This paper aimed to systematically evaluate the effects of hypoxic training at different fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂) on body composition, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism in obese individuals, and to determine the optimal oxygen concentration range to provide scientific evidence for personalized and precise hypoxic exercise prescriptions. A systematic search was conducted in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and CNKI databases for randomized controlled trials and pre-post intervention studies published up to March 31, 2025, involving hypoxic training interventions in obese populations. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software to assess the effects of different fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO₂≤14% vs. FiO₂>14%) on BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), with subgroup analyses based on oxygen concentration. A total of 22 studies involving 292 participants were included. Meta-analysis showed that hypoxic training significantly reduced BMI (mean difference (MD)=-2.29,95%CI: -3.42 to -1.17, P<0.000 1), body fat percentage (MD=-2.32, 95%CI: -3.16 to -1.47, P<0.001), waist circumference (MD=-3.79, 95%CI: -6.73 to -0.85, P=0.01), fasting blood glucose (MD=-3.58, 95%CI: -6.23 to -0.93, P=0.008), insulin (MD=-1.60, 95%CI: -2.98 to -0.22, P=0.02), TG (MD=-0.18, 95%CI: -0.25 to -0.12, P<0.001), and LDL-C (MD=-0.25, 95%CI: -0.39 to -0.11, P=0.000 3). Greater improvements were observed under moderate hypoxic conditions with FiO₂>14%. Changes in HOMA-IR (MD=-0.74, 95%CI: -1.52 to 0.04,P=0.06) and HDL-C (MD=-0.09, 95%CI: -0.21 to 0.02, P=0.11) were not statistically significant. Hypoxic training can significantly improve body composition, glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism indicators in obese individuals, with greater benefits observed under moderate hypoxia (FiO>14%). As a key parameter in hypoxic exercise interventions, the precise setting of oxygen concentration is crucial for optimizing intervention outcomes.

Objective To investigate the expression of m6 A methyltransferase-like protein 14(METTL14)in the hippocampus of depression-like mice,and to provide a theoretical basis for further study of the molecular mecha-nism of depression and new drug targets.Methods 1)Twenty-four male C57BL/6J mice were divided into con-trol group and depression model group.The control group was fed normally,and the model group was kept in single animal cage for 4 months and added with Chronic Unpredictable Animal Stress(CUMS)to establish the depression-like model.2)After modeling,depression-like behaviors in model group were tested using forced swimming test(FST),sucrose preference test(SPT)and tail suspension test(TST).3)Twenty-four hours after completion of behavioral test,the hippocampus tissues of mice were collected,and the expression of m6 A methyltransferase-like protein METTL14 in the hippocampus of mice was detected by molecular biology experiments.Results 1)The mice in the model group showed significant depression-like behavior;2)The expression of MET-TL14 in the hippocampus of the model group showed an increased mRNA expression with the increased m6 A modifi-cation.3)In the model group,the expression of METTL14 in hippocampal CA1,CA3 and DG districts increased and there was neuronal damage found.Conclusions m6 A methylation function has been proved to be more active in the hippocampus of depressed mice.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression with the time change of N6-methyladenosine(m6A)methylation-related factors in the repair process of skeletal muscle injury and its mechanism in the inflammatory response of macrophage in the injure process.Methods In vivo mice models of BaCl2 injury in the gastrocnemius were established.Four mice per group in the control group and injury group.Gastrocnemius tissues were harvested at day 1,3,5,7,and 9 after injury for experiments.Primary gastrocnemius muscle tissue cells,muscle satellite cells,muscle cells,and cell line C2C12 cells were treated with dexamethasone(DEX,50 μmol/L)to mimic injury.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS,100 μg/L)induced RAW264.7 cell lines to mimic the inflammatory response after skeletal muscle injury,and STM2457(30 μmol/L)was added to inhibit the effect of methyltransferase 3(Mettl3)before LPS treatment.The expression of m6A methylation-related factors(Writers,Erasers,Readers)and inflammation factors were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blotting.Results The muscle fibers were dissolved and then gradually repaired with the extension of injury time,the number of monocytes/macrophages increased first and then decreased,and the Pax7 mRNA level increased first and then decreased with the change of injury time.Compared with the control group,the mRNA and protein levels of m6A methylation-related factors in gastrocnemius did not change significantly on the injury-1 day.However,they were significantly increased on the injury-3 days compared with the control group(P＜0.05),and then obviously decreased on the injury-5 days group compared with the injury-3 days group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,they were no significant differences on the injury-7 days group and-9 days group.In vitro DEX decreased the mRNA levels of m6A methyltransferase factors in primary muscle satellite cells and C2C12 cells and increased the mRNA expression level of methylation-recognition enzyme factors(P＜0.05).The mRNA levels of m6A methylation-related factors increased significantly in skeletal muscle tissue cells and myocytes after DEX treatment(P＜0.05).After LPS treatment,the mRNA and protein expression levels of m6A methylation-related factors and the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β in macrophages increased significantly(P＜0.05),while the levels of IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA in macrophages decreased significantly when the Mettl3 was inhibited(P＜0.05).Conclusion m6A methylation-related factors primarily is activated in the damaged muscle cells and inflammation response of macrophages.Inhibition of m6A methyltransferase can reduce the inflammatory response of macrophages.

Objective To study the changes of volume and cognitive function in hypothalamic subregions based on automated MRI segmentation at various stages of adult life and the correlation between them.Methods Totally 314 healthy subjects aged 20-89 years old were selected from the public database of Dallas Lifespan Brain Study(DLBS),and then divided into a youth group(20-35 years old),an early-middle age group(36-50 years old),a late-middle age group(51-65 years old)and an elderly age group(66-89 years old).The structural magnetic resonance imaging(sMRI)images of the 314 subjects were treated with Freesurfer software to determine the volumes of the anterosuperior,anterior-inferior,middle-superior,middle-inferior and posterior subregions of the right and left sides of the hypothalamus.Differences in hypothalamic subregion volumes between the 4 groups were compared using analysis of covariance,and multiple comparisons between the 4 groups were performed using Bonferroni correction.Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to analyze the correlations of the hypothalamic subregion volumes with the scores of mini mental state examination(MMSE),digit comparison(DC)test,digit symbol(DS)test,and Hopkins verbal learning test(HVLT).Results The volumes of all the hypothalamic subregions except the right anterior inferior part decreased significantly with age(P＜0.05).All the hypothalamic subregions except the right anterior inferior part had the volumes correlated with MMSE scores positively(P＜0.05);the DC test scores were correlated positively with all the hypothalamic subregion volumes(P＜0.05);the DS test scores were correlated positively with the volumes of the hypothalamic subregions except the bilateral anterior-inferior part(P＜0.05);the scores of HVLT immediate memory test were positively correlated with the anterior-superior,middle-superior and posterior subregion volumes of the right and left sides of the hypothalamus(P＜0.05);the scores of HVLT delayed memory test were correlated positively with the volumes of the bilat-eral anterior-superior and left-middle-superior subregions(P＜0.05);the scores of HVLT delayed recognition test did not cor-relate with all the hypothalamic subregions(P＞0.05);the volumes of the bilateral hypothalamus were positively correlated with the scores of MMSE,DC test,DS test and HVLT immediate memory test(P＜0.05).Conclusion Volume changes in some hy-pothalamic subregions are associated with age-related memory decline during adult aging,which can be used to assess the risk of memory loss throughout adulthood.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2024,45(5):8-15]

Objective To compare the efficacy of renal proximal renal artery denervation(pRDN)and full-length renal artery denervation(fRDN)for treatment of hypertension.Methods Fifty-six hypertensive patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to full-length renal artery denervation group(n=25)and proximal renal artery denervation group(n=31).After the procedure,24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(24 h-ABPM)at 6 months and office blood pressure at 12 months was recorded for statistical analysis.Results The blood pressure at follow-up reduced significantly in both groups,while there was no significant difference between groups.The baseline office blood pressure in fRDN group and pRDN group was(180±15)/(104±10)mmHg and(180±12)/(103±8)mmHg,respectively,which decreased to(142±9)/(82±7)mmHg and(143±10)/(83±6)mmHg at 12 months postoperatively(P＜0.001 within groups and P＞0.05 between groups).The baseline 24 h-ABPM in the two groups was(162±13)/(95±8)mmHg and(160±12)/(94±8)mmHg,respectively,which decreased to(142±11)/(83±7)mmHg and(141±8)/(81±7)mmHg at 6 months postoperatively(P＜0.001 within groups and P＞0.05 between groups).However,there was no significant difference in the reduction of office blood pressure and ambulatory blood pressure between the two groups.No treatment-related adverse events were observed.Conclusions pRDN has similar antihypertensive effect to fRDN.
