Abstract
Inducing a heat-acclimated phenotype via repeated heat stress improves exercise capacity and reduces athletes̓ risk of hyperthermia and heat illness. Given the increased number of international sporting events hosted in countries with warmer climates, heat acclimation strategies are increasingly popular among endurance athletes to optimize performance in hot environments. At the tissue level, completing endurance exercise under heat stress may augment endurance training adaptation, including mitochondrial and cardiovascular remodeling due to increased perturbations to cellular homeostasis as a consequence of metabolic and cardiovascular load, and this may improve endurance training adaptation and subsequent performance. This review provides an up-to-date overview of the metabolic impact of heat stress during endurance exercise, including proposed underlying mechanisms of altered substrate utilization. Against this metabolic backdrop, the current literature highlighting the role of heat stress in augmenting training adaptation and subsequent endurance performance will be presented with practical implications and opportunities for future research.

Abstract
The healing of diabetic wounds is hindered by various factors, including bacterial infection, macrophage dysfunction, excess proinflammatory cytokines, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and sustained hypoxia. These factors collectively impede cellular behaviors and the healing process. Consequently, this review presents intelligent hydrogels equipped with multifunctional capacities, which enable them to dynamically respond to the microenvironment and accelerate wound healing in various ways, including stimuli -responsiveness, injectable self-healing, shape -memory, and conductive and real-time monitoring properties. The relationship between the multiple functions and wound healing is also discussed. Based on the microenvironment of diabetic wounds, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic strategies are combined with multifunctional hydrogels. The application of multifunctional hydrogels in the repair of diabetic wounds is systematically discussed, aiming to provide guidelines for fabricating hydrogels for diabetic wound healing and exploring the role of intelligent hydrogels in the therapeutic processes.

Abstract
Previously, it was shown that both blood flow and angiogenesis in the ischemic hind limb of diabetic rats were increased upon CO2 treatment for 4 weeks. In the present study, we have compared the effects of 6 weeks CO2 therapy in diabetic rats with or without peripheral ischemia. Diabetes was induced in rats by a tail vein injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg body weight), whereas peripheral ischemia was produced by occluding the femoral artery at 2 weeks of inducing diabetes. Both diabetic and diabetic-ischemic animals were treated with or without CO2 water-bath at 37 °C for 6 weeks (30 min/day; 5 days/week) starting at 2 weeks, after the induction of ischemia. CO2 treatment did not affect heart rate and R-R interval as well as plasma levels of creatine kinase, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoproteins. Unlike the levels of plasma Ox-LDL, MDA and TNF-α, the levels of NO in diabetic group were increased by CO2 water-bath treatment. On the other hand, the levels of plasma Ox-LDL and MDA were decreased whereas that of NO was increased without any changes in TNF-α level in diabetic-ischemic animals upon CO2 therapy. Treatment of diabetic animals with CO2 increased peak, mean and minimal blood flow by 20, 49 and 43% whereas these values were increased by 53, 26 and 80% in the diabetic-ischemic group by CO2 therapy, respectively. Blood vessel count in diabetic and diabetic-ischemic skeletal muscles was increased by 73 and 136% by CO2 therapy, respectively. These data indicate that peripheral ischemia augmented the increase in blood flow and development of angiogenesis in diabetic skeletal muscle upon CO2 therapy. It is suggested that greater beneficial effects of CO2 therapy in diabetic-ischemic animals in comparison to diabetic group may be a consequence of difference of changes in the redox-sensitive signal transduction mechanisms.

Abstract
Achieving precision treatment in bone tissue engineering (BTE) remains a challenge. Photothermal therapy (PTT), as a form of precision therapy, has been extensively investigated for its safety and efficacy. It has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of orthopedic diseases such as bone tumors, postoperative infections and osteoarthritis. However, the high temperatures associated with PTT can lead to certain limitations and drawbacks. In recent years, researchers have explored the use of biomaterials for mild photothermal therapy (MPT), which offers a promising approach for addressing these limitations. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms underlying MPT and presents a compilation of photothermal agents and their utilization strategies for bone tissue repair. Additionally, the paper discusses the future prospects of MPT-assisted bone tissue regeneration, aiming to provide insights and recommendations for optimizing material design in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 33% of the general population worldwide suffer musculoskeletal conditions, with low back pain being the single leading cause of disability globally. Multimodal therapeutic options are available to relieve the pain associated with muscular disorders, including physical, complementary, and pharmacological therapies. However, existing interventions are not disease modifying and have several limitations. METHOD Literature review. RESULTS In this context, the use of nonthermal infrared light delivered via patches, fabrics, and garments containing infrared-emitting bioceramic minerals have been investigated. Positive effects on muscular cells, muscular recovery, and reduced inflammation and pain have been reported both in preclinical and clinical studies. There are several hypotheses on how infrared may contribute to musculoskeletal pain relief, however, the full mechanism of action remains unclear. This article provides an overview of the physical characteristics of infrared radiation and its biological effects, focusing on those that could potentially explain the mechanism of action responsible for the relief of musculoskeletal pain. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current evidence, the following pathways have been considered: upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, increase in nitric oxide bioavailability, anti-inflammatory effects, and reduction in oxidative stress.

Abstract
Few noninvasive therapies currently exist to improve functional capacity in people with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that unsupervised, home-based leg heat therapy (HT) using water-circulating trousers perfused with warm water would improve walking performance in patients with PAD. Patients with symptomatic PAD were randomized into either leg HT (n = 18) or a sham treatment (n = 16). Patients were provided with water-circulating trousers and a portable pump and were asked to apply the therapy daily (7 days/wk, 90 min/session) for 8 wk. The primary study outcome was the change from baseline in 6-min walk distance at 8-wk follow-up. Secondary outcomes included the claudication onset-time, peak walking time, peak pulmonary oxygen consumption and peak blood pressure during a graded treadmill test, resting blood pressure, the ankle-brachial index, postocclusive reactive hyperemia in the calf, cutaneous microvascular reactivity, and perceived quality of life. Of the 34 participants randomized, 29 completed the 8-wk follow-up. The change in 6-min walk distance at the 8-wk follow-up was significantly higher (P = 0.029) in the group exposed to HT than in the sham-treated group (Sham: median: -0.9; 25%, 75% percentiles: -5.8, 14.3; HT: median: 21.3; 25%, 75% percentiles: 10.1, 42.4, P = 0.029). There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes between the HT and sham group at 8-wk follow-up. The results of this pilot study indicate that unsupervised, home-based leg HT is safe, well-tolerated, and elicits a clinically meaningful improvement in walking tolerance in patients with symptomatic PAD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first sham-controlled trial to examine the effects of home-based leg heat therapy (HT) on walking performance in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). We demonstrate that unsupervised HT using water-circulating trousers is safe, well-tolerated, and elicits meaningful changes in walking ability in patients with symptomatic PAD. This home-based treatment option is practical, painless, and may be a feasible adjunctive therapy to counteract the decline in lower extremity physical function in patients with PAD.

Abstract
Most traditional wound dressings passively offer a protective barrier for the wounds, which lacks the initiative in stimulating tissue regeneration. In addition, cutaneous wound healing is usually accompanied by various complicated conditions, including bacterial infection, skin cancer, and damaged skin appendages, bringing further challenges for wound management in clinic. Therefore, an ideal wound dressing should not only actively stimulate wound healing but also hold multi-functions for solving problems associated with different specific wound conditions. Recent studies have demonstrated that silicate bioceramics and bioglasses are one type of promising materials for the development of wound dressings, as they can actively accelerate wound healing by regulating endothelial cells, dermal fibroblasts, macrophages, and epidermal cells. In particular, silicate-based biomaterials can be further functionalized by specific structural design or doping with functional components, which endow materials with enhanced bioactivities or expanded physicochemical properties such as photothermal, photodynamic, chemodynamic, or imaging properties. The functionalized materials can be used to address wound healing with different demands including but not limited to antibacterial, anticancer, skin appendages regeneration, and wound monitoring. In this review, we summarized the current research on the development of silicate-based multi-functional wound dressings and prospected the development of advanced wound dressings in the future.

Abstract
Background The risk of cardiovascular disease is known to increase after menopause. Mitochondria, which undergo quality control via mitochondrial autophagy, play a crucial role in the regulation of cellular senescence. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the effect of estrogen‐mediated protection from senescence on arteries is attributed to the induction of mitochondrial autophagy. Methods and Results We used human umbilical vein cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and 12‐week‐old female C57BL/6 mice. The administration of 17β‐estradiol (E2) to cells inhibited cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction. Furthermore, E2 increased mitochondrial autophagy, maintaining mitochondrial function, and retarding cellular senescence. Of note, E2 did not modulate LC3 (light chain 3), and ATG7 (autophagy related 7) deficiency did not suppress mitochondrial autophagy in E2‐treated cells. Conversely, E2 increased the colocalization of Rab9 with LAMP2 (lysosomal‐associated membrane protein 2) signals. The E2‐mediated effects on mitochondrial autophagy were abolished by the knockdown of either Ulk1 or Rab9. These results suggest that E2‐mediated mitochondrial autophagy is associated with Rab9‐dependent alternative autophagy. E2 upregulated SIRT1 (sirtuin 1) and activated LKB1 (liver kinase B1), AMPK (adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase), and Ulk1, indicating that the effect of E2 on the induction of Rab9‐dependent alternative autophagy is mediated by the SIRT1/LKB1/AMPK/Ulk1 pathway. Compared with the sham‐operated mice, ovariectomized mice showed reduced mitochondrial autophagy and accelerated mitochondrial dysfunction and arterial senescence; these detrimental alterations were successfully rescued by the administration of E2. Conclusions We showed that E2‐induced mitochondrial autophagy plays a crucial role in the delay of vascular senescence. The Rab9‐dependent alternative autophagy is behind E2‐induced mitochondrial autophagy.

Abstract
Heat therapy (HT) has emerged as a potential adjunctive therapy to alleviate the symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD), but the mechanisms underlying the positive effects of this treatment modality remain undefined. Using a model of diet-induced obesity (DIO) and ischemia-induced muscle damage, we tested the hypothesis that HT would alter body composition, promote vascular growth and mitochondrial biogenesis, and improve skeletal muscle function. Male DIO C57Bl/6J mice underwent bilateral ligation of the femoral artery and were randomly allocated to receive HT or a control intervention for 30 min daily over 3 wk. When compared with a group of lean, sham-operated animals, ligated DIO mice exhibited increases in body and fat masses, exercise intolerance, and contractile dysfunction of the isolated soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles. Repeated HT averted an increase in body mass induced by high-fat feeding due to reduced fat accrual. Fat mass was ∼25% and 29% lower in the HT group relative to controls after 2 and 3 wk of treatment, respectively. Muscle mass relative to body mass and maximal absolute force of the EDL, but not SOL, were higher in animals exposed to HT. There were no group differences in skeletal muscle capillarization, the expression of angiogenic factors, mitochondrial content, and the diameter of the gracilis arteries. These findings indicate that HT reduces diet-induced fat accumulation and rescues skeletal muscle contractile dysfunction. This practical treatment may prove useful for diabetic and obese PAD patients who are unable to undergo conventional exercise regimens.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The epidemic of obesity-related dyslipidemia and diabetes is a central cause of the increasing burden of peripheral artery disease (PAD), but few accessible therapies exist to mitigate the metabolic and functional abnormalities in these patients. We report that daily exposure to heat therapy (HT) in the form of lower-body immersion in water heated to 39 °C for 3 weeks attenuates fat accumulation and weight gain, and improves muscle strength in obese mice with femoral artery occlusion.

Abstract
The treatment of chronic wounds is a major challenge in regenerative medicine, and angiogenesis is known to be critical for chronic wound healing. Hot springs with temperature in the range of 30-45 °C can promote blood circulation, and some hot spring elements including iron and silicon are also known to be active in promoting angiogenesis. Inspired by the hot spring function, we designed a novel bioactive photothermal hydrogel with "hot spring effect" based on fayalite (FA) and N, O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCS), which releases bioactive ions and has heating function to create hot ion environment in wound area. The hot spring-mimetic hydrogel showed significant enhancement of angiogenesis and chronic wound healing in vivo due to the in situ heating through photothermal effect combined with the bioactive ions (Fe2+ and SiO44-) released from the hydrogel. It is further confirmed that the synergetic effect of the mild heating and bioactive ions on angiogenesis was mainly because of the activation of different angiogenic factors and signaling pathways. Our study suggests that the hot spring-mimetic approach may be an effective strategy to design bioactive materials for promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The therapeutic effects of heat have been harnessed for centuries to treat skeletal muscle disorders and other pathologies. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying the well-documented clinical benefits associated with heat therapy (HT) remain poorly defined. Foundational studies in cultured skeletal muscle and endothelial cells, as well as in rodents, revealed that episodic exposure to heat stress activates a number of intracellular signaling networks and promotes skeletal muscle remodeling. Renewed interest in the physiology of HT in recent years has provided greater understanding of the signals and molecular players involved in the skeletal muscle adaptations to episodic exposures to HT. It is increasingly clear that heat stress promotes signaling mechanisms involved in angiogenesis, muscle hypertrophy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and glucose metabolism through not only elevations in tissue temperature but also other perturbations, including increased intramyocellular calcium and enhanced energy turnover. The few available translational studies seem to indicate that the earlier observations in rodents also apply to human skeletal muscle. Indeed, recent findings revealed that both local and whole-body HT may promote capillary growth, enhance mitochondrial content and function, improve insulin sensitivity and attenuate disuse-induced muscle wasting. This accumulating body of work implies that HT may be a practical treatment to combat skeletal abnormalities in individuals with chronic disease who are unwilling or cannot participate in traditional exercise-training regimens.

Abstract
To test if magnitudes of the beneficial actions of CO2 water bath therapy on blood flow and vascular density are dependent upon temperature, ischemia in the hind limb of rats was induced by occluding the left femoral artery for 2 weeks and the animals were exposed to water bath therapy with or without CO2 at 34 or 41 °C for 4 weeks (20 min treatment each day for 5 days/week). CO2 water bath therapy at 34 °C increased peak, minimal, and mean blood flow by 190%-600% in the ischemic limb. On the other hand, CO2 water bath treatment at 41 °C increased these parameters of blood flow by 37%, 55%, and 41%, respectively, in the ischemic limb. The small blood vessel count, an index of vascular density, in the ischemic limb was increased by CO2 water bath therapy at 34 and 41 °C by 32% and 122%, respectively. No changes in the ischemic animals by CO2 water bath therapy at 34 or 41 °C were observed in the heart rate, R-R interval, and plasma lipid or glucose levels. These data indicate that the beneficial effect of CO2 water bath therapy at 34 °C on blood flow in the ischemic muscle is greater whereas that on vascular density is smaller than changes in these parameters at 41 °C.

Abstract
Aim: Menopause causes arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development through decrease of estrogen. Recently, histone deacetylase SIRT1 has been reported to have protective effects against arterial senescence and atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between estrogen and SIRT1 in the context of menopause-induced arterial senescence is not well understood. The present study aims to investigate whether SIRT1 is involved in the etiology of menopause-induced arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development. Methods: Twelve-week old female apolipoprotein E-knockout (ApoE-KO) mice underwent ovariectomy (OVX) or sham surgery. Results: SIRT1 expression and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation in the aorta were significantly lower in OVX mice than they were in sham mice (OVX vs. sham, n = 5 per group). Senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, protein expression of Ac-p53 and PAI-1, and aortic atherosclerosis lesions were significantly greater in OVX mice than they were in sham mice. Administration of 17β-estradiol (E2) for eight weeks to OVX mice restored aortic SIRT1 expression, activated eNOS, and retarded OVX-induced arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development (E2 vs. control, n = 5 per group). The effects of E2 on SIRT1 upregulation, anti-senescence and anti-atherosclerosis were attenuated by administration of a SIRT1 inhibitor, sirtinol. In vitro experiment using human endothelial cells demonstrated that E2 also increased SIRT1 expression and retarded oxidized low density lipoprotein-induced premature senescence, which were also abolished by sirtinol. These results suggested that estrogen modulated arterial senescence and atherosclerosis through SIRT1. Additionally a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), bazedoxifene, also augmented SIRT1 and inhibited arterial senescence and atherosclerotic development (SERM vs. control, n = 3 per group). Conclusions: Downregulation of SIRT1 causes OVX-induced arterial senescence and atherosclerosis in ApoE-KO mice. Administration of estrogen or SERM enables OVX mice to restore these alterations by SIRT1 induction.

Abstract
Passive heat therapy (PHT) has been proposed as an alternative intervention to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in individuals who are unable or unwilling to exercise. This study aimed to make the first comparison of the effect of PHT and MICT on 1) skeletal muscle capillarization and endothelial-specific endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) content and 2) mitochondrial density, glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4), and intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) content. Twenty young sedentary males (21 ± 1 yr, body mass index 25 ± 1 kg/m2) were allocated to either 6 wk of PHT (n = 10; 40-50 min at 40°C in a heat chamber, 3×/wk) or MICT (n = 10; time-matched cycling at ~65% V̇o2peak). Muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis muscle before and after training. Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to assess changes in skeletal muscle mitochondrial density (mitochondrial marker cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4), GLUT4, and IMTG content, capillarization, and endothelial-specific eNOS content. V̇o2peak and whole body insulin sensitivity were also assessed. PHT and MICT both increased capillary density (PHT 21%; MICT 12%), capillary-fiber perimeter exchange index (PHT 15%; MICT 12%) (P < 0.05), and endothelial-specific eNOS content (PHT 8%; MICT 12%) (P < 0.05). However, unlike MICT (mitochondrial density 40%; GLUT4 14%; IMTG content 70%) (P < 0.05), PHT did not increase mitochondrial density (11%, P = 0.443), GLUT4 (7%, P = 0.217), or IMTG content (1%, P = 0.957). Both interventions improved aerobic capacity (PHT 5%; MICT 7%) and whole body insulin sensitivity (PHT 15%; MICT 36%) (P < 0.05). Six-week PHT in young sedentary males increases skeletal muscle capillarization and eNOS content to a similar extent as MICT; however, unlike MICT, PHT does not affect skeletal muscle mitochondrial density, GLUT4, or IMTG content. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The effect of 6-wk passive heat therapy (PHT) compared with moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) was investigated in young sedentary males. PHT induced similar increases in skeletal muscle capillarization and endothelial-specific endothelial nitric oxide synthase content to MICT. Unlike MICT, PHT did not improve skeletal muscle mitochondrial density, glucose transporter 4, or intramuscular triglyceride content. These microvascular adaptations were paralleled by improvements in V̇o2peak and insulin sensitivity, suggesting that microvascular adaptations may contribute to functional improvements following PHT.

Abstract
Far-infrared (FIR) is a form of thermal radiation, which may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. Clinical studies suggest that FIR irradiation may have therapeutic effects in heart failure, myocardial ischaemia and may improve flow and survival of arteriovenous fistula. Animal studies have suggested a wide range of potential mechanisms involving endothelial nitric oxide synthase and nitric oxide bioavailability, oxidative stress, heat shock proteins and endothelial precursor cells. However, the exact cellular and molecular mechanism of FIR on the cardiovascular system remains elusive. The purpose of this review is to discuss the current literature, focusing on mechanistic studies involving the cardiovascular system, and with a view to highlighting areas for future investigation.

Abstract
We focused on the analgesic effect of hot packs for mechanical hyperalgesia in physically inactive rats. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: control, physical inactivity (PI), PI + sham treatment (PI + sham), and PI + hot pack treatment (PI + hot pack) groups. Physical inactivity rats wore casts on both hind limbs in full plantar flexed position for 4 weeks. Hot pack treatment was performed for 20 min a day, 5 days a week. Although mechanical hyperalgesia and the up-regulation of NGF in the plantar skin and gastrocnemius muscle were observed in the PI and the PI + sham groups, these changes were significantly suppressed in the PI + hot pack group. The present results clearly demonstrated that hot pack treatment was effective in reducing physical inactivity-induced mechanical hyperalgesia and up-regulation of NGF in plantar skin and gastrocnemius muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) has been implicated in plaque instability and rupture in atherosclerotic lesions, although the mechanisms by which IPH progresses remain largely unknown. In this study, apolipoprotein E-deficient mice with carotid artery ligation and cuff placement around the artery were used, and pro-inflammatory cytokines that are implicated in IPH were analyzed.Methods and Results:The expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) increased significantly following cuff placement compared with mice with carotid artery ligation alone. IPH occurred in the cuff-placed carotid artery following treatment with the negative control (NC) small interfering RNA (siRNA). However, the occurrence was significantly reduced in the cuff-placed carotid artery following treatment with an IL-1β siRNA. Neovessel formation was significantly reduced in the carotid artery treated with the NC siRNA compared with that treated with IL-1β siRNA. IL-1β significantly inhibited the tube formation and wound healing capacities of vascular endothelial cells in vitro. Furthermore, immunostaining of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) significantly increased in the carotid artery treated with the NC siRNA compared with that treated with IL-1β siRNA. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that endogenous IL-1β is implicated in the progression of IPH via the inhibition of physiological angiogenesis in the atherosclerotic plaque, leading to the formation of leaky neovessels. Furthermore, the stimulation of MMP-9 expression may also contribute to the formation of leaky neovessels.

Abstract
Although CO2 is produced during the oxidation of different substrates in all types of cells, the role of this gas in the regulation of cellular function is not clearly understood. Since changes in several signal transduction as well as apoptotic, anti-apoptotic, and other proteins are known to modify cellular function, we investigated if some of these proteins are altered upon incubating the rat hind leg skeletal muscle in a medium enriched with CO2 (1000-1200 ppm) for 30 min. CO2 was observed to depress phosphorylated levels of ERK1 (P44) and ERK2 (P42) without affecting the unphosphorylated content of these MAPK proteins. On the other hand, no change in p38 MAPK protein was found but the content of its degradation product 30 kDa proteins (both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated) was decreased. No alterations in the content of other signaling proteins (PKA and Akt), inflammatory molecule (TNF-α), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were seen upon exposure of the muscle to CO2. The content for apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins (Bad and Bcl2), except for a decrease in caspase 3, were also not affected by CO2. These results indicate that CO2 may serve as a gasotransmitter to regulate cellular function by depressing MAPK and caspase 3 activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a disease of neurohumoral dysfunction and current pharmacological therapies for HF have not improved mortality rates, thus requiring additional new strategies. Waon therapy for HF patients may be a complementary strategy with peripheral vasodilation via nitric oxide. We hypothesized that Waon therapy would improve neurohumoral factors, such as natriuretic peptides (NP) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in HF.Methods and Results:Plasma samples were collected from patients enrolled in the WAON-CHF Study (Waon therapy (n=77) or control (n=73)) before and after the treatment. B-type NP (BNP), C-type NP (CNP), and aldosterone (Aldo) levels were measured by respective specific radioimmunoassays. Although clinical parameters significantly improved in the Waon group compared with the control group, BNP, Aldo, and CNP levels were not statistically different between groups. On subanalysis with patient variables, BNP levels were improved in the Waon group treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin-receptor blocker or spironolactone. In addition, Aldo levels were improved in the Waon group patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and inotrope use, and CNP levels were improved in Waon group patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. These changes were not observed in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Waon therapy may accelerate the favorable actions of RAAS modulators in HF. (WAON-CHF Study: UMIN000006705).

Abstract
Heat therapy has been shown to promote capillary growth in skeletal muscle and in the heart in several animal models, but the effects of this therapy on angiogenic signaling in humans are unknown. We evaluated the acute effect of lower body heating (LBH) and unilateral thigh heating (TH) on the expression of angiogenic regulators and heat shock proteins (HSPs) in healthy young individuals. Exposure to LBH (n = 18) increased core temperature (Tc) from 36.9 ± 0.1 to 37.4 ± 0.1°C (P < 0.01) and average leg skin temperature (Tleg) from 33.1 ± 0.1 to 39.6 ± 0.1°C (P < 0.01), but did not alter the levels of circulating angiogenic cytokines and bone marrow-derived proangiogenic cells (CD34(+)CD133(+)). In skeletal muscle, the change in mRNA expression from baseline of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin 2 (ANGPT2), chemokines CCL2 and CX3CL1, platelet factor-4 (PF4), and several members of the HSP family was higher 30 min after the intervention in the individuals exposed to LBH (n = 11) compared with the control group (n = 12). LBH also reduced the expression of transcription factor FOXO1 (P = 0.03). Exposure to TH (n = 14) increased Tleg from 32.8 ± 0.2 to 40.3 ± 0.1°C (P < 0.05) but Tc remained unaltered (36.8 ± 0.1°C at baseline and 36.9 ± 0.1°C at 90 min). This intervention upregulated the expression of VEGF, ANGPT1, ANGPT2, CCL2, and HSPs in skeletal muscle but did not affect the levels of CX3CL1, FOXO-1, and PF4. These findings suggest that both LBH and TH increase the expression of factors associated with capillary growth in human skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction are associated with a pro-inflammatory state and reduced NO bioavailability. Effects on myocardial structural and molecular alterations were compared between Waon therapy (WT; repeated dry sauna therapy) and statin in hypertensive rats. Seven-week-old Dahl salt-sensitive rats were assigned to 4 groups: low-salt (LS) diet, high-salt (HS) diet, HS diet with oral fluvastatin (FL; 10 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks) starting from the age of 9 weeks, and HS diet with WT treatment in a far-infrared dry sauna (39 °C for 15 min followed by 34 °C for 20 min once daily for 4 weeks). HS rats developed left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with preserved LV systolic function. WT reduced LV wall thickness and myocyte cross-sectional area along with decreased levels of myocardial ANP and BNP mRNA expression compared with HS rats. Reduction in LV fibrosis and increase in capillary density in WT animals were accompanied by reductions in myocardial levels of TGF-β1, MMP2, p22(phox) and gp91(phox) mRNA expression, and increases in myocardial levels of VEGF and HSP90 mRNA and phosphorylated eNOS protein. These effects were comparable between WT and FL animals. WT improves structural and molecular alterations in salt-induced hypertensive rats similarly to fluvastatin.

Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of our study was to verify the inhibitory effects of static
intervention (heat load and muscle stretching) on disuse-related adaptation changes in the
soleus muscle and to compare these effects across different sites along its longitudinal
axis. [Subjects] Forty 8-week-old male Wistar rats. [Methods] The effects of heat load
and/or muscle stretching in the rat soleus during hindlimb suspension were evaluated by
measuring the cross-sectional area of the muscle fibers, succinate dehydrogenase activity,
and number of capillaries in the proximal, middle, and distal regions. [Results] With no
intervention the proximal region showed the highest reduction in the cross-sectional area,
whereas the distal region showed the highest reduction in succinate dehydrogenase activity
and the number of capillaries due to hindlimb suspension. These differences between the
proximal and distal regions decreased with both interventions, and the effects were most
pronounced with a combination of heat load and muscle stretching. [Conclusion] Differences
in the muscle structure between the proximal and distal regions increased due to hindlimb
suspension, and this heterogeneity associated with muscle disuse was inhibited by static
intervention including heat load and muscle stretching. Furthermore, the combination of
heat load and muscle stretching most reduced the heterogeneity.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of heat treatment on glucocorticoid (GC)-induced myopathy. Eight-week-old Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the control, Dex, and Dex + Heat groups. Dexamethasone (2 mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously 6 days per week for 2 weeks in the Dex and Dex + Heat group. In the Dex + Heat group, heat treatment was performed by immersing hindlimbs in water at 42 °C for 60 min, once every 3 days for 2 weeks. The extensor digitorum longus muscle was extracted following 2 weeks of experimentation. In the Dex + Heat group, muscle fiber diameter, capillary/muscle fiber ratio, and level of heat shock protein 72 were significantly higher and atrogene expression levels were significantly lower than in the Dex group. Our results suggest that heat treatment inhibits the development of GC-induced myopathy by decreasing atrogene expression and increasing angiogenesis.

Abstract
Previous studies have confirmed that heat shock protein 90 overexpression can lead to dopaminergic neuronal death. This study was designed to further investigate what effects are produced by heat shock protein 90 after endurance exercise training. Immunohistochemistry results showed that exercise training significantly inhibited heat shock protein 90 overexpression in the soleus and gastrocnemius in Parkinson's disease rats, which is a potential therapeutic target for ameliorating skeletal muscle abnormalities in Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
AIM Highly concentrated carbon dioxide (CO2) is thought to be useful for ischemic diseases. We investigated whether treatment with a few micrometers of CO2 molecules atomized via two fluidnozzles (CO2 mist) exerts an angiogenic effect in a mouse ischemic hindlimb model. METHODS Mice with unilateral hindlimb ischemia were divided into untreated (UT), 100% CO2 gas alone-treated (CG), mixed air (O2; 20%, N2; 80%) mist-treated (AM) and 100% CO2 mist-treated (CM) groups. The lower body of the mice was encased in a polyethylene bag filled with each gaseous agent using a gas mist generator for 10 minutes daily. RESULTS According to a laser Doppler analysis, the ischemic hindlimb blood flow was persistently higher after the seventh day of induction of ischemia in the CM group than in the UT group. The capillary density was also greater in the CM group on day 28 compared with that observed in the UT group. In addition, the parameters in the AM and CG groups were similar to those obtained in the UT group. The observed effects were abolished by the administration of an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). The vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA expression and protein levels and the phosphorylated endothelial NOS level were increased in the CM group compared with that observed in the UT group. A proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry identified novel protein candidates regulated by CO2 mist. CONCLUSION Percutaneous CO2 mist therapy may be useful for treating ischemia-induced angiogenesis.
