Brain plasticity associated with prolonged shooting training: a multimodal neuroimaging investigation from a cross-sectional study by Keying Zhang, Tao Zhao, Yu Ding, Jia Cheng, Chunmei Cao

“…BackgroundAlthough training has been recognized as a potential contributor to neuroplasticity in athletes, the impact of prolonged shooting training on human brain plasticity remains unclear in the existing literature.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, we used a multimodal neuroimaging analysis, including the analysis of functional blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, structural T1-weighted MRI images, and diffusion MRI images, to systematically identify differences between elite shooters and normal controls.ResultsThe results showed that compared to male normal controls, male elite shooters had higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, precuneus, thalamus, and cingulate gyrus, as well as higher functional connectivity between the medial frontal cortex (MedFC) and temporooccipital middle temporal gyrus (toMTG). …”

Neuroprotective Effects of Metformin and Berberine in Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Sickness-Like Behaviour in Mice by Triveni Kodi, Sharanya Praveen, Sravan Kumar Paka, Runali Sankhe, Adarsh Gopinathan, Nandakumar Krishnadas, Anoop Kishore

“…Then, proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α), acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE), and oxidative stress markers were estimated in the brain homogenate. In the LPS control group, immobility state, proinflammatory cytokines, AChE, and lipid peroxidation were significantly increased, whereas the glutathione levels were decreased. …”

Influence of Segment Shape Optimization Parameter in Radiotherapy Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Planning of Cervical Cancer by Nidhi Jain, Alok Kumar, Ashok Kumar

“…All Dosimetric parameters have been measured and analysed for Planning Target Volume (PTV) and Organ at risk (OAR) dose, Monitor Unit (MU), memory, Plan Delivery Time (PDT), and Gamma Passing Rate (GPR) for comparison purposes.Results: In NSL cases, the PTV dose derived from the DVH did not meet the clinical standards D95% = 86.8% (<95%) with a poorer homogeneity index (HI = 0.2). As the SL value increases, plan quality increases, monitor units increase slightly and plan delivery time decreases while there is a parallel increase in memory consumption. …”

Stability Analysis of Slopes Under Seismic Action with Asynchronous Discounting of Strength Parameters by Ruipeng Wang, Hongye Yan, Junkai Yao, Zhuqing Li

“…Then, considering that the failure of microelements in the tensile and shear zones conforms to the tension and shear of joint failure, the relationship between tensile strength, cohesion, and the internal friction angle reduction coefficient is derived. By establishing a homogeneous slope model and comparing and analyzing the progressive instability failure modes of slopes under static and seismic conditions, the stability and potential slip surface differences of slopes under two different working conditions are explored. …”
