Article Abstract
Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the associations between body composition, energy expenditure and caloric intake among 45 Nigerian breast cancer patients.
Methods: Forty-five Nigerian breast cancer patients were measured and analysed for their body composition, energy expenditure and caloric intake. Statistical analyses included a chi-square test, Student's -test, paired -test, Spearman correlation and linear regression using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 23.0.
Results: The body fat indices (body mass index (BMI), fat mass index (FMI), and body fats percentage) show that more than 50% of breast cancer patients were either overweight or obese. The Spearman correlation showed that fat-free mass (FFM) was the most strongly correlated with energy expenditure ( = 0.84). BMI and (FMI - fat mass in relation to height) were significantly correlated with the Harris-Benedict equation for energy expenditure ( < 0.001; = 0.002), but they were not correlated significantly with the Karnofsky performance status. A paired -test showed that caloric intake was significantly higher than total energy expenditure ( < 0.001). FFM was the best predictor of resting energy expenditure (REE).
Conclusion: In conclusion, FFM remains the best predictor of REE. High body mass and high caloric intake indicate the need for support from nutritional programmes.

Background And Objective: Dental implant therapy faces challenges in patients with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM and T2DM) due to adverse effects on bone metabolism and immune response. Despite advancements, diabetic patients face higher risks of peri-implantitis and compromised osseointegration. This review assesses the impact of anti-diabetic medications on implant outcomes, offering insights to bridge the gap between animal studies and clinical practice.

Lipids are indispensable components of living organisms and play pivotal roles in cell-membrane fluidity, energy provision, and neurotransmitter transmission and transport. Lipids can act as potential biomarkers of diseases given their abilities to indicate cell-growth status. For example, the lipid-metabolism processes of cancer cells are distinct from those of normal cells owing to their rapid proliferation and adaptation to ever-changing biological environments.

This work aims to explore the effect of glycolysis on the replication of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs). The changes of glucose metabolism, PRRSV protein levels, PRRSV titers, and the relative expression levels of genes and proteins in PAMs were analyzed by ELISA, qPCR, virus titration, and Western blotting after PRRSV infection. The effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) on PRRSV replication was subsequently assessed by specific siRNAs targeting to HIF-1α.

Arsenic (As) is a common toxic pollution element. The microorganism-mediated transformation of arsenic forms is an important part in the biogeochemical cycle of As. In the various microbial metabolic processes involving As, the coupling reduction of As has a great impact on the environment and is a process that is easily overlooked.
