    Abstract Background: The present study aimed to examine the effects of a 500 kcal reduction in daily energy intake alone and in combination with 90 min of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise per week on body weight, body composition, and appetite sensations in young women with normal BMI and abnormal body fat percentage.
    Methods: sixty-six young women with normal BMI and abnormal body fat percentage (21.33 ± 1.20 kg/m
    Results: After 4 weeks of intervention, CR and CR-EX groups both reduced body weight, fat percentage, and waist and hip circumferences compared to the C group (
    Conclusion: A 500 kcal reduction in daily energy intake alone and in combination with 90 min of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise per week could both reduce weight and improve body composition in young adult women with normal BMI and abnormal body fat percentage. More importantly, calorie restriction combined with exercise intervention was superior to calorie restriction alone in improving muscle mass loss and regulating appetite sensations.

    Abstract Multi-energy flow (MEF) calculation is essential for analyzing integrated energy systems (IES) with electricity, gas, and heat. However, for some hybrid-topology IES, conventional MEF calculation methods are hard to converge due to the complex topological structure. To this end, this paper proposes a topological partition based MEF calculation method. First, based on topological structure, the proposed method divides the original system into multiple blocks with only radial or looped topologies, and solves each block with suitable algorithms. This improvement can accelerate the calculation process and broaden the initial solutions range. Second, the proposed method sets the proper balance node of each block such that the convergence of each block becomes independent. This enables the non-convergent blocks can be identified easily. Third, the proposed method sets isobarometric nodes to get equivalent topology reconstruction, which makes the MEF calculation applicable for certain complex systems. Finally, a case study on the IES of Yangzhong City shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD), characterized by severe pruritus, immune imbalance, and skin barrier dysfunction, has a high incidence worldwide. Recent evidence has shown that the modulation of gut microbiota is crucial for alleviating clinical symptoms of AD. Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPS) have been demonstrated to have a variety of biological activities such as immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. However, their effects on AD treatment have never been investigated. In this study, we compared the therapeutic effects of topical or oral administration of TFPS on AD in dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced AD mice. Both topical application and oral administration of TFPS led to improvement on transdermal water loss, epidermal thickening, and ear edema in AD mice, but the oral administration showed significantly better efficacy than the topical application. The TFPS treatment increased the proportion of CD4 (+) CD25 (+) Foxp3 (+) regulatory T cells in mesenteric lymph nodes. Additionally, the non-targeted metabolomics and sequencing of 16S rDNA amplicons were performed, revealing metabolite modulation in feces and changed composition of gut microbiota in mice, which were induced for AD-like disorder and treated by oral administration of TFPS. Collectively, these data suggest that the oral administration of TFPS may constitute a novel effective therapy for AD, with underlying mechanisms associated with the regulation of immune response, and improvement of both metabolism and the composition of intestinal microbiota.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of carbohydrate only or carbohydrate plus protein supplementation on endurance capacity and muscle damage.
    Methods: Ten recreationally active male runners (VO
    Results: There was no significant difference in time to exhaustion between the three supplement strategies (CHO+CHO: 432 ± 225 s; PRO+CHO: 463 ± 227 s; CHO+PRO: 461 ± 248 s). However, ALT and AST were significantly lower in PRO+CHO than in CHO+CHO 24 h after exercise (ALT: 16.80 ± 6.31 vs. 24.39 ± 2.54 U/L; AST: 24.06 ± 4.77 vs. 31.51 ± 7.53 U/L,
    Conclusion: Carbohydrate and protein supplement strategies can reduce muscle damage caused by endurance exercise, but they do not improve endurance exercise capacity.

    Abstract Maternal sepsis is a life-threatening condition and ranks among the top five causes of maternal death in pregnancy and the postpartum period. Herein, we conducted a retrospective study on sepsis cases to explain the related risk factors by comparing them with bloodstream infection (BSI) and control maternities. In total, 76 sepsis cases were enrolled, and 31 BSI and 57 maternal cases of the same age but with neither sepsis nor BSI were set as controls. Genital tract infection (GTI) and pneumonia were the two most common infection sources in both sepsis (22 cases, 29% and 29 cases, 38%) and BSI cases (18 cases, 58% and 8 cases, 26%). Urinary tract infection (UTI)/pyelonephritis (9 cases, 12%) and digestive infection cases (11 cases, 14%) only existed in the sepsis group. Significantly different infection sources were discovered between the sepsis-death and sepsis-cure groups. A higher proportion of pneumonia and a lower proportion of GTI cases were present in the sepsis-death group (17 cases, 45% pneumonia and 9 cases, 24% GTI) than in the sepsis-cure group (12 cases, 32% pneumonia and 13 cases, 34% GTI). In addition, although gram-negative bacteria were the dominant infectious microorganisms as previously reported, lower proportion of gram-negative bacteria infectious cases in sepsis (30 cases, 50%) and even lower in sepsis-death group (14 cases, 41%) was shown in this study than previous studies. As expected, significantly greater adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, such as higher maternal mortality (26.3% vs. 0% vs. 0%), higher fetal mortality (42.2% vs. 20.8% vs. 0%), earlier gestational age at delivery (26.4 ± 9.5 vs. 32.3 ± 8.1 vs. 37.7 ± 4.0) and lower newborn weight (1,590 ± 1287.8 vs. 2859.2 ± 966.0 vs. 3214.2 ± 506.4), were observed in the sepsis group. This study offered some potential pathogenesis and mortality risk factors for sepsis, which may inspire the treatment of sepsis in the future.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Low energy availability (LEA) is a medical condition observed in athletes, with a higher prevalence in aesthetic sports. For the first time, this study evaluated the relative prevalence of LEA in female elite athletes (ELA) and recreational athletes (REA) in aesthetic sports in China. METHODS: Female athletes from 6 sports (trampolining, rhythmic gymnastics, aerobics, dance sport, cheerleading and dance) were recruited, including ELA (n = 52; age = 20 ± 3) on Chinese national teams and REA (n = 114; Age = 20 ± 2) from Beijing Sport University. Participants completed 2 online questionnaires to assess LEA and eating disorder risk. These included the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q), which provided information on injury history, gastrointestinal function and menstrual history, and the Eating Disorder Inventory-3 Referral Form (EDI-3 RF). For a sub-group of elite athletes (n = 14), body composition, bone mineral density, and blood serum were also quantified. RESULTS: A total of 41.6% of participants (n = 69) were at increased risk of LEA, and 57.2% of participants (n = 95) were classified as high in eating disorder risk. For ELA vs. REA, there was a significantly higher prevalence of LEA risk (55.8% vs. 35.1%; p = 0.012) and amenorrhea (53.8% vs. 13.3%; p < 0.001). Elite athletes at increased risk of LEA had significantly lower estradiol (p = 0.021) and whole-body BMD (p = 0.028). Pearson correlations indicated that the whole-body BMD (r = − 0.667, p = 0.009) correlated negatively with LEAF-Q score. CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study indicate that there is a risk of LEA in female Chinese athletes within aesthetic sports, and significantly higher prevalence of increased LEA risk observed in ELA than in REA. Chinese coaches and sports medicine staff working elite female athletes in aesthetic sports should develop strategies to reduce the prevalence of LEA.
