α adrenergic agonists are widely used in clinical anesthesia and ICU sedation owing to their effective sedative and analgesic effects. Lumbago and leg pain is the most common clinical pain disease. Studies have reported that lumbago and leg pain is associated with dysregulation of paravertebral muscles, especially psoas major muscles. In the present study, a unilateral lower extremity chronic inflammation and pain model was established by subcutaneous administration of low-dose complete Fredrin's adjuvant (CFA) into the posterior paw of rats. α adrenalin receptor agonist was then injected into the psoas major muscle. Behavioral tests were conducted for 21 days. Psoas major muscle tissue was harvested for evaluation of biochemical indexes related to pain. The effect of α adrenergic receptor agonist injected into psoas major muscle on chronic inflammatory pain of lower extremities in rats was explored. The results showed that injection of α adrenergic receptor agonist into the psoas major muscle relieved CFA-induced mechanical hyperalgesia. Administration of α adrenergic receptor antagonist yohimbine reversed the analgesic effect of α adrenergic receptor agonists. Administration of dexmedetomidine into psoas major muscle downregulated the levels of norepinephrine, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in tissues. The findings of the present study show that administration of α adrenoceptor agonists into the psoas major muscle relieves chronic inflammatory pain induced by CFA. Local injection of dexmedetomidine also exerted anti-inflammatory and anti-sympathetic effect by activating α-adrenoceptor in the psoas major muscle.

As PI-LL mismatch is an effective index for spinal surgery and PI-LL less than 10 probably indicates better quality of life, this study aimed to assess spinopelvic parameters, lumbar instability, and lumbar muscle morphology in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) with different PI-LL mismatches. This cross-sectional study included 158 CLBP patients. The association between lumbar extensor muscle morphology (measured from magnetic resonance imaging) and spinopelvic parameters (measured from standing lateral radiographs) and lumbar instability (measured from lumbar flexion/extension radiographs) was compared between two groups of patients with different PI-LL mismatch.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between PET and CT parameters and sarcopenia, adipose tissue, and tumor metabolism in esophageal carcinoma(EC) and its impact on survival in EC.

Method: Our study included 122 EC patients who underwent PET/CT for staging. Muscle and adipose tissue characteristics were evaluated, including lumbar(L3) and cervical(C3) muscle areas, psoas major(PM) and sternocleidomastoid muscle(SCM) parameters, and PET parameters for visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue(SAT).

Muscle fiber is an important factor in beef quality. Here, we compared fast-type longissimus dorsi muscle and slow-type psoas major muscle from cattle using transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses. A total of 1717 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 297 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) and 193 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) were identified between LD and PM tissue, respectively.

Background: Lumbar spine injuries and lumbar disc degeneration are common spinal health problems that seriously affect people's quality of life and efficiency at work. Marathon running enhances skeletal muscle strength and endurance, and promotes increased bone mineral density. This study aimed to investigate the effects of marathon running on the lumbar spine and surrounding tissue components.

Objectives: Sarcopenia and malnutrition often occur simultaneously in adults with cardiovascular diseases. Our objective was to determine the associations of preoperative sarcopenia and malnutrition with major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) after cardiac surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 154 consecutive patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery between January 2015 and June 2018 at two institutions in Japan.
