Article Abstract
In order to assess prevalence and characteristics of exercise-related respiratory symptoms (ERRS) and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in industrial bakery, the authors performed a cross-sectional study including 57 bakers and an equal number of office workers studied as a control. Evaluation of examined subjects included completion of a questionnaire, skin prick tests to common inhalant and occupational allergens, spirometry, and exercise and histamine challenge. The authors found a similar prevalence of ERRS and EIB in both bakers and controls. EIB was significantly associated with atopy, asthma, family history of asthma, and positive histamine challenge in either group, whereas in bakers it was closely related to sensitization to occupational allergens (p = .032). Bronchial reaction to exercise was significantly higher in bakers with EIB (25.7% vs 19.2%; p = .021). These findings suggest that occupational exposure in industrial bakery may accentuate bronchoconstrictive response to exercise.

Postexercise downregulation of in regulating non-small cell lung cancer progression via the PTEN/AKT signaling pathway.
Transl Cancer Res
November 2024
School of Sports Science and Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai, China.
Background: Research interest into regulation of gene expression by physical activity and its effect on cancer prognosis has intensified. This study investigated the role of an exercise-related gene, , in the progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its potential as therapy target.
Methods: Using the GSE41914 dataset, which includes data related to exercise, and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-NSCLC dataset, we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and selected as a hub gene for further analysis.
A replicate crossover trial on the inter-individual variability of sleep indices in response to acute exercise undertaken by healthy men.

National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine, School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, United Kingdom.
Study Objectives: Using the necessary replicate-crossover design, we investigated whether there is inter-individual variability in home-assessed sleep in response to acute exercise.
Methods: Eighteen healthy men (mean(SD): 26(6) years) completed two identical control (8-h laboratory rest, 08:45-16:45) and two identical exercise (7-h laboratory rest; 1-h laboratory treadmill run [62(7)% peak oxygen uptake], 15:15-16:15) trials in randomised sequences. Wrist-worn actigraphy (MotionWatch 8) measured home-based sleep (total sleep time, actual wake time, sleep latency, sleep efficiency) two nights before (nights 1-2) and three nights after (nights 3-5) the exercise/control day.
The association of coronary artery disease with heart rate at anaerobic threshold and respiratory compensatory point.
Front Cardiovasc Med
October 2024
Department of Cardiology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.
Background: There is limited knowledge regarding the association between heart rate (HR) during different exercise phases and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between four exercise-related HR metrics detected by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and CAD. These metrics include HR at the anaerobic threshold (HR), HR at respiratory compensatory point (HR), maximal HR (HR), and HR 60 s post-exercise (HR).

Article Synopsis
- Pesticides, particularly chlorpyrifos, may negatively affect respiratory health and contribute to asthma symptoms among low-income, Black children in Baltimore City, with limited existing research on this issue.
- A study involving 148 children with asthma measured various pesticide biomarker concentrations in their urine over a year, linking higher levels of specific biomarkers to increased asthma-related symptoms and healthcare needs.
- Findings indicated that exposure to higher levels of chlorpyrifos (TCPY) was significantly associated with worsened asthma symptoms, including increased coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness, suggesting a potential harmful impact of these pesticides on pediatric respiratory health.
Investigation of Exercise Interventions on Postoperative Recovery in Lung Cancer Patients: A Qualitative Study Using Web Crawling Technology.
Patient Prefer Adherence
September 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, People's Republic of China.
Background: Rapid recovery after lung cancer surgery is challenging. Exercise is a low-cost, effective method to expedite recovery. Despite numerous exercise interventions, many fail to consider patient perspectives, leading to low adherence and short-term effects.
