Shimizu, Ryota Sato, Masayuki Nakamori","doi":"10.3233/jnd-230168","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/jnd-230168","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose of review: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a heterogeneous group characterized by muscle weakness and skin symptoms and are categorized into six subtypes: dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), immune-mediated myopathy (IMNM), inclusion body myopathy (IBM), and overlap myositis. Myositis-specific autoantibodies were detected for the diagnosis and classification of IIM. This review highlights the pathogenic contributions of the complement system, microangiopathy, and inflammation in IIM. Recent findings: Deposition of complement around capillaries and/or the sarcolemma was observed in muscle biopsy specimens from patients with DM, ASS, and IMNM, suggesting the pathomechanism of complement-dependent muscle and endothelial cell injury. A recent study using human muscle microvascular endothelial cells showed that Jo-1 antibodies from ASS induce complement-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in vitro. Based on both clinical and pathological observations, antibody- and complement-mediated microangiopathy may contribute to the development of DM and anti-Jo-1 ASS. Juvenile DM is characterized by the loss of capillaries, perivascular inflammation, and small-vessel angiopathies, which may be related to microinfarction and perifascicular atrophy. Several serum biomarkers that reflect the IFN1 signature and microangiopathy are elevated in patients with DM. The pathological observation of myxovirus resistance protein A (MxA), which suggests a type 1 interferon (IFN1) signature in DM, supports the diagnosis and further understanding of the pathomechanism of IIM. A recent report showed that an increase in triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1) around perimysial blood vessels and muscles in patients with IIM plays a role in triggering inflammation and promoting the migration of inflammatory cells by secreting proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α. Summary: The deposition of complement in muscles and capillaries is a characteristic feature of DM, ASS, and IMNM. Microangiopathy plays a pathogenic role in DM, possibly resulting in perifascicular atrophy. Further understanding of the detailed pathomechanism regarding complement, microangiopathy, and inflammation may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for IIM.","PeriodicalId":16536,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuromuscular diseases","volume":"34 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138957226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: We used quantitative MRI to gain insight in microstructure and fat content of muscle during treatment and to explore its use as biomarker for treatment effect. Methods: We used a quantitative MRI protocol before start of treatment and following the 4th and 6th injection of nusinersen in 8 children with SMA type 2 and 3 during the first year of treatment. The MR protocol allowed DIXON, T2 mapping and diffusion tensor imaging acquisitions. We also assessed muscle strength and motor function scores. Results: Fat fraction of all thigh muscles with the exception of the m. adductor longus increased in all patients during treatment (+3.2%, p = 0.02). WaterT2 showed no significant changes over time (–0.7 ms, p = 0.3). DTI parameters MD and AD demonstrate a significant decrease in the hamstrings towards values observed in healthy muscle. Conclusions: Thigh muscles of children with SMA treated with nusinersen showed ongoing fatty infiltration and possible normalization of thigh muscle microstructure during the first year of nusinersen treatment.

Although risdiplam has been registered since 2020, real-world data in adults is still scarce. There have been no new safety signals so far, with some results pointing that risdiplam may be effective Objective: The objective was to present real-world data of 31 adult patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 and type 3 treated with risdiplam in the Republic of Croatia Methods: Treatment effects were assessed with motor function tests and patient reported outcome measures, including Individualized Neuromuscular Quality of Life questionnaire, and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale. Side effects, as well as subjective improvements and symptoms, were noted. Results: Majority of patients did not report any side effects. During treatment, we have observed clinically meaningful improvements in some patients, with stabilization of motor functions in the remaining patients. The majority of patients with bulbar function impairment experienced bulbar function improvement, all patients reported an increased quality of life with treatment. An unexpected observed treatment effect was weight gain in a third of all patients with some patients reporting an increase in appetite and subjective improvement in digestion. Conclusions: Risdiplam treatment was well tolerated with subjective and objective positive outcomes registered as measured by functional motor scales and patient-reported outcomes. Since risdiplam is administered orally and acts as a systemic therapy for a multisystemic disorder, effects in systems other than neuromuscular can be expected and should be monitored. Due to systemic nature of the disease patients need multidisciplinary monitoring.","PeriodicalId":16536,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuromuscular diseases","volume":"24 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138594269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare genetically heterogeneous disease with three clinical variants. The classic one is a combination of hyperostosis, arthropathy and pachyderma and two variants with damage to only bone structures or pachyderma. Two genes responsible for the occurrence of primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy have been identified: HPGD (debut age up to one year) and SLCO2A1 (debut in puberty and adolescence), whose products are involved in prostaglandin E2 metabolism. Two recurrent variants were identified in the HPGD gene: c.175_176delCT(p.Leu59fs) in patients from Europe and c.310_311delCT in patients from China. There were no clinical and genetic correlations in patients with different variants in the identified genes, which may be due to a small number of observations. The analysis of clinical manifestations in patients with newly identified variants or previously unidentified combinations of variants in a compound‑heterozygous state helps to understand the pathogenesis and prognosis of the course of the disease.Aim. To present the clinical and genetic characteristics of two Russian patients with primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy caused by a newly identified combination of nucleotide variants in a compound‑heterozygous state in the HPGD and SLCO2A1 genes.Materials and methods. Clinical examination, radiography of the skeleton and chest, electrocardiography, echocardiography. Confirmation of the pathogenicity of the identified variants and clarification of the type of disease was carried out using automatic Sanger sequencing.Results. The clinical and genetic characteristics of two unrelated patients with primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy caused by an undescribed combination of variants in the compound heterozygous state in the HPGD and SLCO2A1 genes were analyzed. In a patient with variants in the SLCO2A1 gene, the disease debuts at the age of 14 with deformities of the fingers, nails on the hands and feet, followed by the addition of burning pain in the distal parts of the arms and legs. At the age of 33, the examination revealed deformity of the fingers of the hands and feet by the type of drumsticks and nails by the type of watch glasses, enlargement of the knee joints, pronounced arthralgia. There were no signs of pachyderma. The new generation sequencing revealed two variants in the SLCO2A1 gene c.764G&gt;A(p.Gly255Glu) in exon 6 and c.1333C&gt;T(p.Arg445Cys) in exon 10. These variants were identified earlier in a compound‑heterozygous combination with other variants in patients with the classical phenotype of the disease, which were not present in the patient we observed.

The aim of our literature review was to evaluate those parameters of the treatment protocols which proved significant efficacy in the management of the neuropathic pain with comorbid depression.Focusing on the Scopus, Elsevier and PubMed databases search, we have found 639 peer‑review articles. 23 studies have been included into the data analysis, whereas others were excluded based on their heterogeneous study design. Across the data analysis we evaluated such rTMS parameters as the type of a coil, type of stimulation area, locus of gained evoked motor potential, amplitude of stimulation, duration of session, frequency/number of sessions per day/month, tie duration between sessions, number and frequency of trains, amount and frequency of pulses containing and efficacy of treatment. Those studies that performed repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation using the figure‑of‑8 coil over the M1 brain area, for 10 or more daily sessions with duration from 7 up to 40 minutes, of 10–20 Hz frequency, intensity 80–90 % of resting motor threshold and total pulses number over 1500 per session demonstrated the greater efficacy in pain level decrease and depression scores reduction among neuropathic pain patients with comorbid depression. Conducting an additional maintenance phase of treatment prolonged the therapeutic effect of the course.Based on the data review, the parameters of the most efficient rTMS protocols’ designs in management of patients with neuropathic pain and comorbid depression have been revealed. Further research requires investigation of other promising indicators of rTMS efficacy use in neuropathic pain with comorbid depression, such as stimulation over multiple brain areas, the duration/timing of additional maintenance phase of treatment, and the figure‑of‑8 coil orientation options.","PeriodicalId":16536,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuromuscular diseases","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77463603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, 3 phenotypic forms are distinguished. There are Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 2C, distal hereditary motor neuropathy type 8 (DHMN8), scapulo‑peroneal spinal muscular atrophy (SPSMA). Here we report 3 families with DNMN8 and one family with SPSMA. In all cases, DNA‑analysis revealed single nucleotide variants in the TRPV4 gene previously reported as pathogenic. In 3 probands, a combination of signs of both motor and motor‑sensory neuropathies led to difficulties in the establishment of the clinical diagnosis. Patients had mild sensory disturbances in the feet, but in all of these cases nerve conduction study revealed normal sensory nerve action potentials. Considering the prevailing signs of motor neuropathy, these patients were diagnosed with DNMN8. Clinical signs of sensory disturbances are regarded as not  contradicting  the  diagnosis,  since  they  can  be  observed  in  various  forms  of  distal  motor  neuropathies. The clinical features of SPSMA in one patient corresponded to those previously described in the literature. The involvement of the shoulder girdle muscles and the peroneal muscles and neurogenic changes in needle electromyography allow suspecting SPSMA clinically. A distinctive features of TRPV4‑associated neuromuscular diseases are the vocal cords paresis, sensorineural hearing loss and respiratory failure, however they are not obligatory according to our clinical reports.","PeriodicalId":16536,"journal":{"name":"Journal of neuromuscular diseases","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87464717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
