RESUMO
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer in women worldwide. Exercise interventions may improve physical and psychological factors during and after active breast cancer treatment. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the current knowledge regarding the efficacy of physical exercise with respect to fatigue and self-reported physical functioning. Systematic searches in Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Cinahl, PsycINFO, AMED and PEDro. After assessing the quality of the studies, we identified 25 randomized controlled trials that included 3418 breast cancer patients. An increase in physical functioning and a decrease in fatigue were observed after a physical exercise intervention, with an SMD of 0.27 (0.12, 0.41) and -0.32 (-0.49, - 0.14), respectively. There were slightly higher improvements in physical functioning and fatigue when the patients received the intervention after adjuvant breast cancer treatment. The 6-month follow-up data showed a small favourable difference for the physical exercise group for both physical functioning and fatigue. This systematic review found that an exercise intervention program can produce short-term improvements in physical functioning and can reduce fatigue in breast cancer patients. However, more studies are needed to confirm the time-dependent observations in this study.

Background: Treatment of childhood obesity is important in preventing development of obesity-related diseases later in life. This systematic review evaluates the effect of multicomponent lifestyle interventions for children and adolescents from 2 to 18 years. Methods and Results: We performed systematic searches in nine databases. Thirty-nine studies met the criteria for meta-analyses. We found a significant difference in body mass index (BMI) after 6 months (MD -0.99 (95% CI -1.36 to -0.61)), 12 months (MD -0.67 (95% CI -1.01 to -0.32)), and 24 months (MD -0.96 (95% CI -1.63 to -0.29)) in favour of multicomponent lifestyle interventions compared to standard, minimal, and no treatment. We also found a significant difference in BMI Z scores after 6 months (MD -0.12 (95% CI -0.17 to -0.06)), 12 months (MD -0.16 (95% CI -0.21 to -0.11)), and 24 months (MD -0.16 (95% CI -0.21 to -0.10)) in favour of multicomponent lifestyle interventions. Subgroup analyses suggested an increased effect in specialist health care with a group treatment component included in the intervention. Conclusion: Multicomponent lifestyle interventions have a moderate effect on change in BMI and BMI Z score after 6, 12, and 24 months compared with standard, minimal, and no treatment.

BACKGROUND: The Scandinavian society of anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine task force on pre-hospital airway management was asked to formulate recommendations following standards for trustworthy clinical practice guidelines. METHODS: The literature was systematically reviewed and the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) system was applied to move from evidence to recommendations. RESULTS: We recommend that all emergency medical service (EMS) providers consider to: apply basic airway manoeuvres and airway adjuncts (good practice recommendation); turn unconscious non-trauma patients into the recovery position when advanced airway management is unavailable (good practice recommendation); turn unconscious trauma patients to the lateral trauma position while maintaining spinal alignment when advanced airway management is unavailable [strong recommendation, low quality of evidence (QoE)]. We suggest that intermediately trained providers use a supraglottic airway device (SAD) or basic airway manoeuvres on patients in cardiac arrest (weak recommendation, low QoE). We recommend that advanced trained providers consider using an SAD in selected indications or as a rescue device after failed endotracheal intubation (ETI) (good practice recommendation). We recommend that ETI should only be performed by advanced trained providers (strong recommendation, low QoE). We suggest that videolaryngoscopy is considered for ETI when direct laryngoscopy fails or is expected to be difficult (weak recommendation, low QoE). We suggest that advanced trained providers apply cricothyroidotomy in 'cannot intubate, cannot ventilate' situations (weak recommendation, low QoE). CONCLUSION: This guideline for pre-hospital airway management includes a combination of techniques applied in a stepwise fashion appropriate to patient clinical status and provider training.

Hepatic endocytosis is characterized by a division of labor between the different cell types with respect to endocytosis, which is mediated by receptors expressed on their cell surface. We have investigated the expression of GTPases of the rab family in rat liver parenchymal and endothelial cells. Small GTPases of the rab protein family control distinct steps of intracellular transport both in the secretory and the endocytic pathway. As controls have been employed the normal rat kidney (NRK) cell line and brain tissue, neuronal cells are known to express high levels of components of the endocytic machinery (clathrin, adaptins, dynamin, uncoating adenosine triphosphatase, etc.). Endothelial cells were found to express four to seven times more rab4, rab5, and rab7 than parenchymal cells. A similar relationship was found between the endocytic rates in the two cell types; the rate of internalization from the plasma membrane of mannose receptors in rat liver endothelial cells was 2.3 pools/min, whereas the corresponding value for internalization of the galactose receptor in parenchymal liver cell was 0.27 pools/min (comparable with the rate of transferrin internalization in NRK cells). Both immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation experiments showed that rab5 and rab7 were associated with compartments along the endocytic pathway. Brain tissue showed a similar high expression of endocytic components (rab4, rab5, and rab7) as liver endothelial cells, whereas lower values were found in NRK cells. We also analyzed the following proteins involved in endocytosis: clathrin, alpha-adaptin, beta-adaptin, and rabaptin-5. These proteins showed the same pattern of expression as the rab proteins. In conclusion, the results obtained with liver cells corroborate the data obtained in transfected cells and support the notion that rab proteins may be involved in controlling the endocytic rate in liver cells.

Although endosomal proteolysis has been reported (e.g. for peptide hormones and lysosomal enzymes), lysosomes are believed to be the main site of degradation in the endocytic pathway. We have studied the separate roles of lysosomes and prelysosomal endocytic organelles in the degradation of ovalbumin in J774 cells. The ovalbumin was labelled with 125I-tyramine cellobiose (125I-TC-ova). The labelled degradation products formed from this probe are trapped at the site of formation. To separate lysosomes efficiently from prelysosomal endocytic organelles we allowed the cells to endocytose a pulse of colloidal gold particles complexed with ovalbumin. By combining this density shift technique with subcellular fractionation of a postnuclear supernatant in Percoll gradients we could isolate three fractions that were sequentially involved in the endocytic pathway: a light Percoll fraction, a dense Percoll fraction and a gold fraction. The light Percoll fraction contained early endosomes since it was transferrin positive and received endocytic markers such as ovalbumin and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) early (< 5 minutes) after internalization. The dense Percoll fraction was transferrin negative, rab7 positive and received endocytic markers after 10-15 minutes of internalization. The gold-filled fraction was negative for both transferrin and rab7 but highly enriched in the lysosomal enzyme beta-hexosaminidase and was therefore defined as a lysosome. To study the role of endosomes and lysosomes in the degradation of endocytosed material we allowed the cells to take up (via the mannose receptor) 125I-TC-ova. It was found that the main degradation of 125I-TC-ova (measured as acid soluble radioactivity trapped in the organelle) took place in the late endosomes (and not in the lysosomes containing the bulk of the lysosomal enzymes). Our data therefore suggest that the late endosomes operate as an early lysosomal compartment. The terminal lysosomes may serve as storage bodies for acid hydrolases that may be called upon when needed (for instance during phagocytosis).
