The literature has extensively investigated potential factors influencing women’s performance, including the menstrual cycle and the circadian rhythm. However, review articles exploring the combined influence of both factors remain lacking in the literature. The study aimed to systematically review the literature on the relationship between the circadian rhythm and menstrual cycle on physical performance in women. The review followed the PRISMA guidelines. The search was performed on the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Google Scholar databases. Of the 1205 records identified, four articles met the inclusion criteria. From four articles, two studies found a significant interaction between the time of day and phase of the menstrual cycle with physical performance. The isometric strength increased in the afternoon in the mid-luteal phase (versus the morning in the mid-luteal phase, p < 0.05), and the maximum cycling power was higher in the afternoon in the mid-follicular phase (versus the morning in the mid-follicular phase, p < 0.01). Our findings suggest that the time of day and the menstrual cycle phase affect physical performance, with the daytime potentially having a more significant influence. However, the results should be interpreted cautiously due to the limited studies and diverse methodologies used to monitor the menstrual cycle phase. This review reinforces the need for further investigation to understand better the combined effects of the circadian rhythm and menstrual cycle on women’s physical performance.https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=380965, identifier CRD42022380965.
文献广泛研究了影响女性成绩的潜在因素,包括月经周期和昼夜节律。然而,文献中仍然缺乏探讨这两个因素综合影响的综述文章。本研究旨在系统回顾有关昼夜节律和月经周期对女性运动表现的关系的文献。综述遵循了 PRISMA 指南。检索在 Web of Science、PubMed、Scopus、SPORTDiscus 和 Google Scholar 数据库中进行。在确定的 1205 条记录中,有四篇文章符合纳入标准。在四篇文章中,有两篇研究发现,一天中的时间和月经周期的阶段与体能表现之间存在显著的交互作用。等长力量在黄体中期的下午增加(与黄体中期的上午相比,P < 0.05),最大骑行功率在卵泡中期的下午更高(与卵泡中期的上午相比,P < 0.01)。我们的研究结果表明,一天中的时间和月经周期阶段会影响体能表现,其中白天的影响可能更大。然而,由于监测月经周期阶段的研究有限且方法各异,因此应谨慎解释这些结果。本综述强调了进一步调查的必要性,以更好地了解昼夜节律和月经周期对女性体能表现的综合影响。https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=380965,标识符为 CRD42022380965。

The loose-patch clamp technique was first developed and used in native amphibian skeletal muscle (SkM), offering useful features complementing conventional sharp micro-electrode, gap, or conventional patch voltage clamping. It demonstrated the feedback effects of pharmacological modification of ryanodine receptor (RyR)-mediated Ca2+ release on the Na+ channel (Nav1.4) currents, initiating excitation–contraction coupling in native murine SkM. The effects of the further RyR and Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) antagonists, dantrolene and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), additionally implicated background tubular-sarcoplasmic Ca2+ domains in these actions.We extend the loose-patch clamp approach to ion current measurements in murine hippocampal brain slice cornu ammonis-1 (CA1) pyramidal neurons. We explored the effects on Na+ currents of pharmacologically manipulating RyR and SERCA-mediated intracellular store Ca2+ release and reuptake. We adopted protocols previously applied to native skeletal muscle. These demonstrated Ca2+-mediated feedback effects on the Na+ channel function.Experiments applying depolarizing 15 ms duration loose-patch clamp steps to test voltages ranging from −40 to 120 mV positive to the resting membrane potential demonstrated that 0.5 mM caffeine decreased inward current amplitudes, agreeing with the previous SkM findings. It also decreased transient but not prolonged outward current amplitudes. However, 2 mM caffeine affected neither inward nor transient outward but increased prolonged outward currents, in contrast to its increasing inward currents in SkM. Furthermore, similarly and in contrast to previous SkM findings, both dantrolene (10 μM) and CPA (1 μM) pre-administration left both inward and outward currents unchanged. Nevertheless, dantrolene pretreatment still abrogated the effects of subsequent 0.5- and 2-mM caffeine challenges on both inward and outward currents. Finally, CPA abrogated the effects of 0.5 mM caffeine on both inward and outward currents, but with 2 mM caffeine, inward and transient outward currents were unchanged, but sustained outward currents increased.We, thus, extend loose-patch clamping to establish pharmacological properties of murine CA1 pyramidal neurons and their similarities and contrasts with SkM. Here, evoked though not background Ca2+-store release influenced Nav and Kv excitation, consistent with smaller contributions of background store Ca2+ release to resting [Ca2+]. This potential non-canonical mechanism could modulate neuronal membrane excitability or cellular firing rates.

Introduction: This study aimed to model below and above anaerobic threshold exercise-induced heart rate (HR) drift, so that the corrected HR could better represent V̇O2 kinetics during and after the exercise itself.Methods: Fifteen healthy subjects (age: 28 ± 5 years; V̇O2Max: 50 ± 8 mL/kg/min; 5 females) underwent a maximal and a 30-min submaximal (80% of the anaerobic threshold) running exercises. A five-stage computational (i.e., delay block, new training impulse-calculation block, Sigmoid correction block, increase block, and decrease block) model was built to account for instantaneous HR, fitness, and age and to onset, increase, and decrease according to the exercise intensity and duration.Results: The area under the curve (AUC) of the hysteresis function, which described the differences in the maximal and submaximal exercise-induced V̇O2 and HR kinetics, was significantly reduced for both maximal (26%) and submaximal (77%) exercises and consequent recoveries.Discussion: In conclusion, this model allowed HR drift instantaneous correction, which could be exploited in the future for more accurate V̇O2 estimations.

Introduction: The availability of proactive techniques for health monitoring is essential to reducing fetal mortality and avoiding complications in fetal wellbeing. In harsh circumstances such as pandemics, earthquakes, and low-resource settings, the incompetence of many healthcare systems worldwide in providing essential services, especially for pregnant women, is critical. Being able to continuously monitor the fetus in hospitals and homes in a direct and fast manner is very important in such conditions.Methods: Monitoring the health of the baby can potentially be accomplished through the computation of vital bio-signal measures using a clear fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The aim of this study is to develop a framework to detect and identify the R-peaks of the fetal ECG directly from a 12 channel abdominal composite signal. Thus, signals were recorded noninvasively from 70 pregnant (healthy and with health conditions) women with no records of fetal abnormalities. The proposed model employs a recurrent neural network architecture to robustly detect the fetal ECG R-peaks.Results: To test the proposed framework, we performed both subject-dependent (5-fold cross-validation) and independent (leave-one-subject-out) tests. The proposed framework achieved average accuracy values of 94.2% and 88.8%, respectively. More specifically, the leave-one-subject-out test accuracy was 86.7% during the challenging period of vernix caseosa layer formation. Furthermore, we computed the fetal heart rate from the detected R-peaks, and the demonstrated results highlight the robustness of the proposed framework.Discussion: This work has the potential to cater to the critical industry of maternal and fetal healthcare as well as advance related applications.
介绍:要降低胎儿死亡率,避免胎儿健康出现并发症,就必须掌握主动的健康监测技术。在大流行病、地震和资源匮乏等恶劣环境下,全球许多医疗保健系统无法提供基本服务,尤其是对孕妇而言,这一点至关重要。在这种情况下,能够在医院和家中以直接、快速的方式对胎儿进行持续监测非常重要:方法:通过使用清晰的胎儿心电图(ECG)信号计算重要的生物信号,可以实现对胎儿健康的监测。本研究旨在开发一个框架,直接从 12 个通道的腹部复合信号中检测和识别胎儿心电图的 R 峰。因此,对 70 名无胎儿畸形记录的孕妇(健康和有健康问题)进行了无创信号记录。所提出的模型采用了递归神经网络架构,能稳健地检测出胎儿心电图的 R 峰:为了测试所提出的框架,我们进行了受试者依赖性(5 倍交叉验证)和独立测试(排除一个受试者)。拟议框架的平均准确率分别达到 94.2% 和 88.8%。更具体地说,在绒毛膜层形成的挑战期,"排除一个受试者 "测试的准确率为 86.7%。此外,我们还根据检测到的 R 峰值计算了胎儿的心率,所展示的结果凸显了所提议框架的鲁棒性:这项工作有望满足孕产妇和胎儿医疗保健这一关键行业的需求,并推动相关应用的发展。

Introduction: Interleukin 13 (IL-13) is an important effector molecule in allergic asthma. IL-13-mediated mucin hypersecretion requires conversion of secretoglobin-positive club cells into goblet cells through suppression of forkhead box A2 (FOXA2) and induction of SAM pointed domain containing ETS transcription factor (SPDEF). IL-13-mediated mucin hypersecretion may also include modulation of purinergic and muscarinic receptors that control basal and stimulated mucin secretion. We recently found that the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding protein (Creb1) inhibits FOXA2 and modulates mucus secretion in mice.Methods: We tested the hypothesis that loss of club cell Creb1 mitigates the pro-mucin effects of IL-13. We challenged male and female mice with conditional loss of club cell Creb1 and wild type littermates with intra-airway IL-13 or vehicle. We also studied human “club cell-like” NCI-H322 cells.Results: Loss of club cell Creb1 augmented IL-13-mediated increases in mRNA for the gel-forming mucins Muc5ac and Muc5b and prevented IL-13-mediated decreases in muscarinic 3 receptor (M3R) mRNA in male airways. In female airways, loss of club cell Creb1 reduced M3R mRNA and significantly blunted IL-13-mediated increases in purinergic receptor P2Y2 (P2ry2) mRNA but did not impact Muc5ac and Muc5b mRNA. Despite changes in mucins and secretion machinery, goblet cell density following cholinergic stimulation was not impacted by loss of club cell Creb1 in either sex. IL-13 treatment decreased basal airway resistance across sexes in mice with loss of club cell Creb1, whereas loss of club cell Creb1 augmented IL-13-mediated increases in airway elastance in response to methacholine. NCI-H322 cells displayed IL-13 signaling components, including IL-13Rα1 and IL-4Rα. Pharmacologic inhibition of CREB reduced IL-13Rα1 mRNA, whereas recombinant CREB decreased IL-4Rα mRNA. Application of IL-13 to NCI-H322 cells increased concentrations of cAMP in a delayed manner, thus linking IL-13 signaling to CREB signaling.Conclusion: These data highlight sex-specific regulation of club cell Creb1 on IL-13-mediated mucin hypersecretion and airway mechanics.

Background: The use of elastomeric technology in sports garments is increasing in popularity; however, its specific impact on physiological and psychological variables is not fully understood. Thus, we aimed to analyze the physiological (muscle activation of the pectoralis major, triceps brachii, anterior deltoid, and rectus abdominis, capillary blood lactate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) and psychological (global and respiratory rating of perceived exertion [RPE]) responses during an incremental treadmill test wearing a new sports garment for the upper body that incorporates elastomeric technology or a placebo garment.Methods: Eighteen physically active young adults participated in two randomized sessions, one wearing the elastomeric garment and the other wearing a placebo. Participants performed in both sessions the same treadmill incremental test (i.e., starting at 8 km/h, an increase of 2 km/h each stage, stage duration of 3 min, and inclination of 1%; the test ended after completing the 18 km/h Stage or participant volitional exhaustion). The dependent variables were assessed before, during, and/or after the test. Nonparametric tests evaluated differences.Results: The elastomeric garment led to a greater muscle activation (p < 0.05) in the pectoralis major at 16 km/h (+33.35%, p = 0.01, d = 0.47) and 18 km/h (+32.09%, p = 0.02, d = 0.55) and in the triceps brachii at 10 km/h (+20.28%, p = 0.01, d = 0.41) and 12 km/h (+34.95%, p = 0.04, d = 0.28). Additionally, lower lactate was observed at the end of the test (−7.81%, p = 0.01, d = 0.68) and after 5 min of recovery (−13.71%, p < 0.001, d = 1.00) with the elastomeric garment. Nonsignificant differences between the garments were encountered in the time to exhaustion, cardiovascular responses, or ratings of perceived exertion.Conclusion: These findings suggest that elastomeric garments enhance physiological responses (muscle activation and blood lactate) during an incremental treadmill test without impairing physical performance or effort perception.

Nonsignificant differences between the garments were encountered in the time to exhaustion, cardiovascular responses, or ratings of perceived exertion.Conclusion: These findings suggest that elastomeric garments enhance physiological responses (muscle activation and blood lactate) during an incremental treadmill test without impairing physical performance or effort perception.","PeriodicalId":504973,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140675225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
