Association of cognitive performance with overall, dosage, intensity, and domain physical activity in aging: NHANES 2011-2014.

Background: The specific relationship between PA in detailed types and cognition is still unclear due to limited evidence. Our study aimed to investigate the relationship between cognitive performance and various aspects of physical activity, including overall activity, dosage, intensity levels [moderate physical activity (MPA), vigorous PA], and different domains of activity [occupational PA (OPA), transportation PA (TPA), and leisure-time PA (LTPA)] in older adults using data from the NHANES database.

Methods: This cross-sectional analysis used data from 2 cycles of NHANES (2011-2014).

Behavior Change Techniques Used in Self-Management Interventions Based on mHealth Apps for Adults With Hypertension: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Hypertension has become an important global public health challenge. Mobile health (mHealth) intervention is a viable strategy to improve outcomes for patients with hypertension. However, evidence on the effect of mHealth app interventions on self-management in patients with hypertension is yet to be updated, and the active ingredients promoting behavior change in interventions remain unclear.

Effects of Mobile Applications on Weight-Related, Behavior and Metabolic Outcomes for Adults with Overweight and Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The meta-analysis aimed to explore the effects of mobile phone applications on weight-related, behavior, and metabolic outcomes among adults with overweight and obesity. Six databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 1, 2010 and November 7, 2023 in English. Two independent authors conducted study selection, data extraction, quality assessment.

MiR-8-3p regulates hyperthermia-induced lactate secretion by targeting PPP2R5B in boar Sertoli cells.

Lactate produced by glycolysis in Sertoli cells (SCs) is the main energy substrate for developing germ cells and plays a vital role in spermatogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression in biological processes. We have previously shown that hyperthermia (43°C, 30 min) promotes lactate secretion by inhibiting phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in cultured immature boar SCs.

Soy isoflavones attenuate bone loss in early postmenopausal Chinese women : a single-blind randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Background: Previous studies show that daily doses of 40-99 mg soy isoflavones produce inconsistent effects on preventing estrogen-related bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Aim Of The Study: To examined the bone-sparing effect of isoflavones at a higher dose in early Chinese postmenopausal women.

Methods: A total of 90 eligible women aged 45-60 years were randomly assigned to three treatment groups (30 subjects/group) with daily dosages of 0 (placebo), 84 and 126 mg isoflavones for 6 months.
