Correlates of and changes in aerobic physical activity and strength training before and after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic in the UK: findings from the HEBECO study by Lion Shahab, Abigail Fisher, Phillippa Lally, Aleksandra Herbeć, Dimitra Kale, Verena Schneider

“…The odds for decreasing MSA were higher for having overweight (aOR=1.88, 95% CI 1.39 to 2.55), obesity (aOR=23.38, 95% CI 2.23 to 5.14) and being employed (aOR=1.81, 95% CI 1.34 to 2.46).Conclusion Aerobic and strength training were differently impacted during the first UK lockdown, with poorer outcomes associated with older age, lower education and higher body mass index. Targeted interventions may be required to avoid pandemic-related inequities in physical activity.…”

Myofibrillogenesis Regulator-1 in Smooth Muscle Cells Modulates Inflammation Signaling Pathways via Regulating ROCK1 Ubiquitination and Degradation to Impact Aortic Dissection by Yin H, Li X, Lu D, Zhao X, Yang Z, Wang Z, Xu F, Chen Y, Li C

“…In vitro experiments, human aortic smooth muscle cells were extracted, and an in vitro dissection model was constructed with angiotensin II. siRNA silencing studies were performed to investigate the effects of MR-1 and ROCK1 on the development of AD and their interconnections.Results: Analysis of aortic tissues revealed significantly elevated levels of MR-1 and ROCK1 in AD patients, and meanwhile the inflammatory indexes showed the same trend. Furthermore, it was observed that overexpression of MR-1 and ROCK1 facilitated smooth muscle cell phenotypic transformation and augmented matrix metalloproteinase release in in vitro settings through inflammatory pathway activation. …”
