“…Interventions with telephone talking sessions and intensive counseling on lifestyle guidance can reduce body weight and body mass index and promote a change of the dietary habits in adults (2,(6)(7)(8). The frequency and duration of the physical activity practice were also increased, reinforcing the assumption that a single guideline program can be effective in health promotion in the civil population (2,4,7,8). Despite these observations, the efficacy of a single health promotion guideline program has not been tested in the military police yet.…”

“…The stress also increases the risk of the onset of chronic diseases (3). The exhaustive working regime and sleep restriction lead to coronary heart diseases and metabolic syndrome (3,4). In opposition, the maintenance of physical fitness (appropriate body fat composition, cardiac and neuromuscular capacity, normal blood pressure, strength, endurance, and flexibility), combined with healthy dietary habits, prevents chronic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hypertension in the civil population (2,5,6).…”

The health promotion efficacy of a dietary regimen and physical activity guidance program applied to the São Paulo state military ppre-obese policemen exhibitedolice working in São Paulo city was investigated. The guidance program consisted of the delivery of a 10-minute talk on healthy nutritional habits and the beneficial effects of a regular physical activity practice for each volunteer personally. The physical fitness parameters related to the health of the volunteers were evaluated before and eight weeks after the interventional program. The study included 58 policemen working in São Paulo city, aged 34.9 ± 0.8 years (mean ± SEM). The application of the guidance program could decrease body fat percentage (BFP) (by 5.7%), abdominal circumference (ABC) (by 1.1%), and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (by 2.4%), and increase flexibility (FLEX) (by 8.8%) and abdominal resistance (ABR) (by 5.2%). A change in physical activity behavior was also reported. Increases in the number of volunteers in very active (VA) (3.45%), active (ACT) (10.35%), and irregular active A (IRA) (5.17%) groups, and reductions in irregular active B (IRB) (13.79%) and sedentary (SED) (5.17%) groups were found. The policemen were classified (before-after) as obese (29.3%-24.1%) and pre-obese (39.7%-43.1%). Foty-three percent of preobese policemen exhibited more daily physical activity after the guidance program implementation. The guidance program was effective in increasing the adherence of pre-obese policemen to the physical activity practice, reduced the percentage of body fat and abdominal circumference, and improved lower limbs flexibility and abdominal muscle resistance.

“…Psychological stress is recognised as an important risk factor status in CVD, diabetes, and MetS [ 3 – 5 ]. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is one of the more popular, subjective tools for assessing psychological stress, even though only few studies have addressed the association between perceived stress and diabetes [ 4 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Background: The present study investigated the relationships between psychological stress indices and oxidative stress marker, also when combined with emergent insulin resistance (IR), in the non-diabetic, middle-aged subjects, exposed to frequent/chronic psychological stressors. Methods: Cross-sectional data from a cohort of non-diabetic police officers (n = 234; 19F), aged 27-56 years, were used. Plasma inflammatory (CRP, TNF-α), oxidative stress (free 8-iso-prostaglandin F 2α ; 8-iso-PGF 2α) markers, and insulin were measured. The value of homeostasis model assessment of IR index (HOMA-IR) was assumed the threshold value of IR, i.e. 2.04. Free cortisol in urine and perceived stress (psychological stress indices) were also measured. Results: In the IR subjects, most biochemical variables, inflammatory markers and urine cortisol were significantly higher, as compared to the non-IR ones. Psychological stress indices were associated with plasma 8-iso-PGF 2α [B = 0.139, 95% CI (0.048, 0.230), p = 0.002, and B = 0.007, 95% CI (0.0006, 0.014), p = 0.03; for perceived stress level and cortisol, respectively]. Positive associations were established between plasma 8-iso-PGF 2α [B = 0.069, 95% CI (0.016-0.120), p = 0.01] and urine cortisol [B = 0.003, 95% CI (0.0003, 0.005), p = 0.02] with HOMA-IR. Metabolic syndrome, as defined by IDF criteria, was established in 110 study subjects, whereas 136 of them were hypertensive. Waist circumference [B = 0.056, 95% CI (0.039, 0.074), p < 0.0001], and systolic blood pressure [B = 0.009, 95% CI (0.00003, 0.018), p = 0.04] were positively associated with HOMA-IR, whereas the association of HDL cholesterol [B = − 0.597, 95% CI (− 1.139, − 0.055), p = 0.03] was a negative one. Cortisol [OR = 1.007, 95% CI (1.002, 1.012), p = 0.006], and 8-iso-PGF 2α [OR = 1.103, 95% CI (1.010, 1.201), p = 0.02] affected the incidence of IR. After adjustment for metabolic syndrome (or its components), age, sex, and current smoking, the effects became non-significant. Out of metabolic syndrome components, waist circumference [OR 4.966, 95% CI (2.29, 10.751), p = 0.00004] and hypertriglyceridemia [OR 1.993, 95% CI (1.063, 3.736), p = 0.03] increased the chance of IR incidence. Conclusions: Both psychological stress indices were associated with oxidative stress, but only cortisol with HOMA-IR. In the subjects exposed to frequent/chronic psychological stressors, cortisol and oxidative stress marker affected IR incidence, being statistically attenuated, though, following adjustment for metabolic syndrome, or its components.

“…The median survival time for patients with IPAH who do not receive effective drug intervention is 2.8 years, and various therapeutic strategies for IPAH are derived from treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension ( 1 , 2 ). Previous studies have identified in part the etiology, pathology and genetic characteristics of these conditions, which has provided guidance for prevention and treatment ( 3 – 6 ). However, the exact mechanisms of these diseases remain unclear, and further investigation of the biological characteristics is required in order to determine their pathological mechanisms.…”

Coronary heart disease (CHD), idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and pulmonary heart disease (PHD) are circulatory system diseases that may simultaneously emerge in a patient and they are often treated together in clinical practice. However, the molecular mechanisms connecting these three diseases remain unclear. In order to determine the multidimensional characteristic correlations between these three diseases based on genomic networks to aid in medical decision-making, genes from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database were obtained, and applied network construction and modularized analysis were conducted. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to explore the associations between overlapping genes, modules and pathways. A total of 29 overlapping genes and 3 common modules were identifed for the 3 diseases. Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis and the arachidonic acid metabolism are common pathways, and the biosynthetic process is suggested to be the major function involved in the three diseases. The current study reported, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, the role of glycosphingolipid biosynthesis in IPAH and PHD. The present study provided an improved understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying CHD, IPAH and PHD. The overlapping genes, modules and pathways suggest novel areas for further research, and drug targets. The observations of the current study additionally suggest that drug indications can be broadened because of the presence of common targets.
