Article Abstract

Renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (RCAD) is a rare disease caused by abnormalities in the HNF1B gene, which often leads to dysfunction in the renal, genital tracts, and pancreas. In this report, we present a rare case of a 27-year-old female with muscle mass loss who experienced a delayed diagnosis of RCAD. The patient had been misdiagnosed as "type 1 diabetes" for a long period. Her main clinical manifestations included muscle loss, renal magnesium loss, and an incomplete longitudinal uterus. Ultimately, the diagnosis of RCAD syndrome was confirmed through genetic testing. Reduction of muscle mass, although rarely reported, can progress to sarcopenia. Therefore, early intervention should be strongly emphasized. Furthermore, in future research, it is crucial to explore the mechanisms and relationships underlying these patients and their unusual manifestations.

Background: This study explores how relative skeletal muscle mass is associated with the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and the remission of baseline MASLD in a community-based population cohort.

Methods: The study included 1,544 participants with an average age of 58 years. All participants underwent baseline and follow-up assessments in 2015 or 2016.

Background: Tetrandrine (TET) demonstrates therapeutic potential for hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH); however, its precise pharmacological mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of TET on pulmonary vascular remodeling (PVR) in HPH and elucidate the molecular pathways through which TET ameliorates HPH.

Methods: We established a rat model of HPH and evaluated the therapeutic effects of TET by measuring hemodynamic parameters, assessing right ventricular hypertrophy, and analyzing pathological changes in lung tissue.

Shitou goose (STE) and Wuzong goose (WZE) are both characteristic goose breeds in Guangdong, China. Their growth cycle is similar, but there are huge differences in body size. One of the reasons for the difference in body size is the individual muscle mass, which is determined by myofiber development.

Integrative physiology of skeletal muscle for maintaining cognitive health.

Cognitive decline and physical impairment are often linked with ageing, contributing to declines in health span and loss of independence in older adults. Pathological cognitive decline with age is largely considered to be a brain-centric challenge. However, recent findings have begun to challenge this paradigm as the health of peripheral systems, namely skeletal muscle, predict cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Department of Geriatric Medicine, Klinikum Fürth, Fürth, Germany; Institute for Biomedicine of Ageing, Friedrich-Alexander-University, Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.

Purpose: Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity are defined by the loss of muscle strength and mass. Both diseases pose a growing global challenge. Their prevalences vary between studied populations.
