Tissue nutrition is the continuous process which is established just after the conception and persists throughout the life. Ayurveda scholars have mentioned that the manner of tissue nutrition is not same in all phases of life. In prenatal life embryo gets nutrition by Upasneha (filtration) and Upasweda (percolation/secretion) and fetus by Garbhanabhinadi (umbilical cord) which is attached with the heart of mother via Rasavahanadi (blood vessels). Thus in intrauterine life the nutrition of embryo is histotrophic, whereas just after the formation of placenta nutrition becomes haemotrophic. In post-natal life nutrition is enteral means nutrients are taken in the form of food via mouth called Aahar. Ayurveda scholars have postulated theories to understand the mechanism of tissue nutrition are Ksheera Dadhi Nyaya (transformation of nutrients), Khale Kapota Nyaya (selective uptake of nutrients), KedariKulya Nyaya (transportation of nutrients via channels), Ek Kala Dhatu Poshan Nyaya (simultaneous supply of nutrients to whole body). The theories of tissue nutrition discussed in Ayurveda suggest that although tissues are nourished and replenished continuously at different rate as per the functional state of Agni by circulating nutrients obtained from Ahara, but tissues are also dependent on each other for their proper nourishment and metabolism. This concept has great implication in management of malnourishment and various other disorders. This manuscript is an attempt to explore the Ayurveda's view on tissue nutrition along with physiological and clinical significance of theories of tissue nutrition in a scientific manner.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with most patients diagnosed at advanced stages due to the absence of reliable early detection biomarkers.
Methods: RNA-sequencing was conducted to identify the differentially expressed genes between GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. CCK8, EdU, colony formation, transwell, flow cytometry and xenograft assays were adopted to explore the biological function of ZBTB10 and betulinic acid (BA) in GC progression.
Diagnostic value of 11C-Methionine PET-CT imaging in persistent or recurrent Cushing's disease after surgery.

Introduction: Equivocal or negative pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings raise a significant challenge in the management of persistent or recurrent Cushing's disease (CD), compromising the chances of success of a further transsphenoidal surgery (TSS). The aim of our study was to determine the diagnostic utility of 11C-methionine (MET) positron emission tomography coupled with computerized tomography (PET/CT) in localizing the residual or relapsing corticotroph adenoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the results of 11C-MET PET/CT performed in two tertiary medical centers between May 2002 and November 2023 in 22 patients with a persisting or recurrent CD after initial TSS and equivocal or negative pituitary MRI findings.
PrP Glycoprotein Is Indispensable for Maintenance of Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis During Aging.
J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle

Department of Bioactive Material Sciences, Research Center of Bioactive Materials, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju, Republic of Korea.
Background: The cellular prion protein (PrP), a glycoprotein encoded by the PRNP gene, is known to modulate muscle mass and exercise capacity. However, the role of PrP in the maintenance and regeneration of skeletal muscle during ageing remains unclear.
Methods: This study investigated the change in PrP expression during muscle formation using C2C12 cells and evaluated muscle function in Prnp wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice at different ages (1, 9 and 15 months).

Objective: The mortality risk for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) can be predicted through clinical assessments and laboratory test results. The accurate utilization of these parameters is essential for timely intervention and the initiation of appropriate therapeutic strategies. This study aims to retrospectively examine the relationship between patients' clinical status at ICU admission, prognostic risk scoring systems, biochemical and hematological parameters, and mortality outcomes.
