Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the sensitivity and the effect of topical lidocaine on the tongue by quantitative sensory testing, comparing healthy middle-aged female subjects with healthy young female subjects. METHODS Sixteen healthy female subjects including eight in their fifties and eight in their twenties participated. They participated in two sessions at a 2-week interval in randomized order: lidocaine (experimental session) or placebo gel (placebo session) was applied on the tongue tip for 5min. The following parameters were taken on the tongue tip before and after application of the gel in each session: tactile detection threshold (TDT), filament-prick pain detection threshold (FPT), and numerical rating scale (NRS). RESULTS An increase of both TDT and FPT and a decrease of NRS were found after lidocaine application in both middle-aged and young female subjects. In the elder females, an increase of TDT, FPT, and NRS was also found after placebo gel application. However, the changes were not statistically significant, except for FPT in middle-aged subjects. CONCLUSION The reactions found after lidocaine application in middle-aged female subjects could be due to habituation as well as to the post-application effect of placebo gel. Placebo-induced changes appeared more pronounced in the elder females.

Abstract
The patient was a 56-year-old woman who complained of chronic pain involving her tongue. We diagnosed her with burning mouth syndrome (BMS) based on exclusion of any local factors or systemic conditions. The patient not only had tongue pain but also had other signs and symptoms like scalloped tongue, dry mouth, and headache. To manage these additional issues, we used Goreisan, an herbal Kampo medicine, as a complementary alternative medicine (CAM) approach along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The patient's BMS was successfully managed with the combination of CAM and CBT, which may suggest that the pathophysiology for BMS might be nociplastic pain rather than purely nociceptive or neuropathic.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dexmedetomidine is used for the sedation method in the case of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for the purpose of relieving patient anxiety. It has been reported that CO2 accumulated during sedation causes an arousal reaction, so how to normalize CO2 during sedation can be improved by administration of the minimum necessary sedative.Nasal High Flow oxygen therapy (NHF) uses a mild positive pressure load that improves carbon dioxide washout and reduces rebreathing to improve respiratory function and therefore is widely used to prevent hypoxemia and hypercapnia. In this study, we will investigate whether the upper airway patency would be maintained and the hypercapnia and hypoxemia during sedation would be prevented, by applying NHF as a respiratory management method to patients undergoing ERCP under sedation. METHODS/DESIGN In a randomized comparative study of 2 groups, the NHF device use group and the nasal cannula use group, for adult patients who visited the Nagasaki University Hospital and underwent ERCP examination under sedation. For sedation, Dexmedetomidine will be used in combination with and Midazolam and evaluation by anesthesiologist. In addition, as an analgesic, pethidine hydrochloride was administered intravenously. The total dose of the analgesic pethidine hydrochloride used in combination is used as the primary endpoint. As a secondary evaluation item, the percutaneous CO2 concentration is evaluated with a TCO2 monitor to examine whether it is effective in preventing hypercapnia. Furthermore, we will evaluate the incidence of hypoxemia with a percutaneous oxygen saturation value of 90% or less, and examine whether the use of equipment is effective in preventing the occurrence of hypercapnia and hypoxemia. DISCUSSION The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence for the utility of NHF as a potential therapeutic device for patients undergoing an ERCP under sedation, assessed by determining if the incidence rates of hypercapnia and hypoxemia decreased in the NHF device group, compared to the control group that did not use of this device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal high flow (NHF) may reduce hypoxia and hypercapnia during an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure under sedation. The authors tested a hypothesis that NHF with room air during ERCP may prevent intraoperative hypercapnia and hypoxemia. METHODS In the prospective, open-label, single-center, clinical trial, 75 patients undergoing ERCP performed with moderate sedation were randomized to receive NHF with room air (40 to 60 L/min, n = 37) or low-flow O2 via a nasal cannula (1 to 2 L/min, n = 38) during the procedure. Transcutaneous CO2, peripheral arterial O2 saturation, a dose of administered sedative and analgesics were measured. RESULTS The primary outcome was the incidence of marked hypercapnia during an ERCP procedure under sedation observed in 1 patient (2.7%) in the NHF group and in 7 patients (18.4%) in the LFO group; statistical significance was found in the risk difference (-15.7%, 95% CI -29.1 - -2.4, p = 0.021) but not in the risk ratio (0.15, 95% CI 0.02 - 1.13, p = 0.066). In secondary outcome analysis, the mean time-weighted total PtcCO2 was 47.2 mmHg in the NHF group and 48.2 mmHg in the LFO group, with no significant difference (-0.97, 95% CI -3.35 - 1.41, p = 0.421). The duration of hypercapnia did not differ markedly between the two groups either [median (range) in the NHF group: 7 (0 - 99); median (range) in the LFO group: 14.5 (0 - 206); p = 0.313] and the occurrence of hypoxemia during an ERCP procedure under sedation was observed in 3 patients (8.1%) in the NHF group and 2 patients (5.3%) in the LFO group, with no significant difference (p = 0.674). CONCLUSIONS Respiratory support by NHF with room air did not reduce marked hypercapnia during ERCP under sedation relative to LFO. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of hypoxemia between the groups that may indicate an improvement of gas exchanges by NHF. TRIAL REGISTRATION jRCTs072190021 .

Abstract
General anesthesia may influence the postoperative sleep cycle; however, no clinical studies have fully evaluated whether anesthesia causes sleep disturbances during the postoperative period. In this scoping review, we explored the changes in postoperative sleep cycles during surgical procedures or dental treatment under general anesthesia. We compared and evaluated the influence of general anesthesia on sleep cycles and sleep disturbances during the postoperative period in adult and pediatric patients undergoing surgery and/or dental treatment. Literature was retrieved by searching eight public databases. Randomized clinical trials, observational studies, observational case-control studies, and cohort studies were included. Primary outcomes included the incidence of sleep, circadian cycle alterations, and/or sleep disturbances. The search strategy yielded six studies after duplicates were removed. Finally, six clinical trials with 1,044 patients were included. In conclusion, general anesthesia may cause sleep disturbances based on alterations in sleep or the circadian cycle in the postoperative period in patients scheduled for elective surgery.

Abstract
Structured summary Rationale: Nasal high-flow (NHF), a new method for respiratory management during procedural sedation, has greater advantages than conventional nasal therapy with oxygen. However, its clinical relevance for patients undergoing oral maxillofacial surgery and/or dental treatment remains uncertain and controversial, due to a paucity of studies. This scoping review compared and evaluated NHF and conventional nasal therapy with oxygen in patients undergoing oral maxillofacial surgery and/or dental treatment. Materials and methods A literature search of two public electronic databases was conducted, and English writing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of nasal high flow during dental procedure with sedation reviewed. The primary and secondary outcomes of interest were the incidence of hypoxemia and hypercapnia during sedation and the need for intervention to relieve upper airway obstruction, respectively. Results The search strategy yielded 7 studies, of which three RCTs met our eligibility criteria, with a total of 78 patients. Compared with conventional nasal therapy with oxygen, NHF significantly reduced the incidence of hypoxemia and hypercapnia during procedural sedation. Conclusion NHF can maintain oxygenation and possibly prevent hypercapnia in patients undergoing dental treatment. Additional RCTs are needed to clarify and confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background Dental phobia is covered by medical insurance; however, the diagnostic methods are not standardized in Japan. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the methods and use of questionnaires for the diagnosis of dental phobia by Japanese dental practitioners specializing in special needs dentistry and dental anesthesiology. Methods We conducted an online survey to obtain information from the members of the Japanese Society for Disability and Oral Health (JSDH, n = 5134) and the Japanese Dental Society of Anesthesiology (JDSA, n = 2759). Response items included gender, qualification, affiliation type, methods of diagnosis and management of dental phobia, use of questionnaire, need to establish standardized diagnostic method for dental phobia, and others. The chi-squared test was used to compare answers between the three groups: JSDH only, JDSA only, and both JSDH and JDSA. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the use of an assessment questionnaire. Results Data were obtained from 614 practitioners (JSDH only, n = 329; JDSA only, n = 195; both JSDH and JDSA: n = 90, response rate: 7.8% [614/7,893], men: n = 364 [58.5%]). Only 9.7% of practitioners used questionnaires to quantify the level of dental anxiety. The members of both JSDH and JDSA group used questionnaires more frequently than members of the JSDH only (19% and 7.1%, respectively; Bonferroni corrected p < 0.01). Most practitioners (89.1%) diagnosed dental phobia based on patient complaints of fear of treatment. Furthermore, majority of the participants (73.3%) felt the need to establish standardized diagnostic method for “dental phobia.” Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that membership of the JSDH only was negatively related (odds ratio [OR] 0.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13–0.60), and use of behavioral therapy was positively related (OR 2.34, 95% CI 1.18–4.84) to the use of a questionnaire. Conclusions The results of this study showed that the use of questionnaires was very low, patients’ subjective opinions were commonly used to diagnose dental phobia, and a standardized diagnostic criterion was thus needed among practitioners. Therefore, it is necessary to establish diagnostic criteria for dental phobia in line with the Japanese clinical system and to educate dentists about them.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to assess the longevity of a fixed prosthesis in patients with intellectual disability (ID) and to investigate the risk factors associated with the failure of a prosthesis due to abutment tooth extraction or prosthesis dislodgement or removal. METHODS We studied past medical records to evaluate the longevity of 315 prostheses that were luted in 76 patients with ID. We calculated the survival rates and assessed 15 variables potentially associated with prosthetic failure using multivariate Cox regression analyses with shared frailty for patients. RESULTS Three-quarters of our sample population had severe or profound ID. The maximum observation period was 31.0 years, and the corresponding survival ratio was 32.5%; the survival ratio at 10 years was 59.4%. The use of intravenous sedation significantly influenced the success of the prosthesis, with the hazard ratio (HR) being 0.49 times that of conventional treatment without behavior-altering drug therapy. The most significant risk factor for prosthetic failure was age at placement; the HR for patients aged ≥31 years was 2.82 times that for patients aged ≤ 20 years. CONCLUSIONS In patients with severe ID, appropriate intravenous sedation was effective in prolonging the longevity of a fixed prosthesis.

Abstract
Background In general, the prevalence of caries and other oral and dental issues is increased in patients with disabilities, such as those with cerebral palsy. Providing appropriate dental treatment at a primary dental clinic for patients with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability, among other conditions, is challenging. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the longevity and investigate the related prognostic factors of fixed prostheses in patients with cerebral palsy. Methods The records of 36 cerebral palsy patients were used for collecting and analyzing data. A total of 155 prostheses made from metal alloys were finally included in this study. Annual failure rates were calculated; patient‐ and tooth‐related variables associated with prosthesis failure were assessed by a multivariate Cox‐regression analysis and frailty models to introduce random effects. Results The 10‐year prosthesis survival rate was 62% and the 20‐year survival rate was 36%. In terms of prosthesis‐related variables, the type of prosthesis had a significant effect, and the hazard ratio of fixed partial dentures was 2.32 times that of single‐unit crowns. In terms of patient‐related variables, the presence of epilepsy had a significant effect on survival, and the hazard ratio for comorbid epilepsy was 3.76 times that for those without comorbid epilepsy. Conclusions Our findings suggested that fixed prostheses placed in patients with cerebral palsy might have a particularly low survival rate in cases with comorbid epilepsy. It might also be important to consider the type and/or design of the prosthesis carefully to ensure a better prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The persistent loss of consciousness caused by general anesthesia without the existence of repeated 90-minute cycles of non-REM and REM sleep might significantly disturb and suppress the cycle of normal physiological sleep in postoperative periods after general anesthesia. Patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) with existing circadian rhythm disorder are reported to rapidly deteriorate due to acute sleep disorder during the perioperative period after general anesthesia.A melatonin receptor agonist, ramelteon (Rozerem), which is a sleep cycle regulator, is used as a therapeutic drug for patients with sleep disorders, but there are no studies on the prevention of postoperative sleep disorder after general anesthesia.In this study, we investigate whether prophylactic administration of a sleep-inducing substance, a melatonin receptor agonist, is effective against sleep disorder after general anesthesia in patients with ASD. METHODS/DESIGN This study is intended for patients with ASD aged 12 years and above who undergo treatment at Nagasaki University Hospital, Isahaya General Hospital Dentistry, and Sasebo City General Medical Center Dentistry and undergo dental treatment under general anesthesia. A melatonin receptor agonist (Rozerem) will be taken 7 days prior and 7 days postsurgery in patients diagnosed with insomnia. A randomized comparison will be made between 2 groups: an experimental group that is additionally administered Rozerem and a control group.The primary endpoint is the incidence of NREM-REM sleep disorders that occur within 3 to 5 days after general anesthesia. The secondary endpoint is the incidence of circadian rhythm sleep disorders (rate of occurrence of sleep-retardation syndrome with drowsiness and strong fatigue). DISCUSSION Postoperative sleep disorders after general anesthesia has been reported in patients with ASD; however, effective preventive pharmacological treatments have not been established. A sleep cycle regulator, ramelteon (Rozerem), is used as a therapeutic drug for patients with sleep disorders by decreasing the difficulty of falling asleep in insomnia. If sleep disorder can be prevented after the administration of general anesthesia in patients with ASD, we can support social participation while maintaining their quality of life. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered with the jRCT1071200030.

Abstract
Background We report a case in which effective dental anesthetic management was achieved using procaine hydrochloride for a patient who had an unknown history of allergic reactions to lidocaine. Case Presentation Because the patient refused to undergo screening tests using any of the amide-type local anesthetics because of her extreme fear against local anesthetics that she had been administered previously, procaine hydrochloride, which is an ester-form local anesthetic, was the only agent to be tested on this patient at the department of dermatology. Consequent to a negative allergy test, we performed complete dental treatment using procaine hydrochloride after additional chairside drug challenge tests using minimum test dose under vital sign monitoring. Conclusion The success of dental treatment using procaine hydrochloride may have relieved the patient's fear of local anesthesia. We discuss an important aspect of treatment planning for patients with a history of complications during local anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are some clinical reports on dysphagia in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, its pathophysiology remains largely unknown.Changes in respiratory function occur in patients with COPD causing a decrease in tidal volume and an increase in respiratory rate (tachypnea). In addition, it leads to lack of coordination between respiration and swallowing.A new treatment called nasal high flow (NHF) has been introduced for patients with COPD, replacing the traditional non-invasive ventilation (NIV) procedure. The NHF therapy involves inhalation of high flow of humidified air, which reduces respiratory effort in patients with COPD. Furthermore, NHF therapy facilitates swallowing of saliva even during respiratory management. A recent clinical study reported that high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy for 6 weeks improved the health-related quality of life and reduced hypercapnia in patients with stable COPD. Taken together, NHF therapy is gaining attention in the clinical management of patients with COPD.Therefore, in this study, we aim to examine the efficacy of NHF therapy on the coordination between breathing and swallowing of saliva during daytime nap in patients with COPD. METHODS/DESIGN This open-label, investigator-initiated, single center study will evaluate the efficacy of NHF therapy on the coordination between breathing and swallowing of saliva during the daytime nap in COPD patients with forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1%) of <70% during treatment at the Nagasaki University Hospital Respiratory Rehabilitation Center. Evaluations will be performed during the 90 to 180 minute "daytime nap" in the measurement room of the hospital. The primary endpoint will be the rate of appearance of the expiratory phase after swallowing of saliva and the frequency of swallowing during the measurement period. DISCUSSION The purpose of this study is to obtain evidence regarding the utility of NHF as a potential therapeutic device for COPD patients to prevent aspiration of saliva during the sleep stage of daytime nap. The utility will be assessed by comparing the decrease in incidence rates of the expiratory phase after swallowing of saliva in the NHF device group and the control group, wherein this device was not used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain in glossodynia may be severe; it may prevent patients from working, interfere with daily life activities, and necessitate a patient's visit to a medical institution for consultation and treatment. The pain may be described as persistent and burning (tingling, tingling) or stinging. Patients may complain of dry mouth (dryness), which is thought to cause inflammation of the tongue and gingival mucous membranes and increased pain. Medications are prescribed based on the symptoms of glossodynia, and the therapeutic effect is confirmed. However, each drug has side effects, for example, pain may reduce, but drowsiness and dizziness may occur; further, there is always a tendency of drowsiness.On the other hand, Goreisan, a Chinese herbal medicine, has already been used by physicians to treat pain in the oral and maxillofacial regions resulting from rapid changes in air pressure. However, the lack of high-quality clinical research has been of concern, and a randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Goreisan for treatment of pain in glossodynia is warranted. METHODS/DESIGN This multicenter, randomized, controlled study will involve patients treated for glossodynia-related pain. In the experimental group, Goreisan will be taken for 12 weeks in combination with conventional treatment. Participants in the control group will not take any Kampo medicine; only the standard treatment will be taken. Subsequently, the degree of pain will be assessed, and saliva tests of all the patients on their first visit will be performed. Goreisan will be taken at a dose of 7.5 g/d (minute 3) for 12 consecutive weeks. Twelve weeks later, the degree of pain of each patient will be assessed. DISCUSSION The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Goreisan for pain reduction in patients undergoing treatment for glossodynia-related pain. If pain in glossodynia patients can be reduced by the administration of Goreisan, its candidacy as an alternative treatment for pain in glossodynia can be further supported by more reliable research.

Abstract
In head and neck surgery where the oropharyngeal area is the operative field, postoperative respiratory depression and upper airway obstruction are common. Therefore, supplemental oxygen is administered to prevent severe postoperative early hypoxemia. However, a high concentration of oxygen increases the likelihood of secondary complications, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) narcosis. Nasal high-flow (NHF) therapy generates high flows (≤60 L/min) of heated and humidified gas delivered via nasal cannula and provides respiratory support by generating positive airway pressure, clearance of dead space and reduction of work of breathing. This study aims to determine whether the postoperative hypoxemia and hypercapnia can be prevented by NHF without the requirement of supplemental oxygen. The study will recruit adult patients undergoing planned oral surgery under general anesthesia at Nagasaki University Hospital. It is a randomized parallel group comparative study with 3 groups: NHF with room air only and no supplemental oxygen, no respiratory support, and face mask oxygen administration. The study protocol will begin at the time that the patient is returned to the general ward and will finish 3 hours later. The primary endpoint is the time-weighted average of transcutaneous O2 over the 180 minutes and secondary endpoints are the time-weighted average of transcutaneous CO2 (tcpCO2), SpO2, and respiratory rate, incidence rate of marked hypercapnia (tcpCO2 ≥60 mm Hg for 5 minutes or longer), incidence rate of moderate hypercapnia (tcpCO2 ≥50 mm Hg for 5 minutes or longer) and the percentage of time that SpO2 is <90%. Included also is a group in which the postoperative management is performed only by spontaneous breathing without performing respiratory support such as oxygen administration, to investigate the efficacy and necessity of conventional oxygen administration. This exploratory study will investigate the use of NHF without supplemental oxygen as an effective respiratory support during the acute postoperative period.

Abstract
Background/purpose Swallowing reflex depression during dental treatment or oral surgery may cause water to enter the lower respiratory tract, leading to coughing, thus hindering these procedures. Based on the hypothesis that dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation may depress swallowing reflex, we aimed to characterize its effects on swallowing reflex and elucidate the affected functions. Materials and methods Swallowing reflex was induced in 9 young healthy male volunteers using a 5 mL-distilled water bolus injection over 3 s through a polyethylene catheter 3 times, both under wakefulness and DEX sedation. Swallowing EMG burst duration, pre-swallow EMG activity value, swallowing EMG burst peak value, latency time, and swallowing reflex timing in relation to the respiratory cycle were analyzed. Results The EMG burst duration was significantly prolonged with DEX sedation [206.9 ± 90.3% (1.20 ± 0.98 s)] compared to that with wakefulness [100 ± 00% (0.53 ± 0.28 s), P = 0.007]. No significant differences in the pre-swallow EMG activity value (P = 0.343), swallowing EMG burst peak value (P = 0.218), and latency times were apparent between wakefulness and DEX sedation (P = 0.793). Distributions of timing of the swallows in relation to the respiratory cycle did not significantly differ between the two conditions (P = 0.860). Conclusion Our data demonstrate that DEX sedation carries a potential risk of aspiration due to swallowing reflex depression during elevation of the larynx; therefore, suctioning of water and saliva should be rigorously performed. However, peripheral muscle contraction of the submental muscle complex, neural organization function, and timing of the swallowing reflex in relation to the respiratory cycle are not affected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For relatively invasive upper gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, such as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and also lower gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, intravenous anesthesia is routinely used to reduce patient anxiety. However, with the use of intravenous anesthesia, even at mild to moderate depth of anesthesia, there is always a risk of upper airway obstruction due to a relaxation of the upper airway muscles.With the advent of nasal high flow (NHF) devices that allow humidified high flow air through the nasal cavity, can be used as a respiratory management method in the context of anesthesia. AIRVO is commonly used for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and other respiratory disorders. This device uses a mild positive pressure load (several cmH2O) that improves carbon dioxide (CO2) washout and reduces rebreathing to improve respiratory function and therefore is widely used to prevent hypoxemia and hypercapnia.This study aims to maintain upper airway patency by applying NHF with air (AIRVO) as a respiratory management method during intravenous anesthesia for patients undergoing an ERCP. In addition, this study investigates whether the use of an NHF device in this context can prevent intraoperative hypercapnia and hypoxemia. METHODS/DESIGN This study design employed 2 groups of subjects. Both received intravenous anesthesia while undergoing an ERCP, and 1 group also used a concurrent nasal cannula NHF device. Here we examine if the use of an NHF device during intravenous anesthesia can prevent hypoxemia and hypercapnia, which could translate to improved anesthesia management.Efficacy endpoints were assessed using a transcutaneous CO2 monitor (TCM). This device measured the changes in CO2 concentration during treatment. Transcutaneous CO2 (PtcCO2) concentrations of 60 mm Hg or more (PaCO2 > 55 mm Hg) were considered marked hypercapnia. PtcCO2 concentrations of 50 to 60 mm Hg or more (equivalent to PaCO2 > 45 mm Hg) were considered moderate hypercapnia.Furthermore, the incidence of hypoxemia with a transcutaneous oxygen saturation value of 90% or less, and whether the use of NHF was effective in preventing this adverse clinical event were evaluated. DISCUSSION The purpose of this study was to obtain evidence for the utility of NHF as a potential therapeutic device for patients undergoing an ERCP under sedation, assessed by determining if the incidence rates of hypercapnia and hypoxemia decreased in the NHF device group, compared to the control group that did not use this device.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ketamine is a potent sedative drug that helps to maintain upper-airway patency, due to its higher upper-airway dilator muscular activity and higher level of duty cycle, as seen in rats. However, no clinical trials have tested passive upper-airway collapsibility and changes in the inspiratory duty cycle against partial upper-airway obstruction in humans. The present study evaluated both the passive mechanical upper-airway collapsibility and compensatory response against acute partial upper-airway obstruction using three different sedative drugs in a crossover trial. METHODS Eight male volunteers entered this nonblinded, randomized crossover study. Upper-airway collapsibility (passive critical closing pressure) and inspiratory duty cycle were measured under moderate sedation with ketamine, propofol, and dexmedetomidine. Propofol, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine anesthesia were induced to obtain adequate, same-level sedation, with a BIS value of 50-70 and the OAA/S score of 2-3 and RASS score of -3. RESULTS The median passive critical closing pressure of 0.08 [-5.51 to 1.20] cm H2 O was not significantly different compared to that of propofol sedation (-0.32 [-1.41 to -0.19] cm H2 O) and of dexmedetomidine sedation (-0.28 [-0.95 to -0.03] cm H2 O) (p = .045). The median passive RUS for ketamine 54.35 [32.00 to 117.50] cm H2 O/L/s was significantly higher than that for propofol 5.50 [2.475 to 19.60] cm H2 O/L/s; (mean difference, 27.50; 95% CI 9.17 to 45.83) (p = .009) and for dexmedetomidine 19.25 [4.125 to 22.05] cm H2 O/L/s; (mean difference, 22.88; 95% CI 4.67 to 41.09) (p = .021). The inspiratory duty cycle increased significantly as the inspiratory airflow decreased in passive conditions for each sedative drug, but behavior differed among the three sedative drugs. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that ketamine sedation may have an advantage of both maintained passive upper-airway collapsibility and a compensatory respiratory response, due to both increase in neuromuscular activity and the increased duty cycle, to acute partial upper-airway obstruction.

Abstract
Background Body position might affect the coordination between respiration and swallowing. This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that during swallowing, coordinated movements of muscle groups such as the diaphragm and rectus abdominis muscles are important to control normal swallowing apnea. Objective To investigate this hypothesis, respiratory parameters, swallowing apnea and muscle activity were measured in each of four body positions: sitting position with feet on the floor, 30° reclining position, lateral position, and standing position. Methods All measurements were performed in nine healthy subjects. Nasal airflow was measured using a pneumotachometer and muscle activity was measured using an electromyograph. All lung volume fraction parameters were measured using spirometer and swallowing apnea time was calculated. Results The maximum inspiratory volume was 2.76 ± 0.83 L in the 30° reclining position, which was significantly larger than that in the other positions (p = .0001). The preliminary expiratory volume was 1.05 ± 0.42 L in the 30° reclining position, which was significantly smaller than that in the other positions (p < .0001). The swallowing apnea time during water swallowing was 1.17 ± 0.35 sec in the lateral position and 0.87 ± 0.28 sec in the 30° reclining position, which tended to be longer than the 0.78 sec in the sitting position. Conclusion We conclude that both lateral and reclining positions require a longer period of swallowing apnea compared to the sitting and standing positions. Differences in body position may significantly influence the coordination between respiration and swallowing.

Abstract
Background Several studies have reported a strong association between the presence of oropharyngeal secretions in the laryngeal vestibule and the likelihood of aspiration of food or liquid. However, no previous studies have evaluated the accumulation of saliva and swallowing dynamics. Objective The objective of this study was to examine the factors related to decreased function that result in saliva accumulation based on images from videofluoroscopic examination of swallowing (VF) performed on the same day as videoendoscopic examination of swallowing (VE). Methods This retrospective study investigated 47 patients with dysphagia who underwent VF and VE on the same day. Saliva accumulation in the pharynx was assessed on VE and classified by the Murray secretion scale. Pharyngeal residue was assessed on VF. In addition, displacement of the hyoid bone and larynx on swallowing and the opening size of the esophageal orifice were measured, and contact between the base of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall was examined on VF. Results Moderate correlations were found between saliva accumulation and perpendicular displacement of the larynx and upper esophageal sphincter opening. The percentage of patients showing contact between the base of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall was significantly greater in those with a saliva accumulation score of 0 or 1. Conclusion Less laryngeal elevation and upper esophageal sphincter opening and absence of contact between the base of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall when swallowing tended to result in accumulation of saliva in the pharynx.

Abstract
Background: Sevoflurane is generally the preferred anesthetic agent for general anesthesia in pediatric patients, due to its rapid induction and recovery characteristics. However, it has been recognized that a major complication is emergence agitation when awakening from general anesthesia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence rate of emergence agitation in the operating room and postoperative recovery area following intraoperative administration of midazolam to pediatric patients under general anesthesia. Patients and methods: One hundred and twenty pediatric patients undergoing dental treatment under sevoflurane anesthesia were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into three groups (n=40 each in the 0.1 mg/kg midazolam, 0.05 mg/kg midazolam, and control with saline groups). Midazolam or saline was injected intravenously approximately 30 minutes before the end of the dental treatment. We used the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) to assess the level of sedation and drowsiness at emergence phase in the operating room. We also used the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) to assess the level of agitation and delirium at the full recovery phase from anesthesia in the recovery area. Results: At the emergence phase, the incidence of emergence agitation in the 0.1 mg/kg midazolam group was significantly lower than in the other groups (p=0.0010). At the recovery phase, there was no significant difference among the three groups. The odds ratio between PAED score and RASS score was 4.0 using logistic regression analysis. The odds ratio between PAED score and Disability was 2.5. Conclusion: Administration of a single dose of 0.1 mg/kg midazolam dose significantly decreases the incidence of severe emergence agitation at the emergence after sevoflurane anesthesia, but not at the recovery phase. Furthermore, the evaluation of sedative and agitation condition using RASS score at emergence from anesthesia is useful to predict occurrence of agitation in the recovery phase.

Abstract
Background Recently, we examined the effects of 2% lidocaine gel on the tactile sensory and pain thresholds of the face, tongue and hands of symptom-free individuals using quantitative sensory testing (QST); its effect was less on the skin of the face and hands than on the tongue. Consequently, instead of 2% lidocaine gel, we examined the effect of 8% lidocaine spray on the tactile sensory and pain thresholds of the skin of the face and hands of healthy volunteers. Methods Using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments, QST of the skin of the cheek and palm (thenar skin) was performed in 20 healthy volunteers. In each participant, two topical sprays were applied. On one side, 0.2 mL of 8% lidocaine pump spray was applied, and on the other side, 0.2 mL of saline pump spray was applied as control. In each participant, QST was performed before and 15 min after each application. Pain intensity was measured using a numeric rating scale (NRS). Results Both the tactile detection threshold and filament-prick pain detection threshold of the cheek and thenar skin increased significantly after lidocaine application. A significant difference between the effect of lidocaine and saline applications was found on the filament-prick pain detection threshold only. NRS of the cheek skin and thenar skin decreased after application of lidocaine, and not after application of saline. Conclusion The significant effect of applying an 8% lidocaine spray on the sensory and pain thresholds of the skin of the face and hands can be objectively scored using QST.

Abstract
This technical report describes a simple procedure for verifying occlusal contact with the use of a new device that combines the functions of a tongue depressor and an articulating paper holder. Verifying occlusal contact and/or the maxillomandibular relationship record can be expected to be simpler and easier with this device compared to the conventional holder, especially for patients with tongue hypertrophy or obesity and those treated under general anesthesia, among others.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Surface tension in saliva might contribute to the maintenance of upper airway patency. The present study aimed to determine whether salivary surface tension is altered in patients with Down syndrome who are predisposed to upper airway collapse. PATIENTS AND METHODS We used the pull-off force technique to measure surface tension in samples (100 μL) of saliva collected from twenty-three male patients with Down syndrome and twenty-three healthy males (controls). p < 0.05 was considered to indicate significance. RESULTS Salivary surface tension was significantly lower in the patients than in the controls (57.3 ± 4.9 vs. 60.3 ± 4.7 mN/m; p = 0.039). Age and surface tension positively correlated in the patients (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The lower surface tension of saliva in patients with Down syndrome might compensate for an anatomical predisposition towards upper airway collapsibility and other risk factors. The function of surface tension in saliva might be altered due to aging in such patients.

Abstract
Background Beneficial effects of mastication on cognitive abilities in the elderly have been shown in human studies. However, little is currently known about the effect of masticatory stimulation on cognitive and perceptual ability in younger populations. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the influences of masticatory stimulation on perceptual ability in adolescent boys. Methods The present study examined the relationship between occlusal force (i.e., masticatory stimulation) and visual perception ability in adolescent boys. Visual perception ability was quantified by measuring global motion coherence threshold using psychophysical method. As an index of masticatory stimulation, occlusal force was measured by pressure sensitive film. We also measured participants’ athletic ability, e.g. aerobic capacity and grip strength, as potential confounding factor. Results The multiple regression analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between global motion coherence threshold and occlusal force, which persisted after controlling for confounding factors such as age and aerobic capacity. Conclusions This finding indicates that masticatory stimulation enhances visual perception in adolescent boys, indicating the possibility that beneficial effects of masticatory stimulation are observed not only in the elderly but in developing population consistently with the findings of the previous animal studies.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a significant process in the invasion and metastasis of cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and the cadherin switch has been identified as one of the hallmarks of EMT. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the significance of the cadherin switch in the prognosis of OSCC and generate a model for prognostic predictions. Seventy-six biopsy and/or initial surgical specimens from OSCC patients were immunohistochemically analyzed for the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in either overall OSCC cells in tumor nests or in OSCC cells at the invasive front. Among 76 OSCC cases, overall OSCC cells in tumor nests were negative for the expression of E-cadherin in 10 cases and positive for that of N-cadherin in 53 cases. Among 10 cases negative for the expression of E-cadherin, 4 cases were positive for that of N-cadherin. In OSCC cells at the invasive front, the expression of E-cadherin was negative in 62 cases, while that of N-cadherin was positive in 39 cases. Among 62 cases negative for the expression of E-cadherin, 33 cases were positive for that of N-cadherin. A logistic regression analysis showed that a model using the evaluation of N-cadherin expression in overall OSCC cells in tumor nests with a cut-off point of 70 years old was the best fit model. These results suggest that N-cadherin has significant value in prognostic predictions for OSCC patients.

Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) systems are increasingly used for patients with both acute and chronic respiratory failure because of the clinical effectiveness and patient comfort associated with their use. Recently, HFNC has been used not only as a respiratory support device, but also as a drug delivery system. HFNC is designed to administer heated and humidified inspiratory oxygen flows (100% relative humidity at 37°C). Therefore, HFNC can provide high flows (up to 60 L/min) without discomfort. Moreover, HFNC improves oxygenation by exerting physiologic effects such as (a) dead-space washout and (b) moderate positive airway pressure. These characteristics and physiologic effects of HFNC may permit administration of high-flow nitrous oxide sedation while ensuring patient comfort and adequate sedative effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of lidocaine application to the face, tongue and hand on sensory and pain thresholds of symptom-free subjects. DESIGN Eighteen females (mean age 25.7 years, range 22-38) participated. Using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments, the tactile detection threshold (TDT) and the filament-prick pain detection threshold (FPT) were measured on the cheek skin (CS), tongue tip (TT) and palm side of the thenar skin (TS). Subjects were tested in 2 sessions at a 1week interval in randomised order. Lidocaine (session A) or placebo gel (session B) was applied for 5min. The TDT and FPT were measured before and after application. RESULTS The TDT at all sites in session A significantly increased after 5min, but a significant session effect on the TDT was only found at the TT (P<0.01). On the other hand, there were significant session effects on the FPT at all sites (P<0.01). CONCLUSION These results indicate that the pain threshold (FPT) is more susceptible to local anesthetics than the sensory threshold (TDT), but further study is needed to use topical lidocaine for the control of oral and facial pain in the clinic.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnea (OSAH) is a common disorder characterised by repetitive complete or partial closure of the upper airway during sleep, which results in sleep fragmentation and oxygen desaturation. There is growing interest in the use of oral appliances (OAs) to treat OSAH. The purpose of this study was to clarify the cephalometric factors that are associated with OSAH severity and that predict the outcome of OA therapy. Two hundred nine patients with OSAH were recruited and analysed retrospectively. They had a polysomnographically documented apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) of more than five respiratory events per hour. Lateral skull radiographs were used for cephalometric analysis. Only 67 of the 209 recruited patients underwent a second polysomnography (PSG) to evaluate the efficacy of OA therapy. In all recruited patients, the angle formed by the subspinal point (A) to the nasion (N) to the supramental point (B) (i.e. ANB angle) and the distance between the mandibular plane and hyoid bone (MP-H) were predictive factors of OSAH severity. In only 67 patients underwent PSG with an OA, the mean rate of decrease in the AHI was 47·8 ± 29·1%. OA therapy effectively treated OSAH in some patients with a very severe form of OSAH. However, patients who had a high position of the hyoid bone had a poor response to OA therapy. This study suggested that cephalometric analysis is useful for predicting OSAH severity and OA therapy efficacy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The advantages of nasal high-flow oxygen therapy (NHF) include not only allowing talking, but also eating and drinking, during the therapy. However, the effect of NHF on the swallowing reflex remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to assess the effects of NHF on the swallowing reflex. METHODS Nine healthy adult Japanese male volunteers with no history of dysphagia or diseases that may cause dysphagia, such as stroke or Parkinson's disease, were evaluated. Participants received one of four levels of NHF intervention (0 (control), 15, 30 and 45 L/min of oxygen) with the NHF system through the nasal cannula. Swallowing was induced by the administration of a bolus injection of 5 mL of distilled water over 3 s through a polyethylene catheter at each level of oxygen flow. The primary end-point was the latency period of the swallowing reflex after bolus injection, which was defined as the time from the start of the bolus injection to the onset of the electromyogram (EMG) burst of the first swallow. RESULTS Mean latency times of the swallowing reflex with 15 (9.8 ± 2.9 s), 30 (9.0 ± 2.7 s) and 45 (8.5 ± 3.0 s) L/min of NHF were significantly shorter than those under control conditions (11.9 ± 3.7 s; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that NHF may enhance swallowing function with increasing levels of NHF by reducing the latency of the reflex. CLINICAL RELEVANCE NHF may allow continuation of oral intake without aspiration during oxygen therapy.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the jaw closure using a pneumatic actuator device affect airway collapsibility and resistance during propofol anesthesia. DESIGN Prospective, randomized study. SETTING University-affiliated hospital. PATIENTS Six male subjects were included in the present study. INTERVENTION We used pressure-flow relationships to evaluate critical closing pressure (PCRIT) and upper airway resistance in different conditions of body and head position. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with a propofol infusion, targeting a constant blood concentration of 1.5 to 2.0μg/mL to establish an adequate depth of anesthesia, with patients breathing spontaneously through a nasal mask. An air-inflatable pneumatic actuator was used to achieve jaw closure. Nasal mask pressure was intermittently reduced to evaluate upper airway collapsibility (passive PCRIT) and upstream resistance under 4 different conditions: (1) neutral occlusion at 0-cm head elevation (baseline), (2) jaw closure at 0-cm head elevation, (3) neutral occlusion at 6-cm head elevation, and (4) jaw closure at 6-cm head elevation. PCRIT and upstream resistance under each condition were compared using 1-way analysis of variance. P<.05 was considered significant. MEASUREMENTS The pressure and inspiratory flow at the subjects' nose mask were recorded. Polysomonographic parameters (electroencephalograms, electrooculograms, submental electromyograms, and plethysmogram) were also recorded. MAIN RESULTS The combination of 6-cm head elevation with jaw closure using the pneumatic actuator decreased upper airway collapsibility (PCRIT≈-3.0 cm H2O) compared to the baseline position (PCRIT≈-1.2 cm H2O; P=.0003). CONCLUSION We demonstrated that jaw closure using an air-inflatable pneumatic actuator device can produce substantial decreases in upper airway collapsibility and maintain upper airway patency during propofol anesthesia.

Abstract
Background We hypothesized that ketamine, when administered as the anesthetic induction agent, may prevent cardiovascular depression during high-dose remifentanil administration, unlike propofol. To test our hypothesis, we retrospectively compared the hemodynamic effects of ketamine, during high-dose remifentanil administration, with those of propofol. Methods Thirty-eight patients who underwent oral surgery at the Nagasaki University Hospital between April 2014 and June 2015 were included in this study. Anesthesia was induced by the following procedure: First, high-dose remifentanil (0.3-0.5 µg/kg/min) was administered 2-3 min before anesthesia induction; next, the anesthetic induction agent, either propofol (Group P) or ketamine (Group K), was administered. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the heart rate were recorded by the automated anesthesia recording system at four time points: immediately before the administration of high-dose remifentanil (T1); immediately before the administration of propofol or ketamine (T2); 2.5 min (T3), and 5 min (T4) after the administration of the anesthetic induction agent. Results In Group P, the MAP at T3 (75.7 ± 15.5 mmHg, P = 0.0015) and T4 (68.3 ± 12.5 mmHg, P < 0.001) were significantly lower than those at T1 (94.0 ± 12.4 mmHg). However, the MAP values in the K group were very similar (P = 0.133) at all time points. The heart rates in both Groups P (P = 0.254) and K (P = 0.859) remained unchanged over time. Conclusions We showed that ketamine, when administered as the anesthetic induction agent during high-dose remifentanil administration, prevents cardiovascular depression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The reduction of endogenous nitric oxide (NO) production during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, generally via a reduction in endothelial NO synthase activity, leads to liver injury. We hypothesized that administration of an exogenous NO donor into the portal vein may ameliorate hepatic blood flow reduction after a period of ischemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 90 min of ischemia (portal vein and hepatic artery) was applied in 15 anesthetized pigs, using the Pringle method under sevoflurane anesthesia. All animals were administered either saline (control group, n = 8) or sodium nitroprusside (SNP, n = 7) as exogenous NO donor drugs into the portal vein, 30 min before and after ischemia. The portal venous blood flow and hepatic artery blood flow were measured continuously using transonic flow probes attached to each vessel. Endogenous NO (NOx = NO2- + NO3-) production was measured every 10 min using a microdialysis probe placed in the left lobe of the liver. RESULTS In the SNP group, portal venous flow remained unchanged and hepatic artery flow significantly increased compared to baseline. Although the production of liver tissue NOx transiently decreased to 60% after ischemia, its level in the SNP group remained higher than the control saline group. CONCLUSION Regional administration of SNP into the portal vein increases hepatic arterial flow during ischemia reperfusion periods without altering mean systemic arterial pressure. We speculate that administration of an exogenous NO donor may be effective in preventing liver injury via preservation of total hepatic blood flow.

Abstract
We experienced a case of life-threatening hypotension and bronchoconstriction associated with edema in a patient undergoing resection of a tumor of the right mandible following intravenous midazolam for induction of general anesthesia. We decided to postpone surgery for further examination of a possible drug-induced allergic reaction, and we rescheduled surgery for 1 week later. After administering H1 and H2 histamine antagonists, we administered a slow induction with sevoflurane in nitrous oxide and oxygen plus intravenous atropine sulfate after performing a test dose injection. We safely induced and maintained anesthesia with nitrous oxide, oxygen, and sevoflurane.

Abstract
Mask ventilation, along with tracheal intubation, is one of the most basic skills for managing an airway during anesthesia. Facial anomalies are a common cause of difficult mask ventilation, although numerous other factors have been reported. The long and narrow mandible is a commonly encountered mandibular anomaly. In patients with a long and narrow mandible, the gaps between the corners of the mouth and the lower corners of the mask are likely to prevent an adequate seal and a gas leak may occur. When we administer general anesthesia for these patients, we sometimes try to seal the airway using several sizes and shapes of commercially available face masks. We have found that the management of the airway for patients with certain facial anomalies may be accomplished by attaching a mask upside down.

Abstract
Although hyperventilation syndrome generally carries a good prognosis, it is associated with the risk of developing severe symptoms, such as post-hyperventilation apnea with hypoxemia and loss of consciousness. We experienced a patient who suffered from post-hyperventilation apnea. A 17-year-old female who suffered from hyperventilation syndrome for several years developed post-hyperventilation apnea after treatment using the paper bag rebreathing method and sedative administration during a dental procedure. We subsequently successfully provided her with monitored anesthesia care with propofol. Monitored anesthesia care with propofol may be effective for the general management of patients who have severe hyperventilation attacks and post-hyperventilation apnea. This case demonstrates that appropriate emergency treatment should be available for patients with hyperventilation attacks who are at risk of developing post-hyperventilation apnea associated with hypoxemia and loss of consciousness.

Abstract
Continuous maintenance of an appropriate position of the mandible and head purely by manual manipulation is difficult, although the maneuver can restore airway patency during sleep and anesthesia. The aim of this paper was to examine the effect of head elevation with jaw closure using a remote-controlled airbag device, such as the airbag system, on passive upper airway collapsibility during propofol anesthesia. Seven male subjects were studied. Propofol infusion was used for anesthesia induction and maintenance, with a target blood propofol concentration of 1.5–2 \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

In the clinical study, there was improvement of upper airway obstruction in sleep apnea patients, including decreased apnea and hypopnea duration and increased the lowest level of oxygen saturation. We demonstrated that establishment of head elevation with jaw closure achieved by a remote-controlled airbag device using an inflatable airbag system can produce substantial decreases in upper airway collapsibility and maintain upper airway patency during propofol anesthesia and sleep.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the mechanical upper airway properties and compensatory neuromuscular responses to obstruction during propofol anesthesia in the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. DESIGN Prospective, randomized study. SETTING University-affiliated hospital. SUBJECTS 12 premenopausal female volunteers for studies of upper airway collapse throughout their menstrual cycle during the follicular phase (6 -10 days) and mid-late luteal phase (20 - 24 days). MEASUREMENTS The level of propofol anesthesia (1.5 - 2.0 μg/mL) required to suppress arousal responses was determined by Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scoring (level 2) and confirmed by bispectral index monitoring. Pressure-flow relationships were constructed to evaluate collapsibility (P(CRIT)) and up-stream resistance (R(US)) during acute [Passive; hypotonic electromyography (EMG)] and sustained (Active; elevated EMG) changes in nasal mask pressure. The difference between passive P(CRIT) and active P(CRIT) (ΔP(CRIT A-P)) represented the magnitude of the compensatory response to obstruction. MAIN RESULTS Passive P(CRIT) was significantly higher in the mid-late luteal phase (-4.7 cm H(2)O) than in the follicular phase (-6.2 cmH(2)O; P < 0.05). Active P(CRIT) significantly decreased compared with passive P(CRIT) in the follicular phase (-10.1 cm H(2)O) and in the mid-late luteal phase (-7.7 cm H(2)O) and (P < 0.05). No significant difference was noted in ΔP(CRIT) between the follicular (3.9 ± 2.9 cm H(2)O) and mid-late luteal phases (3.0 ± 2.6 cm H(2)O). No differences were seen in R(US) between the menstrual phases for either the passive (P = 0.8) or active (P = 0.75) states. CONCLUSIONS Menstrual phase has an effect on anatomical alterations (mechanical properties) in the hypotonic upper airway during propofol anesthesia.
