Exercise promotes cardioprotection in both humans and animals not only by reducing risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease but by reducing myocardial infarction and improving survival following ischemia. This article will define the role that nitric oxide and β-adrenergic receptors play in mediating the cardioprotective effects of exercise in the setting of ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative motor disorder, which is currently incurable. Mutations in many genes have been demonstrated to be the primary risk factors associated with the familial or idiopathic PD; however, the mechanisms underlying these genetic mutations resulting in parkinsonism remains unclear. Phospholipase A2 group VI (PLA2G6) has been shown to regulate lipid metabolism and homeostasis in the nervous system. Previous studies have shown that point mutations in PLA2G6 might be the risk factors associated with the young–onset of dystonia–parkinsonism type 14 (PARK14). However, limited information is available regarding its pathogenic role and the mechanism underlying its function. Methods: To study the role of PLA2G6 mutations in zebrafish PARK14 models, we injected different mutation constructs of human PLA2G6 genes and zebrafish pla2g6 deletion constructs in the zebrafish larvae. We analyzed the locomotion behavior, performed immunohistochemistry to examine the formation of dopaminergic neurons, and identified the defective metabolites affected by PLA2G6 mutations through metabolomics analysis. Results: Injection of human PLA2G6 mutations and zebrafish pla2g6 deletion constructs induced symptoms such as motility defects and reduced number of dopaminergic neurons, and these symptoms resembled those observed in PARK14. These phenotypes could be rescued by treatment with L-dopa. Furthermore, the injection of two PLA2G6 mutation constructs, D331Y and T572I, led to a decrease in the phospholipase activity of PLA2G6 and its lipid metabolites, indicating that these two mutations are the loss-of-function mutations. We further performed metabolomics analysis to identify which lipids are majorly affected by the overexpression of PLA2G6 and PLA2G6 mutants. We found that injecting D331Y or T572I mutation constructs led to higher phospholipid and lower DHA levels. Conclusions: D331Y and T572I injections in zebrafish were sufficient to create a PD phenotypes. In addition, D331Y and T572I are loss of function mutations and cause defective phospholipase activity and reduced the level of DHA. These results have helped us elucidate the role of PLA2G6 mutations in PARK14 and further led to a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PD. The results of this study may also facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies for PD.

Abstract Prevention and treatment of hypertension (HTN) are a challenging public health problem. Recent evidence suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) has potential to be a promising tool for reducing the global burden of HTN, and furthering precision medicine related to cardiovascular (CV) diseases including HTN. Since AI can stimulate human thought processes and learning with complex algorithms and advanced computational power, AI can be applied to multimodal and big data, including genetics, epigenetics, proteomics, metabolomics, CV imaging, socioeconomic, behavioral, and environmental factors. AI demonstrates the ability to identify risk factors and phenotypes of HTN, predict the risk of incident HTN, diagnose HTN, estimate blood pressure (BP), develop novel cuffless methods for BP measurement, and comprehensively identify factors associated with treatment adherence and success. Moreover, AI has also been used to analyze data from major randomized controlled trials exploring different BP targets to uncover previously undescribed factors associated with CV outcomes. Therefore, AI-integrated HTN care has the potential to transform clinical practice by incorporating personalized prevention and treatment approaches, such as determining optimal and patient-specific BP goals, identifying the most effective antihypertensive medication regimen for an individual, and developing interventions targeting modifiable risk factors. Although the role of AI in HTN has been increasingly recognized over the past decade, it remains in its infancy, and future studies with big data analysis and N-of-1 study design are needed to further demonstrate the applicability of AI in HTN prevention and treatment.

The article identifies and analyzes the risk factors associated with the formation and collapse of the USSR as a recreation of the Imperial political and legal space, a type of national and supranational socio-political and legal identity. The authors consider the various processes of integration and disintegration of state actors in the context of the risk society paradigm, recognizing its methodological foundations. Both the emergence and collapse of the USSR are responses to the escalating risks and crises of the Russian political and legal systems, and a way out. When considering such problems, it is impossible to eliminate mental and cultural archetypes, historic state and legal experience, and the place and role of personality in history, especially within the nations contradictory history. In this regard, the article analyzes the positions of leadership of the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR in the matter of national legal policy that influenced the collapse of the USSR.

Abstract Background Compare the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between field and non-field working in the sugar industry, exploring occupational factors associated with eGFR levels. Methods Cross-sectional study performed with workers of a sugar company in San Jacinto, Peru. We compared both groups regarding their eGFR<90 (ml/min/1.73m2) estimated from serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI prediction equation. We analyzed heat stress, vigorous activities and dehydration as risk factors associated with eGFR. We fitted Poisson regression models with robust variance to estimate the prevalence ratio (PR) of eGFR<90 between field and non-field and the association to risk factors. Results We analyzed the data from 137 men, aged 42.3 years (SD = 11.3) on average. Field (57/137, 41.6%) were exposed to higher occupational heat stress (median +0.1 °C), drank 0.7 litres more fluids, and developed more vigorous activities than non-field. The eGFR<90 was more prevalent in field (31.6%) than in non-field (23.6%). After adjusting for occupational factors, the PR between field and non-field was 1.40 (95% CI:0.83-2.37). Occupational heat stress (PR:2.11; 95% CI:1.06-4.22) and age (PR:1.04; 95% CI:1.01-1.08) were associated with a deteriorated renal function (eGFR<90). Conclusions Field had a more deteriorated kidney function compared to non-field. Strenuous work in high-temperature environments and age contribute to reducing the kidney function of field. Occupational interventions focused on these factors can help to reduce the incidence of Chronic Kidney Disease of an undetermined cause among Peruvian fields.
