RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Obesity and low physical activity changes the redox state and neurotrophin secretion by leukocytes. However, the role of exercise on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) production and oxidative stress markers of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) remains unknown. This study aimed to verify the impact of acute maximal exercise on oxidative stress markers and the BDNF production by stimulated PBMC from sedentary and physically active obese men. METHODS: PBMC from twelve sedentary obese (SED group) and twelve regular exercisers (EXE group) obese men were collected before, immediately and 1-h after maximal exercise. PBMC were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to evaluate the BDNF and nitrite production, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. RESULTS: PBMC from EXE group presented higher BDNF production (P=0.03) and lower TBARS levels than SED group at baseline. Maximal exercise increased BDNF and nitrite production, and lipid peroxidation immediately and 1-h after the bout in both groups. The EXE group presented higher superoxide dismutase activity immediately after bout and higher catalase activity 1-h after bout in PBMC. On the other hand, PBMC from SED group had lower superoxide dismutase activity immediately after exercise. Furthermore, PBMC from EXE group presented higher BDNF production and SOD activity and lower TBARS concentrations than SED group immediately after maximal exercise. CONCLUSIONS: Maximal exercise changes the redox state and enhances BDNF production by LPS-stimulated PBMC in obese individuals.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of autologous serum collected after two types of exercise on the in vitro inflammatory profile and T cell phenotype of resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in obese men. Serum samples and PBMCs were obtained from eight obese men who performed two exercise bouts-high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and exhaustive exercise session to voluntary fatigue-in a randomized cross-over trial. Pre-exercise PBMCs were incubated with 50% autologous serum (collected before and after each exercise bout) for 4 h. In vitro experiments revealed that post-HIIE serum reduced the histone H4 acetylation status and NF-κB content of PBMCs and suppressed the production of both TNF-α and IL-6 by PBMCs, while increasing IL-10 production. Post-exhaustive exercise serum induced histone H4 hyperacetylation and mitochondrial depolarization in lymphocytes and increased TNF-α production. In vitro post-HIIE serum incubation resulted in an increase in the frequencies of CD4 + CTLA-4 + and CD4 + CD25+ T cells expressing CD39 and CD73. Post-exhaustive exercise serum decreased the frequency of CD4 + CD25 + CD73+ T cells but increased CD4 + CD25-CD39 + T cell frequency. Both post-exercise serums increased the proportions of CD4 + PD-1 + and CD8 + PD-1+ T cells. Blood serum factors released during exercise altered the immune response and T cell phenotype. The type of exercise impacted the immunomodulatory activity of the post-exercise serum on PBMCs.

This study evaluated the response of global histone H4 acetylation (H4ac), histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) activity, as well as the production of proinflammatory cytokines and monocyte phenotypes of lean and obese males after exercise. Ten lean and ten obese sedentary men were submitted to one session of strenuous exercise, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were stimulated in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Global H4ac levels, HDAC2 activity in PBMC, and IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α production were analyzed. Monocyte phenotype was determined in accordance with the expression of CD14 and CD16. At rest, obese individuals presented higher frequency of proinflammatory CD14+CD16+ monocytes. LPS induced a significant augment in global H4ac and in the production of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α mainly in obese individuals. After exercise, the increased production of IL-8 and TNF-α and peripheral frequency of CD14+CD16+ were observed in both groups. In addition, exercise also induced a significant hyperacetylation of histone H4 and decreased HDAC2 activity in both nonstimulated and LPS-stimulated PBMC of obese individuals. Our data indicate that the obesity impacts on H4ac levels and that strenuous exercise leads to an enhanced chronic low-grade inflammation profile in obesity via an imbalance on H4ac/HDAC2.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic alterations in an experimental model of chronic heart failure (CHF) following myocardial infarction. METHOD: Twenty-seven male adult Wistar rats were randomized to CHF group (n=12) or Sham group (n=15). Ten weeks after coronary ligation or sham surgery, the animals were anesthetized and submitted to respiratory mechanics and hemodynamic measurements. Pulmonary edema as well as cardiac remodeling were measured. RESULTS: The CHF rats showed pulmonary edema 26% higher than the Sham group. The respiratory system compliance (Crs) and the total lung capacity (TLC) were lower (40% and 27%, respectively) in the CHF rats when compared to the Sham group (P<0.01). There was also an increase in tissue resistance (Gti) and elastance (Hti) (28% and 45%, respectively) in the CHF group. Moreover, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was higher (32 mmHg vs 4 mmHg, P<0.01), while the left ventricular systolic pressure was lower (118 mmHg vs 130 mmHg, P=0.02) in the CHF group when compared to the control. Pearson's correlation coefficient showed a negative association between pulmonary edema and Crs (r=-0.70, P=0.0001) and between pulmonary edema and TLC (r=-0.67, P=0.0034). Pulmonary edema correlated positively with Gti (r=0.68, P=0.001) and Hti (r=0.68, P=0.001). Finally, there was a strong positive relationship between pulmonary edema and heart weight (r=0.80, P=0.001). CONCLUSION: Rats with CHF present important changes in hemodynamic and respiratory mechanics, which may be associated with alterations in cardiopulmonary interactions.

Introdução: O diagnóstico de câncer e todo o processo da doença são vividos pelo paciente e sua famíliacomo um momento de intensa angústia, sofrimento e ansiedade. No câncer de mama, além disso, encontram-se outras angústias ligadas à feminilidade, maternidade e sexualidade, já que o seio é um órgão de simbolismopara a mulher. A mastectomia é um procedimento cirúrgico muito utilizado no tratamento do câncer de mama,a qual, no entanto, pode causar complicações físicas e emocionais para a paciente, no qual a fisioterapia podeatuar. Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar o efeito da hidroterapia, que é um recurso fisioterapêutico, naqualidade de vida de mulheres mastectomizadas. Metodologia: Participaram do estudo 3 mulheres submetidasà mastectomia, as quais responderam o questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36 antes e após realizarem 10sessões de hidroterapia. Resultados: Houve melhora da capacidade funcional, aspecto físico, vitalidade easpecto emocional. Já os componentes dor, aspectos sociais e saúde mental mantiveram-se iguais; e ocomponente estado geral de saúde apresentou piora. Conclusão: A hidroterapia é eficaz na reabilitação depacientes mastectomizadas, pois proporciona benefícios físicos e funcionais, auxilia na melhora do estadoemocional das pacientes, e consequentemente, na qualidade de vida destas.
Introduction: Cancer diagnosis and the disease process are experienced by the patient and his/her family asa moment of the intense anguish, suffering and anxiety. Moreover, in breast cancer there are other anguishesassociated to womanliness, maternity, and sexuality, once the breast is an organ with a certain symbolism forwomen. The excision of the breast is a very common surgical proceeding performed in the treatment of breastcancer. Nevertheless, it can cause physical and emotional complications for the patient, opening space forphysical therapists to act upon. Thus, the objective of this study was to verify the effect of the hydrotherapy,which is a physiotherapeutic tool, in the quality of life of women who have their breast removed. Methodology:Three women underwent mastectomy. They have answered the SF-36 lifes quality questionnaire before andafter 10-hydrotherapy sessions. Results: There was improvement of the functional capacity, physical andemotional aspects, and vitality. The components of pain, socials aspects, and mental health remained thesame; the general health condition component became aggravated. Conclusion: The hydrotherapy is effectivein the rehabilitation of patients undergoing excision of the breast because it provides functional and physicalbenefits, helps in the recovery of the patients emotional condition, and consequently, in their quality of life.
