Identification of non-volatile components and anti-fatigue effect of a compound Lujiu by CHEN Ying, ZHU Yuzhe, YU Meili, LIU Fangmei, LI Cunyu, ZHENG Yunfeng, PENG Guoping

“…Compared with the model group, the body weight reduction of mice in the low, medium and high dose groups was significantly reduced (P<0.01), the weight-bearing swimming time of mice in the medium and high dose groups was significantly prolonged (P<0.01), the content of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) of mice in low and medium dose groups was significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and the content of liver glycogen (LG) of mice in the low, medium and high dose groups were significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), indicating that the compound Lujiu was rich in non-volatile substances, which could enhance the body's adaptability to load and had a significant anti-fatigue effect, providing a certain foundation for the development of functional foods.…”

The impact of early life experiences on inhibitory control and working memory by Eva Dydenkova, Francis McGlone, Larisa Mayorova, Larisa Mayorova, Elena Nikolaeva

“…Dramatic environmental events during this period, such as history of institutionalisation, can disrupt optimal developmental pathways, leaving biological scars for life.MethodsThe focus of this study was to investigate the impact of institutionalisation on the development of inhibitory control and working memory in three groups of children matched for age (n = 130; 7.1 ± 2.0 years): (1) early institutionalised (n = 35; age of placement: 6.9 ± 10.6 months; duration of placement: 14.6 ± 10.4 months); (2) late institutionalised (n = 29; age of placement: 49.3 ± 30.6 months; the duration of placement: 16.0 ± 19.4 months); (3) never institutionalised (n = 66).ResultsResults showed that the early institutionalised group had the lowest scores on tests of inhibitory control (p = 0.03), working memory (p = 0.03) and retrieval-based learning (p = 0.04), while the results of the group of late institutionalised children do not differ significantly from never institutionalised.DiscussionThe existence of a sensitive period during the first 18 months of a child’s life is discussed, which determines the formation of the retrieval-based learning mechanism and of inhibiting ineffective experience, for which executive functions are responsible.…”
