It was found out that thymus accumulated 3H-testosterone from blood at the same degree as liver, prostate and skeletal muscle. However, hormone was quickly eliminated from the thymus and prostate accumulated it. Thymocytes bound about 5% of testosterone accumulated by the organ. The dependence of binding of 3H-testosterone by thymocytes in vitro and the absence of competition between labelled and unlabelled forms of hormone were revealed. The results obtained make it possible to conclude that thymocytes lack the systems of specific binding of androgen.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a cornerstone of heart disease (HD) management, enhancing functional capacity and quality of life. Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (hCR), combining supervised center-based sessions with synchronous, real-time telerehabilitation at home, offers an alternative to conventional CR to overcome logistical barriers such as facility limitations, distance, and pandemic-related disruptions. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the noninferiority of hCR compared to standard CR in improving functional capacity in patients with chronic heart disease, including those with stable coronary artery disease.

: several adverse effects of ozone (O) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) are assessed using combined oxidant capacity (O) and redox-weighted oxidant capacity (Owtx) as surrogates. However, the associations of oxidant capacity (O and Owtx) with platelet-based inflammatory indicators and the potential modifying role of physical activity (PA) remain unclear. : 31 318 participants were selected from the baseline survey of the Henan Rural Cohort Study.

Na superionic conductor (NASICON)-structure NaMnV(PO) (NVMP) electrode materials reveal highly attractive application prospects due to ultrahigh energy density originating from two-electron reactions. Nevertheless, NVMP also encounters challenges with its poor electronic conductivity, Mn dissolution, and Jahn-Teller distortion. To address this issue, utilizing N-doped carbon layers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for dual encapsulation enhances the material's electronic conductivity, creating an effective electron transport network that promotes the rapid diffusion and storage of Na.

Point of Care (POC) diagnosis provides an effective approach for controlling and managing Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Electrochemical biosensors are well-suited for molecular diagnostics due to their high sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration into POC devices. Schistosomiasis is a prominent NTD highly prevalent in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, with significant socioeconomic implications such as discrimination, reduced work capacity, or mortality, perpetuating the cycle of poverty in affected regions worldwide.
