Article Abstract
Lower limb ischemia in diabetic patients results in poor collateral circulation and a high risk of amputation. Skeletal muscle cells release exosomes that are believed to regulate angiogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the effects of exosomes derived from skeletal muscle cells on angiogenesis. Exosomes derived from human skeletal muscle cells (HSMCs) were isolated and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and Western blotting. The effects of these exosomes on endothelial cells were evaluated through proliferation, migration, and tube formation assays. Differential expression of miRNAs between hypoxic and normoxic exosomes was identified through sequencing, with a focus on novel_196 and its role in regulating angiogenesis. Hypoxic skeletal muscle cells-derived exosomes significantly enhanced endothelial cell proliferation, migration, migration, and tube formation while reducing apoptosis. Sequencing analysis revealed 11 differentially expressed microRNAs, with novel_196 being notably downregulated under hypoxic conditions. The overexpression of novel_196 inhibited angiogenesis by targeting the FGF2 and p-AKT pathways. The findings indicate that targeting novel_196 under hypoxic conditions may enhance angiogenesis, improve collateral circulation, and reduce the likelihood of amputation in individuals with diabetic ischemic foot.

Maintenance of organismal function requires tightly regulated biomolecular communication. However, with aging, communication deteriorates, thereby disrupting effective information flow. Using information theory applied to skeletal muscle single cell RNA-seq data from young, middle-aged, and aged animals, we quantified the loss of communication efficiency over time.

Objectives: To explore the relationships between cardiac parameters and body composition indices, identifying predictors of subclinical cardiac systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Using anthropometric and serological parameters, echocardiography, and body composition analysis, this study evaluated metabolic profiles, cardiac remodeling patterns, and body composition characteristics in young adult obese patients, while quantifying the correlations between cardiac parameters and body composition indices. Subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction was defined as global longitudinal strain (GLS) < 18%.

Purpose: To objectively quantify, in East Asians and Caucasians, the width and distribution of the retro-orbicularis oculi and frontalis fat (ROOF) pad, subcutaneous fat, and orbicularis oculi muscle (OOM) at the superior orbital rim margin as well as 5 mm superior and inferior to this point.
Methods: Thirty adults were studied by high-resolution, surface coil MRI. In the quasi-sagittal image through the globe center, the ROOF, subcutaneous fat, and OOM thickness were measured anterior to the orbital septum, at 3 points: at the superior orbital rim, and 5 mm superior, and 5 mm inferior to the rim.

Background: Liver cirrhosis, characterized by chronic inflammation, is frequently complicated by malnutrition. Nutritional indices, such as the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and the skeletal muscle index (SMI), calculated as the muscle area quantified via CT scans at the third lumbar vertebra level divided by the square of the patient's height in meters (cm/m), are associated with outcomes in inflammatory diseases.
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the PNI both independently and in combination with the SMI for identifying malnutrition in cirrhosis and to explore their prognostic implications.

Neutral Lipid Storage Disease with Myopathy (NLSDM) is a rare lipid metabolism disorder caused by impaired Adipose Triglyceride Lipase (ATGL) activity, leading to neutral lipid accumulation in various tissues. It typically manifests with progressive skeletal myopathy, with an onset of around 35 years. In addition, some patients develop cardiomyopathy and liver dysfunction.
