Question: This study investigated the isolated and combined effects of heat [temperate (22\xa0°C/30\xa0% rH) vs. hot (35\xa0°C/40\xa0% rH)] and hypoxia [sea level (FiO2 0.21) vs. moderate altitude (FiO2 0.15)] on exercise capacity and neuromuscular fatigue characteristics.', 'Eleven physically active subjects cycled to exhaustion at constant workload (66\xa0% of the power output associated with their maximal oxygen uptake in temperate conditions) in four different environmental conditions [temperate/sea level (control), hot/sea level (hot), temperate/moderate altitude (hypoxia) and hot/moderate altitude (hot\xa0+\xa0hypoxia)]. Torque and electromyography (EMG) responses following electrical stimulation of the tibial nerve (plantar-flexion; soleus) were recorded before and 5\xa0min after exercise.', 'Time to exhaustion was reduced (P\xa0<\xa00.05) in hot (-35\xa0±\xa015\xa0%) or hypoxia (-36\xa0±\xa014\xa0%) compared to control (61\xa0±\xa028\xa0min), while hot\xa0+\xa0hypoxia (-51\xa0±\xa020\xa0%) further compromised exercise capacity (P\xa0<\xa00.05). However, the effect of temperature or altitude on end-exercise core temperature (P\xa0=\xa00.089 and P\xa0=\xa00.070, respectively) and rating of perceived exertion (P\xa0>\xa00.05) did not reach significance. Maximal voluntary contraction torque, voluntary activation (twitch interpolation) and peak twitch torque decreased from pre- to post-exercise (-9\xa0±\xa01, -4\xa0±\xa01 and -6\xa0±\xa01\xa0% all trials compounded, respectively; P\xa0<\xa00.05), with no effect of the temperature or altitude. M-wave amplitude and root mean square activity were reduced (P\xa0<\xa00.05) in hot compared to temperate conditions, while normalized maximal EMG activity did not change. Altitude had no effect on any measured parameters.

Answer: Does combining heat stress and moderate hypoxia reduce cycling time to exhaustion without modifying neuromuscular fatigue characteristics?


Question: The aim of this exploratory study was to identify those factors associated with asthma control assessed according to GINA Guidelines.', '809 (56% female) subjects with asthma were recruited consecutively from both specialist and primary care centres. Asthma control was assessed over a 4-week follow-up period using a composite measure. A multivariate analysis was performed, in which asthma control was included as the dependent variable and several explanatory variables were included as independent variables.', 'Analysis performed on the whole population rendered gender (p=0.003), the type of physician (p<0.001), and age group (p<0.001), as significant factors associated with asthma control. In adults, gender (p=0.001), asthma severity (p<0.001), and type of physician (p<0.001) were significant, and only asthma severity was significant (p=0.043) in children.

Answer: Are women , patients with severe asthma , and patients attended by primary care physicians , at higher risk of suffering from poorly controlled asthma?


Question: Zuo-Jin-Wan (ZJW), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, has been identified to be effective against drug resistance in cancer. In the present study, we investigated the effect of ZJW on acquired oxaliplatin-resistant and the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway in vitro.', 'We tested the dose-response relationship of ZJW on reversing drug-resistance by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis in vitro. The protein expression of P-gp, MRP-2, LRP, and ABCB1 mRNA expression level were evaluated by Western blot and quantitative RT-PCR. The activities of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway were also examined with or without ZJW, including Akt, IκB, p65 and their phosphorylation expression.', 'We found that ZJW significantly enhanced the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs and increased oxaliplatin (L-OHP)-induced cell apoptosis in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Moreover, both ZJW and a PI3K specific inhibitor (LY294002) suppressed phosphorylation of Akt (Ser473) and NF-κB, which is necessary in the activation of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway. The effect of ZJW in reversing drug-resistance and suppressing phosphorylation of Akt (Ser473) and NF-κB were weakened after treatment with a PI3K/Akt activator in HCT116/L-OHP cells.

Answer:
Does zuo Jin Wan reverse P-gp-mediated drug-resistance by inhibiting activation of the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway?
