Abstract

High-intensity exercise (3000-meter runner) contributes to muscle fatigue. Fatigue can be determined by measuring blood lactate levels. Blood lactate levels are a product of anaerobic metabolism. Lactate accumulation due to anaerobic physical activity can inhibit the glycolytic enzyme that affects decreased ATP production, damage of the calcium and sodium pumps in the muscles and causes fatigue. This study aimed to analyze the effect of vitamin E on the level of fatigue through the response of blood lactate levels in the runner 3000 meters. This research was a quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest design. Research subjects were 9 volunteer athletes (3000 meters runners) Aceh province, male, and aged 15-20 years. The treatments were vitamin E at a dose of 1x400 IU per day and administered for 14 days. Blood lactate levels were examined using the method of calorimetry. The statistical analysis was using the homogeneity test of variance (Levene's test), the normality test (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) and paired t-test with a significant level of 5% (p-value<0.05). The results showed that blood lactate levels decreased approximately 13.93% after vitamin E supplementation. There was no significant difference (p=0.27) between blood lactate levels before and after vitamin E supplementation in athletes. In conclusion, vitamin E supplementation did not significantly lower blood lactate levels therefore vitamin E did not significantly reduce muscle fatigue in men's athletics.

Abstract

The multiseptate bladder is a congenital bladder anomaly that is very rare and often accompanied by other congenital abnormalities. This condition could result in intravesical obstruction and kidney failure in more serious conditions. A 3-year-old girl without any complaint was consulted by the Pediatric Surgery Department with postoperative cloacal type malformation anorectal (MAR) postero-sagittal anorecto-vagino-urethroplasty (PSARVUP) + sigmoidectomy. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the pelvis showed the appearance of four interconnected multiple fluid lesions. Cystoscopy was performed and found many septa with varied positions and forms. From the cystography during the operation, it was seen duplication of the right and left bladder. There was no further operative treatment in the field of urology because no urinary tract obstruction and normal renal function were found in this study.

Abstract

Highlights: 1. In this study, new primers designed using the semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method were utilized to identify MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 expressions in specimens collected from core biopsy, forcep biopsy, and bronchoalveolar lavage. 2. The histopathological analysis revealed positive expressions of MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 in specimens diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as well as in specimens with no malignant cells. 3. This study provides evidence indicating that the detection of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 by nested reverse transcription PCR can improve the accuracy of lung cancer diagnosis. Abstract The melanoma antigen gene (MAGE) belongs to the group of cancer-testis antigens that are exclusively expressed in germ cells but may be re-expressed in cancer cells. The highly expressed MAGE-A subfamily in lung cancer may potentially be a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. This study aimed to identify MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 expressions in lung tumors obtained from core biopsy, forceps biopsy, and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 90 patients clinically diagnosed with lung tumors. These patients received core biopsy, forceps biopsy, and bronchoalveolar lavage interventions after ethical approval was obtained. The complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) quality was assessed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). The assessment was performed to ascertain if all specimens exhibited positive PCR amplification of the GAPDH gene. MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 were identified through a semi-nested reverse transcription PCR. The positive results were detected by measuring the PCR products, with MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 at base pairs (bp) of 858 and 496 in the first and second rounds, respectively. The expressions of MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 were observed in 3 (3.33%) and 40 (44.44%) out of 90 specimens, respectively. The prevalence rate of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was 31.11% (28/90). Among these cases, 3.57% (1/28) showed the expression of MAGE-A11, while 32.14% (9/28) exhibited the expression of MAGE-A12. Sixty-two (68.89%) out of 90 patients were diagnosed with no tumor cell malignancy. Out of 62 cases, 2 (3.23%) exhibited the expression of MAGE-A11, while 31 (50%) demonstrated the expression of MAGE-A12. MAGE-A11 and MAGE-A12 were detected in NSCLC and certain specimens with a pathological diagnosis that indicated the absence of malignant cells. In conclusion, MAGE A11 and MAGE A12 have potential markers to improve the pathological diagnosis of lung cancer. Further investigation is necessary to explore the expression of MAGE-A in correlation with lung cancer progression.

Abstract

Highlights: • This article reports the use of the Y-maze as a simple yet effective method to measure spatial working memory in mice. • The Y-maze method can be used safely without exposing the animals to additional stressors, as evidenced by the absence of mortality following the test. Abstract: Spatial working memory (SWM) in humans and animal models with impaired cognitive functions has been analyzed through a number of methods. However, this is still understudied in animal models treated with a high-calorie diet (HCD) and moderate-intensity exercise (MIE). The Y-maze was utilized as the assessment method in this study. A 40 x 9 x 9 cm3 Y-maze was employed to observe the animal models' spontaneous alternation (SA) as the representation of their SWM. This was done by calculating the total alternation percentage divided by total entry minus two. A total of 17 female Mus musculus mice aged 8 weeks were tested in the Y-maze to investigate their SWM using SA calculations. Each mouse was analyzed for eight minutes and recorded in a dark and quiet room to minimize bias due to environmental noise and lighting. Comparing the treatment group's (HCD+MIE) SA to the control group's SA revealed no statistically significant difference (p=0.451). Seven mice in the treatment group performed similarly to the mice in the control group in the Y-maze test, with no significant difference in their ability to complete the task. The mice in the treatment group exhibited no motor impairment, as indicated by complete movements of all their extremities while exploring the Y-maze within the allotted time. In conclusion, the Y-maze can be used as a reliable method to analyze SWM in overweight/obese Mus musculus animal models treated with moderate-intensity physical exercise.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a type of a degenerative disorder that affects the body's ability to make or use insulin. The resistance of insulin may affect the decline of GLUT-1 expression of diabetic muscle, causing impaired glucose uptake. Dynamic concentric activity is one of the activity models based on muscle-contraction-type activity. This study used experimental method. The instrument in this study was a treadmill (brand: modified columbus treadmill) with 10-degree slope (uphill), with the velocity of 21 cm/sec (the speed options showed on the treadmill), and the duration of the exercise was 16 minutes and 30 seconds (measured using stopwatch). In this study, there were 3 groups of samples, Normal (K0), DM (K1), and DM + Dynamics Concentric (K2). Based on statistical results of correlation value p=0.00 (p<0.05), there was significant correlation between blood sugar level and GLUT-1. Dynamic concentric activity for diabetics had an effect in increasing the amount of GLUT-1, resulting in decreased blood glucose levels.
