AI Article Synopsis
- * Six randomized controlled trials were analyzed, revealing that supervised exercise significantly improved exercise tolerance (VO peak) and quality of life, but did not enhance kidney function (measured by eGFR).
- * The authors concluded that while exercise training benefits kidney transplant recipients in terms of exercise tolerability and overall quality of life, further research is necessary to evaluate patient survival rates and potential exercise-related harm.
Article Abstract
Background: The effectiveness of exercise in kidney transplant recipients is not well established. We, therefore, performed a systematic review of the effects of exercise training in kidney transplantation recipients.
Methods: We searched two electronic databases for articles up to April 2017. Inclusion criteria were as follows: randomized controlled trial and kidney transplant recipients aged 18 years or older. The main outcomes were allograft function (estimated glomerular filtration rate, eGFR), exercise tolerance (VO peak), and quality of life (QOL).
Results: After screening of 1303 references in PubMed and Ichushi, six randomized control trials were analyzed. For kidney transplant recipients, supervised exercise training was shown to significantly improve VO peak [mean difference 2.42; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 0.22-4.63] and QOL (mean difference 7.23; 95%CI 0.94-13.52). However, exercise training did not improve allograft kidney function (mean difference 6.22; 95%CI - 13.00 to 25.44). No reporting bias was observed in any of the outcomes. There were no reports including patient survival rates and the harm associated with exercise training.
Conclusions: Exercise training for kidney transplant recipients significantly improved exercise tolerability and QOL, but a significant improvement was not obtained with respect to allograft kidney function. Evaluation of patient survival rates and the harm associated with exercise training has not been reported, therefore, future studies are needed to resolve these issues.

Background: Tacrolimus, a topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI) with immunomodulatory effects, is considered a viable treatment option for vitiligo. A consensus building exercise was undertaken to determine the role and clinical utility of topical tacrolimus in the management of vitiligo using input from experts in the field of dermatology.
Methods: Seventeen experts collaborated to create consensus statements using a modified Delphi methodology.

Objective: Glucose metabolism is the main way in which cells obtain energy during exercise and plays an important role in exercise. The purpose of this study was to explore the changes in the expression of glucose metabolism-related proteins in urine after running, and finally applied to the monitoring of running training.
Methods: Urine samples were collected before and after running, and urine proteomics information was collected to explore the expression of proteins in the urine using LC-MS/MS in DDA mode and DIA mode.

Introduction: In Thailand, the assessment of vitamin D status by measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] levels in individuals at risk for osteoporosis is constrained by limited facilities and high costs. This study aimed to create a clinical model for predicting vitamin D deficiency in women with osteoporosis or risk factors for osteoporosis.
