Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of adding endurance training (ET) and resistance training (RT) to standard medical treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), while also assessing improvements based on varying disease severities.
  • It involved a multicenter, randomized clinical trial with 366 patients divided into three groups: standard medical treatment only, medical treatment plus ET, and medical treatment plus RT, with all participants undergoing exercise three times a week for 12 weeks.
  • Results showed no significant differences in health-related quality of life and exercise capacity among the different training groups both immediately after the intervention and during the follow-ups, although a minor benefit was observed in traditional medical treatment.

Circular RNA (circRNA), a closed continuous loop formed by back-splicing, has been confirmed to be implicated in a variety of human diseases including cancers. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of circRNA regulating the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains largely unclear. In the present study, we identified a novel circular RNA, circESRP1, that derived from the ESRP1 gene locus at 8q22.

Hypoxic tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are related to poor prognosis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Exosomes are small lipid-bilayer vesicles that implicated in tumor progression and metastasis. However, whether hypoxic TAM-derived exosomes affect RCC progression within the hypoxic tumor microenvironment has not been elucidated.
