    Abstract While high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has emerged as a more time-efficient alternative to moderate-intensity steady-state exercise (MISS), the impact on systemic free radical formation and link to activated coagulation remains unknown. We recruited sixteen healthy males aged 21 ± 3 y who performed incremental cycle ergometry to determine peak oxygen uptake ([Formula: see text]

    Abstract Ionizing radiation is commonly used to treat a number of malignancies. Although highly effective and now more targeted, many patients suffer side effects. The number of cancer survivors has increased and so there are more patients presenting with symptoms that have arisen as a result of radiotherapy. Radiation damage to small bowel tissue can cause acute or chronic radiation enteritis producing symptoms such as pain, bloating, nausea, faecal urgency, diarrhoea and rectal bleeding which can have a significant impact on patient's quality of life. This review outlines the pathogenesis of radiation injury to the small bowel along with the prevention of radiation damage via radiotherapy techniques plus medications such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, statins and probiotics. It also covers the treatment of both acute and chronic radiation enteritis via a variety of medical (including hyperbaric oxygen), dietetic, endoscopic and surgical therapies.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Rectal bleeding is one of several gastrointestinal side effects that occur after radiotherapy for pelvic malignancy. It can develop during treatment as a result of inflammation, or may be delayed for up to several years, where it is characteristically due to vascular neogenesis within ischaemic tissue. More patients with radiation-induced rectal bleeding are presenting to medical professionals as the number of cancer survivors continues to increase. This review outlines the nonendoscopic treatments that presently exist.
    Recent findings: Guidance was published on the management of gastrointestinal side effects of radiotherapy in 2012. Recent publications have assessed many agents for the treatment of rectal bleeding including antibiotics, colonic irrigation, formalin and ozone therapy. The 'HOT-II' randomized controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is keenly awaited.
    Summary: There is no consensus on the optimal management of radiation-induced rectal bleeding. Therapies with evidence of benefit from randomized trials (of variable quality) are sucralfate enemas, antibiotics, vitamin A and HBO therapy. Other nonendoscopic therapies exist; however, there is a paucity of evidence to recommend these at present. Well constructed, randomized controlled trials are required to compare and evaluate therapeutic options.

    Abstract Determining the structural origins of amyloid fibrillation is essential for understanding both the pathology of amyloidosis and the rational design of inhibitors to prevent or reverse amyloid formation. In this work, the decisive roles of peptide structures on amyloid self-assembly and morphological diversity were investigated by the design of eight amyloidogenic peptides derived from islet amyloid polypeptide. Among the segments, two distinct morphologies were highlighted in the form of twisted and planar (untwisted) ribbons with varied diameters, thicknesses, and lengths. In particular, transformation of amyloid fibrils from twisted ribbons into untwisted structures was triggered by substitution of the C-terminal serine with threonine, where the side chain methyl group was responsible for the distinct morphological change. This effect was confirmed following serine substitution with alanine and valine and was ascribed to the restriction of intersheet torsional strain through the increased hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. We also studied the variation of fibril morphology (i.e., association and helicity) and peptide aggregation propensity by increasing the hydrophobicity of the peptide side group, capping the N-terminus, and extending sequence length. We anticipate that our insights into sequence-dependent fibrillation and morphological diversity will shed light on the structural interpretation of amyloidogenesis and development of structure-specific imaging agents and aggregation inhibitors.
