Heat acclimation by post-exercise hot water immersion (HWI) on six consecutive days reduces thermal strain and improves exercise performance during heat stress. However, the retention of adaptations by this method remains unknown. Typically, adaptations to short-term, exercise-heat-acclimation ( 0.05). As such, the reduction in thermal strain during exercise-heat stress appears likely due to the reduction in resting Tre evident at POST, WK 1 and WK 2. In summary, 6 days of post-exercise HWI is an...

The paratrigeminal nucleus is an obscure region in the dorsal lateral medulla, which has been best characterised as a collection of interstitial cells located in the dorsal tip of the spinal trigeminal tract. The paratrigeminal nucleus receives afferent input from the vagus, trigeminal, spinal and glossopharyngeal nerves, which contribute to its long-known roles in the baroreceptor reflex and nociceptive processing. More recently, studies have shown that this region is also involved in the processing...

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play crucial roles in diverse biological processes. However, expression levels and functions of circRNAs related to heat acclimation (HA) are poorly understood. we, for the first time, used comprehensive circRNA expression profiling to investigate circRNA–miRNA interactions in HA rats, to provide a better understanding of mechanisms underlying HA. CircRNA expression profile was performed in rats’ hypothalamus of HA and control group with microarray assays. Bioinformatics...

The first ascent of Mount Everest by Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 brought global attention to the Sherpa people and human performance at altitude. The Sherpa inhabit the Khumbu Valley of Nepal, and are descendants of a population that has resided continuously on the Tibetan plateau for the past ~25,000 to 40,000 years. The long exposure of the Sherpa to an inhospitable environment has driven genetic selection and produced distinct adaptive phenotypes. This review summarizes the population...

Polymorphic melanism in insects is a conspicuous phenotype which is derived from specific genotypes, and might be central to speciation processes via assortative sexual selection. At the molecular level, melanism in insects is attributed to the melanin pathway. DOPA decarboxylase (DDC) protein encoded by the DDC gene plays a central role in dopamine-melanin synthesis, the main component of melanin in insects. Although the mechanism of melanism has been elucidated in holometabolous insects, other...

Accumulating evidence has shown that preeclampsia (PE) was associated with an aberrant maternal-fetal inflammatory response. In the present study, we first found that in human PE placentas levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), phosphorylated p38 MAPK (p-p38) and inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and MCP-1 were significantly upregulated. Next, we demonstrated a notable increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and proteinuria in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated pregnant rats; and concomitant high levels...

Abstract We report a 74-year-old man with malignant tumor of the chest wall. He underwent wide local excision and reconstruction with combined free anterolateral thigh (ALT) and tensor fascia latae (TFL) flap using intraflap flow-through anastomoses. The designed flap was 20 × 11 cm in size; however, the flap pedicles of the ALT perforators were smaller than expected. Considering that the ALT perforators would not have yielded a sufficient perforasome, we included TFL perforator...
