ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Resistance exercise increases muscle mass and improves muscle strength,but there is a lack of conclusive evidence on its effects on body composition.Controversial results from randomized controlled trials and multiple Meta-analyses pose a problem for clinical decisions on exercise interventions. OBJECTIVE:Based on the methodological paradigm of umbrella review,to explore the efficacy and safety of resistance exercise in improving the body composition of overweight and obese people. METHODS:We searched PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and CNKI for systematic reviews on the effect of resistance exercise in overweight and obese people published from database inception to August 31,2022.Chinese search terms included"anti-resistance,resistance,self-weight,Meta,Meta-analysis,body composition,body fat percentage,fat mass,lean body mass,body mass."English search terms included"resistance training,strength training,weight-lifting strengthening program,body composition,body fat distribution,Meta-analysis,data pooling,overviews,clinical trial,clinical trial overviews."PRISMA was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies,and a GRADE evaluation system was used to grade the quality of evidence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 14 Meta-analyses were included,and GRADE evidence quality evaluation showed that 2 outcome indicators were intermediate,12 were low,and 14 were extremely low.Compared with the control group,23 of the 32 outcome measures showed significant improvement.The intervention effect of resistance exercise on body fat percentage has reached a consensus,but the intervention effects on lean body mass,body mass index and visceral fat still need further confirmation.Resistance exercise is an effective and safe method to improve the body composition of overweight and obese people.The overall quality of the research and the evidence quality of the outcome indicators included in the systematic evaluation are generally low.In the future,the initial state,exercise goal and willingness of the subjects should be fully combined on the basis of clarifying the sample characteristics and refining the scheme design.Through multiple,scientific and personalized exercise prescription designs of water,air and elastic resistance,the safety and compliance of resistance exercise can be improved,providing clear evidence-based support and decision-making basis for resistance exercise intervention.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:Masks are one of the most important defenses against the virus.However,the impact of wearing masks during daily activities or sports on respiratory and circulatory function remains controversial.A comprehensive quantitative evaluation of the effects of mask-wearing on human heart rate,oxygen saturation and end-expiratory carbon dioxide by Meta-analysis was conducted.The effects of wearing different types of masks at different exercise intensities and time of exercise on the human respiratory and circulatory system were explored. METHODS:By February 2023,with"mask,face mask,N95,training,sports,running,walking,cycling"as the Chinese search terms and"masks,respiratory protective devices,N95 respirators,surgical face masks,exercise,resistance training,explosive training,muscle exercises"as English search terms,the experimental studies addressing the influence of exercise with a mask on hemodynamic indexes were retrieved from CNKI,Web of Science,PubMed,Cochrane Library and WanFang databases.The outcome indicators included three continuous variables-exercise center rate,blood oxygen saturation and end-expiratory carbon dioxide.Stata16.0 software was used to analyze the outcome indicators of the included literature.The PEDro scale was used as a quality assessment tool,and the funnel plot was used to analyze the impact of publication bias. RESULTS:Totally 25 articles involving 857 healthy children and adults were included in this Meta-analysis.The overall methodological quality was high,with 22 studies scoring 6 points on the PEDro scale,2 studies scoring 7 points and 1 study scoring 8 points.The meta-analysis results showed that compared with the control group,exercise with masks had no significant effect on heart rate(SMD=0.02,95%CI:-0.11 to 0.15,P=0.81),but increased end-expiratory carbon dioxide(SMD=0.60,95%CI:0.37 to 0.83,P=0.00),decreased oxygen saturation(SMD=-0.28,95%CI:-0.47 to-0.09,P=0.03).Intensity and duration were the factors that affected the heterogeneity between studies.Wearing a mask during high-intensity exercise significantly increased heart rate(SMD=-0.20,95%CI:-0.36 to-0.04,P=0.02).The effect of high-intensity and short-time exercise on blood oxygen saturation was significantly higher than that of other exercises(SMD=-0.40,95%CI:-0.70 to-0.10;SMD=-0.25,95%CI:-0.45 to-0.04).For end-expiratory carbon dioxide,maintaining a certain intensity and increasing the exercise time or increasing the intensity further increased the index significantly,reaching a moderate effect size(SMD=0.61,95%CI:0.06 to 1.15;SMD=0.58,95%CI:0.04 to 1.13). CONCLUSION:Existing evidence suggests that exercise with masks may have the adverse effect of increasing end-expiratory carbon dioxide and decreasing blood oxygen saturation.The influence of different exercise test time and intensities on the three outcome indexes was different.Wearing a mask during high-intensity exercise can significantly increase heart rate and decrease blood oxygen saturation.Maintaining moderate intensity for a long period or further increasing the intensity of exercise will lead to increased end-expiratory carbon dioxide levels.

ABSTRACT

The classic formula Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimutang, listed as the 15th formula in the Catalog of Ancient Classic Formulas (First Batch) published in 2018, originated from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber (《金匮要略》) written by ZHANG Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It consists of Cinnamomi Ramulus, Ephedrae Herba, Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and is effective in dispelling wind, eliminating dampness, dispersing cold, relieving impediment, nourishing Yin, and clearing heat. It is mainly used to treat diseases characterized by wind, cold, and dampness invading the body, combined with heat damaging Yin, such as joint disorders, rheumatism, gout, and knee osteoarthritis. Based on the call for "inheritance of essence and application of ancient knowledge for modern use", this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of historical evolution, composition, formulation principles, processing, dosage, decocting methods, and indications of Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimutang using textual research on ancient and modern literature. When analyzing modern literature, it has been found that this formula is widely used in the treatment of various diseases. It is mainly applied to rheumatic diseases such as rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, gouty arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis, as well as orthopedic diseases like knee osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, sciatica, and knee joint effusion. It can also be used for diseases in other systems, including the endocrine system, gynecology, respiratory system, and circulatory system. The pathological mechanisms involve the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness accompanied by heat pathogens, reflecting the concept of treating different diseases with the same principles in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Through the analysis of ancient and modern literature on Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimutang using a literature statistical method, the historical evolution and key formula and syndrome information were clarified to provide a theoretical basis for the development and further research of Guizhi Shaoyao Zhimutang in terms of its formulation and subsequent in-depth studies.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the component, target and pathway of Panax notoginseng for coronary heart disease (CHD) and its potential molecular mechanism. METHODS: Based on network pharmacology, active components of P. notoginseng were retrieved with TCMSP platform. The targets of P. notoginseng for CHD were screened by using DRAR-CPI server, GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. Cytoscape 3.6.0 software was used to form the effective components-CHD targets network of P. notoginseng. String database was used to draw target interaction network. Network Analyzer tool was used to calculate target connectivity, and potential core targets were screened. Molecular docking between the core targets and the effective components of P. notoginseng was performed by Systems Dock Web Site server. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis were also carried out to explore the important signal pathway and molecular function of P. notoginseng for CHD. “Effective component-target-signal pathway”network of important signal pathway were constructed. RESULTS: Five effective components (stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, ginsenoside rh2, quercetin, notoginsenoside r1) were screened from P. notoginseng for CHD, which acted on 96 targets and had 134 functional relationships. Five core targets were protein kinase B (AKT), interleukin 6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), c-JUN protein (c-JUN) and heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), which played an important role in the treatment of CHD by altering protein binding and regulating signaling pathways as phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase-protein/kinase B (PI3K/AKT), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). CONCLUSIONS: P. notoginseng in the treatment of CHD is not only play a variety of effects through the role of multiple targets, but also produce complex network regulation effect through the interaction between targets.

ABSTRACT

A sensitive method based on high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed for the simultaneous determination of folic acid (FA) and its active metabolite, 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-M-THF), in human plasma. The analytes were extracted from plasma with methanol solution containing 10 mg/mL of 2-mercaptoethanol and 0.025% (v/v) ammonium hydroxide. FA and 5-M-THF were more stable after the addition of 2-mercaptoethanol and ammonium hydroxide in the sample preparation procedures of this study than they were in the previously published methods. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Hedera ODS-2 column using a gradient elution system of acetonitrile and 1 mM ammonium acetate buffer solution containing 0.6% formic acid as mobile phase. LC-MS/MS was carried out with an ESI ion-source and operated in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The assay was linear over the concentration ranges of 0.249-19.9 ng/mL for FA, and 5.05-50.5 ng/mL for 5-M-THF. The developed LC-MS/MS method offers increased sensitivity for quantification of FA and 5-M-THF in human plasma and was applicable to a pharmacokinetic study of FA and 5-M-THF.

ABSTRACT

It has been demonstrated that the activated protein C (APC) plays an important role in the inhibition of inflammation. The activation of protein C can be significantly enhanced by the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR). Previous studies proposed that the APC regulates the inflammatory response in endothelial cells by suppressing the expression of adhesion molecules and the secretion of chemokines and cytokines. However, the precise mechanism of the inhibitory effect of APC on inflammation is still poorly understood. In the present study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of recombinant human APC (rhAPC) and whether its inhibitory effect is conducted through the EPCR-dependent mechanism on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). By exposing HUVECs to: (1) TNF-alpha; (2) rhAPC plus TNF-alpha; (3) anti EPCR antibody that prevents rhAPC interaction with EPCR; (4) TNF-alpha plus anti EPCR antibody; (5) rhAPC plus TNF-alpha in the presence of anti EPCR antibody, we found that APC was able to significantly inhibit the TNF-alpha-induced secretion of cytokines such as IL-1beta and IL-8, as well as the expression of adhesion molecules such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selction in HUVECs. These results reveal a novel pathway by which APC protects endothelial cells from inflammatory mediators through an EPCR-dependent mechanism.

ABSTRACT

Objectives The ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins, which function in electron transfer reactions in a variety of systems and participate in the activation of the antimicrobial agent metronidazole. The aim of this study is to clone and characterize ferredoxin genes of Trichomonas vaginalis. Methods A cDNA expression library was constructed with T. Vaginalis total RNA. Hundreds of cDNA clones were isolated and sequenced. Sequence analysis was performed using BLAST programs, ClustalW program, etc. Results One of the cDNA clones, which has homology with T.vaginalis ferredoxin, was further analyzed. This cDNA clone has an open reading frame of 312 base pairs. The deduced precursor protein contains 103 amino acid residues with a hydrogenosome targeting sequence (MLSQCSPLRF) at the N-terminal end. The primary sequence analysis revealed that this new ferredoxin (TvFd2) has a high homology (69% identity) to the previous reported T.vaginalis ferredoxin(TvFd). Interestingly, TvFd2 is homologous to both the two subclasses of (2Fe-2S) ferredoxins, the oxidase ferredoxins and the photosynthetic ferredoxins,but with low similarity. The conserved four-cysteine residues, which are predicted to form the iron-sulfur cluster,are arranged in a typical pattern of (2Fe-2S)ferredoxins(-C-X5-C-X2-C-Xn-C-). Conclusion These data show that TvFd2 is a putative new (2Fe-2S) ferredoxin of T.vaginalis. Its biological function remains to be studied.

ABSTRACT

Objective To clarify the genetic diversity of HIV-1 strains currently circulating in Shanghai and establish the molecular epidemiological database of HIV-1 infection.Methods The samples from 114 newly diagnosed HIV-l-infected individuals between June 2004 and June 2005 were investigated.HIV-1 pol gene(protease 1-99 aa and reverse transcriptase 1-252 aa) from plasma sam- ples were amplified by RT-PCR,sequenced and phylogenetieally analyzed.Protease inhibitors(PRIs) and reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) resistance-associated mutations in protease (PR) and re- verse transcriptase(RT) regions were analyzed.Results (1)Epidemiological survey showed the exist ence of different modes of transmission of HIV-1 including sexual contacts 51(44.74%),intravenous drug users 43 (37.72%),contaminated blood/blood products transfusion 3(2.63%) and unknown in- fection 17(14.91%);(2)Phylogenetic analysis revealed that 9 of the analyzed sequences were identi- fied as subtype B(7.89%),15 as subtype B'(13.16%),1 as subtype C(0.88%),1 as subtype G (0.88%),38 as CRF01 AE(33.33%),46 as CRF07 BC(40.35%) and4 asCRF08 BC(3.51%); (3)Analysis of drug-resistance associated mutation showed that 21 of 114 (18.42%) persons infected with drug-resistant HIV-1,among which major mutations in PR and RT regions accounted for 2.63 (3/114) and 17.54% (20/114),respectively.The frequencies of major mutation in PR region were M46I(66.67%),M46L(33.33%) and in RT region were M41L(7.69%),A62V (7.69%),T69S (7.69%),V75I/L(15.38%),K103R(25.00%),V118I(23.08%),V179D/E/T(33.33%),G190R (8.33%),L210K/M/X(38.46%),227L/I(16.67%),M230R(8.33%),P236R(8.33%).Conclusions The results revealed the current presence of multiple HIV-1 subtypes and recombinants strains infec- ting residents and migrants living in Shanghai.The broad diversity of HIV-1 has been introduced into Shanghai mainly through drug injection and heterosexual contacts.This study also revealed that HIV-1 strains infecting these newly diagnosed treatment-naive persons have acquired major mutations in both PR gene and RT gene of HIV-1.
