Effects of high-intensity interval training on lean mass, strength, and power of the lower limbs in healthy old and young people

Introduction: Whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve lean mass, strength, and power of the lower limbs in young and older people is still under discussion. This study aimed to determine the effect of HIIT on lean mass, maximal strength, rate of force development (RFD), and muscle power of both lower limbs in healthy young and older adults. Secondarily, to compare the effects of HIIT between dominant vs. non-dominant lower limbs of each group. Materials and methods: Healthy older (n = 9; 66 ± 6 years; BMI 27.1 ± 3.1 kg m−2) and young (n = 9; 21 ± 1 years; BMI 26.2 ± 2.8 kg m−2) men underwent 12 weeks of HIIT (3x/week) on a stationary bicycle. The evaluations were made before and after the HIIT program by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), anthropometry, force transducer and, Sit-to-Stand test. The outcomes analyzed were limb lean mass, thigh circumference, maximal voluntary isometric strength, RFD (Time intervals: 0–50, 50–100, 100–200, and 0–200 ms), and muscle power in both lower limbs. Results: After 12 weeks of HIIT, non-dominant limb (NDL) showed increase in limb lean mass (p < 0.05) but without interaction (time*group). HIIT showed a gain in absolute maximal strength and also when adjusted for thigh circumference in the dominant lower limb (DL) in both groups. The RFD0–200 ms showed differences between groups but without interaction. The RFD0–50 ms of the NDL showed post-training improvements (p < 0.05) in both groups. Only the older group showed differences between DL vs. NDL in most of the RFD obtained post-intervention. In addition, post-HIIT muscle power gain was observed in both groups (p < 0.05), but mainly in older adults. Conclusion: HIIT promotes increases in lean mass, maximal strength, early RFD, and lower limb muscle power in healthy older and young individuals. The differences shown between the DL and the NDL must be analyzed in future studies.
Effects of high-intensity interval training program on pituartry function in basketball players: a randomized controlled trial

The aim of the study was to determine how the short high-interval training program affects cortisol levels in basketball players. A total of 27 male basketball players volunteered for the study and were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Control Group (CG) (n = 13, mean age; 20,56 ± 1,45 years, mean height; 184,53 ± 6,65 cm) and Experimental Group (EG) (n = 14, mean age; 20,71 ± 2,12 years, mean height; 86,51 ± 8,21 cm). The experimental group received a 7-week interval training program. Blood samples were taken at the beginning and end of the study. Cortisol, Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, Triiodothyronine, Tetraiodothyronine, Parathyroid Hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Insulin, and Glucose levels were measured of the EG and CG. To test the differences between groups and compare the effects of pre and post-intervention, a two-way ANOVA for repeated measures was used. Consequently, the post-test levels of TSH, PTH, and ACTH in the exercise group showed a significant difference when compared to the pre-test values (p = 0.000). Moreover, the post-test levels of Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, HDL, and Mg in the exercise group showed statistical significance when compared to the pre-test values (p = 0.000). Significant differences were seen in the post-test PTH and ACTH levels of the control group when compared to the pre-test values (p = 0.000). Furthermore, the exercise group showed significant differences in post-test values for HDL and Cholesterol compared to the pre-test (p = 0.000). In addition, when comparing the post-test values and pre-test values of both the exercise group and the control group, it was found that all parameters, with the exception of Ca, exhibited substantial differences in favor of the exercise group. It may be claimed that the implementation of interval training has favorable outcomes on pituitary function parameters. Additionally, the regulation of energy consumption during exercise is favourably influenced, along with the reduction of physiological stress resulting from prolonged exercise.

Geographic analysis of earthquake damage in Turkey between 1900 and 2012

ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between fatality and magnitude, energy released, time of earthquake occurrence and building damage, and between building damage and magnitude and energy of earthquakes that occurred in Turkey between 1900 and 2012. Patterns of earthquake occurrence and damage are examined across space and time. Ninety-one per cent and eighty-three per cent of the variation in fatality and building damage are accounted for by the energy released from an earthquake, respectively. Building damage explains 85% of the variation in fatality. Seventy-six per cent of the total death toll is a result of the earthquakes that happened between midnight and 5:22 am. There were two significant clusters of earthquakes in Western Turkey between 1955 and 1965 and between 1969 and 1971. Provinces of Erzincan and Kocaeli emerge as hot spots of fatality and building damage. The location of major earthquakes over 112 years tends to parallel the tectonically active areas of Turkey such as the North and East Anatolian Faults and Western Turkey towards the Aegean Sea. Central, central south, extreme north-western, north-eastern and south-eastern Turkey appears to be void of major earthquakes.
Prevalence and factors associated with the intention to use contraception among women of reproductive age who are not already using a contraceptive method in Liberia: findings from a secondary analysis of the 2019–2020 Liberia Demographic Health Survey

Objective Contraception constitutes a vital aspect of sexual and reproductive healthcare. However, the high prevalence of non-use has become a great public health concern globally. This study examined the intention to use contraceptives and its associated factors among women of reproductive age who were not using any method in Liberia. Design and setting A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted. We used data from the 2019–2020 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey. The research framework used the theory of planned behaviour to identify the factors that influence women’s intention to use contraception. Participants The study analysed a weighted sample of 4504 women aged 15–49 who were not currently using any form of contraception. Data analysis The outcome variable was the intention to use a contraceptive method. A binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the intention to use contraceptives in Stata V.13. 0. Results Of the 4504 women, 39.42% intended to use contraception. Contraception intention was significantly lower in married women than in never married women (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.78; 95% CI 0.62 to 0.98). Additionally, women aged 25–34 (aOR 0.434; 95% CI 0.339 to 0.556) and 35–49 (aOR 0.120; 95% CI 0.088 to 0.163) had a reduced intent to use contraceptives than those aged 15–24. However, women with at least one child, those with prior contraception experience and those who had their first sexual encounter at the age of 13 or older were more likely to intend to use contraception. Notably, Muslim and wealthy women displayed a lower likelihood of intending to use contraception. Conclusion These findings highlight that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control significantly influence women’s intentions to use contraception. Understanding and addressing these factors are crucial for promoting effective contraceptive use among women, facilitating informed reproductive choices.

When expressed in CHO cells, the recombinant HIV envelope protein, gp120, undergoes proteolytic clipping by a serine protease at a key epitope recognized by neutralizing antibodies. The problem is particularly acute for envelope proteins from clade B viruses that represent the major genetic subtype circulating in much of the developed world, including the US and Europe. In this paper, we have identified complement Component 1 s (C1s), a serine protease from the complement cascade, as the protease responsible for the proteolysis of gp120 in CHO cells. CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of the C1s protease in a CHO cell line was shown to eliminate the proteolytic activity against the recombinantly expressed gp120. In addition, the C1sMGAT1 CHO cell line, with the C1s protease and the MGAT1 glycosyltransferase knocked out, enabled the production of unclipped gp120 from a clade B isolate (BaL‐rgp120) and enriched for mannose‐5 glycans on gp120 that are required for the binding of multiple broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (bN‐mAbs). The availability of this technology will allow for the scale‐up and testing of multiple vaccine concepts in regions of the world where clade B viruses are in circulation. Furthermore, the proteolysis issues caused by the C1s protease suggests a broader need for a C1s‐deficient CHO cell line to express other recombinant proteins that are susceptible to serine protease activity in CHO cells. Similarly, the workflow described here to identify and knockout C1s in a CHO cell line can be applied to remedy the proteolysis of biologics by other CHO proteases.

Deconstruction of low loadings of lignocellulose (5 g/L), either natural or transgenic, whether unpretreated or subjected to hydrothermal processing, by C. bescii typically results in less than 40% carbohydrate solubilization. Mild alkali pretreatment (up to 0.09 g NaOH/g biomass) improved switchgrass carbohydrate solubilization by C. bescii to over 70% compared to less than 30% for no pretreatment, with two‐thirds of the carbohydrate content in the treated switchgrass converted to acetate and lactate. C. bescii grown on high loadings of unpretreated switchgrass (50 g/L) retained in a pH‐controlled bioreactor slowly purged (τ=80hr) with growth media without a carbon source improved carbohydrate solubilization to over 40% compared to batch culture at 29%. But more significant was the doubling of solubilized carbohydrate conversion to fermentation products, which increased from 40% in batch to over 80% in the purged system, an improvement attributed to maintaining the bioreactor culture in a metabolically active state. This strategy should be considered for optimizing solubilization and conversion of lignocellulose by C. bescii and other lignocellulolytic microorganisms.
Interpretation of oscillatory water levels in observation wells during aquifer tests in fractured rock

Oscillatory water levels in observation wells have commonly been recorded at the beginning of aquifer tests in highly transmissive fractured formations. In this paper, oscillatory water levels are predicted by the equations coupling the fluid movement in the observation well and the fluid movement in the surrounding formation. The equivalent-porous medium and dual-porosity models of fractured rock are two models considered in this analysis; however, other conceptual models of fractured media can also be coupled with the model presented here for fluid movement in the observation well. Type curves for the response of water levels in observation wells due to pumping in another well are generated by numerical inversion of the Laplace transform solution to the governing equations. Overdamped conditions, where inertial effects are insignificant, and underdamped conditions, where oscillations arise, are predicted by the solution to the governing equations. By matching water level measurements with the appropriate type curve, a conceptual model of the formation can be identified, and aquifer properties can be estimated. This analysis is applied in the interpretation of an aquifer test conducted in a fractured dolomite in northeastern Illinois. If the early time oscillations are ignored, the measured water levels can be explained by an equivalent-porous medium model. By analyzing the early time oscillations, however, the formation is shown to respond as a dual-porosity medium with a storativity of the fracture porosity that is an order of magnitude smaller than the storativity estimated from the equivalent-porous medium model.
Herbal galactogogue supplementation on average zinc and iron levels in breast milk

The problem often encountered concerning failed exclusive breastfeeding is the insight of the mothers into little or less milk production, causing fear of being incapable to satisfy the baby’s needs. The quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. There was a control group and two intervention groups. The intervention group was given moringa leaf extract and banana flower extract for 14 days. Mother’s milk was examined with atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) at Labkesda (regional health laboratory) Jambi Province, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using 1-way- ANOVA. The zinc levels variable in breast milk obtained a p-value of 0.160, indicating that the zinc level in mother’s milk between the control group, moringa leaf extract, and banana flower extract did not show any meaningful difference. The iron levels variable in breast milk obtained a p-value of 0.497, indicating that the Fe levels of mother’s milk in the control group, moringa leaf extract, and banana flower extract did not show considerable distinctions. As a result, zinc and iron levels in the mother’s milk showed no prominent differentiation in the control, moringa leaf extract, as well as banana flower extract groups.

Study on the Relationship between Ecological Environmental Pollution and Red Tide Occurring in Sishili Bay,Yantai

The Gulf region of Yantai Sishiliwan bay is a frequent occurrence of red tide.This paper studied the relationship between regional distribution of red tide occurrence and ecological environmental pollution,in order to arouse the concerned parties to confront the impact of aquaculture on marine environment and evaluate the aquaculture pollution correctly.The results showed that:(1) From 1998 to 2008,shellfish aquaculture waste occupies the largest percentage of various types of pollutants discharged into the Sishili Bay.The occurrence probability and the scope of red tide have a direct causal relationship with shellfish farming area and the inter-annual change of N,P,C excreta. (2) The primary productivity within Sishili Bay is high.The inorganic carbon coming from shellfish farming waste accounted for 65-90% of the total based material in the bay. (3) There are 16 kinds of red tide organisms in the bay,in which the domination species are ymnodinium sanguineum,Skeletonema costatum and Thalassiosira Cleve.ymnodinium sanguineum is the most common specie leading to the red tide. (4) The maximum flow of Sishili Bay occurred in the northeast watershed outside Yangmadao with a velocity value of 17 ～ 20cm /s or so,while the minimum flow rate occurred at the south end of Yangmadao,which was only about 4 ～ 5cm /s.The velocity value of culture zone was slowed down by the interference of water works and raft culture,which is not conducive to pollutant dispersion.Our findings suggest that,a particular geographical environment and material conditions is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of algae.Once the appropriate hydrological and meteorological conditions encountered,the red tide will bloom because of the sudden rapid proliferation of algae.

Received Oct 7, 2021 Revised May 18, 2022 Accepted Jun 21, 2022 During the COVID-19 pandemic, universities in Malaysia implemented online learning. This long-time remote learning is very challenging to some university students. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of psychological well-being on depression, anxiety, and stress of university students on online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The quantitative data were collected from 325 students from a university in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. The survey was conducted online through Google Forms. Two instruments used were Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the psychological well-being scale (PWBS-8). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential methods. The study found that 34.9% of the students were depressed, 60.9% anxious, and 32% stressed. The study found that 23% of the variability in psychological well-being (PWB) affected university students’ depression, anxiety, and stress. This finding demonstrates the magnitude of burden that university students now bear during online learning. Therefore, higher education institutions can play a fundamental role in assisting students to cope with their depression, anxiety, and stress. Authorities should also prioritize determining appropriate student facilities and resources. Structured programmes for distress reduction and blended learning are suggested for use in teaching and learning.

Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of foxtail millet blast using microsatellites

Foxtail millet blast caused by Magnaporthe grisea is becoming a severe problem in foxtail millet growing regions of India. The genetic diversity and population structure of foxtail millet infecting M. grisea is crucial for developing effective management strategies, such as breeding blast-resistant cultivars. We analyzed thirty-two M. grisea isolates from ten foxtail millet-growing districts in Tamil Nadu, India for genetic diversity using twenty-nine microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 103 alleles were identified with a mean of 3.55 alleles/locus. Gene diversity ranged from 0.170 to 0.717, while major allelic frequencies ranged from 0.344 to 0.906. The polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.155 to 0.680, with a mean value of 0.465. Population structure analysis of the genomic data sets revealed two major populations (SP1 and SP2) with different levels of ancestral admixture among the 32 blast isolates. Phylogenetic analysis classified the isolates into three major clusters. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed high genetic variation among individuals and less among populations. Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) revealed 27.16% genetic variation among populations. The present study provides the first report on the genetic diversity and population structure of the foxtail millet-infecting M. grisea population in Tamil Nadu, which could be useful for the development of blast-resistant foxtail millet cultivars.
