Analysis of risk factors for changes of left ventricular function indexes in Chinese patients with gout by echocardiography

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Background: Echocardiographic data investigating the association between left ventricular (LV) function and gout is still limited.Purpose: To analyze the association of echocardiographic parameters based on two-dimentional speckle tracking analysis with ...

Coronary conductance in the normal development of sheep during the perinatal period

Physiological Reports, 2022
Birth is associated with substantial shifts in cardiovascular physiology. Little is known about coronary vascular adaptations during this period. We used fetal and neonatal lambs to measure coronary function at late gestation (92% of term) and shortly ...

Steady‐state chemoreflex drive captures ventilatory acclimatization during incremental ascent to high altitude: Effect of acetazolamide

Physiological Reports, 2022
Ventilatory acclimatization (VA) is important to maintain adequate oxygenation with ascent to high altitude (HA). Transient hypoxic ventilatory response tests lack feasibility and fail to capture the integrated steady‐state responses to chronic hypoxic ...

Utility of extracellular vesicles as a potential biological indicator of physiological resilience during military operational stress

Physiological Reports, 2022
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) transport biological content between cells to mediate physiological processes. The association between EVs and resilience, the ability to cope with stress, is unknown.

The effect of HTLV1 infection on inflammatory and oxidative parameters in the liver, kidney, and pancreases of BALB/c mice

Physiological Reports, 2022
Viral infections are linked to the progression of inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress that play pivotal roles in systemic diseases. To confirm this phenomenon, in the present study, TNF‐α level and oxidative stress markers were examined in the ...

Verification of surface electromyographic activity of the oblique externus abdominis using ultrasound shear wave elastography

Physiological Reports, 2022
This study used ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) to revalidate whether surface electromyographic (EMG) electrodes placed on the oblique externus abdominis (OE) can detect only the OE activity without the confounding activity of the underlying ...

Exercise‐induced increase in M2 macrophages accelerates wound healing in young mice

Physiological Reports, 2022
Moderate‐intensity exercise performed during wound healing has been reported to decrease inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and accelerate wound healing. However, its effect on macrophage phenotype and the mechanism by which exercise accelerates wound

Probing cellular health at the muscle level—Multi‐frequency bioimpedance in Parkinson's disease

Physiological Reports, 2022
Bioimpedance (mfBIA) non‐invasively assesses cellular muscle health. Our aim was to explore whether mfBIA captures abnormal cellular muscle health in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and how such changes are modulated with the use of Parkinson's ...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in surfactant protein A1 are not associated with a lack of responsiveness to antenatal steroid therapy in a pregnant sheep model

Physiological Reports, 2022
Treatment with antenatal steroids (ANS) is standard practice for reducing the risk of respiratory distress in the preterm infant. Despite clear overall benefits when appropriately administered, many fetuses fail to derive benefit from ANS therapies.
