Current Trend and Outcomes on Immunonutrition in Medical and Surgical Fields: An Updated Perspective.
Malays J Med Sci
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia.
Immunonutrition, which involves the targeted use of specific nutrients to enhance immune function and mitigate inflammation, has recently become a mainstay for both medical and surgical benefits. This review explores the evolution, mechanisms, and clinical applications of immunonutrition, with a focus on essential nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, glutamine, arginine, and vitamins. These immunonutrients modulate immune responses, reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines, and support tissue repair.

Beetles that feed on the nutritionally depauperate and recalcitrant tissues provided by the leaves, stems, and roots of living plants comprise one-quarter of herbivorous insect species. Among the key adaptations for herbivory are plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) that break down the fastidious polymers in the cell wall and grant access to the nutritious cell content. While largely absent from the non-herbivorous ancestors of beetles, such PCWDEs were occasionally acquired via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or by the uptake of digestive symbionts.

School of Economy and Management, Shandong Agricultural University, Taian, 271018, PR China. Electronic address:
Agricultural products are essential for nutrition and food security, particularly in China where agricultural production capacity is growing steadily. Despite the benefits of Ecological Agricultural (EA) products, including environmental protection and enhanced consumer utility, their widespread adoption and maximization of value are impeded by various factors. This study explores the intricate tripartite relationship - government, agribusiness, and consumer, in the value realization of EA products in China by establishing an evolutionary game model.

J Gastric Cancer
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Cancer Institute Hospital Ariake, Tokyo, Japan.
Proximal gastrectomy (PG) has reemerged as a viable surgical option for managing proximal gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction cancer, particularly for early-stage tumors, offering potential advantages over total gastrectomy (TG). This review examines the evolution of PG, emphasizing surgical techniques and outcomes. Although PG was initially abandoned due to postoperative complications such as reflux esophagitis, advances in reconstruction methods, such as the double-flap technique and double-tract reconstruction, have significantly improved patient quality of life and reduced complications.

Department of Genetic Biochemistry, The National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ζ (REV3), involved in translesion-replication is evolutionarily conserved from yeast and plants to higher eukaryotes. However, a large intermediate domain is inserted in REV3 of humans and mice. The domain has "DUF4683" region, which is significantly similar to human neurite extension and migration factor (NEXMIF).
