Second, to address the issue of inaccurate classification due to minimal differences between different severity levels, a mixed attention mechanism was introduced to make the model focus more on the crucial features of the lesions. Finally, to better extract the morphological features of the lesions in DR images, cross-layer fusion convolutions were used instead of the conventional residual structure. To validate the effectiveness of the improved model, it was applied to the Kaggle Blindness Detection competition dataset APTOS2019. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model achieved a classification accuracy of 97.75% and a Kappa value of 0.971 7 for the five DR severity levels.

This article explores the effects of different frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (bTMS) on memory function and neuronal excitability in mice from the perspective of neuroelectrophysiology. In this experiment, 42 Kunming mice aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into pseudo stimulation group and stimulation groups. The stimulation group included rTMS stimulation groups with different frequencies (1, 5, 10 Hz), and bTMS stimulation groups with different frequencies (1, 5, 10 Hz). Among them, the stimulation group received continuous stimulation for 14 days. After the stimulation, the mice underwent new object recognition and platform jumping experiment to test their memory ability. Subsequently, brain slice patch clamp experiment was conducted to analyze the excitability of granulosa cells in the dentate gyrus (DG) of mice. The results showed that compared with the pseudo stimulation group, high-frequency (5, 10 Hz) rTMS and bTMS could improve the memory ability and neuronal excitability of mice, while low-frequency (1 Hz) rTMS and bTMS have no significant effect. For the two stimulation modes at the same frequency, their effects on memory function and neuronal excitability of mice have no significant difference. The results of this study suggest that high-frequency TMS can improve memory function in mice by increasing the excitability of hippocampal DG granule neurons.

EPOC is linearly related to exercise duration and exponentially related to exercise intensity. It is commonly believed that near-maximal intensity interval training prompts the body to produce greater EPOC. This review focuses on the origin and development of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), analyzes its concept, classification and function, and discusses its effects on human EPOC. HIIT promotes a significant increase in EPOC during the fast recovery period, whereas the changes of EPOC during the slow recovery period are still inconclusive; Sprint interval training (SIT) promotes a significant increase in EPOC throughout the whole recovery period. Compared with HIIT, the body's energy expenditure and oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2</sub>) increase significantly during moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), but the total energy expenditure and VO<sub>2</sub> during exercise and 24 h of recovery period are similar between the two types of exercises, indicating that greater EPOC is generated during the recovery period of HIIT. The mechanisms by which interval training improves EPOC include increasing lung ventilation and catecholamine secretion, accelerating systemic circulation, increasing body temperature, promoting glycogen resynthesis, rapid recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers and uncoupling of mitochondrial respiration, up-regulating hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha and skeletal muscle protein, as well as improving intestinal flora.</p>","PeriodicalId":7134,"journal":{"name":"生理学报","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142520683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mouse hippocampal neuron HT22 cells were exposed to IH for different durations (1% O<sub>2</sub> for 7 min/21% O<sub>2</sub> for 3 min, one cycle for 10 min). Cell viability was detected by CCK-8. EPO content in the supernatant of cell culture medium was detected by ELISA kit, and the protein expression was detected by Western blot. EPO receptor (EPOR) protein expression was detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Cellular apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by the corresponding kits. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by DCFH probe, and expression levels of JAK2-STAT5 signaling pathway-related proteins were detected by Western blot. The results showed that IH exposure significantly decreased HT22 cell activity. EPO and EPOR protein expressions were significantly up-regulated at 12 h of IH exposure, but down-regulated at 24 and 48 h. In IH-treated HT22 cells, exogenous EPO significantly increased cell activity and mitochondrial membrane potential, decreased ROS levels and cell apoptosis, up-regulated Nrf-2 and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) protein expression levels, decreased Cleaved-Caspase-3/Caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2 ratios, and promoted the phosphorylation of JAK2-STAT5 pathway-related proteins.

However, cerebral ischemia can result in significant impairment of lysosomal function, subsequently leading to disruption in autophagy flow and exacerbation of neuronal injury. This review elucidates the mechanism of autophagic flux injury resulting from lysosomal dysfunction induced by impaired fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes, alterations in the acidic environment within lysosomes, and diminished biosynthesis of lysosomes following ischemic stroke.
