Heart rate variability (LF, HF) parameters and spirometric indices (FEV<sub>1</sub>) were assessed. Genetic analysis included 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): IL6 rs1800795, VDR rs731236, KCNJ11 rs5219, ADRB2 rs1042713, ADRB2 rs1042714, TRHR rs16892496, MSTN rs1805086, UCP3 rs1800849. <b>Results</b>: In martial artists, the main predictors were genes responsible for adrenoreceptor sensitivity (ADRB2) and neuroimmune interactions (IL6). In hockey players, the most significant predictors were genes involved in muscle growth (MSTN), energy metabolism (UCP3), and neuroendocrine regulation (TRHR). These findings indicate that similar resting HRV parameters in athletes from different sports may be associated with different genetic polymorphisms, reflecting sport-specific physiological adaptations to training loads. <b>Conclusions</b>: The results highlight the sport-specific nature of genetic determinants of autonomic regulation. In martial artists, genes related to the immuno-adrenergic axis (IL6, ADRB2) appear to play a dominant role, whereas in hockey players neuroendocrine, muscle-metabolic, and mitochondrial factors (TRHR, MSTN, UCP3) demonstrate greater influence.

Machine perfusion (MP) has emerged as a paradigm-shifting preservation strategy with the potential to safely expand the usable donor pool. This narrative review examines the current evidence for three MP modalities-hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP), normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), and normothermic regional perfusion (NRP)-across various marginal donor populations, including elderly donors, steatotic grafts, donors with infectious diseases, and split liver transplantation. Current evidence demonstrates that MP significantly increases utilization of steatotic grafts with up to an eightfold rise in usage of severely steatotic organs. HMP consistently reduces non-anastomotic biliary strictures and early allograft dysfunction across donor types, while NMP enables real-time viability assessment and reduces post-reperfusion syndrome in steatotic grafts. NRP shows particular benefit in DCD organs, reducing biliary complications and improving one-year survival. Additionally, MP extends preservation times enabling next-day split liver transplantation and shows promise as a platform for ex situ antiviral therapy. Despite compelling evidence supporting MP in marginal grafts, widespread adoption remains constrained by high costs, logistical complexity, and the absence of standardized protocols. Future progress will require multicenter studies evaluating long-term outcomes alongside consensus-driven implementation frameworks.</p>","PeriodicalId":16722,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personalized Medicine","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13117558/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147774612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Japan, patients undergoing LP shunt surgery are often hospitalized for several days to more than one week after surgery, even in uncomplicated cases, reflecting concerns regarding early complications, cerebrospinal fluid overdrainage, and discharge readiness in older adults. This study evaluated the feasibility and short-term safety of a perioperative optimization pathway for planned short-stay hospitalization after LP shunt surgery. <b>Methods</b>: This single-center retrospective before-and-after cohort study included 15 consecutive patients who underwent elective LP shunt surgery. Six patients were managed using a conventional hospitalization pathway, whereas nine patients were treated under a short-stay pathway targeting discharge after one postoperative night. Key perioperative modifications included a uniform higher initial programmable valve pressure (level 7), structured discharge education, scheduled postoperative analgesia, waterproof wound sealing permitting early showering, and early outpatient follow-up with head computed tomography for staged valve pressure adjustment.
