Abstract
ABSTRACT Malczewska-Lenczowska, J, Orysiak, J, Majorczyk, E, Sitkowski, D, Starczewski, M, and Żmijewski, P. HIF-1α and NFIA-AS2 polymorphisms as potential determinants of total hemoglobin mass in endurance athletes. J Strength Cond Res 36(6): 1596-1604, 2022-The aims of this study were to examine (1) the genotype distribution of rs11549465:C>T of the HIF-1α gene and rs1572312:C>A of the NFIA-AS2 gene; (2) the association between the genes and hematological status in endurance-oriented athletes; and (3) the association between the NFIA-AS2 gene and aerobic capacity in cyclists. Two hundred thirty-eight well-trained athletes (female n = 90, male n = 148) participated in the study. Total hemoglobin mass (tHbmass), blood morphology, intravascular volumes, i.e., erythrocyte volume (EV), blood volume (BV) and plasma volume (PV), and aerobic capacity indices, e.g., peak oxygen uptake (V̇o2peak), and power at anaerobic threshold (PAT) were determined. In both studied genes, the CC genotype was predominant. In the HIF-1α gene, there were no differences in genotype and allele distribution among athletes from different disciplines and between sexes. The distribution of genotypes and alleles of the NFIA-AS2 gene differed significantly in male athletes; the frequency of A allele carriers (CA + AA) was significantly higher in cyclists than in rowers and middle- and long-distance runners. The athletes with CC genotype of NF1A-AS2 had significantly higher relative values of: tHbmass (total female athletes, cyclists), PV, BV (cyclists), and EV (total male athletes, cyclists) and PAT (cyclists) than A allele carriers (CA + AA genotypes). In conclusion, our study indicates that NFIA-AS2 rs1572312:C>A polymorphism was associated with hematological status in endurance athletes, as well as aerobic capacity indices in male cyclists. It suggests that this polymorphism may be a determinant of quantity of hemoglobin and intrtavascular volumes, which in turn can have an impact on aerobic performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. Anti-Müllerian hormone receptor 2 (AMHR2) and C-Kit were two members of protein kinase which were reported increased in some cancers like ovarian carcinoma and breast cancer. The present study aimed to assess the expression of AMHR2 and c-Kit in cervical cancer of different differentiated degrees as well as in cervicitis sections. METHODS All the lesions were collected randomly during clinical observations in hospitals located in Xinjiang, China. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect AMHR2 and c-Kit expression in cervical samples from women who had been infected with human papilloma virus (HPV)16. The expression rate was compared between cervical cancer of well, moderately and poorly differentiated and cervicitis. RESULTS The average age of the patients was 45 years; ranged from 23 to 80. For AMHR2, all 17 cervicitis samples ranged from (++) to (++++), while cervical cancer showed 11 (+), 9 (++), 15 (+++),9 (++++), and 8 (-), which showed AMHR2 expression was lessen with the poorer of differentiation degree of cervical cancer (P < .05). For c-Kit, 18 cervicitis samples mainly expressed as (-) with none showed (+++) or (++++), while cervical cancer samples showed 7 (-), 6 (+), 1 (++), 2 (+++), and 8 (++++), which indicated c-Kit's expression increased with the reduction of cervical cancer's differentiation degree (P < .05). CONCLUSION AMHR2 might have some correlation with self defense of our body, while c-Kit might link with the potential invasive capacity of cervical cancer.

Total hemoglobin mass, aerobic capacity, and the HBB gene in polish road cyclists. J Strength Cond Res 30(12): 3512-3519, 2016-The relationship between genes, amount of hemoglobin, and physical performance are still not clearly defined. The aim of this study was to examine the association between-551C/T and intron 2, +16 C/G polymorphisms in the beta hemoglobin (HBB) gene and total hemoglobin mass (tHbmass) and aerobic capacity in endurance athletes. Total hemoglobin mass and aerobic capacity indices, i.e.,V[Combining Dot Above]O2max, oxygen uptake at anaerobic threshold (V[Combining Dot Above]O2AT), maximal power output (Pmax), and power at anaerobic threshold (PAT) were determined in 89 young road cyclists, female (n = 39) and male (n = 50), who were genotyped for 2 polymorphisms in the HBB gene. The relative values of aerobic capacity indices differed significantly among intron 2, +16 C/G polymorphisms of the HBB gene only in female cyclists; athletes with GG genotype had significantly higher values of V[Combining Dot Above]O2max (p = 0.003), V[Combining Dot Above]O2AT (p = 0.007), PAT (p = 0.015), and Pmax (p = 0.004) than C carriers. No relationships were found between the C-carrier model (CC + CG vs. GG in the case of intron 2, +16 C/G and CC + CT vs. TT for -551 C/T polymorphisms of the HBB gene) and relative values of tHbmass. Our results demonstrated that the HBB gene could be related to aerobic capacity, but it seems that it does not result from an increase in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood.

Abstract
Objective: Cervical cancer is one of the major causes of mortality of Uyghur women in Xinjiang, China. Although increased expression of orexin receptor (OxR), known to be strongly expressed in human placenta, has a proven relation to some cancers, there have been few studies of cervical cancer. Thus, we explored this question by evaluating the expression of orexin receptor as a biomarker for screening early stage of cervical cancer in Uyghur women with highest occurrence rate of cervical cancer in China. Study Design: We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical staining to determine the expression of both Ox1R and Ox2R in cervical cancer and cervicitis biopsies collected from Uyghur women infected with human papilloma virus (HPV)16. The expression rate was compared between cervical cancers of low, intermediate and high differentiation and cervicitis. Results: Although there was no significant difference in the expression rate of Ox1R between groups, Ox2R was significantly overexpressed in cervical cancer patients when compared to the cervicitis group. Ox1R was negative in normal human placenta while Ox2R was positive. Conclusions: While expression of Ox1R had no correlation with invasion or metastatic potential, Ox2R demonstrated elevation in cervical cancer with heterogeneity in groups with different metastatic potential, in the human placenta as well, implying that it might serve as an indicator of invasive capacity along with other indices.

Abstract
This is the annual review of the exercise genomics literature in which we report on the highest quality papers published in 2014. We identified a number of noteworthy papers across a number of fields. In 70-89 yr olds, only 19% of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) II homozygotes exhibited significant improvement in gait speed in response to a yearlong physical activity program compared to 30% of ACE D-allele carriers. New studies continue to support the notion that the genetic susceptibility to obesity, as evidenced by a genomic risk score (GRS; based on multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms), is attenuated by 40%-50% in individuals who are physically active, compared to those who are sedentary. One study reported that the polygenic risk for hypertriglyceridemia was reduced by 30%-40% in individuals with high cardiorespiratory fitness. One report showed that there was a significant interaction of a type 2 diabetes GRS with physical activity, with active individuals having the lowest risk of developing diabetes. The protective effect of physical activity was most pronounced in the low GRS tertile (hazard ratio, 0.82). The interaction observed with the diabetes GRS seemed to be dependent on a genetic susceptibility to insulin resistance and not insulin secretion. A significant interaction between PPARα sequence variants and physical activity levels on cardiometabolic risk was observed, with higher activity levels associated with lower risk only in carriers of specific genotypes and haplotypes. The review concludes with a discussion of the importance of replication studies when very large population or intervention discovery studies are not feasible or are cost prohibitive.

Abstract
Our objective is to highlight some key physiological determinants of endurance exercise performance and to discuss how these can be further improved. V̇o2max remains remarkably stable throughout an athletic career. By contrast, exercise economy, lactate threshold, and critical power may be improved in world-class athletes by specific exercise training regimes and/or with more years of training.
