Beyond Body Mass Index: The Impact of Height and Height-Normalised Weight on Overall Survival of Lung Cancer Undergoing Surgery.

Unlike most malignancies, increased adiposity, as expressed by a higher body mass index (BMI), is associated with improved prognosis after lung cancer surgery at the population level. Height, one of the determinants of BMI, is associated with better survival, independent...

Ferulic Acid Attenuates Sarcopenia Progression by Inhibiting Peroxisomal ACOX1.

Sarcopenia, an age-related syndrome characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, is closely associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and protein metabolism imbalance. Ferulic acid (FA), a natural antioxidant, may improve sarcopenia, but its mechanism remains unclear....

Biological Ageing Acceleration and Functional Capacities Across the Lifespan in the INSPIRE-T Cohort.

Biological clocks are promising tools for the evaluation of biological age deviations (i.e., positive/negative acceleration). Here, we explored the associations of biological age acceleration (BAA) assessed by Horvath's, Hannum's, PhenoAge, and GrimAge epigenetic clocks, as well as the iAge inflammation-based...

High-Density Lipoprotein-Associated Cholesterol Abnormalities in a Clinical Outcomes Study of Dysferlin-Deficient Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type R2.

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (MD) type R2 (LGMDR2, formerly LGMD2B) is an autosomal recessive form of MD caused by variants in the dysferlin gene, DYSF. It leads to slow proximal and distal muscle weakening that generally results in loss of ambulation...

Exploring the role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the associations between sarcopenia and falls in older adults.

The present study investigated the moderating effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on the association between sarcopenia and falls in older adults. This prospective cohort study was conducted among octogenarians residing in the mountainous Sirente geographic area of Central Italy....

Adipose-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Intercellular Crosstalk With Skeletal Muscle: Implications for Sarcopenic Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation.

Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the concurrent presence of excess adiposity and diminished skeletal muscle mass and function, is closely linked to frailty, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The increasing prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is driven by the global aging population,...

Type II fibre atrophy and nuclear disruption in decompensated cirrhosis.

Loss of skeletal muscle mass is a common complication in cirrhosis that is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Since the specific pathophysiology of cirrhosis-related muscle loss is unclear, we performed histological evaluation of muscle tissue from patients with cirrhosis...

Therapeutic silicate biomaterials for sarcopenia treatment by inhibiting inflammation and enhancing muscle regeneration through regulation of Sarcolipin/SIRT signaling pathway.

Based on the observation of silicon content decrease in the muscles and serum with aging, this study proposes a silicate bioactive material based therapy for treating sarcopenia. Two therapeutic strategies were designed. One utilizes calcium silicate (CS) hydrogel for localized...

Corn-derived peptide LQQQLL alleviates skeletal muscle attenuation by mTOR signaling pathway and intestinal microbiota.

A novel peptide attenuating skeletal muscle atrophy was prepared, identified, screened from corn and its molecular mechanism was explored using two-step enzymatic hydrolysis, molecular docking, and sarcopenia mice model. The results showed that the DPPH free radical scavenging rate of...

Promoting mitochondrial fusion is protective against cancer-induced muscle detriments in males and females.

Skeletal muscle atrophy during cancer-induced cachexia remains a significant challenge in cancer management. Mitochondrial defects precede muscle mass and functional losses in models of cancer cachexia (CC). We hypothesized targeting Opa1-a key regulator of mitochondrial fusion-can attenuate LLC-induced CC outcomes....

Vagal blockade of the brain-liver axis deters cancer-associated cachexia.

Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a multifactorial and currently incurable syndrome responsible for nearly one-third of cancer-related deaths. It contributes to therapy resistance and increases mortality among affected patients. In this study, we show that cancer-induced systemic inflammation alters vagal tone...

Exploration of Fully-Automated Body Composition Analysis Using Routine CT-Staging of Lung Cancer Patients for Survival Prognosis.

AI-driven automated body composition analysis (BCA) may provide quantitative prognostic biomarkers derived from routine staging CTs. This two-centre study evaluates the prognostic value of these volumetric markers for overall survival in lung cancer patients. Lung cancer cohorts from Hospital A...
