Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a commonly used additive in plastic products, so it may potentially coexist with microplastics (MPs) in marine environment. The ingestion of MPs might affect the accumulation of DBP in marine organisms. In this study, the marine copepod Tigriopus japonicus was applied to study the combined effect of DBP and polystyrene microplastics (mPS) on the copepod through both acute mortality tests and chronic reproduction tests. The LC of DBP was 1.23 mg L (95% CI: 1.11-1.35 mg L), while exposure to mPS didn't have significant lethal effect on the copepods. Adsorption to MPs led to decreased bioavailability of DBP, resulting in decreased toxicity of DBP. In contrast to the results of acute toxicity tests, DBP didn't affect the reproduction of the copepods at lower exposure concentrations, while mPS reduced the number of nauplii and extended the time to hatch. Similar as acute toxicity tests, antagonistic interaction was observed for mPS and DBP in chronic reproduction tests, which might be attributed to promoted aggregation of mPS at presence of DBP. Overall, antagonistic toxicity effect between the two pollutants was observed for both acute and chronic tests, but the mechanisms of the interaction between DBP and mPS were different. Results of the present study highlighted the importance of long-term exposure when evaluating the toxic effect of MPs and their combined effect with other chemicals.

A novel exercise protocol for cardiac rehabilitation aerobic (CRA) has been developed by Hebei Sport University, demonstrating efficacy in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of CRA on precise cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for CHD patients presenting with stable angina pectoris. The study cohort comprised patients with stable angina who were categorized into three groups: the CRA group (n = 35), the power bicycles (PB) group (n = 34), and the control group (n = 43).

This study assessed the therapeutic effectiveness of a single-pill combination (SPC) of olmesartan/amlodipine plus rosuvastatin for blood pressure (BP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia. Adult patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia who were decided to be treated with the study drug were eligible. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved BP, LDL-C and both BP and LDL-C treatment goals at weeks 24-48.

In this research, we explored the relationship between the AIP and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing PCI. A total of 2533 consecutive patients who underwent PCI were included in this retrospective cohort study, and the data from 2098 patients were used. AIP is calculated based on the log (triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol).

This study analyzed the acute and time-course changes following one resistance training (RT) set (1SET) and three sets (3SET) on hemodynamic and physical performance parameters in individuals with different cognitive impairment levels. Thirty-nine individuals (22 women and 17 men aged 80 ± 9 years) grouped by cognitive impairment (mild [MILD], moderate [MOD], and severe [SEV]) randomly performed two protocols, each separated by one week, of 1SET or 3SET of 10 repetitions. Before (PRE), immediately (POST), and 72 h after (POST72) protocols, the participants performed the following measurements: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), 1-kg medicine ball throw (MBT) distance, five-repetition sit-to-stand (STS) time, and handgrip strength (HGS).
