AIM: To investigate the time course of testosterone(T) recovery after cessation of androgen deprivation therapy(ADT) in patients treated with brachytherapy. METHODS: One-hundred and seventy-four patients treated between June 1999 and February 2009 were studied. Patients were divided into a short-term usage group(≤ 12 mo, n = 91) and a long-term usage group(≥ 36 mo, n = 83) according to the duration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy. Median follow-up was 29 mo in the short-term group and was 60 mo in the long-term ***: Cumulative incidence rates of T recovery to normal and supracastrate levels at 24 mo after cessationwere 28.8% and 74.6%, respectively, in the long-term usage group, whereas these values were 96.4% and 98.8% in the short-term usage group. T recovery to normal and supracastrate levels occurred significantly more rapidly in the short-term than in the long-term usage group(P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Five years after cessation, 22.6% of patients maintained a castrate T level in the long-term usage group. On multivariate analysis, lower T levels(< 10 ng/d L) at cessation of ADT was significantly associated with prolonged T recovery to supracastrate levels in the longterm usage group(P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Lower T levels at cessation of ADT were associated with prolonged T recovery in the longterm usage group. Five years after cessation of longterm ADT, approximately one-fifth of patients still had castrate T levels. When determining the therapeutic effect, especially biochemical control, we should consider this delay in T recovery.

The neuromuscular junction(NMJ)is an essential synaptic structure composed of motor neurons,skeletal muscles,and glial cells that orchestrate the critical process of muscle contraction(Li et al.,2018).The typical NMJ structure is classically described as having a“pretzel-like”shape in mice(Figure 1),whereas human NMJs have a smaller,fragmented structure throughout *** NMJs exhibit smaller or fragmented endplates,partial denervation,reduced numbers of synaptic vesicles,abnormal presynaptic mitochondria,and dysfunctional perisynaptic Schwann cells(Alhindi et al.,2022).

We suggest a possible explanation of the influence of pre-seismic activity on the registration rate of natural ELF(extremely low frequency)/VLF(very low frequency) pulses and the changes of their characteristics. The main idea is as follows. The distribution of the electric field around a thundercloud depends on the conductivity profile of the atmosphere. Quasi-static electric fields of a thundercloud decrease in those tropospheric regions where an increase of air conductivity is generated by pre-seismic activities due to emanation of radioactive gas and water into the lower atmosphere. The electric field becomes reduced in the lower troposphere, and the probability decreases of the cloud-to-ground (CG) strokes in such “contaminated” areas. Simultaneously, the electric field grows inside and above the thunderclouds, and hence, we anticipate a growth in the number of horizontal and tilted inter-cloud (or intra-cloud) (both termed as IC discharges) strokes. Spatial orientation of lightning strokes reduces vertical projection of their individual amplitudes, while the rate (median number strokes per a unit time) of discharges grows. We demonstrate that channel tilt of strokes modifies the spectral content of ELF/VLF radio noise and changes the rate of detected pulses during the earthquake preparation phase.
