SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN BRONCHIECTASIS PATIENTS WITH SARCOPENIA: IMPLICATIONS FOR MUSCLE FUNCTION AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION STRATEGIES

Open Respiratory Archives
Introduction: Sarcopenia is common in chronic respiratory diseases. Several biological processes are involved in its onset. In the muscles of patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, the underlying mechanisms have not yet been described.

Regular exercise and branched‐chain amino acids prevent ischemic acute kidney injury‐related muscle wasting in mice

Physiological Reports, 2020
Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes glucose and protein metabolism abnormalities that result in muscle wasting, thereby affecting the long‐term prognosis of critical illness survivors. Here, we examined whether early intervention with treadmill exercise and

Muscle wasting assessment tools for prostate cancer

Scientific Reports, 2022
Prostate cancer and its treatment may induce muscle wasting. Body composition and muscle functionality are rarely assessed in patients with prostate cancer from developing countries due to the limited availability of high-quality equipment for routine ...

Association of muscle wasting with mortality risk among adults: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of prospective studies

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
The relationship between muscle wasting and mortality risk in the general population remains unclear. Our study was conducted to examine and quantify the associations between muscle wasting and all‐cause and cause‐specific mortality risks. PubMed, Web of

Phase Angle as an Early Functional Biomarker of Cancer‐Related Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low‐and middle‐income countries. Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer‐related fatigue (CRF).

Systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in bronchiectasis-associated sarcopenia

ERJ Open Research
Introduction Sarcopenia has recently been associated with bronchiectasis. We hypothesised that inflammation and oxidative stress are elevated in both systemic and muscle compartments in patients with bronchiectasis-associated sarcopenia, even in the ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Selective activation of the unfolded protein response and proteolytic pathways in sarcopenic limb muscles of bronchiectasis patients

ERJ Open Research
Introduction Sarcopenia contributes significantly to decreased exercise tolerance, reduced quality of life and worse overall prognosis, independent of lung function severity in chronic respiratory disease including bronchiectasis.
