- |||||||||| Insulin resistance and sarcopenia as comorbid conditions in patients with MASLD (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_1649;
This should be considered for patient selection. The mechanisms of pathogenesis of sarcopenia and MASLD are common: insulin resistance, increased inflammation, secretion of myokines by skeletal muscles, myostatin, and decrease in adiponectin level.
- |||||||||| Validation of an easy-to-use malnutrition screening in cirrhosis to predict outcome (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_1461;
Neither other malnutrition scores such as RFH, NRS and MNA, nor markers of sarcopenia were predictive in the multivariate prediction model for mortality in this patient cohort. GMS can be implemented easily into an electronic patient record system and therefore can provide an added value for cirrhotic patient care to identify patients with malnutrition and high risk of death, who may benefit from intensive nutritional therapy.
- |||||||||| Screening and assessing Sarcopenia in liver cirrhosis: feasibility and implications for clinical outcomes (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_1455;
The current EWGSOP2 algorithm for diagnosing sarcopenia has limited applicability in patients, as screening by SARC-F identifies only a minority of patients with high risk for sarcopenia characterized by reduced muscle strength and/or low phase angle by BIA - both associated with malnutrition and adverse outcome in this patient group. A valid screening instrument for sarcopenia in patients with liver cirrhosis is needed and should be addressed in further studies
- |||||||||| Effect of adipose-related parameters on survival in patients with cirrhosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_1421;
These findings suggest that preventing muscle loss and/or promoting increases in muscle mass could be potential targets for strategies aimed at preventing readmissions. Different adipose parameters exhibited varying prognostic value: decreased SATI or MR, increased VSR, and concurrent myosteatosis or SO were independently associated with a higher risk of mortality in patients with cirrhosis.
- |||||||||| Nitrogen recycling by the gut microbiome in sarcopenia (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_516;
This gives first indications for the potential role of the gut microbiome and its nitrogen recycling potential in sarcopenia. More pronounced differences in women and patients with cirrhosis, two groups who are disproportionally affected by sarcopenia, point towards a potential precision medicine target.
- |||||||||| Exercise alters immune cell senescence and inflammation in cirrhosis patients with sarcopenia (Poster Area) - Apr 2, 2024 - Abstract #EASLILC2024EASL_ILC_462;
Our results clearly document the positive immunological and molecular alterations associated with exercise in sarcopenic cirrhosis patients. Single supervised exercise program, improve immune senescence, and reduce inflammation and can be of great help in patients with advanced cirrhosis and high MELD.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Perioperative Considerations in Older Kidney and Liver Transplant Recipients: A Review. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
Postoperative concerns include controlling acute postoperative pain; preventing cardiovascular complications and delirium; optimizing immunosuppression; preventing perioperative kidney injury; and avoiding nephrotoxicity and rehabilitation. Future studies are needed throughout the perioperative period to identify interventions that will improve patients' preoperative physiologic status, prevent postoperative medical complications, and improve medical and patient-centered outcomes in this vulnerable patient population.
- |||||||||| Journal, Metabolomic study: Metabolomic response to acute resistance exercise in healthy older adults by 1H-NMR. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
P3 Future studies are needed throughout the perioperative period to identify interventions that will improve patients' preoperative physiologic status, prevent postoperative medical complications, and improve medical and patient-centered outcomes in this vulnerable patient population. This study demonstrates that while many exercise-responsive metabolites change similarly in young and older adults, several demonstrate age-dependent changes even in the absence of evidence of sarcopenia or frailty.
- |||||||||| Journal: Effect of a 12-Week Multi-Exercise Community Program on Muscle Strength and Lipid Profile in Elderly Women. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
Regular physical activity is very important for improving the health and QoL of elderly women, and as a result of applying a customized program, effects such as increased muscle index, improvement of sarcopenia, and improvement of blood lipid status were confirmed. Therefore, it is believed that the physical activity program developed through this study can be applied as a community program for elderly women.
- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Effect of HY7602 Fermented Deer Antler on Physical Fatigue and Antioxidant Activity in Mice. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
Notably, FA treatment significantly upregulated the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) and increased the mRNA expression of antioxidant genes (SOD1, SOD2, CAT, GPx1, GPx2, and GSR) in the liver. Conclusively, FA is a potentially useful functional food ingredient for improving fatigue through its antioxidant effects.
- |||||||||| Journal: Relationship between adiponectin and muscle mass in patients with metabolic syndrome and obesity. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
Twenty-seven factors were causally related to sarcopenia and aging traits, and the causal effects of IL16, CTACK, MIP1b and PDGFbb were proven in both analyses with two significance thresholds. Serum adiponectin levels are negatively associated with low skeletal muscle mass among obese subjects with metabolic syndrome who are older than 60
- |||||||||| Journal: Excessive linoleic acid induces muscle oxidative stress through 5-lipoxygenase-dependent peroxidation. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
Mechanistically, the activation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway facilitated the translocation of 5-LOX from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where 5-LOX oxidized LA, leading to oxidative stress through the generation of aldehydes. This study suggests that 5-LOX is a potential target to prevent the production of harmful aldehydes.
- |||||||||| Journal: Dual-energy CT applications in musculoskeletal disorders. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 1, 2024
Newer DECT applications to evaluate fat fraction for sarcopenia, Rho/Z application for soft tissue calcification differentiation, 3D rendering, and AI integration are being assessed for future use. In this article we will discuss the established and developing applications of DECT in the setting of MSK radiology as well as the basic principles of dual-energy CT which facilitate them.

- |||||||||| Journal: Exploring the Potential of Crassostrea nippona Hydrolysates as Dietary Supplements for Mitigating Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy in C2C12 Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 31, 2024
Western blot and gene expression analysis via RT-qPCR demonstrated that AOH downregulated MuRF-1, Atrogin, Smad 2/3, and Foxo-3a, while upregulating myogenin, MyoD, myosin heavy chain expression, and mTOR, key components of the ubiquitin-proteasome and mTOR signaling pathways. Finally, this study suggests that AOH holds promise for alleviating dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy in C2C12 cells in vitro, offering insights for developing functional foods targeting conditions akin to sarcopenia.
