A new approach for reducing pollutants level: a longitudinal cohort study of physical exercises in young people. BMC Public Health 2022; 22:223. [PMID: 35114971 PMCID: PMC8812347 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-022-12621-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to evaluate the elimination of three common pollutants (dimethoate, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and bisphenol A (BPA) by different physical exercises and to assess the possible factors which could affect the pollutants elimination. METHODS A total of 200 individuals who chose different kinds of exercises in accordance to their own wish were recruited. The levels of urinary pollutants were measured using β-glucuronidase hydrolysis followed by a high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry-based method. RESULTS Totally, the levels of dimethoate, BaP and BPA were reduced after physical exercises. However, the elimination of BaP in male was higher than that in female but the elimination of BPA in female was higher than that in male. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the degree of heart rate (HR) change was a protective factor affecting the improvement effect of dimethoate, BaP and BPA while BMI (body mass index) was a risk factor. Nevertheless, sex was a risk factor affecting the improvement of dimethoate and BaP but had a lower efficacy on BPA improvement. CONCLUSION The present findings indicate that physical exercises can be considered as a novel approach to eliminate pollutants level in human body and can also give suggestions for choosing specific physical exercises to male and female individuals. Moreover, those who are with higher BMI need to lose weight before eliminating pollutant level through physical exercises.

Hu Q, Chen Z, Yuan X, Li S, Zhang R, Qin X. Common Polymorphisms in the RGMa Promoter Are Associated With Cerebrovascular Atherosclerosis Burden in Chinese Han Patients With Acute Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:743868. [PMID: 34722675 PMCID: PMC8554026 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.743868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Repulsive guidance molecule a (RGMa) plays a vital role in the progression of numerous inflammatory diseases. However, whether it participates in atherosclerosis development is not known. Here, we explored the influence of RGMa in atherogenesis by investigating whether an association exists between functional polymorphisms in the RGMa promoter and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis burden (CAB) in Chinese Han patients diagnosed with acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident. To this end, we conducted a genetic association study on 201 patients with prior diagnoses of acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack recruited from our hospital. After admission, we conducted three targeted single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping and evaluated CAB by computed tomography angiography. We used logistic regression modeling to analyze genetic associations. Functional polymorphism analysis indicated an independent association between the rs725458 T allele and increased CAB in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.66, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.01–2.74, P = 0.046]. In contrast, an association between the rs4778099 AA genotype and decreased CAB (adjusted OR = 0.10, 95% CI = 0.01–0.77, P = 0.027) was found. Our Gene Expression Omnibus analysis revealed lower RGMa levels in the atherosclerotic aortas and in the macrophages isolated from plaques than that in the normal aortas and macrophages from normal tissue, respectively. In conclusion, the relationship between RGMa and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis suggests that RGMa has a potential vasoprotective effect. The two identified functional SNPs (rs725458 and rs4778099) we identified in the RGMa promoter are associated with CAB in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident. These findings offer a promising research direction for RGMa-related translational studies on atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Bone is the main supporting structure of the body and the main organ involved in body movement and calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Recent studies have shown that bone is also a potential new endocrine organ that participates in the physiological and pathophysiological processes of the cardiovascular, digestive, and endocrine systems through various bioactive cytokines secreted by bone cells and bone marrow. Bone-derived active cytokines can also directly act on the central nervous system and regulate brain function and individual behavior. The bidirectional regulation of the bone-brain axis has gradually attracted attention in the field of neuroscience. This paper reviews the regulatory effects of bone-derived active cytokines and bone-derived cells on individual brain function and brain diseases, as well as the occurrence and development of related neuropsychiatric diseases. The central regulatory mechanism function is briefly introduced, which will broaden the scope for mechanistic research and help establish prevention and treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric diseases based on the bone-brain axis.
