Impact of Low Skeletal Muscle Mass on Complications and Survival for Gastric Cancer: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis by Zhen Fang, Zhen Fang, Liang Shang, Leping Li

“…Increasing evidence has indicated that low skeletal muscle mass is linked with cancer prognosis. The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of preoperative low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) on complications and survival of patients who undergo laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC).MethodsThis study retrospectively collected patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy for GC between January 2017 and December 2018. …”

Cut-off Values for Lower Limb Muscle Thickness to Detect Low Muscle Mass for Sarcopenia in Older Adults by Fukumoto Y, Ikezoe T, Taniguchi M, Yamada Y, Sawano S, Minani S, Asai T, Kimura M, Ichihashi N

“…The SD-based value for the rectus femoris (1.85 cm) was substantially higher than the low SMI-predicting value (1.51 cm) in males.Conclusion: Ultrasound measurement of lower leg muscles may be a simple, robust measure to detect low muscle mass for sarcopenia. Additionally, cut-off values for site-specific muscle mass loss may not always agree with those for whole-limb muscle mass loss.Keywords: area under the curve, bioelectric impedance, skeletal muscle, ultrasound…”

Time-Course of Muscle Mass Loss, Damage, and Proteolysis in Gastrocnemius following Unloading and Reloading: Implications in Chronic Diseases. by Alba Chacon-Cabrera, Helena Lund-Palau, Joaquim Gea, Esther Barreiro

“…Gastrocnemius reloading following splint removal improved muscle mass loss, strength, fiber atrophy, injury, myosin content, and mtDNA/nDNA, while reducing ubiquitin-proteasome activity and proteolysis.A consistent program of molecular and cellular events leading to reduced gastrocnemius muscle mass and mitochondrial content and reduced strength, enhanced proteolysis, and injury, was seen in this non-invasive mouse model of disuse muscle atrophy. …”

Role of Muscle Mass and Nutritional Assessment Tools in Evaluating the Nutritional Status of Patients With Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma by Xi Pan, Hong Liu, Guo Feng, Jie Xiao, Meng Wang, Hua Liu, Xueyi Xie, Zhipeng Rong, Jinru Wu, Min Liu

“…Their nutritional status was assessed by albumin (ALB), body mass index (BMI), Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002), Patient generated-Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), and muscle mass. Consistency test and McNemar test were used to evaluate the consistency of muscle mass with ALB, BMI, NRS 2002, and PG-SGA, and correlation analysis was performed on muscle mass and PG-SGA or BMI.Results: 61/130 (46.9%) of the patients had nutritional risks according to NRS 2002, 68/130 (53.1%) of the patients had malnutrition according to PG-SGA assessment. …”
