The fact that restriction and recovery of neural input/output activity occurs over several months in patients with brachial plexus injury suggests a multistage brain reorganization process, corresponding to the changes in neural input/output activity. It is presumed that the degree of activation related to the motor function of patient's limbs decreases until the recovery of neural input/output activity, and increases later, although no data have been reported that prove this assumption. Another confusing factor is the alteration of volitional muscle control nerves before and after intercostal nerve transfer. To clarify the complex long-term brain reorganization process, sequential follow-up study on the same patient is essential.
where Naf is the number of activated voxels in the SMC contralateral to the affected side during the motor task of the affected side, and Nunaf is the number of activated voxels in the SMC contralateral to the unaffected side during the motor task of the unaffected side.
where Nright is the number of activated voxels in the SMC of the left side during the motor task of the right side, and Nleft is the number of activated voxels in the SMC of the right side during the motor task of the left side.
Figure 3 demonstrates a rendering of analysis results using the fixed-effect model of seven patients during the motor task of the affected side in serial fMRI examinations. Activation of the contralateral SMC decreased at the second examination, but increased at the third examination.
Figure 4 shows a transition of the number of activated voxels in the contralateral SMC of three patients who had good recovery, fMRI with motor task from the first to the fourth examination of the affected side and unaffected side. The activation of the contralateral SMC decreased at the second fMRI examination but tended to recover at the third and fourth fMRI examinations.
Figure 5 shows serial fMRI results during the motor task of the affected side of a right BPI patient. The activation of the contralateral SMC decreased at the second fMRI examination but tended to recover at the third and fourth fMRI examinations. His biceps brachii muscle force improved to 3 on MMT 3 years after operation.
In order to avoid including influence of dominant arm on activation of right and left hemispheres, we selected right side injury of right-handed subjects only in the comparison of AI of the first fMRI examination and that of healthy subjects. Further investigation with more number of patients including those with left-side injury would be necessary.
The analysis based on the fixed-effect model during the motor task of the affected side from the first to the third fMRI examinations showed that the activation of the contralateral SMC decreased at the second fMRI examination, but tended to recover by the third fMRI examination. Also, transition of the number of activated voxels in the contralateral SMC during the motor task of the affected side (from the first to the fourth fMRI examination) in patients who had recovery showed a reduced number of activated voxels at the second examination and a subsequent increase at the third to fourth examination. Malessy et al. performed fMRI on recovering patients from 45 to 103 months after BPI surgery [16]. They reported that during elbow flexion task, activation in the primary motor cortex contralateral to the affected side did not differ significantly from that contralateral to the unaffected side. It is known that muscle force recovery continues for several years after suture of the peripheral nerves. Therefore, we predict that our patients will show continuing recovery of muscle force and activation in the SMC to a point close to normal level.
Homology of the task is important in fMRI study on motor function. In our study, when motor function of patients was impaired, they were asked to have the intention to flex their elbow as strongly as possible. It is known that an enlarged activated area in the brain is generally observed in accordance with more greatly evoked muscle strength in fMRI during motor task. On the other hand, when the evoked muscle force exceeds 65% of the maximum muscle power, the number of activated voxels remains flat in the contralateral SMC [42]. Our patients were asked to imagine carrying out the motor task to their greatest ability and reconfirm that they had done so after the MRI examination. Therefore, we assumed that each motor task was performed to the level of maximum muscle force of each subject, thus the number of activated voxels in the motor cortex should theoretically be the same in each subject. In this respect, we can say that the degree of motor tasks was equal among all of the subjects and all of the examinations.

Diabetes impairs enteric nervous system functions; however, ultrastructural changes underlying the pathophysiology of the myenteric plexus and the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors are poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate three-dimensional ultrastructural changes in axonal varicosities in the myenteric plexus and the effect thereon of the SGLT inhibitor phlorizin in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Three-dimensional ultrastructural analysis using serial block-face imaging revealed that non-treated HFD-fed mice had fewer axonal varicosities and synaptic vesicles in the myenteric plexus than did normal diet-fed control mice. Furthermore, mitochondrial volume was increased and lysosome number decreased in the axons of non-treated HFD-fed mice when compared to those of control mice. Phlorizin treatment restored the axonal varicosities and organelles in HFD-fed mice. Although HFD did not affect the immunolocalisation of PGP9.5, it reduced synaptophysin immunostaining in the myenteric plexus, which was restored by phlorizin treatment. These results suggest that impairment of the axonal varicosities and their synaptic vesicles underlies the damage to the enteric neurons caused by HFD feeding. SGLT inhibitor treatment could restore axonal varicosities and organelles, which may lead to improved gastrointestinal functions in HFD-induced obesity as well as diabetes.
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is mainly composed of the myenteric and the submucosal plexus, the former of which is located between the longitudinal and circular smooth muscle layers, and regulates the physiological functions of the gastrointestinal tract1. Altered ENS function is considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of several digestive system disorders. For instance, gastrointestinal motility disorders, such as vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, and faecal incontinence, often accompany diabetes. Up to 75% of patients with diabetes experience symptoms of autonomic neuropathies2,3, in which hyperglycaemia increases glucose metabolism via the polyol pathway by enhancing inflammation-induced oxidative stress and dyslipidaemia4. Importantly, a change of this nature in the gastrointestinal nutrient flow is likely to exacerbate the existing dysfunction of whole-body metabolism and glucose regulation in patients5.
High-fat diet (HFD)-ingesting animals have been used to simulate western diet-induced prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in humans6,7. In rodents fed an HFD, peripheral neuropathy, reflected by a decrease in motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity and impairment in behavioural responses to mechanical and thermal stimuli, is observed8,9. Further, an HFD has been found to increase ROS production and reduce antioxidant enzyme activities, with a concurrent accumulation of oxidatively damaged mitochondrial proteins and increased mitochondrial fission10. These results suggest that mitochondrial damage and dysfunction may play a role in the dying-back neurodegeneration that occurs in diabetic neuropathy. Although the above studies suggested that increased dietary fat predisposes animals to nerve dysfunction even in the absence of T2DM. However, whether such neurological changes occur in the autonomic nerves of the intestinal tract in response to an HFD remains unknown, and the longstanding structural changes in the myenteric plexus caused by HFD have not been fully characterised via detailed ultrastructural analyses11. 2ff7e9595c
