Nutrient and metabolite characteristics of the husk, bran and millet isolated from the foxtail millet ( L.) during polishing.

The utilization of byproducts from foxtail millet polishing can reduce food loss and waste. Thus, it is necessary to know the chemical compounds from the millet and the segregation of the layers. The nutrients including minerals were compared among the husk, bran, and millet, and a LC-MS metabolomics analysis was also performed among them.

Exploring the optimal indicator of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics to predict cancer survival: A multicentre cohort study.

Background: Body weight and its changes have been associated with cancer outcomes. However, the associations of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics in standardized, clinically operational time frames with cancer survival remain largely unknown. This study aimed to screen for and evaluate the optimal indicator of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with cancer.

Value of the modified Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment in indicating the need for nutrition intervention and predicting overall survival in patients with malignant tumors in at least two organs.

Background: Although the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a reference standard used to assess a patient's nutrition status, it is cumbersome to administer. The aim of the present study was to estimate the value of a simpler and easier-to-use modified PG-SGA (mPG-SGA) to evaluate the nutrition status and need for intervention in patients with malignant tumors present in at least two organs.

Methods: A total of 591 patients (343 male and 248 female) were included from the INSCOC study.

Methods And Study Design: We examined these associations among 548 participants from nine community health centers and three hospitals in the North China cohort. A pregnant women's healthy lifestyle score (HLS) was constructed based on six lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, sedentary behavior, diet, and gestational weight gain.

Effects of 3021 meal replacement powder protect NAFLD via suppressing the ERS, oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

Objective: To explore the specific protective mechanism of 3021 meal replacement powder (MRP) against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Materials And Methods: C57BL/6J male mice were divided into four groups: control group, 3021 MRP group, model group and test group. The lipid accumulation and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related proteins in hepatocytes of mice were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, oil red O staining and Western blotting.

High LYRM4-AS1 predicts poor prognosis in patients with glioma and correlates with immune infiltration.

Background: Many researches proved that non-coding RNAs are important in glioma development. We screened the differentially expressed genes through The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and identified the molecule LYRM4-AS1 associated with prognosis. As a lncRNA, the expression level and role of LYRM4-AS1 in glioma are inconclusive.

Corn peptides attenuate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial autophagy.

Background: Corn peptides, a novel food prepared from corn gluten meal (CGM) by enzymatic hydrolysis or microbial fermentation, have attracted considerable interest owing to their various bioactive properties. However, the underlying mechanism of corn peptides attenuate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of corn peptides in NAFLD and to decipher the underlying mechanisms.

Sarcopenia prevalence in patients with cancer and association with adverse prognosis: A nationwide survey on common cancers.

Objective: Although previous studies have implicated the negative outcomes of sarcopenia, evidence is limited to one or a few types of cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution and influencing factors of sarcopenia, and explore the relationship between sarcopenia and cancer prognosis in a large oncological population.

Methods: This observational cohort study included patients diagnosed with malignant cancer between May 2011 and January 2019.

Comparison of the performance of the GLIM criteria, PG-SGA and mPG-SGA in diagnosing malnutrition and predicting survival among lung cancer patients: A multicenter study.

Background & Aims: The present study aimed to compare the ability of the GLIM criteria, PG-SGA and mPG-SGA to diagnose malnutrition and predict survival among Chinese lung cancer (LC) patients.

Nutritional support for perioperative patients in China: progress with ERAS.

The prevalence of malnutrition in surgical patients is high, particularly in elderly, oncologic, critically ill and morbidly obese patients. In recent years, as the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has gained in popularity, the concept and strategy of nutritional care for surgical patients has also evolved. The concept of nutritional management is relatively new in surgical patient management, which promotes integrating the "nutritional screening-assessment-diagnosis-treatment" (NSADT) scheme into the preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and post-discharge processes of disease treatment and rehabilitation.
