Background
Many musculoskeltal injuries in the workplace have been attributed to the repetitive loading of muscle and soft tissues. It is not disputed that muscular fatigue is a risk factor for musculoskeltal injury, however the disparity between gender with respect to muscular fatigability and rate of recovery is not well understood. Current health and safety guidelines do not account for sex differences in fatiguability and may be predisposing one gender to greater risk. The purpose of this study was to quantify the sex differences in fatigue development and recovery rate of lower and upper body musculature after repeated bouts of sustained isometric contractions.Methods
Twenty-seven healthy males (n = 12) and females (n = 15) underwent bilateral localized fatigue of either the knee extensors (male: n = 8; female: n = 8), elbow flexors (male: n = 8; female: n = 10), or both muscle groups. The fatigue protocol consisted of ten 30-second sub-maximal isometric contractions. The changes in maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), electrically evoked twitches, and motor unit activation (MUA) were assessed along with the ability to control the sustained contractions (SLP) during the fatigue protocol using a mixed four-factor repeated measures ANOVA (gender × side × muscle × time) design with significance set at p < 0.05.Results
There was a significant loss of MVC, MUA, and evoked twitch amplitude from pre- to post-fatigue in both the arms and legs. Males had greater relative loss of isometric force, a higher rate of fatigue development, and were less capable of maintaining the fatiguing contractions in the legs when compared to the females.Conclusion
The nature of the induced fatigue was a combination of central and peripheral fatigue that did not fully recover over a 45-minute period. The results appear to reflect sex differences that are peripheral, and partially support the muscle mass hypothesis for explaining differences in muscular fatigue.5.
Proper modeling of nonspecific salt-mediated electrostatic interactions is essential to understanding the binding of charged ligands to nucleic acids. Because the linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) and the more approximate generalized Born approach are applied routinely to nucleic acids and their interactions with charged ligands, the reliability of these methods is examined vis-à-vis an efficient nonlinear PBE method. For moderate salt concentrations, the negative derivative, SKpred, of the electrostatic binding free energy, ΔGel, with respect to the logarithm of the 1:1 salt concentration, [M+], for 33 cationic minor groove drugs binding to AT-rich DNA sequences is shown to be consistently negative and virtually constant over the salt range considered (0.1-0.4 M NaCl). The magnitude of SKpred is approximately equal to the charge on the drug, as predicted by counterion condensation theory (CCT) and observed in thermodynamic binding studies. The linear PBE is shown to overestimate the magnitude of SKpred, whereas the nonlinear PBE closely matches the experimental results. The PBE predictions of SKpred were not correlated with ΔGel in the presence of a dielectric discontinuity, as would be expected from the CCT. Because this correlation does not hold, parameterizing the PBE predictions of ΔGel against the reported experimental data is not possible. Moreover, the common practice of extracting the electrostatic and nonelectrostatic contributions to the binding of charged ligands to biopolyelectrolytes based on the simple relation between experimental SK values and the electrostatic binding free energy that is based on CCT is called into question by the results presented here. Although the rigid-docking nonlinear PB calculations provide reliable predictions of SKpred, at least for the charged ligand-nucleic acid complexes studied here, accurate estimates of ΔGel will require further development in theoretical and experimental approaches. 相似文献

We present Monte Carlo simulations of the equilibrium configurations of short closed circular DNA that obeys a combined elastic, hard-sphere, and electrostatic energy potential. We employ a B-spline representation to model chain configuration and simulate the effects of salt on chain folding by varying the Debye screening parameter. We obtain global equilibrium configurations of closed circular DNA, with several imposed linking number differences, at two salt concentrations (specifically at the extremes of no added salt and the high salt regime), and for different chain lengths. Minimization of the composite elastic/long-range potential energy under the constraints of ring closure and fixed chain length is found to produce structures that are consistent with the configurations of short supercoiled DNA observed experimentally. The structures generated under the constraints of an electrostatic potential are less compact than those subjected only to an elastic term and a hard-sphere constraint. For a fixed linking number difference greater than a critical value, the interwound structures obtained under the condition of high salt are more compact than those obtained under the condition of no added salt. In the case of no added salt, the electrostatic energy plays a dominant role over the elastic energy in dictating the shape of the closed circular DNA. The DNA supercoil opens up with increasing chain length at low salt concentration. A branched three-leaf rose structure with a fixed linking number difference is higher in energy than the interwound form at both salt concentrations employed here. 相似文献
