Abstract
Pairwise comparison of heavy dynamic strength and fast dynamic strength interventions on sprint performance: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 38(9): 1675–1686, 2024—Previous studies have shown that both heavy dynamic strength (HDS) and fast dynamic strength (FDS) training can be used to improve sprint performance; however, a review and meta-analysis investigating pairwise studies that compare these two training interventions have not been performed. The aims of the study were to systematically review and analyze HDS and FDS training methodologies and evaluate their effect size difference, in pairwise comparison studies to determine and compare their effects on sprint performance. Databases were systematically searched using Boolean phrasing to identify eligible articles, and meta-analyses were performed on the extracted data. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria, which resulted in data from 138 subjects across 24 separate sprint assessments. Overall, there was a small effect in favor of FDS (standardized mean difference = 0.27, 95% confidence intervals [−0.07; 0.60], 95% prediction intervals [−1.01; 1.55]), but this was deemed not significant because of the wide-ranging prediction intervals. There is no distinguishable difference between HDS and FDS training on sprint performance. The wide-ranging prediction intervals suggest the variability is too great to determine whether one training type is more effective than the other. Practitioners should consider the individual needs of their athletes when deciding which training type to use for long-term sprint development.

Aim: systemically assessed characteristics of intestinal microbiota taxonomic composition in relation to parameters of hormonal and immune status in patients with external genital endometriosis (EGE).Materials and Methods. The controlled cross-sectional study included 33 patients with EGE comprising main group, and 30 healthy women enrolled to control group. All women underwent assessment of hormonal status and cytokine expression levels in peripheral blood. Level of blood hormones estradiol (E2), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL) was carried out using enzyme-linked immunosorbent and chemiluminescent assays. Expression levels of cytokines such as interleukin (IL) IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were analyzed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Taxonomic composition of intestinal microbiota at the level of phyla and genera was carried out by 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Microbial community a-diversity, the Chao1, ACE, and Sobs indices were used.Results. The concentration of blood E2 in main group was significantly higher compared to control group. Also, women with EGE had higher plasma concentrations for IL-6, IL-8, IL-17 and TNF-a compared to those in control group (p < 0.001). While analyzing bacterial community a-diversity in main group, Chao1 index was found to be significantly decreased. At the phylum level, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio was increased in patients with EGE compared with that in control group. Among the 20 largest genera in patients with EGE, significant abundance was observed for Lachnospira, Blautia, Dorea, Streptococcus, Eubacterium hallii_group paralleled with significant decline in Bifidobacterium and Eubacterium eligens_group. A positive correlation was obtained between estrogen levels and the number of representatives from the genera Eubacterium hallii_group and Streptococcus, IL-8 and Streptococcus, TNF-α and Streptococcus and Lachnospira, as well as a negative correlation between TNF-α and Bifidobacterium.Conclusion. A relation between dysbiotic intestinal alterations and developing endometriosis was found. The identified correlations between altered taxonomic composition of the intestinal microflora and parameters of hormonal and immune status in patients with EGE suggest that intestinal microbiota is involved in pathophysiology of endometriosis.

Abstract
The rapidly advancing technology of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has profoundly impacted the field of underwater geophysics. Our study investigates the effectiveness of DAS in underwater geological stability monitoring, with a particular focus on microseismic monitoring in the Xinfengjiang reservoir. The 6.2 km long acquisition setup, covering both land and reservoir bottom, was verified using temporary shore-based short-period seismometers to ensure reliable data acquisition in various environments. Higher background noise was observed on the land section compared with the lakebed section during the day, whereas both sections exhibited similar noise levels at night. We confirmed that the DAS system was capable of detecting distant microseismic events, some of which were previously unreported. These detections exhibited temporal and phase consistency with neighboring seismometers. Comparison of signal-to-noise ratios indicates that the lakebed section demonstrates higher sensitivity. This system delivers cost-effective performance through natural settling, negating the requirement for costly embedding methods. Moreover, the DAS system identified “comet-like” small-scale signals on the lakebed that had eluded shore-based seismometers. This exemplifies the exceptional high-density and high-resolution capabilities of DAS technology in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. This study underscores the pivotal role of the DAS technology in conducting underwater microseismic monitoring, real-time seismic monitoring, seismic mechanism research, and earthquake hazard assessment.
Assessing the Predictive Power of GPS-Based Ground Deformation Data for Aftershock Forecasting

Published: July 2024

Abstract
We present a machine learning approach for aftershock forecasting of the Japanese earthquakes catalog. Our method takes as sole input the ground surface deformation as measured by Global Positioning System (GPS) stations on the day of the mainshock to predict aftershock location. The quality of data heavily relies on the density of GPS stations: the predictive power is lost when the mainshocks occur far from measurement stations, as in offshore regions. Despite this fact and the small number of samples and the large number of parameters, we are able to limit overfitting, which shows that this new approach is very promising.

Введение. Целью настоящего исследования было изучение интраназального введения антагониста рецептора грелина [D-Lys-3]-GHRP-6 на импульсивность и компульсивность в модели игровой зависимости у взрослых крыс после материнской депривации в раннем онтогенезе.
Материалы и методы. Крысята подвергались материнской (МД) ежедневно в течение 3 часов с 2 по 12 послеродовой день. Далее половозрелые крысы обучались в тесте вероятности и величины подкрепления IOWA Gambling task трехрукавном лабиринте в течение 21 дня. Каждая побежка в 1 рукав лабиринта с режимом подкрепления FR1 подкреплялась двумя пищевыми таблетками. Каждая вторая побежка во 2 рукав лабиринта с режимом подкрепления FR2 подкреплялась тремя пищевыми таблетками; каждая третья побежка в 3 рукав с режимом подкрепления FR3 подкреплялась четырьмя пищевыми таблетками. Соответственно, половина заходов в рукав 2 и 2/3 заходов в рукав 3 оставались без подкрепления. Для оценки компульсивного поведения животных также тестировали в тесте закапывания шариков. Крысу помещали в клетку с опилками и стеклянными шариками на 30 минут, после чего считали количество шариков, покрытых опилками более чем на 2/3.
Результаты и обсуждение. В группе МД количество заходов в 3 рукав увеличилось в 1,5 раза, что свидетельствует о выборе большего подкрепления при низкой вероятности его получения. Количество заходов в рукав 1 уменьшилось по сравнению с контрольной группой. Интраназальное введение селективного антагониста рецептора GHSR1A [D-Lys (3)]-GHRP-6 (1 мг/мл) животным МД приводило к достоверному (p<0,01) увеличению количества посещений 1 рукава. Кроме того, наблюдалась тенденция к уменьшению количества зарытых шариков у крыс, получавших [D-Lys (3)]-GHRP-6.
Заключение. Таким образом, работа показывает, что хронический стресс МД приводит к поведенческой стратегии у животных, направленной на получение более значительного пищевого подкрепления, но с низкой вероятностью его достижения, что связано с увеличением импульсивного компонента игровой зависимости. МД также вызывает увеличение количества закопанных шариков в тесте с закапывания шариков, что связано с увеличением компульсивного компонента игровой зависимости. Интраназальное введение антагониста GHS-R1a [D-Lys (3)]-GHRP-6 крысам МД значительно снижает повышенную импульсивную активность в тесте вероятности и величины подкрепления. Полученные данные открывают возможность создания лекарств, мишенью которых могут быть рецепторы грелина. Интраназальный метод введения пептидных веществ, использованный в работе, подтверждает возможность использования этого метода введения.

Background: Several approaches have been proposed to optimize the construction of an artificial intelligence-based model for assessing ploidy status. These encompass the investigation of algorithms, refining image segmentation techniques, and discerning essential patterns throughout embryonic development. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using U-NET architecture for embryo segmentation and time-lapse embryo image sequence extraction, three and ten hr before biopsy to improve model accuracy for prediction of embryonic ploidy status.
Methods: A total of 1.020 time-lapse videos of blastocysts with known ploidy status were used to construct a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model for ploidy detection. Sequential images of each blastocyst were extracted from the time-lapse videos over a period of three and ten hr prior to the biopsy, generating 31.642 and 99.324 blastocyst images, respectively. U-NET architecture was applied for blastocyst image segmentation before its implementation in CNN-based model development.
Results: The accuracy of ploidy prediction model without applying the U-NET segment-ed sequential embryo images was 0.59 and 0.63 over a period of three and ten hr before biopsy, respectively. Improved model accuracy of 0.61 and 0.66 was achieved, respectively with the implementation of U-NET architecture for embryo segmentation on the current model. Extracting blastocyst images over a 10 hr period yields higher accuracy compared to a three-hr extraction period prior to biopsy.
Conclusion: Combined implementation of U-NET architecture for blastocyst image segmentation and the sequential compilation of ten hr of time-lapse blastocyst images could yield a CNN-based model with improved accuracy in predicting ploidy status.

Published: July 2024

Background: Freezing is a crucial technique in reproductive science utilized for the preservation of sperm samples. However, the process of freezing and thawing sperm can result in detrimental effects on sperm quality. One of the major mechanisms underlying this decline in sperm quality is the generation of reactive oxygen species during the freeze process. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of magnesium oxide nanoparticles on frozen sperm parameters.
Methods: Semen samples were collected from 8 fertile men, aged 30 to 42 years, with normozoospermia, following 3 to 5 days of abstinence. The samples were divided into fresh (n=3), freeze (n=3), and control (n=2) groups. Three fresh experimental groups were only exposed to MgO NPs with concentrations of 5, 25, and 50 μg/ml and three freezing experimental groups were frozen after being treated with MgO NPs, thawed, and analyzed after 30 min.
Results: Our findings revealed that the progressive movement and vitality of sperm experienced a significant decline, while non-progressive and immotile sperm showed a notable increase in both fresh and frozen experimental groups exposed to MgO NPs. However, the application of MgO NPs during fresh and freezing processes demonstrated an effective preservation of pH, morphology, and DNA fragmentation in sperm cells.
Conclusion: The analysis revealed that MgO NPs negatively impact sperm motility and viability in both fresh and freeze analysis. Also, the use of MgO NPs in fresh and frozen processes effectively maintains the pH, morphology, and fragmentation of DNA in sperm cells.

Objective. The purpose of the work is to use a meta-analysis to investigate the effect of melatonin monotherapy on the hemodynamic parameters of normotensive and hypertensive rats.Design and methods. For our metaanalysis, we selected 39 publications, of which 28 studied the effect of melatonin monotherapy on hemodynamic parameters in normotensive rats, 12 in SHR rats, 7 in rats with fructose-induced hypertension, 3 in rats with L-NAME-induced hypertension. Meta-analysis of study results was conducted using the statistical program Review Manager 5.3 (Cochrane Library).Results. Our meta-analysis showed that melatonin has a dose-dependent hypotensive and bradycardic effect with a single intravenous administration. The hypotensive effect of chronic administration of melatonin will increase with the duration of therapy. Moreover, the hypotensive effect of melatonin is significantly higher in hypertensive animals compared to normotensive ones. Long-term therapy with melatonin reduced blood pressure levels in normotensive animals by no more than 2 mm Hg, and in hypertensive rats by an average of 20–30 mm Hg.Conclusions. As a result, since melatonin demonstrates a good hypotensive effect in various models of experimental hypertension, it is advisable to continue clinical studies of the possibility of using melatonin in the treatment of hypertension, which should focus on monotherapy, dose selection, various methods of increasing bioavailability and prolonging the effect.
