Article Abstract

Screening of nutritional status of cancer patients plays a crucial role in the perioperative management and is mandatory for the certification of oncological centers by the German Cancer Society (DKG). The available screening tools do not differentiate between muscle and adipose tissue. Recent advances in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as the automatic picture archiving communication system (PACS) imaging analysis by high performance reconstruction systems have recently enabled a detailed analysis of adipose tissue and muscle quality. Rapidly growing evidence shows that body composition parameters, especially reduced muscle mass, are associated with adverse outcomes in cancer patients and have been reported to negatively affect overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), toxicity associated with chemotherapy and surgical complications. In this article, we summarize the recent literature and present the clinical influence of body composition in oncological visceral diseases.

The behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released from tire road wear particles (TRWPs) in human digestive fluids may pose a significant risk to human health. However, the current understanding of the release pattern and influencing factors of PAHs from TRWPs is still insufficient. In this study, the release characteristics of PAHs from UV-aging TRWPs (ATRWPs) were systematically investigated by in vitro digestive simulation experiments, release kinetic model fitting and control variable experiments.

Background: Astaxanthin Z-isomers have attracted much attention because recent studies have demonstrated that they exhibit greater bioavailability and biological activity than the naturally predominant all-E-isomer. However, the plasma appearance and tissue distribution of astaxanthin isomers when administered with a diet rich in astaxanthin Z-isomers are largely unknown. To understand the health benefits and safety of astaxanthin Z-isomers, it is important to study the in vivo kinetics of the isomers.

Background: Breast milk represents the optimal feeding strategy for newborns, supporting not only nutrition but also the establishment of a unique microbiota. The bacterial composition and diversity of this microbiota are shaped by various maternal and infant-related factors.

Objectives: This single-center prospective study aimed to examine the breast milk microbiota and determine the maternal and infant-related factors influencing its composition and diversity over the time.
