise (No-Ex, n = 9), 4 months (4M)-detraining (n = 11), 2 months (2M)-detraining (n = 11), and long-term exercise (LT-Ex, n = 13). Age-related cognitive decline was prevented in the LT-Ex group compared with the No-Ex group through the suppression of neuronal loss, enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and inhibition of neuroinflammation corresponding to reduced M1 and increased M2 microglia in the hippocampus. No significant differences were observed in cognitive function between the detraining and No-Ex groups. However, the 2M-detraining group showed increased BDNF positive area in the CA1 region and the enhancement of anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype microglia. In contrast, no statistically beneficial exercise-induced changes in the hippocampus were observed in the 4M-detrainig group. These results showed that early exercise intervention prevented age-related cognitive deficits in AD progression by suppressing neuronal loss and neuroinflammation in the hippocampus. Exercise-induced benefits, including the anti-inflammation in the hippocampus, may be retained after exercise cessation, even if exercise-induced beneficial effects decline in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
Purpose Pain disrupts the daily and social lives of patients with neuropathic pain. Effective treatment of neuropathic pain is difficult. Pharmacological treatments for neuropathic pain are limited, and 40–60% of patients do not achieve even partial relief of their pain. This study created a chronic constriction injury (CCI) model in rats to examine the effects of regular exercise on neuropathic pain relief, elucidate the mechanism, and determine the effects of neuropathic pain in the hippocampus. Methods CCI model rats were randomly divided into exercise (Ex) and no exercise (No-Ex) groups. Normal rats (Normal group) were used as controls. The Ex group exercised on a treadmill at 20 m/min for 30 min, 5 days per week for 5 weeks post-CCI. The 50% pain response threshold was assessed by mechanical stimulation. Using immunohistochemistry, we examined activation of glial cells (microglia and astrocytes) by CCR2 and TRAF6 expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn and DCX and PROX1 expression in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. Results The 50% pain response threshold was significantly lower in the Ex than in the No-Ex group at 5 weeks post-CCI, indicating pain relief. In the spinal cord dorsal horn, IBA1, CCR2, and TRAF6 expression was markedly lower in the Ex group than in the No-Ex group at 3 weeks post-CCI. IBA1, GFAP, CCR2, and TRAF6 expression was markedly lower in the Ex group than in the No-Ex group at 5 weeks post-CCI. In the hippocampus, DCX, but not PROX1, expression was significantly higher in the Ex group than in the No-Ex group at 3 weeks post-CCI. At 5 weeks post-CCI, both DCX and PROX1 expression was markedly increased in the Ex group compared to the No-Ex group. Conclusion Our findings suggest that regular exercise can improve the neuropathic pain-induced neurogenic dysfunction in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.

Abstract
Perineural adhesions leading to neuropathy are one of the most undesirable consequences of peripheral nerve surgery. However, there are currently no widely used compounds with anti-adhesive effects in the field of peripheral nerve surgery. E8002 is a novel, anti-adhesive, multi-layer membrane that contains L-ascorbic acid (AA). Here, we investigated the effect and mechanism of E8002 in a rat sciatic nerve adhesion model. A total of 21 rats were used. Six weeks after surgery, macroscopic adhesion scores were significantly lower in the E8002 group (adhesion procedure followed by nerve wrapping with E8002) compared to the E8002 AA(−) group (adhesion procedure followed by nerve wrapping with the E8002 membrane excluding AA) and adhesion group (adhesion procedure but no treatment). Correspondingly, a microscopic examination revealed prominent scar tissue in the E8002 AA(−) and adhesion groups. Furthermore, an in vitro study using human blood samples showed that AA enhanced tissue-type, plasminogen activator-mediated fibrinolysis. Altogether, these results suggest that E8002 may exert an anti-adhesive action via AA and the regulation of fibrinolysis.

Abstract
Background. Brain injury often causes severe motor dysfunction, leading to difficulties with living a self-reliant social life. Injured neural circuits must be reconstructed to restore functions, but the adult brain is limited in its ability to restore neuronal connections. The combination of molecular targeting, which enhances neural plasticity, and rehabilitative motor exercise is an important therapeutic approach to promote neuronal rewiring in the spared circuits and motor recovery. Objective. We tested whether genetic reduction of Src homology 2-containing phosphatase-1 (SHP-1), an inhibitor of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) signaling, has synergistic effects with rehabilitative training to promote reorganization of motor circuits and functional recovery in a mouse model of brain injury. Methods. Rewiring of the corticospinal circuit was examined using neuronal tracers following unilateral cortical injury in control mice and in Shp-1 mutant mice subjected to voluntary exercise. Recovery of motor functions was assessed using motor behavior tests. Results. We found that rehabilitative exercise decreased SHP-1 and increased BDNF and TrkB expression in the contralesional motor cortex after the injury. Genetic reduction of SHP-1 and voluntary exercise significantly increased sprouting of corticospinal tract axons and enhanced motor recovery in the impaired forelimb. Conclusions. Our data demonstrate that combining voluntary exercise and SHP-1 suppression promotes motor recovery and neural circuit reorganization after brain injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preconditioning exercise can exert neuroprotective effects after stroke; however, the effects of exercise intensity, frequency, duration are unknown. We investigated the neuroprotective effect of different frequency preconditioning exercise on neuronal apoptosis after cerebral ischemia in rats. METHODS Rats were divided into the following five groups: 5 times a week of exercise (5/w-Ex) group, 3 times a week of exercise (3/w-Ex) group, once a week of exercise (1/w-Ex) group, no exercise (No-Ex) group, and intact control (control) group. Rats were made to run on a treadmill for 30 min per day at a speed of 25 m/min for 3 weeks. After the running program, the rats were subjected to 60-min left middle cerebral artery occlusion. Two days after ischemia, the cerebral infarct volume, neurological and motor function, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax)/B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) ratio, expression of caspase-3, and TUNEL positive cells were examined in the cerebral cortex surrounding the ischemic zone. RESULTS The 3/w-Ex and 5/w-Ex groups showed significantly reduced infarct volumes compared with the No-Ex group, but the 1/w-Ex group did not. In addition, the 3/w-Ex and 5/w-Ex groups had improved neurological scores and sensorimotor function compared with the No-Ex group. The Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, expression of caspase-3, and TUNEL-positive cells significantly decreased in the penumbra area in the 3/w-Ex or 5/w-Ex groups compared with the No-Ex group. DISCUSSION Our findings suggested that three times or more per week of high-intensity preconditioning exercise exert neuroprotective effects through the downregulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase-3 activation after stroke. ABBREVIATIONS TUNEL: terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated biotinylated dUTP nick and labeling; MCAO:middle cerebral artery occlusion; BAX:Bcl-2-associated X protein; Bcl-2: B-cell lymphoma 2; TTC: 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazorlium chloride.

Abstract
Neuropathic pain after spinal surgery, so-called failed back surgery syndrome, is a frequently observed common complication. One cause of the pain is scar tissue formation, observed as post-surgical epidural adhesions. These adhesions may compress surrounding spinal nerves, resulting in pain, even after successful spinal surgery. E8002 is an anti-adhesive membrane. In Japan, a clinical trial of E8002 is currently ongoing in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. However, animal experiments have not been performed for E8002 in spinal surgery. We assessed the anti-adhesive effect of E8002 in a rat laminectomy model. The dura matter was covered with an E8002 membrane or left uncovered as a control. Neurological evaluations and histopathological findings were compared at six weeks postoperatively. Histopathological analyses were performed by hematoxylin–eosin and aldehyde fuchsin-Masson Goldner staining. Three assessment areas were selected at the middle and margins of the laminectomy sites, and the numbers of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells were counted. Blinded histopathological evaluation revealed that adhesions and scar formation were reduced in the E8002 group compared with the control group. The E8002 group had significantly lower numbers of fibroblasts and inflammatory cells than the control group. The present results indicate that E8002 can prevent epidural scar adhesions after laminectomy.

Abstract
Background Exercise regimens are established methods that can relieve neuropathic pain. However, the relationship between frequency and intensity of exercise and multiple cellular responses of exercise-induced alleviation of neuropathic pain is still unclear. We examined the influence of exercise frequency on neuropathic pain and the intracellular responses in a sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) model. Materials and methods Rats were assigned to four groups as follows: CCI and high-frequency exercise (HFE group), CCI and low-frequency exercise (LFE group), CCI and no exercise (No-Ex group), and naive animals (control group). Rats ran on a treadmill, at a speed of 20 m/min, for 30 min, for 5 (HFE) or 3 (LFE) days a week, for a total of 5 weeks. The 50% withdrawal threshold was evaluated for mechanical sensitivity. The activation of glial cells (microglia and astrocytes), expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and μ-opioid receptor in the spinal dorsal horn and endogenous opioid in the midbrain were examined using immunohistochemistry. Opioid receptor antagonists (naloxone) were administered using intraperitoneal injection. Results The development of neuropathic pain was related to the activation of glial cells, increased BDNF expression, and downregulation of the μ-opioid receptor in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn. In the No-Ex group, neuropathic pain showed the highest level of mechanical hypersensitivity at 2 weeks, which improved slightly until 5 weeks after CCI. In both exercise groups, the alleviation of neuropathic pain was accelerated through the regulation of glial activation, BDNF expression, and the endogenous opioid system. The expression of BDNF and endogenous opioid in relation to exercise-induced alleviation of neuropathic pain differed in the HFE and LFE groups. The effects of exercise-induced alleviation of mechanical hypersensitivity were reversed by the administration of naloxone. Conclusion The LFE and HFE program reduced neuropathic pain. Our findings indicated that aerobic exercise-induced alleviated neuropathic pain through the regulation of glial cell activation, expression of BDNF in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn, and the endogenous opioid system.
