Article Abstract
Purposes: This meta-analysis aims to (1) examine how resistance training affects lymphedema and muscle strength; and (2) evaluate the extent of improvement in lymphedema with different exercise dosages in breast cancer patients.
Methods: Eight English and Chinese electronic databases were searched from their inception up to April 7, 2024. A dose-response meta-analysis was performed with R software. Egger's regression analysis and funnel plots were utilized to assess the potential for publication bias.
Results: Thirty studies were synthesized in the systematic review. Resistance training was found to reduce lymphedema (SMD = - 0.28; 95% CI = - 0.44 to - 0.15) and significantly enhance upper and lower limb muscle strength. High-intensity training [5 ~ 8 repetition maximum (RM)] with a frequency of four times per week and a duration of 120~180 min per week showed a larger effect on lymphedema compared to moderate- to low-intensity training (8 ~ 20 RM) with three or fewer sessions per week and a duration of up to 120 min. Additionally, exercise programs lasting 12 weeks were more effective than those lasting less than 12 weeks.
Conclusions: High-intensity resistance training is more effective than low-intensity training in reducing lymphedema and enhancing muscle strength. Breast cancer patients with lower tolerance to exercise intensity can achieve maximal benefits in improving lymphedema by appropriately increasing the frequency and duration of exercise. Additionally, patients are encouraged to exercise for at least 12 weeks to ensure the effects.

Effects of exercise on fatigue and quality of life in multiple sclerosis: a network meta-analysis and systematic review.
J Neurol
September 2025
College of Physical Education, China West Normal University, Nanchong, China.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of various physical therapy interventions on fatigue and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases through April 1, 2025. Eligible RCTs compared different exercise interventions in MS patients, focusing on fatigue and quality of life outcomes.
Optimal type and dose of exercise to improve glycated haemoglobin in individuals with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review and Bayesian dose-response network meta-analysis of RCTs.
Diabetes Obes Metab

Graduate School of Physical Education, Myongji University, Yongin, Republic of Korea.
Background: High levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are associated with high mortality and cardiovascular risk. Physical activity is an affordable intervention that is available to most people, but the type and amount of exercise to induce metabolic benefits in T1D are not known with certainty.
Objective: To determine the comparative effectiveness of diverse exercise modes and dosages to influence HbA1c in patients with T1D.
A Case Series of Young People Receiving Adjunctive Immunotherapy for Neuroimmune-Mediated Major Mood or Psychotic Syndromes.

Background: Neuroimmune processes are often implicated in young people with atypical neuropsychiatric disorders, yet treatment implications remain controversial. This case series details young people with primary psychiatric disorders who received adjunctive immunotherapy after thorough investigation and extensive conventional treatments.
Methods: We evaluated 45 individuals (93% female, ages 12-30 years) with atypical psychiatric presentations suggesting potential neuroimmune involvement.
A drug response prediction method for single-cell tumors combining attention networks and transfer learning.
Front Med (Lausanne)

College of Information Science and Technology, Hainan Normal University, Guilinyang Campus, Haikou, Hainan, China.
Introduction: Accurately predicting tumor cell line responses to therapeutic drugs is essential for personalized cancer treatment. Current methods using bulk cell data fail to fully capture tumor heterogeneity and the complex mechanisms underlying treatment responses.
Methods: This study introduces a novel method, ATSDP-NET (Attention-based Transfer Learning for Enhanced Single-cell Drug Response Prediction), which combines bulk and single-cell data.
The effects of French contrast training on lower limb athletic performance in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Front Physiol
August 2025
College of Physical Education and Health Science, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing, China.
Background: French Contrast Training (FCT) is a unique complex training (CT) method that has gained attention in sports science. Participant characteristics, training protocols, and control group types may influence the effects of FCT on lower limb athletic performance.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effects of FCT on jump, sprint, and maximal strength in healthy adults and to identify potential moderators of training effects.
