The role of synbiotics in improving inflammatory status in nasopharyngeal car…

Abstract: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor that grows from the epithelial cells of nasopharynx. NPC has the ability to modify its metabolism and leads the patient to suffer from malnutrition and cachexia, therefore aggravates the occurrence of impaired inflammatory response. Currently, available treatments for NPC are chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or chemoradiotherapy. De…

The Role of Gut Dysbiosis in Malnutrition Mechanism in CKD-5 HD Patients

Patients with terminal stage chronic kidney disease who have undergone hemodialysis (PGK-5 HD) have a high risk of developing malnutrition, which is characterized by wasting protein-energy and micronutrient deficiencies. Studies show a high prevalence of malnutrition in CKD-5 HD patients. The pathogenic mechanisms of malnutrition in CKD-5 HD are complex and involve the interaction of several pa…

Profile of Cachexia Parameters and Dietary Intakes in Advanced Stage of Nasop…

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients have high risk of cachexia. It is important to notice cachexia parameters in the beginning of their treatment in order to predict and anticipate unexpected outcomes. This study aimed to describe the profile of advanced stage NPC patient receiving first chemotherapy, especially in cachexia parameters and dietary intakes. Methods: A cross-sectio…

The Effects of Cholecalciferol 1000 IU Supplementation on Handgrip Strength i…

Backgrounds: Vitamin D regulates muscle function by binding to vitamin D receptors (VDR) via genomic signaling pathways. The biologically active form of vitamin D (1,25- (OH)D) affects muscles by modulation of gene transcription and protein kinase signaling pathways that support proliferation and muscle growth. Aging will result in the interaction of vitamin D and VDR, affecting the regulat…
