Hi, i have a problem loading the file. I get these message:

scimeetr_list <- import_wos_files(files_directory = "/Users/alexanderaloy/Documents/strings/WOS/") Error in strsplit(i_lsci$dfsci$CR, "[;][ ]") : non-character argument

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

Because the problem is at the import step, I would need to see the content of the Wos/ and Scopus/ folder. Or, at least, a very representative sample of it.

Would you be willing to share those file by email? If so, maxime(dot)rivest2(at)mail(dot)mcgill(dot)ca

The first thing I would check is whether each folder contains only wos or scopus files and not both, and whether they have the approriate format.

Based on the cause of the problem I will try to improve the error message.

yongski11 commented 6 years ago

Thanks for the reply, that was a quick one!

Yes it has to do something with the format of the exported files. Me and another student have exactly the same issue, but have different seach string topics.

Attached is the Scopus (csv file format) and the WOS (Mac UTF-8 format).

All the best,

Alex

The aim of this study was to verify the effects of HD on biochemical and morphological parameters of rats that completed a resistance training protocol (RT; aquatic jump) for 8 weeks. Thirty-two adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n = 8 for each group): sedentary normal protein diet (SN-14%), sedentary high-protein diet (SH-35%), trained normal protein diet (TN-14%), and trained high-protein diet (TH-35%). Biochemical, tissue, and morphological measurements were made. Kidney (1.91 +/- 0.34) and liver weights (12.88 +/- 1.42) were higher in the SH. Soleus muscle weight was higher in the SH (0.22 +/- 0.03) when compared to all groups. Blood glucose (123.2 +/- 1.8), triglycerides (128.5 +/- 44.0), and HDL cholesterol levels (65.7 +/- 20.9) were also higher in the SH compared with the other experimental groups. Exercise reduced urea levels in the trained groups TN and TH (31.0 +/- 4.1 and 36.8 +/- 6.6), respectively. Creatinine levels were lower in TH and SH groups (0.68 +/- 0.12; 0.54 +/- 0.19), respectively. HD negatively altered renal morphology in SH, but when associated with RT, the apparent damage was partially reversed. In addition, the aquatic jump protocol reversed the damage to the gastrocnemius muscle caused by the HD. A high-protein diet promoted negative metabolic and morphological changes, while RT was effective in reversing these deleterious effects.

Voluntary exercise training restores anticontractile effect of NO in coronary arteries of adult rats with antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism NITRIC OXIDE-BIOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY English Article Coronary arteries; Endothelium; Hypothyroidism; Nitric oxide; 6-Propyl-2-thiouracil; Voluntary exercise ISCHEMIA-REPERFUSION INJURY; CARDIAC-FUNCTION; MATERNAL HYPOTHYROIDISM; ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION; FETAL HYPOTHYROIDISM; NITRIC-OXIDE; BLOOD-FLOW; DISEASE; ADAPTATIONS; PREGNANCY Introduction: Our recent study showed that NO-mediated anticontractile effect of endothelium is absent in coronary arteries of adult rats, which suffered from antenatal/early postnatal hypothyroidism. This study tested the hypothesis that exercise training would improve such detrimental consequences of early thyroid deficiency. Design and methods: Wistar dams received propylthiouracil (PTU, 7 ppm) in drinking water during gestation and two weeks postpartum; control dams received tap water. Six-week-old male offspring of control (CON) and PTU dams was divided into sedentary (CON-Sed, n = 12; PTU-Sed, n = 10) and trained (CON-Tr, n = 12; PTU-Tr, n = 10) groups; the latter had 24-h access to running wheels. Eight weeks later coronary arteries were studied by wire myography. Anticontractile effect of NO was assessed by the effects of NOS inhibitor L-NNA on the basal tone and contractile response to U46619. Oxidative phosphorylation complexes and eNOS were estimated by Western blotting. Results: T-3/T-4 and TSH levels (ELISA) were normalized in the progeny of PTU-treated dams at the age of 6 weeks and were not affected by training. Total running distance did not differ between CON-Tr and PTU-Tr. The contents of oxidative phosphorylation complexes were increased post-training in triceps brachii muscle from CON-Tr and PTU-Tr and in heart from PTU-Tr. Coronary arteries of PTU-Sed compared to CON-Sed demonstrated higher basal tone and contractile response to U46619, which were not further increased by L-NNA. The effects of L-NNA on the basal tone and contractile response to U46619 did not differ in CON-Tr and PTU-Tr groups, but were elevated in PTU-Tr compared to PTU-Sed group. PTU-Tr rats in comparison to PTU-Sed group had higher eNOS content in heart. Responses of coronary arteries to DEA/NO did not differ among all experimental groups. Conclusions: Long-lasting coronary endothelial dysfunction resulted from transient thyroid deficiency during the antenatal/early postnatal period can be corrected by voluntary exercise training.

Given the numerous benefits of exercise, exercise-induced mediators may be promising treatment targets for MI. C57BL/6 mice were fed 1-trifluoromethoxyphenyl-3-(1-propionylpiperidine-4-yl) urea (TPPU), a novel soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (sEHI), to increase epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) levels, for 1week before undergoing MI surgery. After 1-week recovery, the mice followed a prescribed exercise programme. Bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were isolated from the mice after 4weeks of exercise and cultured for 7days. Angiogenesis around the ischaemic area, EPC functions, and the expression of microRNA-126 (miR-126) and its target gene Spred1 were measured. The results were confirmed invitro by adding TPPU to EPC culture medium. ET significantly increased serum EET levels and promoted angiogenesis after MI. TPPU enhanced the effects of ET to reduce the infarct area and improve cardiac function after MI. ET increased EPC function and miR-126 expression, which were further enhanced by TPPU, while Spred1 expression was significantly down-regulated. Additionally, the protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (AKT/GSK3 beta) signalling pathway was activated after the administration of TPPU. EETs are a potential mediator of exercise-induced cardioprotection in mice after MI. TPPU enhances exercise-induced cardiac recovery in mice after MI by increasing EET levels and promoting angiogenesis around the ischaemic area.

However, immediate mitochondrial response to exercise and energetic substrate utilization is still unknown. We evaluate the mitochondrial physiology of two types rat skeletal muscle fibres immediately after a single session of high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) or aerobic exercise (AER). We found AER was able to reduce the ATP synthesis dependent oxygen flux in the tibialis (TA) when stimulated by complex I and II substrates. On the other hand, there was an increase of the maximum velocity (V-max) for glycerol-phosphate oxidation and V-max and affinity (K-M) of palmitoyl-carnitine oxidation (PC). The exercise did not affect oxygen flux coupled to ATP synthesis in red gastrocnemius (RG) but, surprisingly, reduced its affinity for PC, decreasing the apparent catalytic efficiency (V-max/K-M) of oxidation for PC. Neither exercise protocol was able to change the electron transfer system capacity of the mitochondria or markers of mitochondrial content. The AER group had increased H2O2 production compared to the SED and HIIE groups, with the mechanism being predominantly the escape of electrons through reverse flux in complex I and other sites in TA, and only through other sites in RG. There were no changes in the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Our results show that mitochondria from different muscles submitted to distinct exercise protocols show alterations in the specific fluxes of substrate utilization and oxygen metabolism, indicating that the dynamics of mitochondria are linked to the metabolic flexibility.

Spectrum of health condition in methyl isocyanate (MIC)-exposed survivors measured after 30 years of disaster ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH English Article Methyl isocyanate (MIC); Health of the MIC victims; Systemic complications; 30 years post MIC-disaster GAS LEAK; MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES; EXPOSURE SURROGATE; BHOPAL DISASTER; B6C3F1 MICE; F344/N RATS; MORBIDITY; RESIDENCE; RECOVERY; TOXICITY Health effects of methyl isocyanate (MIC) exposure were mostly reported on the one-time acute exposure in Bhopal population. Epidemiological survey conducted by the Indian apex body of health research has been reported as Technical Reports, which were lacking in peer review by the expert epidemiologic scientists. The present pilot survey was aimed to measure the health effects 30 years post disaster in MIC-exposed survivors. Questionnaire-based survey has captured every health complaint in 168 individuals and grouped as systemic functions for interpreting the long-term effects of MIC. Key health parameters, including reproductive outcome and respiratory/orthopedic/general morbidity, were prevalent among the severely exposed population compared to control and moderately exposed groups. The collective incidence of diabetes, hypertension, and cancer also was prevalent in the severely exposed group. Ophthalmic morbidity was almost similar in the three groups, rather with higher incidence in the control group, though not statistically significant. Among all health parameters, reproductive, ophthalmic, and respiratory effects were prevalent over others. Although the incidence of health problems has been declined among the survivors, long-term effect is apparent as scars of one-time acute exposure might trigger sequel of long-term effects. Additionally, acquisition of genetic rearrangements, survival of T cell sub-populations, variable latency of chemical effect on DNA nucleosides, nutritional status, occupational exposure, living environment, lifestyle, and overall gene-environment interaction might perturb individual immunity and favor onset of long-term illness in a scenario of background exposure to MIC. However, the exercise should be continued on a larger sample size for drawing a conclusive result on long-term MIC effect on survivors' health.

Obesity exacerbates the acute metabolic side effects of olanzapine PSYCHONEUROENDOCRINOLOGY English Article Obesity; Olanzapine; Glucose; Insulin resistance; Schizophrenia HEPATIC INSULIN-RESISTANCE; BODY-MASS INDEX; 2ND-GENERATION ANTIPSYCHOTICS; WEIGHT-GAIN; IN-VIVO; ATYPICAL ANTIPSYCHOTICS; INDUCED HYPERGLYCEMIA; GLUCOSE-INTOLERANCE; FAT OXIDATION; ANIMAL-MODEL Olanzapine is a second-generation antipsychotic used in the management of schizophrenia and various off-label conditions. The acute metabolic responses of olanzapine recapitulate many of the side effects associated with obesity. Obesity rates are high in the schizophrenic population, but it is unknown whether pre-existing obesity associated metabolic dysfunction augments the acute side effects of olanzapine. To address this question, we compared the responses to olanzapine in lean and high-fat diet-induced (HFD) obese mice. Four weeks of HFD (60% kcal from fat) led to obese, hyperglycemic, and insulin resistant mice. Olanzapine-induced hyperglycemia and systemic insulin resistance were exacerbated in HFD-induced obese mice. Olanzapine also profoundly inhibited insulin signalling in skeletal muscle and liver, which appears to be exacerbated by obesity. The greater olanzapine-induced hyperglycemia may also result from increased hepatic glucose output in obese mice as pyruvate challenge led to significantly higher blood glucose concentrations, with associated increases in hepatic content of gluconeogenic enzymes. Olanzapine also suppressed RER while acutely increasing oxygen consumption in obese mice. A single olanzapine treatment reduced physical activity for up to 24 h, regardless of obesity. Considering obesity is very common in the schizophrenic population, these data suggest that previous research may be under-estimating the severity of olanzapine's acute side effects.

The increased availability and intake of foods rich in saturated fat coincides with reduced N-3 consumption, yet how N-3 dietary deficiency during perinatal development modulates motivation for palatable food and interacts with a high-fat diet to affect body weight and emotional states is not clear. Pregnant C57BI6 mice and pups were subjected to diets either deficient or adequate (control) in N-3 until postnatal day 21. Adult male N-3 deficient or control offspring were tested in a progressive ratio operant task for sucrose motivated behavior or given pro-longed access to a saturated high-fat diet or chow followed by measures of energy balance and anxiety-like behavior in the elevated-plus maze and open field test. Brain fatty acid profiles were measured via gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Perinatal dietary N-3 deficiency lowered brain N-3 levels, augmented the rewarding effects of sucrose, heightened diet-induced weight gain and fat mass accumulation and diminished spontaneous physical activity. Finally, perinatal N-3 deficiency increased anxiety-like behaviour independent of diet in the open field but not in the elevated-plus maze test. Insufficient dietary N-3 during critical periods of developmental can amplify the obesogenic effects of saturated fat intake, enhance motivated behaviour for palatable foods and may elicit negative emotional states that can perpetuate overeating and obesity.

A neonatal hypoxia-ischemia model was created using Sprague-Dawley rats (P7), and these underwent EA stimulation and treadmill training from 3 to 5 weeks after hypoxia-ischemia induction. FA treatment was delivered via electrical stimulation (2 Hz, 1 mA) at two acupoints, Baihui (GV20) and Zusanli (ST36). Behavioral tests showed that EA alleviated motor dysfunction caused by hypoxia-ischemia on a rotarod test, and TM exercise alleviated motor and memory dysfunction seen on cylinder and passive avoidance tests. Combined therapy with EA and TM exercise showed synergistic effects on the cylinder, rotarod, and catwalk tests. TM exercise significantly restored corpus callosum thickness, and combined therapy with EA and TM restored myelin basic protein (MBP) levels in this region. While EA stimulation only increased activation of cAMP-response element hinging protein (CREB) in oligodendrocytes of the corpus callosum, TM exercise increased newly generated oligodendrocyte progenitor cells or oligodendrocytes via activation of CREB. Synergistic effects on oligodendrogenesis were also observed by the combined therapy. Furthermore, the combined therapy induced mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the cerebral cortex. These results demonstrate that combined therapy with EA and TM exercise may restore myelin components following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia via upregulation of oligodendrogenesis involving CREB/BDNF signaling, which subsequently improves motor and memory function. Therefore, combined therapy with EA and TM exercise offers another treatment option for functional recovery from injuries caused by neonatal hypoxia-ischemia, such as cerebral palsy.

The present study investigated the effects of postnatal exercise and enriched environment (EE) on alterations in water maze learning and hippocampal long-term potentiation (LIP) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels induced by exposure to morphine during prenatal period in rats. On gestation days 11-18, pregnant rats were injected twice daily with saline or morphine. Offspring were subjected to postnatal exercise and EE for 30 days and afterward, spatial learning and hippocampal LIP and BDNF levels were investigated. Prenatal morphine exposure impaired the spatial learning and hippocampal LIP in both male and female offspring. Interestingly, postnatal exercise and EE increased performance in the water maze and improved LIP in both prenatally saline and morphine-exposed male and female rats. Prenatal morphine exposure also caused a reduction in the hippocampal BDNF levels in the female, but not male rats, and postnatal exercise and EE alleviated this deficit. Our results demonstrate that postnatal exercise and EE can improve deficits in water maze learning and hippocampal LTP and BDNF levels caused by prenatal morphine exposure.

Cell components of the neurogenic niche are source of paracrine as well as membrane-bound factors such as Notch, Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, Wnts, Sonic Hedgehog, cytokines, and growth factors that regulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis and cell fate decision. The integration and coordinated action of multiple extrinsic and intrinsic cues drive a continuous decision process: if adult neural stem cells remain quiescent or proliferate, if they take a neuronal or a glial lineage, and if new cells proliferate, undergo apoptotic death, or survive. The proper balance in the molecular milieu of this neurogenic niche leads to the production of neurons in a higher rate as that of astrocytes. But this rate changes in face of microenvironment modifications as those driven by physical exercise or with neuroinflammation. In this work, we first review the cellular and molecular components of the subgranular zone, focusing on the molecules, active signaling pathways and genetic programs that maintain quiescence, induce proliferation, or promote differentiation. We then summarize the evidence regarding the role of neuroinflammation and physical exercise in the modulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis with emphasis on the activation of progression from adult neural stem cells to lineage-committed progenitors to their progeny mainly in murine models.

The failure of remyelination is mainly due to limitations in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) differentiation in the damaged area. Previous studies have shown that physical exercise can improve vascular cognitive impairment, but whether it can reverse the defect in remyelination during ischemic injury and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we observed the effects of physical exercise on chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) established by bilateral carotid artery occlusion. The cognitive function, myelin integrity, OPCs proliferation and differentiation, as well as microglia polarization were analyzed at 28 days after CCH. Besides, the expression of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal cascades were also evaluated. We found that physical exercise improved the cognitive function of rats with CCH, alleviated myelin injury, triggered OPCs proliferation and differentiation, facilitated microglia polarization toward M2, augmented the expression of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis, and reduced ERK and JNK phosphorylation. The results indicated that physical exercise improved the cognitive function of rats with CCH, possibly through microglial phenotype modulation and enhancement of oligodendrocytegenesis and remyelination. Moreover, the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis played an important role in this process by mediating ERK- and JNK-dependent pathways.

Whether these effects are exacerbated when offspring are receiving a high-fat diet remains unclear. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of maternal exercise before and during gestation on the offspring fed a high-fat/high-sucrose diet (HF) by assessing its body composition, pancreatic function and energy substrates handling by two major glucose-utilizing tissues: liver and muscle. Fifteen-week-old nulliparous female Wistar rats exercised 4weeks before as well as during gestation at a constant submaximal intensity (TR) or remained sedentary (CT). At weaning, pups from each group were fed either a standard diet (TRCD or CTCD) or a high-fat/high-sucrose diet (TRHF or CTHF) for 10weeks. Offspring from TR dams gained less weight compared to those from CT dams. Selected fat depots were larger with the HF diet compared to control diet (CD) but significantly smaller in TRHF compared to CTHF. Surprisingly, the insulin secretion index was higher in islets from HF offspring compared to CD. TR offspring showed a higher muscle insulin sensitivity estimated by the ratio of phosphorylated protein kinase B to total protein kinase B compared with CT offspring (+48%, P<0.05). With CD, permeabilized isolated muscle fibres from TR rats displayed a lower apparent affinity constant (K-m) for pyruvate and palmitoyl coenzyme A as substrates compared to the CT group (-46% and -58%, respectively, P<0.05). These results suggest that maternal exercise has positive effects on young adult offspring body composition and on muscle carbohydrate and lipid metabolism depending on the nutritional status. Key points Maternal training during gestation enhances offspring body composition and energy substrates handling in early adulthood. Offspring nutrition also plays a role as some beneficial effects of maternal training during gestation disappear after consumption of a high-fat diet.

The aim of this study is to explore the effect and mechanism of antioxidant MitoQuinone mesylate beta cyclodextrin complex (MMCC) ameliorates catch-up growth related metabolic disorders. Catch-up growth mice were created by restricting maternal food intake during the last week of gestation and providing high fat diet after weaning. Low birthweight mice and normal birthweight controls were randomly subjected to normal fat diet, high fat diet and high fat diet with MMCC drinking from the 4th week. MMCC treatment for 21 weeks slowed down the catch up growth and ameliorated catch-up growth related obesity, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. MMCC administration significantly inhibited the peroxidation of the membrane lipid and up-regulated the antioxidant enzymes Catalase and MnSOD. In addition, MMCC treatment effectively enhanced mitochondrial functions in skeletal muscle through the up-regulation of the ATP generation, and the promotion of mitochondrial replication and remodeling. To conclude, this study demonstrates that antioxidant MMCC effectively ameliorates catch-up growth related metabolic dysfunctions by increasing mitochondrial functions in skeletal muscle.

Fernando Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Leads to Enhanced Serine 9 Phosphorylation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 beta (GSK-3 beta) in the Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus of Adult Mouse ALCOHOLISM-CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH English Article Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders; Glycogen Synthase Kinase; Hippocampal Neurogenesis; Hippocampal Plasticity; Hilar Mossy Cells GRANULE CELLS; SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY; SPECTRUM DISORDERS; VOLUNTARY EXERCISE; ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT; SUBVENTRICULAR ZONE; STEM-CELLS; NEUROGENESIS; MEMORY; INHIBITION Background: The goal of this study was to evaluate the expression and serine 9 phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3 beta) within the adult hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) in a preclinical mouse model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. GSK-3 beta is a multifunctional kinase that modulates many hippocampal processes affected by gestational alcohol, including synaptic plasticity and adult neurogenesis. GSK-3 beta is a constitutively active kinase that is negatively regulated by phosphorylation at the serine 9 residue. Methods: We utilized a well-characterized limited access "drinking-in-the-dark" paradigm of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) and measured p(Ser9) GSK-3 beta and total GSK-3 beta within adult DG by Western blot analysis. In addition, we evaluated the expression pattern of both p(Ser9) GSK-3 beta and total GSK-3 beta within the adult hippocampal dentate of PAE and control mice using high-resolution confocal microscopy. Results: Our findings demonstrate a marked 2.0-fold elevation of p(Ser9) GSK-3 beta in PAE mice, concomitant with a more moderate 36% increase in total GSK-3 beta. This resulted in an approximate 63% increase in the p(Ser9) GSK-3 beta/GSK-3 beta ratio. Immunostaining revealed robust GSK-3 beta expression within Cornu Ammonis (CA) pyramidal neurons, hilar mossy cells, and a subset of GABAergic interneurons, with low levels of expression within hippocampal progenitors and dentate granule cells. Conclusions: These findings suggest that PAE may lead to a long-term disruption of GSK-3 beta signaling within the DG, and implicate mossy cells, GABAergic interneurons, and CA primary neurons as major targets of this dysregulation.

Denervation-related alterations and biological activity of miRNAs contained in exosomes released by skeletal muscle fibers SCIENTIFIC REPORTS English Article EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES; GENE-EXPRESSION; SATELLITE CELLS; CIRCULATING MICRORNAS; LINEAGE PROGRESSION; MUSCULAR-DYSTROPHY; MIR-206; EXERCISE; MICE; DIFFERENTIATION Exosomes are vesicles released by many eukaryotic cells; their cargo includes proteins, mRNA and microRNA (miR) that can be transferred to recipient cells and regulate cellular processes in an autocrine or paracrine manner. While cells of the myoblast lineage secrete exosomes, it is not known whether skeletal muscle fibers (myofibers) release exosomes. In this study, we found that cultured myofibers release nanovesicles that have bilamellar membranes and an average size of 60-130 nm, contain typical exosomal proteins and miRNAs and are taken up by C2C12 cells. miR-133a was found to be the most abundant myomiR in these vesicles while miR-720 was most enriched in exosomes compared to parent myofibers. Treatment of NIH 3T3 cells with myofiber-derived exosomes downregulated the miR-133a targets proteins Smarcd1 and Runx2, confirming that these exosomes have biologically relevant effects on recipient cells. Denervation resulted in a marked increase in miR-206 and reduced expression of miRs 1, 133a, and 133b in myofiber-derived exosomes. These findings demonstrate that skeletal muscle fibers release exosomes which can exert biologically significant effects on recipient cells, and that pathological muscle conditions such as denervation induce alterations in exosomal miR profile which could influence responses to disease states through autocrine or paracrine mechanisms.

Swim training attenuates the adverse remodeling of LV structural and mechanical properties in the early compensated phase of hypertension LIFE SCIENCES English Article Cardiac remodeling; Hypertension; Spontaneously hypertensive rats; Swim training; Cardiomyocytes RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM; HEART-FAILURE; GENETIC-HYPERTENSION; CARDIAC-HYPERTROPHY; MATRIX PROTEIN; RATS; EXERCISE; INHIBITION; EXPRESSION; FIBROSIS Aim: Investigate to what extent low-intensity swim training for six weeks counterbalances the adverse remodeling due to the advance of pathological hypertrophy in the left ventricle (LV) structural and mechanical properties in the early compensated phase of hypertension in male SHR. Main methods: Four-month-old male SHR and Wistar rats were randomly divided into Sed (sedentary) and Ex (exercised) groups. The exercised rats were submitted to a swimming protocol (1 h/day, 5 times/week, no additional load) for six weeks. LV tissue and isolated myocytes were used to assess structural and mechanical properties. Myocytes were stimulted at frequencies (F) of 1 and 3 Hz at 37 degrees C. Key findings: Exercised SHR showed improvement in cardiovascular parameters compared to sedentary SHR (mean arterial pressure: 13.22%; resting HR: 14.28.%). About structural and mechanical properties, swim training induced a decrease in LV myocyte thickness (10.85%), number of inflammatory cells (21.24%); collagen type III (74.23%) and type I (85.6%) fiber areas; amplitude of single myocyte shortening (47% to F1 and 28.46% to F3), timecourses of shortening (16.5% to F1 and 7.55% to F3) and relaxation (15.31% to F3) compared to sedentary SHR. Significance: Six weeks of swim training attenuates the adverse remodeling of LV structural and mechanical properties in the early compensated phase of hypertension in male SHR.

Recent studies indicate that voluntary exercise has beneficial effects on oligodendrogenesis and myelination. Here, we hypothesized that voluntary running would increase oligodendrocyte numbers in the corpus callosum after irradiation of the juvenile mouse brain. The brains of C57Bl/6J male mice were 6 Gy irradiated on postnatal day 9 during the main gliogenic developmental phase, resulting in a loss of oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Upon adulthood, the mice were injected with bromodeoxyuridine and allowed to exercise on a running wheel for four weeks. Cell proliferation and survival, Ascl1(+) oligodendrocyte precursor and Olig2(+) oligodendrocyte cell numbers as well as CC1(+) mature oligodendrocytes were quantified using immunohistology. Radiation induced a reduction in the number of Olig2(+) oligodendrocytes by nearly 50% without affecting production or survival of new

Hi Alexander,

In the Wos file, you missed the "cited reference" field. You can obtain that by choosing the option "full record and cited reference" see print screen in the tutorial: https://github.com/MaximeRivest/scimeetr#how-to-get-bibliometric-data.

In the Scopus file, you missed the "abbreviated source title" which you have to check under the bibliographical information column when you export from scopus. You can also see that on the print screen (https://github.com/MaximeRivest/scimeetr#how-to-get-bibliometric-data)

Let me know if you encounter other issues.

Thank you for trying scimeetr out!
