| 3 | Effect of Lepidium meyenii (maca) roots on spermatogenesis of male rats显示文摘Aim: To determine the effect of oral administration of an aqueous extract from the roots of Lepidium meyenii (maca)on spermatogenesis in adult male rats. Methods: Male rats received an aqueous extract of the root (66.7 mg in one mL) twice a day for 14 consecutive days. Results: Treatment with Lepidium meyenii resulted in an increase in the weights of testis and epididymis but not the seminal vesicle weight. The length and frequency of stages IX-XIV seminiferous tubules, where mitosis occurred, were increased and stages Ⅰ-Ⅵ were reduced in rats treated with Lepidium meyenii. Conclusion: The Lepidium meyenii root invigorates spermatogenesis in male rats by acting on its initial stages (IX-XIV). | Gustavo F.Gonzales Ana Ruiz Carla Gonzales León Villegas Amanda Cordova | 2001 | Asian Journal of Andrology2001,3,3: | 22 |
| 4 | Lepidium meyenii (Maca) improved semen parameters in adult men显示文摘Aim: The present study was designed to determine the effect of a 4-month oral treatment with tablets of Lepidium meyenii (Maca) on seminal analysis in nine adult normal men aged 24 - 44 years old. Methods: Nine men received tablets of Maca (1500 or 3000 mg/day) for 4 months. Seminal analysis was performed according to guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO). Serum luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin (PRL), testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) were measured before and after treatment. Results: Treatment with Maca resulted in increased seminal volume, sperm count per ejaculum, motile sperm count, and sperm motility. Serum hormone levels were not modified with Maca treatment. Increase of sperm count was not related to dose of Maca.Conclusion: Maca improved sperm production and sperm motility by mechanisms not related to LH, FSH, PRL, T and E2 . | Gustavo F.Gonzales Amanda Cordova Carla Gonzales Arturo Chung Karla Vega Arturo Villena | 2001 | Asian Journal of Andrology2001,3,4: | 23 |
| 5 | Efficacy of long term cyclic administration of the poorly absorbed antibiotic Rifaximin in symptomatic,uncomplicated colonic diverticular disease显示文摘AIM: To comparatively evaluate the long term efficacy of Rifaximin and dietary fibers in reducing symptoms and/or complication frequency in symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease. METHODS: 307 patients (118 males, 189 females, age range: 40-80 years) were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to: Rifaximin (400 mg bid for 7 d every month) plus dietary fiber supplementation (at least 20 gr/d) or dietary fiber supplementation alone. The study duration was 24 mo; both clinical examination and symptoms’ questionnaire were performed every two months. RESULTS: Both treatments reduced symptom frequency, but Rifaximin at a greater extent, when compared to basal values. Symptomatic score declined during both treatments, but a greater reduction was evident in the Rifaximin group (6.4 ± 2.8 and 6.2 ± 2.6 at enrollment, P = NS, 1.0 ± 0.7 and 2.4 ± 1.7 after 24 mo, P < 0.001, respectively). Probability of symptom reduction was higher and complication frequency lower (Kaplan-Meyer method) in the Rifaximin group (P < 0.0001 and 0.028, respectively). CONCLUSION: In patients with symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease, cyclic administration of Rifaximin plus dietary fiber supplementation is more effective in reducing both symptom and complication frequency than simple dietary fiber supplementation. Long term administration of the poorly absorbed antibiotic Rifaximin is safe and well tolerated by the patients,confirming the usefulness of this therapeutic strategy in the overall management of diverticular disease. | Antonio Colecchia Amanda Vestito Francesca Pasqui Giuseppe Mazzella Enrico Roda Francesca Pistoia Giovanni Brandimarte Davide Festi | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,2: | 21 |
| 6 | Epidemiological study: Correlation between diet habits and constipation among elderly in Beijing region显示文摘AIM To investigate correlations between diet and prevalence of constipation among elderly people in Beijing.METHODS A total of 2776(≥ 60 years) were selected in Beijing region for investigation. Data regarding constipation and diet habits was collected via hierarchical status, segmentation and random cluster sampling. Investigation included constipation-related demographic indicators and diet habits. Door-to-door questionnaires and surveys included daily staple food intakes, frequency of fish, egg, fruits and vegetables consumption. Constipation was defined according to the China Chronic Constipation Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline(2013), with the following constipation judgment indicators: decreased defecation frequency, dry and hard stool, and difficulty in defecation.RESULTS The prevalence of constipation among elderly people in Beijing region was 13%. There was a positive correlation between prevalence of constipation and age, but negative correlations between prevalence of constipation and staple food, fish and dietary fibres(fruits and vegetables) intakes. These differences were all statistically significant.CONCLUSION The prevalence of elderly constipation in Beijing region is closely related to diet habits, and is significantly decreased by high staple foods intake, fish eating and high dietary fibres(fruits and vegetables) consumption. | Xiao-Jiao Yang Mei Zhang Hong-Ming Zhu Zhe Tang Dan-Dan Zhao Bang-Yi Li Amanda Gabriel | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,39: | 19 |
| 7 | Update on minimally invasive surgery and benign prostatic hyperplasia显示文摘Transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)became the gold standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic obstruction without undergoing randomized controlled trials against the predecessor standard in open suprapubic prostatectomy.TURP has historically been associated with significant morbidity and this has fuelled the development of minimally invasive surgical treatment options.Improvements in perioperative morbidity for TURP has been creating an ever increasing standard that must be met by any new technologies that are to be compared to this gold standard.Over recent years,there has been the emergence of novel minimally invasive treatments such as the prostatic urethral lift(PUL;UroLift System),convective WAter Vapor Energy(WAVE;Rezum System),Aquablation(AQUABEAM System),Histotripsy(Vortx Rx System)and temporary implantable nitinol device(TIND).Intraprostatic injections(NX-1207,PRX-302,botulinum toxin A,ethanol)have mostly been used with limited efficacy,but may be suitable for selected patients.This review evaluates these novel minimally invasive surgical options with special reference to the literature published in the past 5 years. | Amanda S.J.Chung Henry H.Woo | 2018 | Asian Journal of Urology2018,5,1: | 18 |

| 10 | Reforestation Programs in Southwest China:Reported Success,Observed Failure, and the Reasons Why显示文摘Ever since the disastrous floods of 1998, the Chinese government has used the Natural Forest Protection and Sloping Land Conversion Programs to promote afforestation and reforestation as means to reduce runoff, control erosion, and stabilize local livelihoods. These two ambitious programs have been reported as large-scale successes, contributing to an overall increase in China’s forest cover and to the stated goals of environmental stabilization. A small-scale field study at the project level of the implementation of these two programs in Baiwu Township, Yanyuan County, Sichuan, casts doubt upon the accuracy and reliability of these claims of success; ground observations revealed utter failure in some sites and only marginal success in others. Reasons for this discrepancy are posited as involving ecological, economic, and bureaucratic factors. Further research is suggested to determine whether these discrepancies are merely local aberrations or represent larger-scale failures in reforestation programs. | Christine Jane Trac Stevan Harrell Thomas M.

| 12 | Glycemic index,glycemic load and insulinemic index of Chinese starchy foods显示文摘AIM:To determine the glycemic index(GI),glycemic load(GL)and insulinemic index(Ⅱ)of five starchy foods that are commonly used in Chinese diets.METHODS:Ten healthy subjects aged between 20-30 years were recruited.Each subject was asked to consume 50 g of available carbohydrate portions of test foods and reference food.Finger capillary blood samples were collected at the start of eating and 15,30,45,60,90 and 120 min after consumption.The GI and Ⅱ of foods were calculated from the ratio of incremental area under the glucose/insulin response curves of test and reference foods.The GL for each test food was determined from its GI value and carbohydrate content.RESULTS:The results showed that brown rice elicited the highest postprandial glucose and insulin responses,followed by taro,adlay,yam and mung bean noodles,which produced the lowest.Among the five starchy foods,brown rice evoked the highest GI and GL at 82±0.2 and 18±0.2,followed by taro(69±0.4,12±0.2),adlay(55±0.4,10±0.2),yam(52±0.3,9±0.0)and mung bean noodles(28±0.5,7±0.2),respectively.The Ⅱ values of the test foods corresponded with GI values.Similarly,brown rice gave the highest Ⅱ at 81±0.1,followed by taro(73±0.3),adlay(67±0.3),yam(64±0.5) and mung bean noodles(38±0.3).All five starchy foods had lower GI,GL and Ⅱ than reference bread(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The GI,GL and Ⅱ values of starchy foods provide important information for the public to manage their diet and could be useful for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus. | Meng-Hsueh Amanda Lin Shin Lu Jenshinn Lin | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,39: | 12 |
| 13 | Fundamental motor skills,screen-time,and physical activity in preschoolers显示文摘Purpose: To examine the associations among preschoolers fundamental motor skills, screen-time, physical activity(PA), and sedentary behavior(SB).Methods: Children ages 3à4 years were enrolled in a prospective observational trial of PA. Trained assessors conducted the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 rd edition(TGMD-3), and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 nd edition, and parent-reported child screen-time and sociodemographic information. Children wore an accelerometer for 7 days to examine SB and total PA(TPA). TPA was further characterized as moderateto-vigorous PA(MVPA) or vigorous PA(VPA). Mixed linear models were calculated, controlling for age(for TGMD-3), sex, household income, and accelerometer wear time(for accelerometry models), with childcare center as a random effect. The primary analysis reported on the cross-sectional baseline data of 126 children with complete fundamental motor skill and screen-time data; a subanalysis included 88 children with complete accelerometry data.Results: Children were 3.4 § 0.5 years of age(54% girls; 46% white, 42% African American, 12% other). A total of 48% lived in households at or below the federal poverty level. Children engaged in 5.1 § 3.6 h/day of screen-time. Children's screen-time was inversely related to the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 nd edition, manual dexterity skills percentile(b(SE) = ?1.7(0.8), p = 0.049). In the accelerometry subsample,children engaged in 5.9 § 0.9 h/day of TPA of which 1.7 § 0.6 h/day was MVPA. Boys engaged in more MVPA and VPA and less SB compared with girls(all p < 0.05). A higher TGMD-3, total score(b(SE) = 0.4(0.2), p = 0.017) and locomotor score(b(SE) = 0.7(0.3), p = 0.018) were associated with more VPA but not with TPA or MVPA. Screen-time and television in the bedroom were not related to SB, TPA, MVPA, or VPA.Conclusion: Children's motor skills were positively related to VPA but inversely related to screen-time. Further inquiry into the implications of high exposure to screen-time in young children is needed. | E.Kipling Webster Corby K.Martin Amanda E.Staiano | 2019 | Journal of Sport and Health Science2019,8,2: | 12 |
| 14 | Augmenting peripheral nerve regeneration using stem cells: A review of current opinion显示文摘Outcomes following peripheral nerve injury remain frustratingly poor. The reasons for this are multifactorial, although maintaining a growth permissive environment in the distal nerve stump following repair is arguably the most important. The optimal environment for axonal regeneration relies on the synthesis and release of many biochemical mediators that are temporally and spatially regulated with a high level of incompletely understood complexity. The Schwann cell(SC) has emerged as a key player in this process. Prolonged periods of distal nerve stump denervation, characteristic of large gaps and proximal injuries, have been associated with a reduction in SC number and ability to support regenerating axons. Cell based therapy offers a potential therapy for the improvement of outcomes following peripheral nerve reconstruction. Stem cells have the potential to increase the number of SCs and prolong their ability to support regeneration. They may also have the ability to rescue and replenish populations of chromatolytic and apoptotic neurons following axotomy. Finally, they can be used in non-physiologic ways to preserve injured tissues such as denervated muscle while neuronal ingrowth has not yet occurred. Aside from stem cell type, careful consideration must be given to differentiation status, how stem cells are supported following transplantation and how they will be delivered to the site of injury. It is the aim of this article to review current opinions on the strategies of stem cell based therapy for the augmentation of peripheral nerve regeneration. | Neil G Fairbairn Amanda M Meppelink Joanna Ng-Glazier Mark A Randolph Jonathan M Winograd | 2015 | World Journal of Stem Cells2015,7,1: | 12 |
| 15 | Complex role for the immune system in initiation and progression of pancreatic cancer显示文摘The immune system plays a complex role in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. Inflammation can promote the formation of premalignant lesions and accelerate pancreatic cancer development. Conversely, pancreatic cancer is characterized by an immunosuppressive environment, which is thought to promote tumor progression and invasion. Here we review the current literature describing the role of the immune response in the progressive development of pancreatic cancer, with a focus on the mechanisms that drive recruitment and activation of immune cells at the tumor site, and our current understanding of the function of the immune cell types at the tumor. Recent clinical and preclinical data are reviewed, detailing the involvement of the immune response in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, including the role of specific cytokines and implications for disease outcome. Acute pancreatitis is characterized by a predominantly innate immune response, while chronic pancreatitis elicits an immune response that involves both innate and adaptive immune cells, and often results in profound sys-temic immune-suppression. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is characterized by marked immune dysfunction driven by immunosuppressive cell types, tumor-promoting immune cells, and defective or absent inflammatory cells. Recent studies reveal that immune cells interact with cancer stem cells and tumor stromal cells, and these interactions have an impact on development and progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC). Finally, current PDAC therapies are reviewed and the potential for harnessing the actions of the immune response to assist in targeting pancreatic cancer using immunotherapy is discussed. | Kristin S Inman Amanda A Francis Nicole R Murray | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,32: | 11 |

| 17 | Contractile apparatus dysfunction early in the pathophysiology of diabetic cardiomyopathy显示文摘Diabetes mellitus significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart failure in patients.Independent of hypertension and coronary artery disease,diabetes is associated with a specific cardiomyopathy,known as diabetic cardiomyopathy(DCM).Four decades of research in experimental animal models and advances in clinical imaging techniques suggest that DCM is a progressive disease,beginning early after the onset of type 1 and type 2 diabetes,ahead of left ventricular remodeling and overt diastolic dysfunction.Although the molecular pathogenesis of early DCM still remains largely unclear,activation of protein kinase C appears to be central in driving the oxidative stress dependent and independent pathways in the development of contractile dysfunction.Multiple subcellular alterations to the cardiomyocyte are now being highlighted as critical events in the early changes to the rate of force development,relaxation and stability under pathophysiological stresses.These changes include perturbed calcium handling,suppressed activity of aerobic energy producing enzymes,altered transcriptional and posttranslational modification of membrane and sarcomeric cytoskeletal proteins,reduced actin-myosin cross-bridge cycling and dynamics,and changed myofilament calcium sensitivity.In this review,we will present and discuss novel aspects of the molecular pathogenesis of early DCM,with a special focus on the sarcomeric contractile apparatus. | Mark T Waddingham Amanda J Edgley Hirotsugu Tsuchimochi Darren J Kelly Mikiyasu Shirai James T Pearson | 2015 | World Journal of Diabetes2015,6,7: | 10 |

| 19 | Isolation of circulating tumor cells in non-small-cell-lung-cancer patients using a multi-flow microfluidic channel显示文摘Circulating tumor cells(CTCs)carry a wealth of information on primary and metastatic tumors critical for precise cancer detection,monitoring,and treatment.Numerous microfluidic platforms have been developed in the past few years to capture these rare cells in patient bloodstream for deciphering the critical information needed.However,the practical need for a high-quality method of CTC isolation remains to be met.Herein,we demonstrate a novel multi-flow microfluidic device that is able to sensitively provide high purity(>87%)of separation outcome without labeling.Our device is constructed and configured based on the phenomenal effect of size-dependent inertial migration.The recovery rate of>93%has been achieved using spiked cancer cells at clinically relevant concentrations(10 cells per 5 mL and above).We have also successfully detected CTCs from 6 out of 8 non-small-cell-lung-cancer(NSCLC)patients,while none for 5 healthy control subjects.With these results,we envision our approach is a promising alternative for reliable CTC capture,and thus for facilitating the progress of extracting information from CTCs to personalize treatment strategies for solid tumor patients. | Jian Zhou Arutha Kulasinghe Amanda Bogseth Ken O’Byrne Chamindie Punyadeera Ian Papautsky | 2019 | Microsystems & Nanoengineering2019,5,1: | 9 |
| 20 | Twelve weeks of dance exergaming in overweight and obese adolescent girls:Transfer effects on physical activity,screen time,and self-efficacy显示文摘Background: Given the low levels of physical activity(PA) among adolescent girls in the US, there is a need to identify tools to motivate increased PA. Although there is limited evidence that adolescents transfer PA from one context to another, exergames(i.e., video games that require gross motor activity) may act as a gateway to promote overall PA outside game play. The purpose of this study was to examine potential transfer effects(i.e., influences on external behaviors and psychological constructs) of a 12-week exergaming intervention on adolescent girls' PA, screen time,and self-efficacy toward PA, as well as the intrinsic motivation of exergaming.Methods: Participants were 37 girls aged 14–18 years(65% African American, 35% white) who were overweight or obese(body mass index ≥ 85 th percentile) and were recruited from the community via school, physicians, news media, and social media websites. Adolescents were randomly assigned to a 12-week group exergaming intervention(thirty-six 60 min sessions of group-based dance exergaming in a research laboratory using Kinect for Xbox360(Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA)) or to a no-treatment control group. Outcome variables included objectively measured PA(total) and self-reported leisure-time PA(discretionary time only) 1 week before vs. 1 week after the intervention; selected type and intensity of PA when placed in a gym setting for 30 min('cardio free choice'); screen time; self-efficacy toward PA; and intrinsic motivation toward exergaming.Results: Attendance at the exergaming sessions was high(80%). Compared with the control group, the intervention group self-reported an increase in PA(p = 0.035) and fewer hours watching television or videos(p = 0.01) after the intervention, but there were no significant differences in sedentary, light, moderate, or vigorous PA measured by accelerometry. The intervention group significantly improved self-efficacy toward PA(p = 0.028). The intervention group highly rated intrinsic motivation toward exergaming.Conclusion: Exergaming for 12 weeks was associated with positive impacts on adolescent girls' self-reported PA, television viewing, self-efficacy,and intrinsic motivation. Future research is warranted to leverage exergames as an enjoyable, motivating, and effective PA tool. | Amanda E.Staiano Robbie A.Beyl Daniel S.Hsia Peter T.Katzmarzyk Robert L.Newton Jr | 2017 | Journal of Sport and Health Science2017,6,1: | 9 |
