AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study aimed to investigate how the reserve capacity of microcirculatory blood perfusion (MBP) changes in elite male rowers during the six weeks leading up to the Olympic Games and its connection to traditional performance indicators.
  • - Eight male lightweight rowers from the Chinese National Rowing Team provided blood samples regularly to test various indices such as hemoglobin and creatine kinase, while also measuring MBP with a specialized system, especially during high training loads and the final weeks before the games.
  • - The findings revealed significant relationships between MBP reserve capacity and traditional performance metrics, highlighting positive correlations with testosterone and negative correlations with blood urea, showing that MBP could be a sensitive, non-invasive method for monitoring athlete fatigue

Article Abstract

Objective: To study the change of reserve capacity of microcirculatory blood perfusion (MBP) and the relationship between some conventional function indices of elite male rowers in 6 weeks before the Olympic Games. The feasibility of the MBP using for athletes fu nctional status monitoring was also discussed.

Methods: Eight male lightweight rowers of Chinese National Rowing Team were selected as the subjects. Blood samples were taken every Monday morning before eating breakfast (6:30-7:00). The indices including hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cells (RBC),blood urea (BU) and creatine kinase (CK) were tested,while reserve capacity of MBP were collected with PeriFlux 5000 system on the same day. Meanwhile,the venous blood samples were collected and the levels of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) were deter-mined in the high load training week and last two weeks before the Olympic Games.

Results: All presented a certain relevance between the re-serve capacity of MBP and conventional function indices. There was significant positive correlation with T ( < 0.05), and it was correlated with Hb, C and T/C positively, negative correlation with CK, and they all did not have significant difference( > 0.05), but there was sig-nificant negative correlation with BU ( < 0.05).

Conclusions: There is a certain consistency between change of reserve capacity of MBP and the characteristic of conventional function indices. And reserve capacity of MBP is more sensitive in fatigue monitoring after intensity training. In a certain extent, reserve capacity of MBP as a non-invasive indices can be used for evaluating the functional state and judging the degree of fat igue.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to review existing evidence to evaluate the effects of physical cardiac rehabilitation on cardio-pulmonary outcomes in the patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The initial search led to 1222 citations after removing duplicate results.

Phenotypic plasticity in body growth enables organisms to cope with unpredictable paucities in resource availability. Growth traits influence survival and reproductive success, and thereby, population persistence, and early-life resource availability may govern lifetime patterns in growth, reproductive success, and survival. The influence of early-life environment is decidedly consequential for indeterminately growing ectotherms, which rely on available resources and ambient temperatures to maximize fitness throughout life.

The knowledge about the occurrence and biochemical characteristics of key digestive enzymes is crucial for an enhanced understanding of the dietary ecophysiology of the species. On the other hand, integrative studies on digestive physiology and on tissue content of glycogen, glucose, lipid and protein in groups of ecological and economic importance are currently limited. In this work, we determined the occurrence and biochemical characteristics in intestine of key digestive enzymes activities as indexes of the ability to digest different dietary substrates and of functional differentiation for digestion/absorption of nutrients along with the intestinal coefficient as index of dietary habit and digestion efficiency in adults of Odonthtestes argentinensis inhabiting Mar Chiquita Coastal Lagoon (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Long-term risks of gene therapy are not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated safety outcomes in 783 patients over more than 2,200 total patient-years of observation from 38 T cell therapy trials. The trials employed integrating gammaretroviral or lentiviral vectors to deliver engineered receptors to target HIV-1 infection or cancer.

The study was designed to investigate the pattern of intraventricular Hemo-Dynamic Forces (HDF) and myocardial performance during exercise in Elite Cyclists (EC). Transthoracic stress echocardiography was performed on nineteen EC and thirteen age-matched sedentary controls (SC) at three incremental exercise intensities based on Heart Rate Reserve (HRR). Left Ventricular (LV) HDF were computed from echocardiography long-axis data sets using a novel technique based on endocardial boundary tracking, both in apex-base and latero-septal directions.
