Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical function and knee kinematics recovery after discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) tear surgery are essential for a better prognosis. However, these alterations remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate changes in physical function and knee kinematics following saucerization and DLM tear repair. METHODS We enrolled 16 patients who underwent saucerization and DLM tear repair. Postoperative changes in knee kinematics during gait, and physical function, were evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS The peak flexion angle of the operated limb during weight acceptance was significantly higher than that of the contralateral limb at 3 (operated limb: 34.6 ± 8.9°, contralateral limb: 23.7 ± 8.3°; P < 0.01) and 6 months (operated limb: 32.1 ± 9.7°, contralateral limb: 24.6 ± 8.2°; P = 0.03) postoperatively, but not at 12 months (operated limb: 27.1 ± 7.1°, contralateral limb: 23.1 ± 9.5°; P = 0.22) postoperatively. The knee extensor strength of the operated limb was significantly lower than that of the contralateral limb at 3 (operated limb: 1.00 ± 0.59 Nm/kg, contralateral limb: 1.37 ± 0.59 Nm/kg; P = 0.01), 6 (operated limb: 1.22 ± 0.55 Nm/kg, contralateral limb: 1.48 ± 0.60 Nm/kg; P < 0.01), and 12 months (operated limb: 1.39 ± 0.57 Nm/kg, contralateral limb: 1.55 ± 0.64 Nm/kg; P = 0.04) postoperatively. CONCLUSION Knee extension deficits and extensor weakness persisted at 6 months after saucerization and repair of DLM tears. Postoperative rehabilitation should be focused on knee extension function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise, particularly resistance exercise, is beneficial for sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the effects of exercise on events remain unclear. We aimed to examine the effects of exercise on serious events in patients with liver cirrhosis using a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS A literature search was conducted in 2022. Eleven RCTs were selected for the meta-analysis (exercise group, n = 232; control group, n = 193). Serious events were defined as death or serious complications according to the original articles. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. The primary outcome was the incidence of serious events. RESULTS In the 11 RCTs, the incidence of serious events was 5.6% (13/232) and 12.3% (24/193) in the exercise and control groups, respectively. However, a meta-analysis demonstrated no significant difference in the incidence of serious events between the two groups (risk difference [RD] - 0.03, 95% confidence intervals (CI) - 0.07 to 0.02). In a stratification analysis based on a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise, five RCTs (n = 185) were enrolled. The incidence of serious events was 6.25% (7/112) and 24.7% (18/73) in the combination exercise and control groups, respectively. A meta-analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in the incidence of serious events in the combination exercise group compared with the control group (RD - 0.12; 95% CI - 0.21 to - 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Resistance exercise in combination with aerobic exercise reduces serious events in patients with liver cirrhosis. A combination of aerobic and resistance exercise may be beneficial to improve the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Nutritional disorders in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with cachexia, sarcopenia, and weight loss. In particular, weight loss is a prognostic factor in COPD independent of pulmonary function, and energy malnutrition is a contributing factor. Frequent exacerbation hospitalization is also a prognostic factor for COPD patients. The impact of energy malnutrition on adverse events such as exacerbation hospitalization is unknown, and this study aimed to investigate that. We included 163 male subjects with COPD. Respiratory quotient (RQ), an index of energy malnutrition, was calculated by expiratory gas analysis using an indirect calorimeter. RQ <0.85 was categorized as the energy malnutrition group. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the hospitalization avoidance rate between the with and without energy malnutrition groups. Independent factors associated with exacerbation hospitalization were evaluated by Cox regression analysis. We finally analyzed data from 56 selected subjects (median age: 74 y). The exacerbation hospitalization rate was significantly higher in the energy malnutrition group. Fifty percent of the energy malnutrition group was hospitalized for an exacerbation, and the median hospitalization avoidance time was 701 d. In Cox regression analysis (adjusted for age, BMI, mMRC dyspnea scale score, %FEV1, and 6-min walk test), energy malnutrition was an independent factor associated with exacerbation hospitalization (HR 4.14, 95% CI 1.13-15.1, p=0.03). Energy malnutrition may be the risk factor for exacerbation hospitalization. Energy malnutrition may be an early nutritional disorder and early detection and intervention may reduce exacerbation hospitalizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Locomotive syndrome (LS) is characterized by reduced mobility. Clinical decision limit (CDL) stage 3 in LS indicates physical frailty. Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) is one of the causes of LS, for which lumbar surgery is considered to improve the CDL stage. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of lumbar surgery and independent factors for improving the CDL stage in patients with LSS. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at our University Hospital. A total of 157 patients aged ≥ 65 years with LSS underwent lumbar surgery. The 25-Question Geriatric Locomotive Function scale (GLFS-25) was used to test for LS, and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) was used to evaluate functional ability. Lower limb pain was evaluated using a visual analog scale. Patients with at least one improvement in the CDL stage following lumbar surgery were included in the improvement group. Differences in lower limb pain intensity between the groups were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to determine correlations between Δ lower limb pain and Δ GLFS-25. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with improvement in LS. RESULTS The proportion of patients with improved CDL stage was 45.1% (improvement/non-improvement: 32/39). Δ Lower limb pain was significantly reduced in the improvement group compared with that in the non-improvement group (51.0 [36.3-71.0] vs 40.0 [4.0-53.5]; p = 0.0107). Δ GLFS-25 was significantly correlated with Δ lower limb pain (r = 0.3774, p = 0.0031). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that TUG and age were significantly associated with improvement in LS (odds ratio, 1.22; 95% confidence interval: 1.07-1.47). CONCLUSIONS Lumbar surgery effectively improved the CDL stage in patients with LSS. In addition, TUG was an independent factor associated with improvement in the CDL.

Abstract
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) can interfere with daily life and quality of life (QOL). Evaluating physical function and QOL and helping patients to improve is the focus of rehabilitation. Phase angle (PhA) assessment is widely used to measure body composition and is considered an indicator of physical function and QOL. This study investigated the relationship between PhA and physical function, physical activity, and QOL in patients with LSS. PhA, handgrip strength, walking speed, Timed Up and Go test (TUG), Life Space Assessment (LSA), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ), and EQ-5D were assessed and statistically analyzed. The study included 133 patients with LSS. Multiple regression analysis of PhA adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index (Model 1) and for Model 1 + PNI (Model 2) showed significant correlations (P < 0.05) with handgrip strength, walking speed, TUG, and LSA. Regarding QOL, PhA was significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with lumbar function in JOABPEQ. PhA was associated with physical function and QOL in patients with LSS and might be a new clinical indicator in this population.

Abstract
A hybrid training system (HTS) combining antagonist muscle electrical stimulation and voluntary muscle contraction has been developed using eccentric antagonist muscle contractions with electrical stimulation as resistance to voluntary muscle contractions. We devised an exercise method using HTS combined with a cycle ergometer (HCE). The purpose of this study was to compare the muscle strength, muscle volume, aerobic functions and lactate metabolism of HCE and a volitional cycle ergometer (VCE). A total of 14 male participants performed exercise on a bicycle ergometer for 30 min per session, 3 times per week for 6 weeks. We divided 14 participants into an HCE group (7 participants) and a VCE group (7 participants). The workload was set at 40% of each participant's peak oxygen uptake (V.O2peak). Electrodes were placed over each motor point on the quadriceps and hamstrings. The V.O2peak and anaerobic threshold significantly increased before and after training when using HCE rather than VCE. The HCE group had significantly increased extension and flexion muscle strength at 180 degrees/s in post-training measurements over pre-training measurements. Knee flexion muscle strength at 180 degrees/s tended to increase in the HCE group compared to the VCE group. The quadricep muscle cross-sectional area was significantly increased in the HCE group compared to the VCE group. Additionally, the HCE group had significantly decreased maximal lactate, measured every 5 min during exercise at the end of study, between pre and post-training. Thus, HCE may be a more effective training method for muscle strength, muscle mass and aerobic functions at 40% of each participant's V.O2peak than conventional cycling exercise. HCE could be applied not only as aerobic exercise but also as resistance training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical spondylotic myelopathy preoperative prognostic factors include age, preoperative severity, and disease duration. However, there are no reports on the relationship between changes in physical function during hospitalization and postoperative course, and in recent years, the length of hospital stay has shortened. We aimed to investigate whether changes in physical function during hospitalization can predict the postoperative outcome. METHODS We recruited 104 patients who underwent laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy by the same surgeon. Physical functions, including Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function (STEF), grip strength, timed up and go test, 10-m walk, and time to stand on one leg, were assessed at admission and discharge. Patients with the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score improvement rate of 50% or more were defined as the improved group. Decision tree analysis was investigated factor for identifying improvement in the JOA score. According to this analysis, we divided into two groups using age. Then, we conducted a logistic regression analysis to identify factors that improve the JOA score. RESULTS The improved and non-improved groups had 31 and 73 patients, respectively. The improved group was younger (p = 0.003) and had better improved Δgrip strength (p = 0.001) and ΔSTEF (p < .0007). Age was significantly positively correlated with disease duration (r = 0.4881, p = < .001). Disease duration exhibited a significant negative correlation with the JOA score improvement rate (r = - 0.2127, p = 0.031). Based on the decision tree analysis results, age was the first branching variable, with 15% of patients ≥ 67 years showing JOA score improvement. This was followed by ΔSTEF as the second branching factor. ΔSTEF was selected as the factor associated with JOA improvement in patients ≥ 67 years (odds ratio (OR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.90-0.99, p = .047); in patients < 67 years, Δgrip strength was identified (OR 0.53, CI 0.33‒0.85, p = .0086). CONCLUSIONS In the improved group, upper limb function improved more than lower limb function from the early postoperative period. Upper limb function changes during hospitalization were associated with outcomes one year postoperatively. Improvement factors in upper extremity function differed by age, with changes in grip strength in patients < 67 years and STEF in patients ≥ 67 years, reflecting the outcome at one year postoperatively.

Abstract
Fatty liver is known to be associated with extra-hepatic diseases including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and extra-hepatic cancers, which affect the prognosis and quality of life of the patients. The inter-organ crosstalk is mediated by metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance and visceral adiposity. Recently, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) was proposed as a new definition for fatty liver. MAFLD is characterized by the inclusion criteria of metabolic abnormality. Therefore, MAFLD is expected to identify patients at high risk of extra-hepatic complications. In this review, we focus on the relationships between MAFLD and multi-organ diseases. We also describe the pathogenic mechanisms of the inter-organ crosstalk.

Abstract
We developed a low-intensity 10-min resistance exercise program for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We report a case of NAFLD with elevated hepatic fibrosis indices, which were improved by a 60-week daily exercise program. A 71-year-old female patient with NAFLD whose hepatic fibrosis stage corresponded to F2 was referred to our hospital. She performed the exercise once a day with no changes in other lifestyle habits and medications. The homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance value and NAFLD-liver fat score, the Hepamet fibrosis score, and the enhanced liver fibrosis score decreased. The FIB-4 index and serum levels of Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer decreased to the reference values. We investigated the changes in chemokines/cytokines. The serum granulocyte-colony stimulating factor level was increased, and serum interferon-gamma-induced protein-10 and platelet-derived growth factor-BB levels were decreased. Our program may be beneficial for improving hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
Increased liver stiffness and insulin resistance are important therapeutic targets in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A hybrid training system (HTS) has been developed which combines application of electrical stimulation and volitional contractions. We compared the effect of walking exercise (5.6 km/h) both with and without simultaneous HTS on liver stiffness and insulin resistance. In a single-blind, controlled trial, 32 subjects with NAFLD were randomized to 12 weeks of triweekly 30 minute walking exercise with either HTS (HTS group) or without HTS (control group). Transient elastography for the assessment of liver stiffness, body weight, visceral fat, the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, fasting blood glucose, serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase were evaluated. Data were evaluated using the linear model after adjusting the baseline value. In the subjects with BMI of 27 kg/m2 or more, the decrement of transient elastography in the HTS group was significantly larger than in the control group (mean ± standard error: Δ2.13 ± 0.64 kPa vs. Δ-0.67 ± 0.42 kPa, p=0.0009). There were no significant differences between groups in other endpoints. These results showed that simultaneously combining electrical stimulation with walking exercise could potentially improve liver stiffness in people who have NAFLD. In fact, because the exercise effect was increased by HTS without increasing the walking speed, this HTS could be especially useful for obese or overweight subjects, in whom NAFLD and joint problems often coexist. However, its effects on insulin resistance and body composition were not clear.

Abstract
AIM Hepatic fibrosis is associated with various factors, including metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), insulin resistance, and alcohol intake in patients with morbid obesity. We investigated factors directly associated with hepatic fibrosis in patients with morbid obesity using a graphical model. METHODS We enrolled 134 consecutive patients with morbid obesity who underwent liver biopsy during sleeve gastrectomy (median age 43.5 years; MAFLD 78.4%; homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance [HOMA-IR] 5.97; >20 g/day alcohol intake 14.2%). Patients were classified into none/mild (F0/1; n = 77) or significant/advanced fibrosis (F2/3; n = 57) groups, based on histology. Factors associated with F2/3 were analyzed using logistic regression analysis and a graphical model. RESULTS F2/3 was observed in 42.5% of the enrolled patients. The prevalence of MAFLD and HOMA-IR values were significantly higher in the F2/3 group than in the F0/1 group; however, no significant difference in alcohol intake was observed between the two groups. On logistic regression analysis, MAFLD, but not HOMA-IR or alcohol intake, was the only independent factor associated with F2/3 (odds ratio 7.555; 95% confidence interval 2.235-25.544; p = 0.0011). The graphical model revealed that F2/3 directly interacted with MAFLD, diabetes mellitus, HOMA-IR, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Among these factors, MAFLD showed the strongest interaction with F2/3. CONCLUSIONS We determined that MAFLD was more directly associated with significant/advanced fibrosis than insulin resistance or hyperlipidemia, and alcohol intake was not directly associated with hepatic fibrosis. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease could be the most important factor for hepatic fibrosis in patients with morbid obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Metabolic dysfunction and associated systemic inflammation are risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COPD is highly prevalent in men. We investigated the impact of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and MAFLD-related systemic inflammation on COPD in men. METHODS We enrolled 2,041 men with fatty liver. Patients were classified into the COPD (n = 420/2041) and non-COPD (n = 1621/2041) groups. COPD and its high-risk group were diagnosed using the Japanese Respiratory Society Disease statement. Systemic inflammation was evaluated using the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio. Independent factors for COPD were investigated by multivariate analysis and decision-tree analysis. RESULTS The prevalence of MAFLD was significantly higher in the COPD group than in the non-COPD group. In multivariable analysis, in addition to heavy smoking and aging, MAFLD was identified as an independent factor for COPD (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.020-2.101, P = 0.0385). Decision-tree analysis showed that MAFLD, rather than heavy smoking, was the most influential classifier for COPD in non-elderly men (14% in MAFLD vs 6% in non-MAFLD groups). MAFLD was also the second most influential factor in elderly men who were not heavy smokers. In both groups, the CRP/albumin ratio was the first classifier for COPD (16% in the high CRP/albumin ratio group vs 3% in the low CRP/albumin ratio group of non-elderly men). CONCLUSIONS MAFLD is an independent predictor of COPD in men. MAFLD had a significant impact on COPD through systemic inflammation in men of all ages who were not heavy smokers. MAFLD may be useful to broadly identify COPD in men.

Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporosis combined with sarcopenia contributes to a high risk of falling, fracture, and even mortality. However, sarcopenia's impact on low back pain and quality of life (QOL) in patients with osteoporosis is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate low back pain and QOL in osteoporosis patients with sarcopenia. METHODS We assessed 100 ambulatory patients who came to our hospital for osteoporosis treatment. Low back pain was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with 100 being an extreme amount of pain and 0 no pain. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ) score was used to assess QOL after adjustment for age, history of vertebral fracture, and adult spinal deformity. Differences in low back pain intensity assessed by VAS between groups were evaluated by the Willcoxon rank-sum test. Covariance analysis was used to assess QOL. All data are expressed as either median, interquartile range, or average, standard error. RESULTS Patients were classified into the sarcopenia group (n = 32) and the non-sarcopenia group (n = 68). Low back pain intensity assessed by VAS was significantly higher in the sarcopenia group than in the non-sarcopenia group (33.0 [0-46.6] vs. 8.5 [0-40.0]; p < 0.05). The subscales of the JOABPEQ for low back pain were significantly lower in the sarcopenia group than in the non-sarcopenia group (65.0 ± 4.63 vs. 84.0 ± 3.1; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In this cross-sectional study, sarcopenia affected low back pain and QOL in ambulatory patients with osteoporosis. Sarcopenia may exacerbate low back pain and QOL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An elastic band (EB) is generally used with a low load for rotator cuff physical exercise, but the resulting increase in muscle strength is insufficient. We assessed the efficacy on external rotator muscle strength of the shoulder joint; of a hybrid training system (HTS) that resists the motion of a volitionally contracting agonist muscle using the force generated by its electrically stimulated antagonist vs. general rotator cuff exercise with EB. METHODS Twenty healthy men with no shoulder joint disorders were randomized to 6 weeks of triweekly 10-min rotator cuff exercise with HTS or EB in a clinical research laboratory. Isokinetic concentric external rotator muscle strength at angular velocities of 60°/s and 180°/s (CON60, CON180, respectively) and isokinetic eccentric external rotator muscle strength at an angular velocity of 60°/s (ECC60) were measured as rotator cuff function before and after 6 weeks of intervention. RESULTS There were no significant intergroup differences in baseline characteristics. There were statistically significant differences (p = 0.0358, p = 0.0213, respectively) in the increase in CON180 (mean ± SD) and ECC60 between the HTS group (Δ6.0 ± 6.0Nm, p = 0.015; Δ7.5 ± 4.7Nm p = 0.0007, respectively) and the EB group (Δ0.3 ± 5.2Nm, p = 0.8589; Δ1.8 ± 5.3 Nm p = 0.3133, respectively). There was a trend toward CON60 increasing in the HTS group (Δ4.7 ± 6.5Nm, p = 0.0494) which was greater than in the control group (Δ-0.9 ± 6.3Nm, p = 0.6637) (inter-group, p = 0.0677). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study support the conclusion that HTS is more effective for increasing external rotator muscle strength more effectively than EB. HTS would be useful for rotator cuff physical exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with hip fracture are limited as to physical activity. It is difficult to evaluate the physical function of the legs at admission; however, it is easy to measure grip strength, which has been reported to be correlated with systemic muscular strength and physical function. The objective of this study was to investigate the utility of grip strength in predicting functional outcome after hip fracture. METHODS Fifty-seven patients who underwent surgery for hip fracture were evaluated for height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), grip strength, bone density (femoral neck), hemoglobin, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Hasegawa's Dementia Scale-Revised (HDS-R), and albumin at admission and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at discharge. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relation between grip strength and the above variables. Furthermore, factors of walking acquisition were analyzed by logistic regression analysis and decision-tree analysis. RESULTS Correlation analysis showed that grip strength was positively correlated with bone density at admission and FIM at discharge and negatively correlated with age. In the logistic regression analysis, the independent factor associated with walking acquisition was grip strength (OR 1.26; 95%CI 1.018-1.566; p=0.0339). In the decisiontree analysis, grip strength was the initial divergence variable for walking acquisition (the percentage with walking acquisition was 80.0% of the patients with grip strength ≧13.2 kg VS. 18.7% of the patients with grip strength < 13.2 kg). CONCLUSIONS Grip strength at admission was definitive in predicting the functional outcome of patients with hip fracture who underwent surgery.

Abstract
It is well known that prolonged bed rest induces muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, cardiovascular deconditioning, bone loss, a loss of functional capacity, and the development of insulin resistance. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is anticipated to be an interventional strategy for disuse due to bed rest. A hybrid training system (HTS), synchronized neuromuscular electrical stimulation for voluntary exercise using an articular motion sensor, may increase the exercise load though bed rest. We assessed oxygen uptake or heart rate during knee bending exercise in the supine position on a bed both simultaneously combined with HTS and without HTS to evaluate exercise intensity on different days in ten healthy subjects (8 men and 2 women) by a randomized controlled crossover trial. The values of relative oxygen uptake during knee bending exercise with HTS were significantly greater than those during knee bending exercise without HTS (7.29 ± 0.91 ml/kg/min vs. 8.29 ± 1.06 ml/kg/min; p = 0.0115). That increment with HTS was a mean of 14.42 ± 13.99%. Metabolic equivalents during knee bending exercise with HTS and without HTS were 2.08 ± 0.26 and 2.39 ± 0.30, respectively. The values of heart rate during knee bending exercise with HTS were significantly greater than those during knee bending exercise without HTS (80.82 ± 9.19 bpm vs. 86.36 ± 5.50 bpm; p = 0.0153). HTS could increase exercise load during knee bending exercise which is easy to implement on a bed. HTS might be a useful technique as a countermeasure against the disuse due to bed rest, for example during acute care or the quarantine for infection prophylaxis.

Abstract
Reduction in activity links to the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is known to regulate an activity. We aimed to investigate the association between reduction in activity and BDNF in patients with NAFLD using data-mining analysis. We enrolled 48 NAFLD patients. Patients were classified into reduced (n = 21) or normal activity groups (n = 27) based on the activity score of the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire-NAFLD/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Circulating BDNF levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunoassay. Factors associated with reduced activity were analyzed using decision-tree and random forest analyses. A reduction in activity was seen in 43.8% of patients. Hemoglobin A1c and BDNF were identified as negative independent factors for reduced activity (hemoglobin A1c, OR 0.012, p = 0.012; BDNF, OR 0.041, p = 0.039). Decision-tree analysis showed that “BDNF levels ≥ 19.1 ng/mL” was the most important classifier for reduced activity. In random forest analysis, serum BDNF level was the highest-ranked variable for distinguishing between the reduced and normal activity groups (158 valuable importance). Reduced activity was commonly seen in patients with NAFLD. Data-mining analyses revealed that BNDF was the most important independent factor corresponding with the reduction in activity. BDNF may be an important target for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is associated with the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Insulin resistance is regulated by various cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory myokine, and selenoprotein P (SeP), a liver-derived secretory hepatokine. High levels of IL-6 and/or SeP have been shown to contribute to insulin resistance, and exercise is a first-line therapy for NAFLD. We have developed a hybrid training system (HTS): a neuromuscular electrical stimulation device to enhance exercise results. We aimed to investigate the effects of HTS on insulin resistance as well as serum IL-6 and SeP in patients with NAFLD. This is a randomized, single-blind (assessor), controlled trial. Subjects with NAFLD walked on a treadmill with or without HTS (9 subjects each) for 30 minutes three times a week for six weeks (HTS vs. control group; median age 45 vs. 45; male/female 5/4 vs. 6/3). We examined subjects before the first session and at the end of the final session. Serum SeP levels were measured by ELISA which measures the fragment of SeP. In the HTS group, HOMA-IR values were significantly reduced compared to the control group (Δ-0.71 vs. Δ0.05; P < 0.05). IL-6 and SeP levels in serum were also significantly reduced compared to that of the control group (IL-6; Δ-0.6 vs. Δ0.29 pg/mL; P < 0.05, SeP; Δ-1288.5 vs. Δ-435.4 ng/mL; P < 0.05, respectively). In conclusion, we propose that HTS improves insulin resistance by reducing serum IL-6 and SeP levels in patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
AIMS Exercise is effective for the prevention of liver cancer. Exercise exerts biological effects through the regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and cytokines/myokines. We aimed to investigate the effects of low-intensity resistance exercise on serum miRNA and cytokine/myokine expressions in subjects with no exercise habits. METHODS We enrolled seven male subjects with no exercise habits in this prospective before-after study. All subjects performed a low-intensity resistance exercise program (three metabolic equivalents, approximately 20 min/session). Serum miRNA expressions were evaluated using microarrays. We performed Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs before and after exercise. Serum cytokine/myokine expressions were evaluated using a multiplex panel. RESULTS All subjects completed the exercise program with no adverse events. In the microarray analysis, seven miRNAs showed a significant change between before and after exercise. Of these, microRNA (miR)-630 and miR-5703 showed a >1.5-fold increase (miR-630: 40.7 vs. 69.3 signal intensity, p = 0.0133; miR-5703: 30.7 vs. 55.9 signal intensity, p = 0.0051). KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that miR-630- and miR-5703-related genes were enriched in 37 and 5 pathways, including transforming growth factor-beta and Wnt signaling pathways, respectively. In the multiplex analysis, 12 cytokines/myokines showed significant alteration after exercise compared to before exercise. Of these, fractalkine/CX3CL1 showed the most significant up-regulation by exercise (94.5 vs. 109.1 pg/ml, p = 0.0017). CONCLUSIONS A low-intensity resistance exercise program was associated with upregulation of serum miR-630, miR-5703, and fractalkine/CX3CL1 expressions in subjects with no exercise habits. Thus, even low-intensity exercise may alter miRNA and cytokine/myokine expressions in humans.

Abstract
AIM In patients with liver cirrhosis, high levels of serum myostatin are associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to clarify the influence of myostatin on the prognosis of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC) without cirrhosis and on the progression of liver fibrosis. METHODS Serum myostatin levels were evaluated in 234 patients who underwent primary surgical resection for single HCC. To clarify the impact of myostatin on liver fibrosis, we established human primary liver fibroblasts from resected livers, and cultured them in the presence of myostatin. RESULTS The median age was 67.4 years, the median L3 skeletal muscle mass index was 44.4 cm2 /m2 , and the median body mass index was 23.4 kg/m2 . Eighty-two (35.0%) patients had sarcopenia (L3 skeletal muscle mass index: men <42, women <38 cm2 /m2 ). The etiologies of liver disease were hepatitis B virus (n = 61), hepatitis C virus (n = 86), and non-B non-C hepatitis (n = 87) including NAFLD (n = 74). High preoperative serum myostatin and vascular invasion were independent predictors of poor overall survival (OS). High serum myostatin was associated with poor OS in patients with no sarcopenia (n = 152). In patients without advanced liver fibrosis (Fibrosis stage, 0-2; n = 58), high levels of serum myostatin were also associated with poor OS, regardless of sarcopenia. Serum myostatin levels were increased with the progression of liver fibrosis. Liver fibroblasts were activated and produced collagen following stimulation with myostatin. CONCLUSIONS In patients with NAFLD-HCC without advanced liver fibrosis, high levels of serum myostatin were associated with poor OS. Myostatin activated primary fibroblasts and stimulated collagen production.

Abstract
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used to increase not only muscle strength but also whole-body metabolism. A hybrid training system (HTS) in which NMES is synchronized to voluntary exercise by an articular motion sensor may increase exercise load during aerobic walking exercise. We assessed the metabolic cost during walking exercise (5 minutes at 4 km/h and 5.6 km/h) on a treadmill simultaneously combined with HTS (HTSW) or without HTS (CON). We evaluated oxygen uptake ( VO·2) and heart rate (HR) during HTSW or CON on different days in fifteen subjects. The values ofVO·2 during HTSW at 4 km/h and 5.6 km/h were signifi cantly greater than those during CON (16.6 ± 1.85 ml/min/kg vs 15.3 ± 1.48 ml/min/kg; p < 0.05, 21.0 ± 2.17 ml/min/kg vs 19.4 ± 2.13 ml/min/kg; p < 0.01, respectively). The values of HR during HTSW at 4 km/h, 5.6 km/h were significantly greater than those during CON (106.7 ± 8.1 bpm vs 101.7 ± 10.3 bpm; p < 0.05, 126.5 ± 11.1 bpm vs 121.5 ± 12.5 bpm; p < 0.05, respectively). HTS added significantly to the exercise load by 8.3 ± 12.0% or 9.1 ± 9.9% during aerobic walking exercise at 4 km/h or 5.6 km/h, respectively. HTS might be useful for health promotion by increasing metabolic cost during aerobic walking exercise without increasing the perceived difficulty.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hashida, R, Takano, Y, Matsuse, H, Kudo, M, Bekki, M, Omoto, M, Nago, T, Kawaguchi, T, Torimura, T, and Shiba, N. Electrical stimulation of the antagonist muscle during cycling exercise interval training improves oxygen uptake and muscle strength. J Strength Cond Res 35(1): 111-117, 2021-A hybrid training system (HTS) is a resistance exercise method that combines voluntary concentric muscle contractions and electrically stimulated eccentric muscle contractions. We devised an exercise technique using HTS on cycle ergometer (HCE). The purpose of this study was to compare cardiorespiratory function and muscle strength when cycling exercise is combined with electrical stimulation over an extended period. Twenty-nine healthy young men were divided into an HCE group (n = 14) and a volitional cycle ergometer (VCE alone) group (n = 15). All subjects performed 30-minute cycling exercise interval training sessions 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The V̇o2peak of both groups significantly increased compared with the pretraining period (HCE group: from 31.3 ± 4.4 [ml·kg-1·min-1] pretraining to 37.6 ± 6.7 [ml·kg-1·min-1] post-training [p = 0.0024] and VCE group: from 34.0 ± 7.1 [ml·kg-1·min-1] pretraining to 38.4 ± 8.2 [ml·kg-1·min-1] [p = 0.0057]). After the training, there was no significant difference of changes in V̇o2peak between the HCE and the VCE groups (p = 0.7107). In the VCE group, the maximal isokinetic torque of knee extension (60°·s-1) post-training did not significantly increase compared with the pretraining period (VCE group: from 2.4 ± 0.5 [N·m·kg-1] pretraining to 2.5 ± 0.4 [N·m·kg-1] [p = 0.4543]). By contrast, in the HCE group, the maximal isokinetic torque of knee extension (60°·s-1) post-training significantly increased compared with pretraining period (HCE group: from 2.5 ± 0.3 [N·m·kg-1] pretraining to 2.8 ± 0.3 [N·m·kg-1] [p < 0.0001]). The change in knee extension torque was significantly greater for the HCE group than for the VCE group (p = 0.0307). In conclusion, cardiopulmonary function and knee extension strength were improved by the use of HCE.

Abstract
Severe ascites is an adverse event of ramucirumab (RAM), a second-line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Ascites can be associated with various factors, including nutritional status and muscle quality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence and profiles of RAM-associated severe ascites in patients with HCC. This retrospective study enrolled 14 consecutive patients with HCC treated with RAM (median age, 72 years; Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage B/C, 6/8). Nutritional status and muscle quality were evaluated using the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) content, respectively. Factors associated with severe ascites were evaluated using decision-tree analysis. The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 2.1 months, and the overall objective response and disease control rates were 14 and 50%, respectively. Severe ascites developed in 57.1% of the patients, and the median onset was 37.5 days (range, 14-61 days) after initiation of RAM treatment. In the decision-tree analysis, the CONUT score and IMAT content were the first and second splitting variables for the development of severe ascites. In patients with a CONUT score ≥5 and IMAT <-0.54, the prevalence of severe ascites was 80 and 100%, respectively. A high incidence of severe ascites was observed in patients treated with RAM. A CONUT score ≥5 and an IMAT <-0.54 were associated with severe ascites. Thus, caution must be taken for severe ascites in patients with HCC treated with RAM, in particular patients with malnutrition and fat infiltration in muscle.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease worldwide and one of the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma and liver transplantation. Moreover, patients with NAFLD frequently complain of non-specific symptoms including fatigue, abdominal discomfort, as well as anxiety, and NAFLD is reported to affect patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Thus, for clarifying the total burden of NAFLD, it is crucial to assess all associated outcomes, including not only clinical and economic outcomes but also PROs. PROs are thought to reflect what is happening in one's daily life and is an important way patients and health-care professionals communicate. There are various instruments for the assessment of PROs. Recently, a NAFLD/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-specific instrument called "Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ)-NAFLD/NASH" has been developed. CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH comprises six domains: (i) abdominal symptoms, (ii) activity/energy, (iii) emotional health, (iv) fatigue, (v) systemic symptoms, and (vi) worry. CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH has demonstrated excellent internal consistency, face validity, content validity, and test-retest reliability. It has been sufficiently validated in two international phase 3 clinical trials. In this review, we summarize features of various instruments for assessing PROs by focusing on CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH. We also examine the validity of CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH in Japanese patients and alterations in CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH score in Japanese patients with significant hepatic fibrosis. Moreover, we discuss the utility of CLDQ-NAFLD/NASH in phase 3 clinical trials and in a real-world clinical setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Muscle atrophy is associated with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)-related outcomes in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML). However, the impact of ASCT on muscle mass remains unclear in patients with ML. The aims of this study were to investigate changes in muscle mass and risk profiles for muscle atrophy after ASCT. METHOD We enrolled 40 patients with refractory ML (age 58 [20-74] years, female/male 16/24, body mass index (BMI) 21.1 kg/m2 [17.1-29.6]). Psoas muscle mass was assessed using the psoas muscle index (PMI) before and after ASCT. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED Independent factors associated with a severe decrease rate of change in PMI were evaluated by decision-tree analysis, respectively. RESULTS PMI was significantly decreased after ASCT (4.61 vs. 4.55 cm2/m2; P=0.0425). According to the decision-tree analysis, the regimen was selected as the initial split. The rates of change in PMI were -5.57% and -3.97% for patients administered MCEC and LEED, respectively. In patients who were administered LEED, the second branching factor was BMI. In patients with BMI < 20.3 kg/m2, the rate of change in PMI was -7.16%. On the other hand, the rate of change in PMI was 4.05% for patients with BMI ≥ 20.3 kg/m2. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that muscle mass decreased after ASCT in patients with ML. Patients who received MCEC and patients with low BMI were at risk for a decrease in muscle mass.

Abstract
Serum carnitine is decreased in hemodialysis patients, which induces muscle atrophy. Thus, we examined the different effects of l-carnitine and exercise on exercise activity and muscle status in hemodialysis patients. Twenty patients were divided into l-carnitine and cycle ergometer groups and were followed for 3 months. Muscle and fat mass, physical activities, and muscle status were evaluated by an impedance, physical function test, and magnetic resonance imaging, respectively. The l-carnitine significantly increased muscle mass (P = .023) and thigh circumference (P = .027), decreased fat mass (P = .007), and shortened chair stand-up time (P = .002) and 10-m walk test (P = .037). The fat fraction was improved by the l-carnitine (P = .047). Compared with the exercise group, l-carnitine improved the changes in 10-m walk test (P = .026), chair stand-up time (P = .014), and thigh circumference (P = .022). Baseline fibroblast growth factor-21 and myostatin levels predicted the l-carnitine-associated changes in exercise activities. l-carnitine, rather than exercise, improved physical activity and muscle status in hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
AIM Muscle atrophy is a prognostic factor for patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The Liver Frailty Index (LFI) is a simple physical function test; however, an association between LFI and muscle mass remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the utility of LFI for predicting muscle atrophy in CLD patients with HCC. METHODS We enrolled 138 CLD patients with HCC (aged 77 years, female/male 34.8%/65.2%). Muscle mass was assessed by skeletal muscle index, and patients were classified into the muscle atrophy group (n = 109) or the non-muscle atrophy group (n = 29). Physical frailty was assessed by LFI. The optimal cut-off value of LFI for predicting muscle atrophy was identified by receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS In the muscle atrophy group, the prevalence of pre-frail/frail was significantly higher than the non-muscle atrophy group (87.2% vs. 58.6%, P = 0.0005). In the logistic regression analysis, being female and pre-frail/frail were identified as independent factors associated with muscle atrophy (pre-frail/frail; OR 3.601, 95% CI 1.381-9.400, P = 0.0088). In patients with normal grip strength, 71.1% of patients were pre-frail/frail, in which 82.8% of patients showed muscle atrophy. Receiver operating characteristic statistics provided an area under the curve of 0.74, and an LFI cut-off value of 2.94 for predicting muscle atrophy (sensitivity 88.06%, specificity 52.17%, accuracy 77.91%). CONCLUSIONS We showed that pre-frail/frail was an independent factor for muscle atrophy in CLD patients with HCC. Furthermore, LFI predicted muscle atrophy with high sensitivity, even in patients with normal grip strength. Thus, LFI might be a useful screening tool for muscle atrophy in CLD patients with HCC.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cancer rehabilitation (CR) improves patients' physical function and muscle mass. We investigated the effects of CR on the prognosis of patients with HCC. The present study was a prospective observational study, which analyzed 152 patients with HCC who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) between 2013 and 2016. Patients were classified into the CR (n=85) and control (n=67) groups. The effects of CR on muscle mass were evaluated by changes in the skeletal muscle index (SMI) before and after TACE. Independent factors associated with survival were evaluated by Cox regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the survival rate between the CR and control groups. The difference in survival rate between the two groups was also examined after propensity score matching. SMI was significantly increased in the CR group compared with the control group. In Cox regression analysis, independent factors associated with survival were CR and Child-Pugh class A (estimate 1.760, 95% CI 0.914–3.226, P=0.001; estimate 1.602, 95% CI 0.426–2.998, P=0.0129). The survival rate was significantly higher in the CR group than in the control group (median 552 vs. 424 days; P=0.0359). The survival rate was also significantly higher in the CR group than that in the control group after propensity score matching (median 529 vs. 369 days; P=0.0332). CR was associated with prolonged survival in patients with HCC who underwent TACE. Patients with cancer are recommended to maintain physical activity even during cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIM Walking speed and grip strength are parameters of muscle function; however, evaluating walking speed is not always available in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate the impact of walking speed on the evaluation of muscle dysfunction in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS We enrolled 107 consecutive CLD patients with HCC in this study (age 76 years [range 60-92 years]; female/male 39/68; body mass index 22.9 [range 20.0-25.3]; chronic hepatitis/liver cirrhosis 25/82). Muscle dysfunction was evaluated using the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria (grip strength or walking speed) and the Japan Society of Hepatology criteria (grip strength). A correlation between walking speed and skeletal muscle index was evaluated. Independent factors for slow walking speed were evaluated using a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS There was no significant correlation between walking speed and skeletal muscle index (r = 0.14, P = 0.16). For both the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia and Japan Society of Hepatology criteria, 33.6% of all patients were classified as having muscle dysfunction. All patients with slow walking speed (4.7% of all patients) also showed low handgrip strength. The logistic regression analysis identified grip strength as an independent factor for slow walking speed (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.432-0.838; P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS No difference was seen in the prevalence of muscle dysfunction between the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia and Japan Society of Hepatology criteria in CLD patients with HCC. Furthermore, all patients with slow walking speed also showed low handgrip strength. Thus, for the evaluation of muscle dysfunction, grip strength might be a suitable proxy for walking speed in CLD patients with HCC.

Abstract
The SEM Glove developed by Bioservo Technologies AB is a new device that increases grip and pinch force. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the device on the grip and pinch strength of patients with functional disorders of the fingers. MATERIALS AND METHOD 30 hospitalized patients with upper limb functional disorder were enrolled. The assistance of the device for the grip and pinch strength of each subject were assessed by the difference between the measured values with and without the SEM Glove. The 95% confidence interval of the difference was calculated across the subjects, and statistical significance was defined as when the lower limit was a positive value (corresponding with a paired t-test at a significance level of 0.05). The odds ratio was calculated in the study of subject adaptation, with statistical significance set using Fisher's exact test at a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS Grip strength significantly decreased (worn-not worn difference (kg): mean = -3.7, CI95 (-5.4, -2.1)). Pinch strength (thumb - middle finger) significantly increased (worn-not worn difference (N): mean = -4.1, CI95 (1.6, 6.6)). Analysis of factors related to improvement in hand function when wearing the SEM Glove extracted manual muscle tests (MMTs) of the upper extremity 4 or higher. The odds ratio was 6.11. CONCLUSIONS Use of the SEM Glove improved the pinch strength of patients with functional disorders of the hands.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. HCC patients who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) are at a risk of muscle atrophy. We aimed to investigate the effects of in-hospital exercise on muscle mass and factors associated with muscle hypertrophy in HCC patients who underwent TACE. METHODS We enrolled 209 HCC patients who underwent TACE. Patients were classified into either an exercise (n = 102) or control (n = 107) group. In the exercise group, patients were treated with in-hospital exercise (median 2.5 metabolic equivalents/20-40 min/day). The effects of exercise on muscle mass were evaluated by changes in skeletal muscle index (ΔSMI) between before and after TACE. Factors associated with an increase in SMI were analyzed by logistic regression and decision-tree analyses. RESULTS There was no significant difference in serum albumin and bilirubin levels between the two groups. ΔSMI was significantly higher in the exercise group than in the control group (0.28 cm2 /m2 vs -1.11 cm2 /m2 , P = 0.0029). In the logistic regression analysis, exercise was an independent factor for an increase in SMI (hazard ratio 2.13; 95% confidence interval 1.215-3.846; P = 0.0085). Moreover, the decision-tree analysis showed that exercise was the initial divergence variable for an increase in SMI (the ratio of increased SMI: 53% in the exercise group vs 36% in the control group). CONCLUSIONS In-hospital exercises increased muscle mass in HCC patients who underwent TACE. In addition, exercise was an independent factor for muscle hypertrophy. Thus, in-hospital exercise may prevent sarcopenia in HCC patients who underwent TACE.

Abstract
Background & Aims: Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate sarcopenia because of post-embolization syndrome. The aims of this study are to investigate changes in skeletal muscle mass after TACE and its risk profiles in patients with HCC.Methods: We enrolled 104 HCC patients (age 73.5 [41.0-88.0] years, female/male 35/69, body mass index 22.4 [16.0-32.7]). Changes in skeletal muscle mass were evaluated by Δskeletal muscle index (SMI) using computed tomography before and after TACE. Factors correlated with ΔSMI were evaluated. Independent factors and profiles associated with a decrease in SMI were evaluated by multivariate analysis and decision-tree analysis, respectively.Results: SMI was significantly decreased after TACE in patients with HCC (32.8 vs. 30.6 cm2/m2; P=0.0001). However, there was no significant correlation between the ΔSMI and other variables including Δalbumin. In the logistic regression analysis, no factor was significantly associated with a decrease in SMI. In the decision-tree analysis, sex was selected as the initial split and, in female, 74% of subjects showed a decrease in SMI. While, in male, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≤81.7 ml/min/1.73 m2 was the second split; of these patients, 74% of subjects had a decreased SMI.Conclusions: We demonstrated that skeletal muscle mass was decreased after TACE in patients with HCC. “female” and “male who had a lower eGFR” were profile for a decrease in skeletal muscle mass. Thus, such patients who have HCC treated with TACE may benefit from preventive treatment for sarcopenia.

Abstract
Matsuse, H, Hashida, R, Takano, Y, Omoto, M, Nago, T, Bekki, M, and Shiba, N. Walking exercise simultaneously combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation of antagonists resistance improved muscle strength, physical function, and knee pain in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a single-arm study. J Strength Cond Res 31(1): 171-180, 2017-A hybrid training system (HTS) was developed as a way to combine the application of electrical stimulation and voluntary contraction. Moreover, we developed a novel training method using HTS during walking (HTSW). This study was designed to evaluate the effect of HTSW on muscle strength, physical function, and knee pain in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Eleven subjects (age: 74.0 ± 8.5 years) participated and performed HTSW for 30 minutes 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Isokinetic knee extension/knee flexion torque, muscle volume, one-leg standing test (OST), functional reach test, 10-m maximum gait speed, timed up and go test, 6-minute walking test, knee pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Japan Knee Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM) were assessed. Knee extension torque significantly increased from 1.02 ± 0.29 N·m·kg pretraining to 1.23 ± 0.33 N·m·kg posttraining (P < 0.01, ES = 0.68). Knee flexion torque significantly increased from 0.65 ± 0.18 N·m·kg pretraining to 0.78 ± 0.17 N·m·kg posttraining (p < 0.01). Muscle volume significantly increased from 9.00 ± 2.84 mm pretraining to 10.37 ± 3.16 mm at the end of training (p ≤ 0.05). All the physical functions except OST were significantly improved. The JKOM score improved from 26.7 ± 18.30 pretraining to 17.2 ± 14.02 at the end of training (p < 0.01). The VAS score significantly decreased from 35.4 ± 22.59 pretraining to 16.5 ± 19.73 at the end of training (p ≤ 0.05). Hybrid training system during walking may be an effective training method for the treatment of people with KOA.

Abstract
AIMS Sarcopenia and physical disability assessed by a 6-min walking test (6MWT) are associated with poor prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). However, CLD patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mostly rest in bed during hospitalization. We aimed to investigate the effects of therapeutic exercise on liver function, 6MWT, and skeletal muscle mass during HCC treatment in patients with CLD. METHODS We enrolled 54 CLD patients with HCC (median age, 76 years). During hospitalization, patients performed a combination of stretching, strength training, balance practice, and endurance training (2.5-4 metabolic equivalents/20 min/day). Primary outcomes were changes from admission to discharge in Child-Pugh class, 6MWT, and skeletal muscle mass. Furthermore, factors associated with skeletal muscle atrophy were analyzed by a decision-tree analysis. RESULTS Exercise did not worsen the Child-Pugh class. On discharge, the 6MWT ambulation distance was maintained, and heart rate variability during the 6MWT was significantly improved compared to that on admission (area under the curve 50.3 vs. 39.0 arbitrary units; P = 0.0027). Although skeletal muscle mass was significantly reduced (20.6 kg vs. 20.0 kg, P = 0.0301), branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) treatment was identified as the most distinguishable factor for minimizing muscle mass atrophy (-1.1 kg vs. -0.5 kg/hospitalization). CONCLUSIONS Therapeutic exercise improved physical ability without worsening liver function during hospitalization for HCC treatment in CLD patients. Although exercise did not completely prevent skeletal muscle atrophy, BCAA treatment minimized the skeletal muscle atrophy. Thus, exercise with BCAA treatment may be important for the management of CLD patients with HCC.

Abstract
Background Here, we assessed the prognostic value of the early sliding length (ESL) for predicting the risk of non-union after internal fixation of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) by Dual SC Screws (DSCS). Methods A retrospective analysis of 86 patients with intra-capsular FNFs was performed. They underwent osteosynthesis by DSCS at our institution between 2008 and 2013 with a minimum follow-up duration of 6 months. Preoperative displacement, fracture reduction quality, ESL of screws at 2 weeks postoperatively, and correlation of non-union with the ESL of screws were evaluated. Results Bone union without complications was achieved in 74 patients (86.0%), whereas 12 patients (14.0%) showed non-union. The ESL was significantly longer in the non-union group (proximal 3.94 ± 2.79 mm, distal 4.03 ± 3.16 mm) than in the union group (proximal 0.98 ± 1.85 mm, distal 1.01 ± 1.84 mm, P = 0.0001* for proximal, P < 0.0001* for distal). The ESL was significantly associated with non-union, both in the proximal [P = 0.0002, unit odds ratio (OR) 1.58, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23–2.16] and distal screws (P = 0.0002, unit OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.21–2.02). The areas under the ROC curves for the ESL of proximal and distal screws were 0.845 and 0.867, respectively; the cut-off values to predict non-union were 1.0 mm (sensitivity 91.7% and specificity 74.3%) and 1.4 mm (sensitivity 83.3% and specificity 81.1%), respectively. Conclusions In this study, the ESL was a good predictor of postoperative non-union in patients with FNFs fixed by DSCS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Exercise is a first-line therapy for patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We sought to: 1) summarize effective aerobic and resistance exercise protocols for NAFLD; and 2) compare the effects and energy consumption of aerobic and resistance exercises. METHODS A literature search was performed using PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopas to January 28, 2016. From a total of 95 articles, 23 studies including 24 aerobic and 7 resistance exercise protocols were selected for the summary of exercise protocols. Twelve articles including 13 aerobic and 4 resistance exercise protocols were selected for the comparative analysis. RESULTS For aerobic exercise, the median effective protocol was 4.8 metabolic equivalents (METs) for 40min/session, 3times/week for 12weeks. For resistance exercise, the median effective protocol was 3.5 METs for 45min/session, 3times/week for 12weeks. Aerobic and resistance exercise improved hepatic steatosis. No significant difference was seen in the duration, frequency, or period of exercise between the two exercise groups; however, %VO2max and energy consumption were significantly lower in the resistance than in the aerobic group (50% [45-98] vs. 28% [28-28], p=0.0034; 11,064 [6394-21,087] vs. 6470 [4104-12,310] kcal/total period, p=0.0475). CONCLUSIONS Resistance exercise improves NAFLD with less energy consumption. Thus, resistance exercise may be more feasible than aerobic exercise for NAFLD patients with poor cardiorespiratory fitness or for those who cannot tolerate or participate in aerobic exercise. These data may indicate a possible link between resistance exercise and lipid metabolism in the liver. LAY SUMMARY Both aerobic and resistance exercise reduce hepatic steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with similar frequency, duration, and period of exercise (40-45min/session 3times/week for 12weeks); however, the two forms of exercise have different characteristics. Intensity and energy consumption were significantly lower for resistance than for aerobic exercise. Resistance exercise may be more feasible than aerobic exercise for NAFLD patients with poor cardiorespiratory fitness or for those who cannot tolerate or participate in aerobic exercise.

Abstract
The hybrid training system (HTS) resists the motion of a volitionally contracting agonist muscle using force generated by its electrically stimulated antagonist. We have developed a new training method using the principle of HTS. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of HTS with electrical stimulation on muscle strength and physical function by comparing it against training without electrical stimulation in older adults. 16 subjects were randomly divided into two groups: the squat and single leg lift training (control, CTR) group, and the CTR with HTS training group. Some electrical stimulation was applied to the quadriceps and hamstring muscles in the HTS group. The subjects performed training for 25 min per session 3 times a week for 12 weeks. At points before and after the research maximal isokinetic torque, knee-flexors (KFT) and knee-extensors (KET), a one-leg standing test (OLT), a functional reach test (FRT), a 10-meter maximal gait time (10MGT) and Timed up & go test (TUG) were conducted. None of the subjects had any injuries during the study period. TUG significantly improved after the training period in both the HTS group (7.15 sec to 6.01 sec P = 0.01) and in the CTR.

Abstract
Performing aerobics and resistance exercise at exactly the same time has not been available although combining both types of exercise in one training program has been attempted. The hybrid training system (HTS) is a resistance exercise that combines voluntary concentric muscle contractions with electrically stimulated eccentric muscle contractions. We devised an exercise technique using HTS on a cycle ergometer (HCE). Growth hormone (GH) and lactate are indicators of adequate training intensity. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) reflects enhancing lipid metabolism. The purpose of this study was to show that HCE provides sufficient exercise to stimulate the secretion of GH, lactate and IL-6. We compared an HCE test with cycle ergometer alone (CE). Ten healthy male subjects performed HCE and CE tests for 30 minutes each. The workload of both tests was set the same at 40% of each subject's peak oxygen uptake. For HCE, 2-minute HTS and 1-minute rest intervals were repeated. GH, lactate, and IL-6 were evaluated before and immediately after exercise, and at 15, 30 and 60 minutes. GH and lactate increased immediately after HCE. Moreover, the degree of the increases in GH after HCE (0 and 15 minutes) was higher than that after CE. IL-6 increased after HCE at 30 min, and the rate of change was higher than for CE. These results showed that HCE was more efficient in stimulating acute increases in GH, lactate and IL-6 than CE at the same workload. We may be able to combine electrically stimulated resistance exercise with aerobic exercise using HCE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal atrophy is one of the major problems of extended periods of exposure to weightlessness such as on the International Space Station (ISS). We developed the Hybrid Training System (HTS) to maintain an astronaut's musculoskeletal system using an electrically stimulated antagonist to resist the volitional contraction of the agonist instead of gravity. The present study assessed the system's orbital operation capability and utility, as well as its preventative effect on an astronaut's musculoskeletal atrophy. METHODS HTS was attached to the non-dominant arm of an astronaut staying on the ISS, and his dominant arm without HTS was established as the control (CTR). 10 sets of 10 reciprocal elbow curls were one training session, and 12 total sessions of training (3 times per week for 4 weeks) were performed. Pre and post flight ground based evaluations were performed by Biodex (muscle performance), MRI (muscle volume), and DXA (BMD, lean [muscle] mass, fat mass). Pre and post training inflight evaluations were performed by a hand held dynamometer (muscle force) and a measuring tape (upper arm circumference). RESULTS The experiment was completed on schedule, and HTS functioned well without problems. Isokinetic elbow extension torque (Nm) changed -19.4% in HTS, and -21.7% in CTR. Isokinetic elbow flexion torque changed -23.7% in HTS, and there was no change in CTR. Total Work (Joule) of elbow extension changed -8.3% in HTS, and +0.3% in CTR. For elbow flexion it changed -23.3% in HTS and -32.6% in CTR. Average Power (Watts) of elbow extension changed +22.1% in HTS and -8.0% in CTR. For elbow flexion it changed -6.5% in HTS and -4.8% in CTR. Triceps muscle volume according to MRI changed +11.7% and that of biceps was +2.1% using HTS, however -0.1% and -0.4% respectively for CTR. BMD changed +4.6% in the HTS arm and -1.2% for CTR. Lean (muscle) mass of the arm changed only +10.6% in HTS. Fat mass changed -12.6% in HTS and -6.4% in CTR. CONCLUSIONS These results showed the orbital operation capability and utility, and the preventive effect of HTS for an astronaut's musculoskeletal atrophy. The initial flight data together with the ground data obtained so far will be utilized in the future planning of human space exploration.

Abstract
Investigation of differentially expressed genes in eosinophils of patients with allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD) will provide important information for elucidating possible mechanisms of pathology. To identify novel genes that are expressed in AD, we compared gene expression in samples of peripheral blood eosinophils from AD patients and healthy volunteers. RNA was extracted from peripheral blood eosinophils. The expression of various genes, such as those for cytokine receptors, eosinophil activation marker, platelet activating factor (PAF) receptor, eosinophil-specific granular proteins and apoptosis-related genes, was confirmed using real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Peripheral blood eosinophils of healthy volunteers were also isolated and stimulated for introduction of various cytokines. RNA was extracted and gene expression was monitored. Several genes, such as those for cytokine receptors (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor alpha and beta chain and interleukin (IL)-3 receptor alpha chain), CD44 and PAF receptor were expressed at significantly higher levels in AD patients than in healthy volunteers. In addition, the anti-apoptotic genes, bcl-2 and bcl-xL, were expressed at increased levels in AD patients. No single gene expression correlated with clinical markers, such as eosinophil count or IgE levels. Expression of GM-CSF receptor beta chain and IL-3 receptor alpha chain in isolated blood eosinophils of healthy volunteers was stimulated by IL-5, IL-4, interferon (IFN)-gamma and GM-CSF. Expression of bcl-2 and bcl-xL was also increased after stimulation with IL-5, IL-4 or IFN-gamma. The in vitro enhancement of cytokine-stimulated gene expression correlated well with the enhancement observed in clinical samples of eosinophils, suggesting that cytokines may affect gene expression in vivo in eosinophils of patients with AD.

Abstract
To clarify the relation between the expression of genes such as eosinophil-specific granular proteins and cytokine receptors and the pathogenesis of allergic disease, cord blood-derived CD34+ cells were cultured and differentiated into eosinophils. Gene expression in the cells during the differentiation was determined by real-time reverse transcription PCR (ABI PRISM 7700). CD34+ mononuclear cells cultured with stem cell factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-3, and IL-5 in Iscove's MEM, and proliferated until the 2nd week, when the cell number reached a plateau. Under these conditions, more than 90% of the cells differentiate into mature eosinophils in 3 weeks. The expression of major basic protein and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin in the treated cells increased until week 2 and decreased between week 2 and 3. However, the expression of membrane receptor genes, such as IL-5 receptor (alpha chain), IL-3 receptor (alpha chain), GM-CSF-alpha receptor, GM-CSF-beta receptor, CC chemokine receptor 3, interferon-gamma receptor, platelet-activating factor receptor and leukotriene D4 receptor, increased until the 3rd week of eosinophil maturation. Our study suggests that the in vitro eosinophil differentiation and maturation model is useful for clarifying the relation between eosinophil-specific gene expression during allergic diseases and the progression of the disease.
