Introduction: Research on the effects of training programs involving small-sided games (SSG) versus high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been increasing in recent years. However, there is limited understanding of how an individual's initial physical fitness level might influence the extent of adaptations achieved through these programs. This study aimed to compare the impacts of SSG and HIIT on male soccer players, while also considering the players' athleticism, categorized into lower and higher total athleticism score (TSA).

We report the case of a 32-year-old female patient who presented with worsening symptoms of bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. Based on the clinical presentation, colonoscopy findings, and CT imaging, the patient underwent colectomy for suspected intestinal perforation. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry analysis of the resected specimen ultimately led to the diagnosis of primary intestinal NK/T-cell lymphoma.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- GABAergic interneurons are crucial for maintaining a balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain, particularly in the prefrontal cortex (PFC); an overload of glucocorticoids, like dexamethasone (DEX), can disrupt these cells and increase vulnerability to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
- In a study with adult male mice, chronic DEX treatment led to observed behaviors resembling depression and anxiety, as well as reduced levels of important GABAergic markers and a decrease in brain size and cortex thickness.
- The findings suggest that the decline in GABAergic interneurons due to high DEX exposure may contribute to emotional and behavioral deficits, pointing towards a potential link between glucocorticoid
Role of the LRP1-pPyk2-MMP9 pathway in hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal rats.

Objectives: To study the role of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1)-proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 phosphorylation (pPyk2)-matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP9) pathway in hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal rats.
Methods: A total of 16 neonatal rats were randomly placed in chambers containing room air (air group) or 95% medical oxygen (hyperoxia group) immediately after birth, with 8 rats in each group. All of the rats were sacrificed on day 8 of life.
Antibacterial Peptide HHC-36 Sustained-Release Coating Promotes Antibacterial Property of Percutaneous Implant.
Front Bioeng Biotechnol
September 2021
Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous implants are prone to infections, which is a significant issue in their clinical use.
- Titanium dioxide nanotubes can be used to create coatings on these implants, and the antimicrobial peptide HHC-36 shows strong antibacterial properties.
- The study developed a sustained-release system using PDLLA and PLGA coatings with HHC-36 on titanium surfaces, demonstrating effective drug release for 15 days while inhibiting bacterial growth and being biocompatible.
