Aim: To study circadian regulation of heart rhythm during the pre-symptomatic (PS) and early symptomatic (ESS) stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) and determine the functionally most unfavorable periods during which there is a risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.

Material And Methods: The studies were performed on C57BL/6 mice. ECG monitoring was performed in online mode using a wireless telemetry system (ADInstruments Australia).

Results: Characteristics of circadian changes heart rate during PS and ESS of PD were detected. During PS changes in the autonomic regulation of the heart occur at night. The increase at this time of the parasympathetic tone indicates compensatory mechanisms that prevent changes in the total power spectrum. However, they can't prevent the high risk of life-threatening arrhythmias. The early symptomatic stage leads to the changes in mechanisms of not only sympathetic, but also parasympathetic regulation of the heart, increase in sympathetic tone and disturbed structure of the heart rhythm over most of the day. The decrease in the total power of the spectrum indicates a decrease in the adaptive capacity of the cardiovascular system. The increase in the intervals of QT, QTc and Tpeak Tend, indicates a risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.

Conclusion: PD predetermines complications of circadian autonomic regulation of the heart during PS and ESS, which can become the pathogenetic basis for severe cerebrocardial disorders.

HFpEF is a prevalent and complex type of heart failure. The concurrent presence of conditions such as obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia significantly increase the risk of developing HFpEF. Mitochondria, often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell, are crucial in maintaining cellular functions, including ATP production, intracellular Ca regulation, reactive oxygen species generation and clearance, and the regulation of apoptosis.

Ophiopogonis japonicus is a famous medicinal plant in China with a long history of medicinal and food origin. It contains various chemical components, such as polysaccharides, steroidal saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, etc. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, it has the efficacy of moistening the lungs and nourishing the yin, benefiting the stomach by generating fluids, and clearing the heart to get rid of vexation.

Background: Increased emotional reactivity to stress, emotional dysregulation and sleep disturbances are interdependent trans-diagnostic processes that are present in internalising disorders such as depression and anxiety disorders. This study investigated which objective and subjective parameters of stress reactivity, sleep and emotional processing would predict symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults.

Methods: Participants were adolescents and young adults between the ages of 14 to 21 (N = 106, 25[24 %] male, M age = 17.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury refers to cell damage that occurs as a consequence of the restoration of blood circulation following reperfusion therapy for cardiovascular diseases, and it is a primary cause of myocardial infarction. The search for nove therapeutic targets in the context of I/R injury is currently a highly active area of research. p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K1) plays an important role in I/R induced necrosis, although the specific mechanisms remain unclear.
