I investigated the effects of participation in regular exercise for 12 weeks on self-esteem and hopelessness of female students at a Turkish university. Participants were 80 women who were randomly assigned to experiment and control groups. Rosenberg Self-Esteem and Beck Hopelessness Scales were completed and participants in the experiment group improved in level of self-esteem whereas there was no significant change in the level of self-esteem of the control group. Moreover, results showed a significant reduction in the hopelessness level of the participants in the experiment group but there was no significant change in level of hopelessness with the control group. A regular exercise program was found to be an impacting variable in improving self-esteem and decreasing hopelessness level of female university students in Turkey.

Abstract Background 22q11DS is the most important genetic risk factor for schizophrenia: up to 28% of these subjects develop psychosis in adulthood. At present this syndrome represents the strongest biological model to investigate neurobiological underpinnings of schizophrenia. We expected Theory of Mind impairments in subjects at risk for psychosis (22q11DS) and more severe impairments in subjects with an established psychotic disorder. Furthermore we sought to investigate eventual correlations between social cognition and self-esteem levels, hypothesizing that both would be impaired in psychotic groups. Methods Data come from Italian Network for Research on Psychoses for the Schizophrenic (SCZ, N=260) and Control groups (HC, N=111). 22q11DS psychotic (22q11DS_SCZ, N=17) and non-psychotic patients (22q11DS, N=46) were enrolled at Policlinico Umberto I, in Rome. The Awareness and Social Inference Test (TASIT) and Self-Esteem Rating Scale (SERS) were administered. Results The three main TASIT variables, Emotion Recognition, Minimal Social Inference and Enriched Social Inference, showed no different scores between the three clinical groups, which were significantly lower respect to the control group. The SERS total score showed no significant differences between clinical groups but was for all three significantly lower than control group score. No significant correlation was observed between SERS and TASIT scores for clinical groups. Discussion Social Cognition impairments are present in 22q11DS at the same extent as in idiopathic schizophrenia, and thus they represent an endophenotype of psychosis. A low Self-Esteem, even though associated to psychosis, does not affect neurocognitive process, impaired on a neurobiological basis.

Triglycerides are source of energy in the body, but triglyceride deposits that exceed the threshold will cause health problems, so triglycerides should be lowered to normal. The reduction of triglycerides can be done through physical activity, therefore this study aims to reveal the effect of regular swimming exercises and irregular exercises against triglyceride levels. This research is an experimental research using The Post Test Only Control Group Design design. Subjects of the study were male of Rattus Norvegicus Wistar, 39 subjects was divided into 3 groups with Matched Subject Design technique, which consisted of 2 groups of treatment that is regular and irregular group, and control group. The exercise program was given a swimming with a 3% weight of body weight and was tied 5 cm from the tip of the tail which was performed 3 times per week consistently for regular exercise and 0 to 5 times per week inconsistently for irregular exercise for 12 weeks, While the control group was not given training. In the last week before the blood was taken, the first three groups were given swimming treatment exercises. Based on the results of the anava test, there was a significant difference in the reduction of triglyceride levels among white mice who were given regular exercise with irregular exercise. These results suggest that regular exercise has a better impact on triglyceride reduction than irregular exercise, due to the higher adaptation process of regular exercise.

High blood urea nitrogen (BUN) decreases fertility of several mammals; however, the mechanisms have not been investigated in mares. We developed an experimental model to elevate BUN, with urea and control treatments (7 mares/treatment), in a crossover design. Urea-treatment consisted of a loading dose of urea (0.03 g/kg of body weight (BW)) and urea injections over 6 hours (0.03 g/kg of BW/h). Control mares received the same volume of saline solution. Blood samples were collected to measure BUN. Uterine and vaginal pH were evaluated after the last intravenous infusion, then endometrial biopsies were collected for RNA-sequencing with a HiSeq 4000. Cuffdiff (2.2.1) was used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEG) between urea and control groups (false discovery rate-adjusted p-value < 0.1). There was a significant increase in BUN and a decrease of uterine pH in the urea group compared to the control group. A total of 193 genes were DEG between the urea and control groups, with five genes identified as upstream regulators (ETV4, EGF, EHF, IRS2, and SGK1). The DEG were predicted to be related to cell pH, ion homeostasis, changes in epithelial tissue, and solute carriers. Changes in gene expression reveal alterations in endometrial function that could be associated with adverse effects on fertility of mares.
