It has been more than 30 years since adipose tissue (AT) has been recognized as a central modulator orchestrating sophisticated process termed "immunometabolism". Nonetheless, despite its unique involvement in the regulation of immune and endocrine homeostasis, recent studies demonstrated that AT also contains significant number of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) that may be there "settling down" throughout life. In this article we will focus on presenting the current concepts regarding endocrine, immunological, and molecular mechanisms that may contribute to and regulate bone marrow (BM)-derived HSPCs homing into AT environment, as well as, highlight various structural and morphological similarities between BM and AT that might be involved in creating appropriate tissue niches for BM-derived HSPCs in AT. Finally, we will discuss how development of obesity or type 2 diabetes may influence balance of homing signals for HSPCs in AT environment.Obesity (2012) 20, 923-931.
The COL1A1 and COL5A1 variants have been associated with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to investigate the association between three polymorphisms within two genes (rs1800012 in COL1A1, as well as rs12722 and rs13946 in COL5A1) and the reported, yet rarely described in the literature, injuries of the joint and muscle area in a physically active Caucasian population. Polish students (n = 114) were recruited and divided into the following two groups: students with (n = 53) and without (n = 61) injures. Genotyping was carried out using real-time PCR. The results obtained revealed a statistically significant association between rs1800012 COL1A1 and injury under an overdominant model. Specifically, when adjusted for age and sex, the GT heterozygotes had a 2.2 times higher chance of being injured compared with both homozygotes (TT and GG, 95% CI 0.59–5.07, p = 0.040). However, no significant interaction between the COL5A1 variants, either individually or in haplotype combination, and susceptibility to injury were found. In addition, the gene–gene interaction analysis did not reveal important relationships with the musculoskeletal injury status. It was demonstrated that rs1800012 COL1A1 may be positively associated with physical activity-related injuries in a Caucasian population. Harboring the specific GT genotype may be linked to a higher risk of being injured.
Constant improvements in treatment options for end stage renal disease leads to increasing numbers of patients qualified for renal transplantation. The best results are obtained with pre-emptive transplantation allowing avoidance of dialysis. The most common cause of death in patients awaiting kidney transplantation is cardiovascular disease. Every second dialysis death is a consequence of cardiovascular disease. Hypertension, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and obesity are commonly diagnosed. Numerous scientific studies confirm the positive effects of physical activity on reducing the risk of death from cardiovascular incident. The recommendation of moderate activity (adjusted to the ability of the patient) would improve the functioning of patients, and would have a substantial impact on the self-reported quality of life.

ABSTRAKTCiągłe doskonalenie metod leczenia pacjentów ze schyłkową niewydolnością nerek powoduje, że stale powiększa się grupa chorych zakwalifikowanych do operacji przeszczepienia narządu. Najkorzystniejsze jest wykonanie zabiegu wyprzedzającego, pozwalającego uniknąć hemodializoterapii. Najczęstszą przyczyną zgonów w grupie pacjentów oczekujących na transplantację nerki są choroby układu sercowo-naczyniowego. Obecnie co drugi zgon dializowanego pacjenta jest następstwem choroby układu krążenia. Powszechnie diagnozowane są: nadciśnienie tętnicze, miażdżyca, hiperlipidemia czy otyłość. Liczne badania potwierdzają pozytywny wpływ aktywności fizycznej na zmniejszenie ryzyka zgonu z powodu incydentu kardiologicznego. Zalecenie umiarkowanej aktywności (dostosowanej do możliwości chorego) przyczyniłoby się do poprawy funkcjonowania chorych, przyspieszyłoby powrót do sprawności po zabiegu transplantacji oraz miałoby niebagatelny wpływ na subiektywną ocenę jakości życia. Pomimo istnienia doniesień naukowych ukazujących pozytywny wpływ rehabilitacji na stan zdrowia pacjentów z przewlekłą niewydolnością nerek, nie jest ona powszechnie wprowadzana do programów leczenia. Słowa kluczowe: przewlekła niewydolność nerek; aktywność fizyczna; rehabilitacja; fizjoterapia. WSTĘPDo głównych przyczyn wystąpienia schyłkowego stadium przewlekłej choroby nerek (PChN) zalicza się: cukrzycową chorobę nerek, nefropatię nadciśnieniową, glomerulopatie wtórne i pierwotne, torbielowatość nerek i sródmiąższowe zapalenie nerek [1,2]. Obecnie dostępne są dwa rodzaje leczenia PChN: dializoterapia oraz transplantacja narządu. Obie metody umożliwiają zastąpienie funkcji nerek u pacjentów w piątym stadium PChN.W 2010 r. na całym świecie było ponad 2,5 mln osób korzystających z leczenia nerkozastępczego, a w Polsce ok. 25 tys. Dializoterapia to najczęściej stosowana metoda leczenia PChN. Liczba osób korzystających z tego typu terapii stale rośnie, co związane jest z rozpowszechnieniem tej metody w krajach rozwijających się [3]. Pomimo postępu nauk medycznych wciąż nie udaje się uniknąć wielu działań niepożądanych występu-jących podczas przew...
Physiotherapy in oncology is a process closely related to cancer treatment methods. Rehabilitation is based on physical activity in various forms involving the musculoskeletal system but also affects the emotional state. Physical activity influences physical and psychological well-being of people undergoing oncological treatment, in the course of which the most common psychiatric disorders are depression, substance use disorder, sleep disorders, fatigue syndrome, resulting in worsening of the quality of life. Difficulties in implementing physical exercise in cancer patients pose a challenge to treatment teams.
Introduction: The aim of the dissertation was to compare the psychophysical state of people over 50 years of age from different societies.Material and methods: The first group consisted of 30 care home residents, the second group consisted of 30 participants of Active Senior Fair. In the research, two scales were applied: Mini‑Mental State Examination, measuring the mental state, and Instrumental Activity of Daily Living, measuring agility in the field of complex everyday tasks.Conclusiona: The study indicates the difference in the psychophysical state of both researched groups. The results may be connected with both age difference between groups and different living environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
