Summary: This study found that exercise has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat, reducing the infiltration of inflammatory cells and fibrotic lesions. Furthermore, exercise also increased the expression of antioxidative distress proteins, improved the degree of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in alveolar epithelial cells, and ultimately alleviated paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Summary: Exercise has been proven to improve cognitive function, and studies on both humans and animals have shown this. Laboratory mice are often used as a model to study the effects of exercise, and running wheels provide a voluntary and stress-free form of exercise for mice. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the cognitive state of a mouse and its wheel-running behavior. The results showed that high-runner mice exhibited enhanced learning capabilities and ate more compared to the other groups. Interestingly, individual mice had different reactions when introduced to running wheels, suggesting the importance of considering individual differences in voluntary endurance exercise studies.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a critical role in regulating circadian rhythms in mice, but depleting the gut microbiota with antibiotics does not significantly impact voluntary wheel running activity and food anticipatory activity.

Summary: This study mapped all long-range monosynaptic inputs to M1 deep output neurons in layer 5 (L5) and revealed that most upstream areas innervate both dendritic compartments concurrently. The dichotomous inputs arise mostly from spatially segregated neuronal subpopulations within an upstream nucleus, indicating a previously unknown and highly intricate synaptic input pattern of M1L5 neurons.

Summary: Anxiety disorders are commonly diagnosed psychological conditions that are often treated with drugs, but these medications can have side effects. Exercise is an effective treatment for anxiety, and it has been found to release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that may help reduce anxiety. Research suggests that exercise-derived EVs may have anti-anxiety effects.

Summary: Cisplatin decreases energy-consuming activities but not energy-procuring activities unless they require a choice between options differing in their cost-benefit ratio. The physical dimension of fatigue is more likely to develop in cisplatin-treated individuals than the motivational dimension of fatigue.

Summary: This article introduces a method that combines radiotelemetry system and running wheels to determine spontaneous cage activity and voluntary exercise levels of individual animals in group-housed rodents. A software tool is developed for fast and reliable data analysis. This method can be used to study the benefits of physical activity and the impact of therapeutic interventions on animal behavior.

Summary: The study found that exercise helps faster recovery from paclitaxel-induced weight loss and deficits in melanocortin signaling, but did not alleviate fatigue or inflammation. Body mass recovery was associated with the wheel running-induced recovery of body composition and associated peripheral circulating hormones.

Summary: Recent clinical studies suggest a close association between dry eye and psychiatric disorders. This study investigates the depressive-like behavior in two mouse models of dry eye and the potential benefits of voluntary wheel-running in alleviating depressive states induced by dry eye.

Summary: Chronic restraint stress affects the behavior of mice, specifically their voluntary wheel running but not working for food. This indicates a dissociation between energy demanding and energy procuring activities, possibly due to adaptive response to mitochondrial dysfunction caused by chronic restraint stress.

Summary: Exercise can delay aging and have beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system. High body weight is more protective for muscle and bone health, while exercise can increase muscle size and function, and reduce muscle loss. The combination of exercise and high body weight has the best effect on muscle and bone health.

Summary: Kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method. Characterization techniques including XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, FE-SEM, EDS, TEM, and UV-vis spectroscopy were employed to study the structural, chemical, morphological, and optical properties. The synthesized CZTS nanoparticles exhibited a nanocrystalline structure with a bandgap of 1.5 eV, making them suitable for solar photocatalytic degradation applications. The photocatalytic activity of CZTS was demonstrated through the degradation of Congo red azo dye under solar simulation light irradiation, achieving 90.2% degradation in just 60 minutes. The prepared CZTS nanoparticles were also reusable for the removal of Congo red dye from aqueous solutions.

Summary: This study evaluated the behavior of three paint systems exposed to the Antarctic marine environment for 45 months compared to a control of uncoated carbon steel. The study assessed the environmental conditions and analyzed the paint systems before and after exposure. The results showed that the best behavior was found for the system whose top layer was acrylic-aliphatic polyurethane.

Summary: A binder-free CdCO3/CdO/Co3O4 compound with a micro-cube-like morphology on a nickel foam (NF) was developed through a facile two-step hydrothermal + annealing procedure. The morphological, structural, and electrochemical behavior of the single compounds as well as the final product were studied. The synergistic contribution effect of the single compounds in the final compound resulted in specific capacitance values, and the CdCO3/CdO/Co3O4@NF electrode showed excellent supercapacitive performance.
