Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of Pranayama exercises on breath-holding capacity soccer players. Method: A total of thirty male soccer players (age 18 – 25 year) were selected from Manipur University, Canchipur, Imphal, Manipur (India) who participated in the national level competition. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups, experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). The groups were measured before the intervention with the breath holding capacity. Breath holding capacity was assessed by Nostril clip method. The Pranayama exercises were carried out for the period of six weeks, five days training (Monday to Friday) and 60 minutes each session to the training group where no special exercise was administered to the control group. The pre and post-test scores were statistically examined by the Analysis of pair ‘t’ test and Co-Variance(ANCOVA) for selected variables. Results: The experimental group showed improved scores in the breath holding capacity compared to the control group (p<0.05). The mean and standard deviation of the breath holding capacity for pre-test and post-test of the experimental group were 33.22±10.22 and 46.46±9.49 respectively. The mean and standard deviation of the breath holding capacity for pre-test and post-test of the control group were 33.17±11.64 and 33.09±11.33 respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that the pranayama training group had shown significantly improved breath-holding capacity and the control group had insignificant improvement.

Debido a la revolución digital, los medios de comunicación tienen una gran presencia en la vida de las personas. De ahí que se vive una imperante cultura mediática en donde la información es incesante y cambiante. Esto genera la necesidad de desarrollar una literacidad mediática que se enseñe como parte de una competencia mediática en las aulas peruanas. Esta se presentaría con mayor complejidad y precisión dentro del Currículo Nacional de Educación Básica del Perú en vista de cumplir con el ideal de la sociedad del conocimiento. Por ello, el presente trabajo tuvo como propósito realizar una revisión teórica y un análisis de la literacidad mediática y su concreción como competencia mediática en el currículo. A partir de ello, se concluye que algunos aspectos de la competencia mediática están presentes en diversas áreas curriculares (Arte y cultura, Comunicación, Ciencias sociales y Desarrollo Personal Ciudadanía y Cívica) además de la competencia transversal 28. Sin embargo, estos aspectos no se plantean exclusiva ni sistemáticamente como lo propone Ferrés a través de seis dimensiones. Es por ello que se propone que se incluya dicha competencia dentro del área de comunicación considerando las características y necesidades del sistema educativo peruano para la elaboración de sus respectivas capacidades y desempeños.
Újdonságok a gyermekkori hypertoniában
Authors: Reusz György , Gál Krisztina , Kis Éva , Szabó László
Published: November 2022

A gyermekkori hypertonia korábban ritka megbetegedésnek számított, elsősorban renalis, renovascularis okok miatt alakult ki. Az utóbbi 10–15 évben a túlsúly gyermekkori elterjedésével az ehhez kapcsolódó metabolikus eltérések és az emelkedett vérnyomás is lényegesen gyakoribbá váltak. Ez a tény kiemeli a magas vérnyomás népegészségügyi jelentőségét, egyúttal a kivizsgálási algoritmust is meghatározza, mely korcsoportonként eltérő. Gyermekkorban a vérnyomás normálértékének megállapítása során a gyermek fejlettségét kell alapul venni. A magas vérnyomás definíciója mellett a méréstechnikai sajátosságokat is ismerni kell. Serdülőkor előtt a hypertonia hátterében nagy valószínűséggel organikus ok áll. Pu­ber­tás-posztpubertás idején a hypertonia el­sősorban az obesitashoz kapcsolható. A vizsgálatok és ezek kiértékelése gyermekek vizsgálatában járatos centrumban történjenek, ahol a kapott eredmények gyermekkori normálértékeit ismerik. A terápia során célunk a hypertonia szervkárosító hatásainak kivédése olyan populációban, ahol a betegség előreláthatólag több évtizeden keresztül fennáll. A nélkülözhetetlen, de az adott betegre szabott, reális célokat megfogalmazó életmódbeli változtatások mellett szükség lehet gyógyszeres kezelés bevezetésére is. A gyógy­szeres kezelést monoterápiában, a legkisebb szükséges dózis beállításával kezdjük. Amennyiben így nem sikerül megfelelő te­rápiás hatást elérni, a kezelést más támadásponton ható gyógyszer hozzáadásával egészítjük ki.

A renin-angiotenzin-aldoszteron rendszernek kiemelt jelentősége van a szervezet homeosztázisának a fenntartásában, ugyan­akkor kóros túlműködésének jelentős szerepe van a hypertonia és a hypertoniás szervkárosodások, valamint a szívelégtelenség kialakulásában. A renin-angiotenzin-aldoszteron rendszer megfelelő egyensúlyának fenntartásában, szabályozásában egy karboxipeptidáz enzimnek, az ACE2-nek van központi szerepe. Emellett a sejtmembránhoz kötött ACE2 a SARS-CoV-2 vírus receptora is, a vírus sejtekbe történő bejutását teszi lehetővé, kialakítva a Co­vid-19 betegséget, mely világméretű járványt okozott az elmúlt években. Az ACE2 fehérjét ez alapján jogosan nevezhetjük Janus-arcú fehérjének. Az ACE2-nek a RAAS szabályozásában betöltött funkcióját gyógyszeresen kihasználva az angiotenzinreceptor-blokkolók, így például az olmesartan segítségével hatékony vérnyomás­csök­kenést és cardiovascularis védelmet tu­dunk biztosítani.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Culture and Convergence, Kwak Jeongmi
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this paper is to find the meaning contained in Her Woman by analyzing the narcissistic homosexuality that has been converted into identification beyond the general homosexual tendency through the psychoanalytic aspect of the work-oriented criticism. Seo Young-eun has asked several irrational questions about the marriage system that presupposes the heterosexual incest ban in several works. Homosexuality can be said to be a part of secondary narcissism, in which the libido is directed toward the inner self rather than the external person. In “Her Woman,” homosexuality is a device that makes people frustrated by “challenging taboos” or makes extreme choices, and is just a clever trick to cover up narcissism. She thinks that she is the most beautiful in the most painful moment and freezes that beautiful moment. We need to pay attention to this novel in that it goes beyond the conventional wisdom of homosexuality.

Objectives: The available infiltration resin has raised biosafety and treatment stability concerns because of the cytotoxicity of the main component, TEGDMA, and its susceptibility to hydrolysis in the oral environment. This study aimed to develop a TEGDMA-free infiltration resin to overcome these drawbacks.

Methods: Using the synthetic bioderived monomer bis(methacrylate) isosorbide (IBM) and the zwitterionic compound 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), a novel infiltrant IBMA was developed and preferentially selected. We investigated the performance of the IBMA resin regarding cytotoxicity, antibiofilm adhesion, and hydrolysis resistance and further verified its ability to restore the demineralized enamel and stability of the infiltrated area under artificial aging conditions.

Results: Compared with the commercial TEGDMA-based infiltration resin ICON, IBMA not only demonstrated similar enamel morphologic and esthetic restorative effects in chalky lesions but also exhibited favorable cell viability, durable Streptococcus mutans UA159 biofilm-repellent performance, and higher enamel microhardness (204.0 ± 5.12 HV) of the infiltrated enamel. Specifically, because of the high crosslink density [(47.77 ± 5.76) ×103 mol/mm3] and low water sorption [12.79 ± 2.56 µg/mm3] of the polymer network, the IBMA resin was more resistant to hydrolysis than ICON, which prevents the disruption of the infiltrant’s micropore-blocking effect after aging. Enamel lesions treated with IBMA demonstrated good color stability after the tea-staining challenge, which was significantly better than that in the ICON group.

Conclusion: Based on these findings, the IBMA resin exhibits favorable cell viability, hydrolysis resistance, and biofilm-repellent properties, which alleviates the defects of traditional TEGDMA systems. Therefore, it is a better alternative for microinvasive treatment involving early caries and enamel whitish discoloration.

Insufficient oxygen supply at the tumor site and hypoxia caused during tumor treatment lead to a poor therapeutic effect and poor prognosis. Therefore, effectively overcoming the problem of hypoxia in tumors and avoiding hypoxia that compromises the efficacy of the treatment could improve the anti-tumor therapeutic effect. Thus, this study reports the ability of W18O49@EP nanoparticles to release reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the combined tumor radiotherapy (RT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The release of ROS by the nanoparticles during near infrared light (NIR) irradiation was demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments, realizing an effective PDT without inducing hypoxia. Indeed, the ROS did not derive from the oxygen in the tumor microenvironment but they were released by the nanoparticles. Thus, ROS could improve the therapeutic effect of RT avoiding the problem of hypoxia after RT. Hence, W18O49@EP nanoparticles greatly improved the anti-tumor effect due to their effectiveness despite the insufficient oxygen supply and hypoxia caused by traditional RT and PDT.

Circadian rhythms are biological adaptations to the day-night cycle, whereby cells adapt to changes in the external environment or internal physiology according to the time of day. Whilst many cellular clock mechanisms involve gene expression feedback mechanisms, clocks operate even where gene expression is absent. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) do not have capacity for gene expression, and instead possess an electrophysiological oscillator where cytosolic potassium plays a key role in timekeeping. We examined murine blood under normal conditions as well as in two perturbed states, malaria infection and induced anemia, to assess changes in baseline cellular electrophysiology and its implications for the electrophysiological oscillator. Blood samples were analyzed at 4-h intervals over 2 days by dielectrophoresis, and microscopic determination of parasitemia. We found that cytoplasmic conductivity (indicating the concentration of free ions in the cytoplasm and related to the membrane potential) exhibited circadian rhythmic behavior in all three cases (control, malaria and anemia). Compared to control samples, cytoplasm conductivity was decreased in the anemia group, whilst malaria-infected samples were in antiphase to control. Furthermore, we identified rhythmic behavior in membrane capacitance of malaria infected cells that was not replicated in the other samples. Finally, we reveal the historically famous rhythmicity of malaria parasite replication is in phase with cytoplasm conductivity. Our findings suggest the electrophysiological oscillator can impact on malaria parasite replication and/or is vulnerable to perturbation by rhythmic parasite activities.

As one kind of endocrine disrupting chemical, di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been reported to cause liver dysfunction in epidemiological and experimental studies. Abnormal liver function in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Few studies have investigated the potential effect of gestational DEHP exposure on the liver in pregnant mice, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, pregnant ICR mice were exposed to doses (0, 500, 1,000 mg/kg/day) of DEHP in the presence or absence of 5 mg/kg/day ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1, ferroptosis inhibitor) by oral gavage from gestation day 4 to day 18. HepG2 cells were exposed to different doses of monoethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP, a major metabolite of DEHP) in vitro. Hepatic function and pathologic changes were observed. Oxidative stress, iron metabolism, and ferroptosis-related indicators and genes were evaluated both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that gestational DEHP exposure induced disordered liver function and hepatocyte morphology changes in pregnant mice, along with increased malondialdehyde (MDA) and Fe2+ content and decreased glutathione (GSH) levels. The expression levels of the selected ferroptosis-related genes Slc7a11, Gpx4, and Nfr2 were significantly decreased, and Ptgs2 and Lpcat3 were significantly increased. Notably, Fer-1 attenuated DEHP-induced liver injury and ferroptosis. Furthermore, MEHP exhibited a synergistic effect with RSL3 (a GPX4 inhibitor) in promoting ferroptosis in vitro. Taken together, the results demonstrated that DEHP induced liver injury and ferroptosis in pregnant mice, probably by inhibiting the GPX4 pathway through lipid peroxidation and iron accumulation.

Meniere’s disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder characterised by recurrent vertigo attacks associated with sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. Evidence from epidemiology and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) suggests a genetic susceptibility involving multiple genes, including α-Dystrobrevin (DTNA). Here we investigate a Drosophila model. We show that mutation, or knockdown, of the DTNA orthologue in Drosophila, Dystrobrevin (Dyb), results in defective proprioception and impaired function of Johnston’s Organ (JO), the fly’s equivalent of the inner ear. Dyb and another component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), Dystrophin (Dys), are expressed in support cells within JO. Their specific locations suggest that they form part of support cell contacts, thereby helping to maintain the integrity of the hemolymph-neuron diffusion barrier, which is equivalent to a blood-brain barrier. These results have important implications for the human condition, and notably, we note that DTNA is expressed in equivalent cells of the mammalian inner ear.
Fadrozole-mediated sex reversal in the embryonic chicken gonad involves a PAX2 positive undifferentiated supporting cell state

Gonadal sex differentiation among vertebrates involves divergent fates of a common group of progenitor cells present in both presumptive ovaries and testes. The first cell type to differentiate gives rise to pre-Sertoli cells in the testis, and pre-follicular cells in the ovary. These cells derive from a common lineage of so-called “supporting cells”. In birds and other egg-laying vertebrates, locally synthesised estrogen has a central role in ovarian development and influences the fate of these supporting cells. Manipulation of estrogen levels during embryonic development induces gonadal sex reversal, providing an experimental setting to evaluate the process of gonadal sex differentiation. Recently, we identified PAX2 as a novel marker of the undifferentiated supporting cell lineage in the chicken embryo, expressed in both sexes prior to overt gonadal sex differentiation. PAX2 expression is downregulated at the onset of gonadal sex differentiation in both males and females. The analysis of this undifferentiated supporting cell marker, together with Sertoli (male) and pre-granulosa (female) will enhance our understanding of supporting cell differentiation. Here we characterized the supporting cells differentiation process and identified undifferentiated supporting cells in estrogen-mediated sex reversal experiments. Female embryos treated with the aromatase inhibitor fadrozole developed into ovotestis, containing pre-granulosa cells, Sertoli cells and PAX2 positive undifferentiated supporting cells. In contrast, male embryos treated with 17β-estradiol showed no PAX2+ undifferentiated gonadal supporting cells. Fadrozole time-course as well as multiple dose analysis suggests that supporting cell transdifferentiation involves a dedifferentiation event into a PAX2+ undifferentiated supporting cell state, followed by a redifferentiation towards the opposite sex lineage.
