[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the characteristics of preoperative physical activity and its impact on the postoperative period in patients who underwent surgery for esophageal cancer. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 30 patients who were diagnosed with esophageal cancer, underwent surgery, and fulfilled their conditions. Preoperative physical activity was measured using the step count, and metabolic equivalents as the amount of physical activity. We examined the relationships between preoperative step count and METs, patient demographics, treatment-related factors, preoperative physical function, and activities of daily living. Moreover, we examined the relationships of preoperative step count and METs with postoperative mobilization, physical activity, physical function, and activities of daily living. [Results] Preoperative step count was related to age, Glasgow prognostic score, and preoperative functional independence and associated with step count on postoperative days 7-13, METs on postoperative days 7-9, 6-min walking distance, and functional independence measures at discharge. [Conclusion] Improving the nutritional status and increasing preoperative physical activity by walking for esophageal cancer may help improve physical activity after postoperative day 7, exercise tolerance, and activities of daily after discharge.

Protective effects of different exercise modalities on oxidative stress in animal models of high intraocular pressure and diabetes.

Exp Eye Res

December 2024

Department of Biochemistry, Post-Graduate Program in Biochemistry and Post-Graduate Program in Pharmacology, Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Electronic address:

High intraocular pressure (HIOP) and high glucose levels are associated with oxidative stress. Although physical exercise protects against oxidative damage, its specific impact on eye health remains unclear. Thus, this study aimed to assess the impact of physical exercise on the oxidative status of whole eyes in male Swiss mice subjected to HIOP model and cafeteria diet (CD).

State Key Laboratory of Food Science and Technology, Collaborative Innovation Center of Food Safety and Quality Control in Jiangsu Province, School of Food Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, Jiangsu 214122, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:

This study investigated the effectiveness of cysteine in improving the functional properties of pea proteins within low-salt myofibrillar protein (MP) gels. Cysteine treatment, at a concentration of 3.3 mM/g protein, cleaved 71-82 % of the disulfide bonds in native and pH-shifted pea protein isolates (PPI and PPI), which increased the solubility and hydrophobicity of PPI.

Imperceptible noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) improves standing balance due to the presence of stochastic resonance (SR). There is, however, a lack of consensus regarding the optimal levels and type of noise used to elicit SR like dynamics. We aimed to confirm the presence of SR behavior in the vestibular system of young healthy adults by examining postural responses to increasing amplitudes of white and pink noise stimulation scaled to individual cutaneous perceptual threshold.

Objectives: This study aims to identify predictors of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) risk in middle-aged population, construct and validate a nomogram for KOA in this demographic.

Methods: From June to December 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional survey on 5,527 middle-aged individuals from Changsha and Zhangjiajie cities in Hunan Province, selected using a stratified multi-stage random sampling method. Data collection involved a structured questionnaire encompassing general demographic, physical condition, and lifestyle behaviors dimensions.
