Dysregulated S-nitrosylation of proteins characterizes a broad array of human disorders, but its role in disease etiology is not well understood. Two new studies (Durham et al., 2008; Bellinger et al., 2008) now show that hyper-S-nitrosylation of the ryanodine receptor calcium release channel (RyR1) in skeletal muscle disrupts calcium ion flux. This disruption underlies the impaired contractility and cellular damage of skeletal muscle during strenuous exercise and in a spectrum of congenital muscle disorders including malignant hyperthermia.

Practical utilization of sonography for the assessment of muscle diseases in rheumatology.

Muscular manifestations are common complaints encountered in daily rheumatology practice. Magnetic resonance imaging and electromyography are employed to evaluate muscular manifestations associated with myositis and other rheumatologic diseases, but both have limitations that hinder their universal applicability. Ultrasound, on the other hand, has been increasingly used given its utility as a point-of-care tool.

Skeletal muscle is a crucial tissue involved in body movement and energy metabolism, and its growth and development directly influence the economic value of livestock. This study investigates the effects of the TEX10 gene on the proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of bovine myoblasts, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms. Using techniques such as CCK-8, EdU incorporation, qPCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence, we observed that TEX10 significantly promotes the expression of cell cycle factors, including CDK2 and PCNA, thereby increasing cell proliferation and the proportion of cells in the S phase.

Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang, 150001, China. Electronic address:
Background: Evidence of an association between sarcopenic obesity (SO) and the risk of long-term atrial fibrillation (AF) is lacking, and the underlying involvement of insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation is not clear.
Methods: This community-based prospective cohort study evaluated sarcopenia, obesity, and baseline clinical characteristics in 4321 non-diabetic older adults between 2007 and 2011. Sarcopenia was identified using skeletal muscle mass/body weight (SMM/BW), appendicular lean mass (ALM)/BW, and handgrip strength (HGS), and obesity was identified by fat mass (FM)/BW.
Inhibiting EZH2 complements steroid effects in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating X-linked disorder caused by dystrophin gene mutations. Despite recent advances in understanding the disease etiology and applying emerging treatment methodologies, glucocorticoid derivatives remain the only general therapeutic option that can slow disease development. However, the precise molecular mechanism of glucocorticoid action remains unclear, and there is still need for additional remedies to complement the treatment.

Objective: To examine the effects of diaphragm breathing relaxation training and cognitive-behavioral therapy on sleep quality in the elderly.
Methods: In this three-arm randomized clinical trial, 99 older patients with a primary diagnosis of insomnia were randomly divided into two intervention groups (n = 33) and a control group (n = 33). The study design was a parallel group trial with an allocation ratio of 1:1.
