Aim: Optimal lactate removal was reported to occur at work-rate between 30% and 70% VO2max. However, it has been recently recommended to quantify exercise intensity not in percentage of VO2max but in relation to validated metabolic reference points such as the individual anaerobic threshold (IAT) and the individual ventilatory threshold (IVT). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect on lactate removal of different recovery work-rates below the IAT defined calculating the difference (DT) between IAT and IVT, then choosing the IVT+50%DT, the IVT and the IVT-50%DT work-rates.
Methods: Eight male triathletes (VO2max 69.7+/-4.7, VO2IAT 52.9+/-4, VO2IVT 41.1+/-4.7 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)), after a 6-min treadmill run at 75% of difference between IAT and VO2max, performed in a random order the following 30-min recovery treatments: 1) run at IVT(plus;50%DT), 2) at IVT, 3) at IVT(-50%DT), 4) passive. Blood lactate was measured at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes of recovery.
Results: All active recovery work-rates (from 50+/-5% to 67+/-4% VO2max) were within the range previously reported for optimal lactate removal, and significantly more efficient than passive recovery on lactate removal curve (% of accumulated lactate above rest value). However, significant differences (P<0.01) were found among active recovery intensities: the IVT(-50%DT) was the most efficient work-rate from the 9th minute to 30th minute.
Conclusions: In triathletes, the IVT(-50%DT) was the optimal work-rate for lactate removal; moreover none of the studied active work-rate showed further lactate decrease after the 20th minute of recovery.

The Warburg effect, which describes the fermentation of glucose to lactate even in the presence of oxygen, is ubiquitous in proliferative mammalian cells, including cancer cells, but poses challenges for biopharmaceutical production as lactate accumulation inhibits cell growth and protein production. Previous efforts to eliminate lactate production in cells for bioprocessing have failed as lactate dehydrogenase is essential for cell growth. Here, we effectively eliminate lactate production in Chinese hamster ovary and in the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 by simultaneous knockout of lactate dehydrogenases and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases, thereby removing a negative feedback loop that typically inhibits pyruvate conversion to acetyl-CoA.

The present study aimed to evaluate the antibiofilm effect of combined sonication treatment with organic acids on polystyrene surfaces and to develop a predictive model for the inactivation of biofilms. Polystyrene plates containing biofilms were subjected to sonication using different inactivation solutions (PBS, lactic acid, and acetic acid) at varying temperatures (20 °C, 40 °C, and 50 °C) and durations (2 and 5 min). The effects of temperature, treatment duration, and inactivation solution on biofilm removal were statistically significant ( < 0.

: Sepsis, a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, remains a major challenge in ICUs. This study evaluated whether combining haemoadsorption therapy with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) reduces ICU and short-term mortality in patients with severe septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring CRRT. : A single-centre retrospective cohort study was conducted at Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, Israel, from January 2018 to February 2024.

Understanding the performance and microbial succession in nitrogen removal using fermentation liquid as carbon source can provide a practical basis for treating low C/N ratio wastewater. In this study, three typical fermentation liquids of food waste (FW) enriched with lactic acid (LA), propionic acid (PA), and butyric acid (BA) were added to high ammonia and high salt (HAHS) wastewater treatment process. Results showed that effluent TN decreased from 50 mg/L to around 15 mg/L with the influent concentration around 1000 mg/L after adding fermentation liquid enriched with LA and PA.

The scarcity of water resources and their pollution are vital to modern civilization. Thus, adsorptive membranes are promising candidates to be applied in the filtration systems to improve the water quality. In summary, this study investigated the effect of chitosan (CS) in the morphological, chemical, and physical aspects of PLA-based membranes incorporating chitosan obtained by electrospinning process, their adsorption behavior in multielement aqueous systems containing Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn , Ni, and Cd in pH 4, and the possible removal mechanism on the composite electrospun membrane's surface.
