Objective: To explore the influence of caloric restriction combined with psychotherapy and chemotherapy associated by hybaroxia on the prognosis of patients with intracranial glioblastoma multiforme.
Methods: This was a perspective, nonrandom, no-double-blinded controlled study. All patients underwent total resection during November 2007 to April 2009 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Tiantan Puhua Hospital. All diagnoses were confirmed by molecule pathology. While 23 patients in control group underwent resections and radiochemotherapy, 11 patients in experimental group were further treated by caloric restriction plus psychotherapy and chemotherapy-associated hybaroxia. The life spans were compared between two groups.
Results: The mean survival time of patients in experimental group was (38 ± 13) months versus (20 ± 12) months in control group. The survival time of patients in experimental group was significantly longer than that in control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Caloric restriction plus psychotherapy and chemotherapy-associated hybaroxia can apparently prolong the life span of patients with glioblastoma multiforme.

Background/objectives: Previously, we found that caloric restriction (CR) in mice increases taurine levels by stimulating hepatic synthesis, secretion into the intestine and deconjugation of taurine-conjugated bile acids (BA). Subsequently, in the intestine, taurine conjugates various molecules, including glutathione (GSH). The current study explores the mechanisms behind forming taurine-GSH conjugate and its consequences for taurine, other taurine conjugates, and BA in order to improve understanding of their role in CR.

Despite adverse metabolic and functional consequences of obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m), clinical recommendations for weight loss (WL) in older adults (65+ years) with obesity remain controversial. Reluctance stems partly from epidemiologic data demonstrating musculoskeletal tissue loss with WL and increased risk of disability and osteoporotic fracture. Randomized controlled trials in older adults complement and extend knowledge in this area showing: (1) lifestyle-based WL interventions often yield clinically meaningful (~8%-10%) WL in older adults; (2) lean mass loss is significant, although fat mass loss is preferential and physical performance is often improved, particularly when combined with aerobic and resistance training (RT); (3) bone loss is also significant, with some evidence that RT can attenuate WL-associated bone loss; and (4) fat mass regain after intervention cessation is common, yet physical performance gains appear to be maintained.

Bronchial smooth muscle plays a critical role by narrowing airways, leading to obstruction and breathing difficulties, often exacerbated by mast cell infiltration and histamine release. Whereas current treatments, including bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and biologics provide effective management for most patients, alternative therapies are needed for difficult-to-treat asthma.

Following an extensive literature review, the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) has developed an official position on nutritional and weight cut strategies for combat sports. The type of combat sport, length of the fight camp, and time between weigh-in and competition are factors influencing nutritional and weight cut strategies. The following 16 points constitute the Position Statement of the Society; the Research Committee has approved them.

Background: Mounting evidence supports the health benefits of intermittent fasting (IF) in general. This study evaluates its impact on patients with gynecological or breast cancer specifically.
Methods: A thorough search for studies comparing IF with either nonintervention diets or calorie restriction (CR) in patients with either gynecological or breast cancer and published prior to October 5, 2024 was carried out on the PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases (CBM).
