Transcript: GKEITA KAMIJ and RYUJI ABE Aftereffects of Cognitively Demanding Acute Aerobic Exercise on Working Memory Background Background Number of studies have shown chronic regular exercise improves cognitive function across lifespan Cognitive Function - intellectual process where you become aware of, perceive, or comprehend an idea perception, thinking, reasoning, and remembering Executive function - umbrella term for the neurologically-based skills involving mental control and self-regulation Working memory - immediate conscious perceptual and linguistic processing allows people to maintain and update information in their brains about things they’re working on, such as assignments, goals and strategies. Cognitively-demanding exercise - exercise performed while the subject engages in a cognitive activity Research has suggested sustained cognitive effort during exercise may not enhance cognitive function walking in nature vs walking in urban areas studies have shown cognitively demanding exercise to be less effective than simpler exercise in enhancing cognitive function in children and young adults exergaming and classroom settings Cognitively Demanding Exercise Cognitively Demanding Exercise Small number of studies have used a within-participants design to examine the aftereffects of cognitively demanding acute exercise Most studies have used a between-participant design Within-Participant Design Within-Participant Design Majority of acute exercise studies have focused on children, young adults, or older adults little is known about the effects of acute exercise on cognitive function in middle-age individuals Unknown if middle-age individuals experience effects of aerobic exercise on working memory like those found in other age groups If there's an association between aerobic exercise and working memory, it could encourage middle-age individuals to exercise during working hours What's Missing? Study Purpose Subjects Methodology 36 middle-age men were recruited from (40-52 y/o) No neurological disorders No CV disease No medications that influenced CNS Nonsmokers Normal or corrected-to-normal vision 28 subject completed study Two-back task - cognitive demand continuous sequence of single-digit numbers from 0 to 9 press one of two buttons with their index fingers corresponding to whether the currently presented single digit matched (right button) or did not match (left) the digit presented two previously in the sequence Switch task - cognitive function continuous sequence of single-digit numbers from 1 to 9, excluding 5 digits enclosed in solid or dashed square solid square - left button if was lower than 5 and right button if digit higher than five dashed square - left button if odd, right button if even Cognitive Tasks Cognitive Tasks https://www.cogstate.com/clinical-trials/computerized-cognitive-assessment/ Two-back task Two-back task https://www.psytoolkit.org/experiment-library/taskswitching.html Switch task Switch task Duration = 25 min each 5-min warm-up; workload was gradually increased 20 min of cycling at 60%-70% of age-predicted HRmax Participants instructed to maintain a cadence between 60 and 70 rpm RPE assessed every 5 min using the 15-point Borg scale Exercise intensity and duration sufficient to detect cognitive benefits after acute aerobic exercise Exercise Intervention Exercise Interventions 1. Rest-cognition condition sit quietly on a cycle ergometer for 5 min four blocks of a 3-min switch task 2-min breaks after each block to refocus 2. Exercise-cognition condition 5-min warm-up; workload was gradually increased 20 min of cycling exercise at 60%-70% of age-predicted HRmax During exercise, simultaneously performed four blocks of a 3-min switch task 2-min breaks after each block 3. Exercise-only condition identical to the exercise-cognition condition, except no switch task during exercise Experimental Protocol Protocol Protocol Diagram Hypothesis Research Hypothesis Working memory performance, as reflected in response accuracy and reaction times (RT) on two-back task, would improve after the interventions in both exercise conditions, but not in the rest-cognition condition No firm prediction regarding beneficial effects of acute exercise on working memory in the exercise-cognition versus exercise-only conditions Analysis Results Two-back task - response accuracy, RT, and SDRT analyzed using a 3x3 repeated-measures ANOVA Condition: rest-cognition, exercise-cognition, exerciseonly) Time: pretest, post 1, post 2 Switch task - response accuracy, RT, and SDRT analyzed using a 2x2 repeated-measures ANOVA Condition: rest-cognition, exercise-cognition Trial: switch, nonswitch HR and RPE were also analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVAs Working memory performance improved after moderate aerobic exercise, as indicated by greater hit accuracy and shorter correct rejection RT This supports existing evidence that simple aerobic exercise has a beneficial impact on working memory Positive effects of exercise were

Transcript: Comparison of the accumulation and effectiveness of different sizes of long-circulating, drug-loaded (DACHPt) polymeric micelles in both highly and poorly permeable tumours BALB/c nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with C26 or BxPC3 cells to prepare tumour model Mice injected on days 0, 2 and 4 with oxaliplatin (8 mg/kg) or micelles (3 mg/kg on a platinum basis) to evaluate antitumour activity Mice injected with 100 µg micelles on a platinum basis for tumour accumulation experiments Haemotoxylin and eosin staining for histological investigations Fluorescent labelling of micelles to investigate size-dependent extravasation and penetration in tumours Immunofluorescent localization of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) to show distribution of blood vessels Assessment of drug microdistribution in tumours by detecting element disposition (µ-SR-XRF) Observation of platinum and iron in tumour tissue to evaluate the distribution of haemoproteins and the location of the drug Use of DACHPt/m with diameters of 30 and 70 nm (critical differences in antitumour activity, tumour accumulation and microdistribution in BxPC3 model for diameters below and above 50 nm) Labelling of 30 nm micelles with Alexa 488 and 70 nm micelles with Alexa 594 Injection of fluorescently labelled micelles in mice bearing C26 or BxPC3 tumours (10 mg/kg) Microdistribution of micelles assessed 1h and 24h after injection using in vivo confocal laser scanning microscopy (fluorescent measurements relative to the fluorescence intensity in the vasculature immediately after injection (Vmax)) Low doses of a transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) inhibitor transiently decreases the pericyte coverage of the endothelium in the neovasculature of pancreatic tumours, resulting in enhanced accumulation and antitumour activity of 65 nm micelles and 90 nm Doxil What is the effect of TGF-ß inhibitors on the delivery of sub-100 nm DACHPt/m in BxPC3 tumours??? BxPC3-bearing mice received intraperitoneal injections of TGF-ß inhibitor (LY364947) at 1 mg/kg every second day (0, 2, 4, 6 & 8) for the antitumour acitivity experiment and 1h before the micelles injection for tumour accumulation studies 30 and 70 nm fluorescently labelled micelles (3mg/kg) were injected on days 0, 4 & 8 The tumoricidal efficiency of long-circulating polymeric micelles depends on the size of the micelles and the permeability of the tumour Sub-100 nm DACHPt/m show no size-dependent restrictions on extravasation and penetration in hypervascular tumours Only DACHPt/m < 50 nm can penetrate poorly permeable hypovascular tumours Increasing the permeability of hypovascular tumours using TGF-ß inhibitor improves the accumulation and distribution of larger (70 nm) micelles Clarification of tumour accumulation and intratumoural distribution of nanomedicines in the range between 5 and 30 nm Optimizing the size of nanomedicines by looking at the balance between antitumour efficacy and potential toxicity Accumulation of sub-100 nm polymeric micelles in poorly permeable tumours depends on size Method Nature reviews. Drug discovery [1474-1776] Davis, Mark yr:2008 vol:7 iss:9 pg:771 -782 Preliminary data C26 Similar extravasation and penetration of 30 and 70 nm micelles BxPC3 30 nm micelles crossed vascular wall (20% Vmax at 40µm from blood vessel), 70 nm micelles failed to reach interstitial space Extravasation points of 70 nm micelles surrounded the blood vessels Method (1) 70 nm micelles reduced the tumour growth rate as effectively as 30 nm micelles Accumulation of 70 nm micelles was reaching a level comparable to 30 nm micelles Results Prolonged circulation time acquired by size control (ca. 5 - 100 nm), too small = leakage, too big = uptake by macrophages from the reticuloendothelial system (RES) hydrophylic surface (mostly PEG) prevents opsonization by macrophages and uptake by RES Goals of drug delivery systems: Minimize premature drug degradation Prevent undesirable side effects Increase drug bioavailability in pathological area Accumulation of nanomedicines in the pathological area by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect Results (24h post injection) Results (1) Higher P(Glu) ratio from homopolymer to copolymer results in increased micelle size Micelles of different sizes show similar drug release rates Differently sized DACHPt/m maintained their diameters for over 48h ( in cell culture media + 10% serum at 37 ⁰C) Differently sized DACHPt/m showed similar plasma clearance rates and plasma half lives Microdistribution of fluorescently labelled DACHPt/m of varying sizes in tumours Method (2) Nature reviews. Drug discovery [1474-1776] Duncan, R yr:2003 vol:2 iss:5 pg:347 -360 So far, several nanomedicines have shown significant antitumour activity in highly vascularized tumours (e.g. Doxil (90 nm) and Abraxane (130 nm)) However, most of these nanomedicines with large diameters (> 100 nm) have shown limited penetration and accumulation in hypovascular/hypopermeable

Transcript: Instagram and Facebook influence on young women’s’ image: how it affects their self-esteem. Instagram and Facebook influence on young women’s’ image: how it affects their self-esteem. Vitória Magalhães Machado Research tools SURREY SEARCH athenas data base EBSCO DATA BASE GOOGLE SCHOLAR Terms definition Terms Self-esteem Not only the physical aspect but also the emotional evaluation of a person’s self-worth will have an impact on self-esteem (Duschene et al., 2017). Therefore, the self-esteem is also considered as an informer of psychological well-being. (Clay, Vignoles, & Dittmar, 2005). "'Dude, I am really pretty today!' 'Girl, you really are!'" (Ilustraclementine, 2020) Social media platforms imply the presence of others, connecting to others despite the distance. Added to which, social media such as Instagram and Facebook are considered as social facilitators, whose impact will be examined further on the literature review (Wolf, Sims, & Yang, 2018) social media The perception the individual has of themselves physically and how they perceive the reaction of others to their body (Spurr, Berry and Walker 2013). BODY IMAGE "What can not miss in a 'beach body'? Sunscream!" (Ilustra Gabs, 2020) main article ARTICLE Body Dissatisfaction and Psychological distress in adolescents: is self-esteem a mediator? Duchesne, A., Dion, J., Lalande, D., Bégin, C., Èmonde, C., Lalande, G. & McDuff, P. (2016) Introduction INTRO Aim of the article test whether if self-esteem is mediator between body dissatisfaction and psychological distress During adolescence self-esteem is being shaped. Besides that, considering their body changes due puberty it reflects on how they perceive their bodies (Duchesne, A., Dion, J., Lalande, D., Bégin, C., Èmonde, C., Lalande, G. & McDuff, P., 2016). why adolescents "Just like the moon, enjoy your phases." (Ilustragabs, 2019) LITERATURE BACKUP There is a wild range of research relating body dissatisfation with anxiety and depression (Duchesne, 2016); Other authors have shown self-esteem as an influence in body dissatisfaction and depression, however only one research test it (Duchesne, 2016). METHODS OF RESEARCH (Prezi Figures, 2020) pARTICIPANTS Ethics Tests used rESULTS and discussion Results results 59,7% were dissatisfied with their bodies datas 409 participants Girls were more dissatisfied with their bodies (63,5%) and lower self-esteem; also more syntoms of psychological distress DISCUSSION The research verified that the hypothesis is true: body dissatisfaction and psychological distress are mediated by self- esteem BODY DISSATISFATION SELF-ESTEEM PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS analysis

Transcript: (A) In human cells, DSBs may be repaired through the double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathway or the non-crossover synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) pathway. Both crossover and non-crossover DSBR can occur. (B) The HBD locus from the 7 recombined 3PN embryos were similarly examined as above. * Indicates that the HBD locus failed to be amplified in two of the embryos. (C) In human embryos, repair of DSBs generated by CRISPR/Cas9 occurs mainly through NHEJ. If HDR is utilized, the non-crossover pathway is preferred. Six Cas9-cleaved embryos were randomly selected (three each from groups 2 and 3) for whole-exome sequencing. Concentrations of the Cas9/gRNAs used for injections are indicated. Candidate off-target sites were also confirmed by T7E1 assay. A representative sequencing chromatogram of the region spanning the target site in Cas9-cleaved 3PN embryos. Double peaks near the PAM sequence (green) are indicated. Five embryos with double peaks near the PAM sequence were randomly selected for the T7E1 assay. Blue arrowhead indicates the expected size for uncut PCR products. Control, amplified products from target regions with no double peaks near the PAM sequence. 293T cells were transfected with increasing concentrations (1 μg, 2 μg, 3 μg, 4 μg) of the G1 gRNA-Cas9 vector. A GFP expression vector was used as transfection control. Regions spanning the top 7 predicted off-target sites for each gRNA were PCR amplified for the T7E1 assay. OT, off-target. HBB, on-target editing in the HBB gene locus. Embryo No.16 from group 3 was used to PCR amplify sequences spanning the gRNA target regions of the HBB gene. The PCR products were then subcloned and sequenced. A total of 50 clones were examined, and the number of clones for each pattern indicated. PAM, green. G1 gRNA sequence, blue. Point mutations, red. The ssDNA was co-transfected with the G1 gRNA-Cas9 construct (pX330-G1) into 293T cells. At 48 h after transfection, genomic DNA was extracted to PCR amplify the region spanning the G1 target site. The PCR products were then subcloned into TA cloning vectors for sequencing analysis. Representative sequencing chromatographs for wild- type and edited alleles are shown with the mutated target region underlined in red. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in human tripronuclear zygotes Four groups of 3PN zygotes were injected intra-cytoplasmically with GFP mRNA (50 ng/L) and Cas9 gRNA/ssDNA in different concentration combinations. The genomes of GFP + embryos were first amplified by multiplex displacement amplification. The region spanning the target site was then PCR amplified, subcloned into TA vectors, and sequenced. * Indicates that target fragments in 5 GFP + embryos failed to be PCR amplified. 293T cells were individually transfected with the three gRNA-Cas9 expression vectors and harvested for genomic DNA isolation 48 h after transfection. A GFP expression vector was used as a control. The regions spanning the gRNA target sites were then PCR amplified for the T7E1 assay. Blue arrowhead indicates the expected size for uncut PCR products. Off-target cleavage in human embryos was summarized here. PAM sequence are labeled in green. HBB, on-target cleavage of the HBB locus. OT1–7, the top 7 predicted off-target sites. HBD, the predicted off-target site in the HBD locus. Mismatched nucleotides compared to the HBB locus are labeled in red. Some of the off-target sites failed to be amplified by PCR in this experiment. Sequencing chromatographs of the wild-type allele and recombined allele generated by homologous recombination between HBB and HBD are shown here. The region with base substitution is underlined with red line. A ssDNA oligo (Oligo donor) encoding 6 silent mutations (indicated in red) was synthesized By: Puping Liang, Yanwen Xu, Xiya Zhang, Chenhui Ding, Rui Huang, Zhen Zhang, Jie Lv, Xiaowei Xie, Yuxi Chen, Yujing Li, Ying Sun, Yaofu Bai, Zhou Songyang, Wenbin Ma, Canquan Zhou&, Junjiu Huang The region within the HBD locus that is highly similar to the G1 gRNA-Cas9 target sequence was analyzed by a T7E1 assay. It shows that although the HBD locus is similar to the HBB locus, no cleavage occured at that site. Three gRNA targeting sites were selected for the HBB locus, and the sequence for each gRNA (G1, G2, and G3) is shown with the PAM sequence in green. The three common HBB mutations found in βB-thalassemia are indicated in red. Exons are represented by deep blue boxes with yellow arrows indicating transcriptional direction.
