The aims of the present study are to determine miRNA expression signature in rat hearts after ischaemic preconditioning (IP) and identify an IP-regulated miRNA, miR-21, IP-mediated cardiac protection, potential cellular molecular mechanisms involved. was investigated hearts. Among 341 arrayed miRNAs, 40 miRNAs were differentially expressed (21 up 19 down) with IP, compared their controls. Some these further verified by quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction. Remarkably,...

Abstract Background Whether healthy older people can benefit from cognitive training (CogTr) remains controversial. This study explored the benefits of CogTr in community dwelling, healthy, adults and compared effects single-domain with multi-domain interventions. Methods A randomized, controlled, 3-month trial double-blind assessments at baseline immediate, 6-month 12-month follow-up after completion was conducted. total 270 Chinese people, 65 to 75 years old, were recruited Ganquan-area...

Neuroimaging studies have documented that ageing can disrupt certain higher cognitive systems such as the default mode network (DMN), salience (SN) and central executive (CEN). The effect of training on remains unclear. This study used a one-year longitudinal design to explore three networks in healthy older adults. community-living adults were divided into two groups: multi-domain group (24 sessions over three-month period) wait-list control group. All subjects underwent measurements...

The neural mechanisms underlying the restorative effects of cognitive training on aging brains remain unclear. To address this issue, we examined relationship between changes in spontaneous brain activity and performance that occur after training.Participants were older adults who part a randomized control trial within larger longitudinal study. We conducted single-domain multi-domain two respective intervention groups. Participants trained for 1 h, twice week, 12 weeks. Cognition was...

Emerging evidence indicates the beneficial effects of physical exercise on human health, which depends intensity, training time, type, environmental factors and personal health status. Conventional biomarkers provide limited insight into exercise-induced adaptive processes. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are dynamically regulated in response to acute exhaustive sustained rowing, running cycling exercises. However, circulating miRNAs long-term basketball remains unknown. Here, we...
