The Hosmer-Lemeshow test had a P value of .94. The predictive model in this study will be a clinically useful tool for predicting the risk of sarcopenia, and it will facilitate earlier detection and therapeutic intervention for sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is present in nearly half of the cirrhotic patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, which increases the risk of a single episode of hepatic encephalopathy by 3-fold and that of multiple episodes of hepatic encephalopathy by 8-fold after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure. Increased skeletal muscle index is associated with decreased risk of hepatic encephalopathy.

Improvement and maintenance of perioperative muscle mass are important to maintain good nutritional parameters. Leg PhA was independently associated with mean attenuated value of the mid-thigh skeletal muscle, suggesting that the assessment of PhA in combination with SMI could provide additional information for the evaluation of muscle properties.
- |||||||||| Genetic Medicine Using a PLV Approach Reduces Frailty and Improves Healthspan (Board No. 1008) - Apr 21, 2023 - Abstract #ASGCT2023ASGCT_1703;
Our data shows that senolytic FAST-PLVs improved healthspan and reduced frailty in naturally aged mice.We separately measured the effect on muscle growth by a FAST-PLV Follistatin therapy. Up to 9 months after one treatment, muscle weight and fiber size were significantly increased resulting in increased body weight and functional grip strength.In summary, our approaches represent a first-in-class therapeutic that targets cells based on transcriptional activity, rather than surface markers or metabolism, and represents a viable strategy for treating age-related diseases such as physical frailty and sarcopenia.

A variety of potential therapeutic drugs targeting these muscle-wasting mechanisms in CKD have been investigated, but most of the trials focused on aged patients without CKD, and none of these drugs have been approved for the treatment of sarcopenia so far. Further studies on the molecular mechanisms of sarcopenia in CKD and targets for potential therapeutics are needed to improve the outcomes of sarcopenic patients with CKD.

A pretherapeutic assessment before pemetrexed initiation should include three major checkpoints: use of proton pump inhibitors, sarcopenia, and denutrition evaluation.
