Muscle strength and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease/metabolic-associated fatty liver disease.

This editorial comments on an article published in a recent issue of World Journal of Gastroenterology, entitled "Association of low muscle strength with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease: A nationwide study". We focused on the association between muscle strength and the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), as well as the mechanisms underlying the correlation and related clinical applications. NAFLD, which is now redefined as MAFLD, is one of the most common chronic liver diseases globally with an increasing prevalence and is characterized by malnutrition, which may contribute to decreased muscle strength. Reduction of muscle strength reportedly has a pathogenesis similar to that of NAFLD/ MAFLD, including insulin resistance, inflammation, sedentary behavior, as well as insufficient vitamin D. Multiple studies have focused on the relationship between sarcopenia or muscle strength and NAFLD. However, studies investigating the relationship between muscle strength and MAFLD are limited. Owing to the shortage of specific medications for NAFLD/MAFLD treatment, early detection is essential. Furthermore, the relationship between muscle strength and NAFLD/MAFLD suggests that improvements in muscle strength may have an impact on disease prevention and may provide novel insights into treatments including dietary therapy, as well as tailored physical activity.

Theoretical calculation of spectroscopy properties of selenium bromide cation.

In this paper, the potential energy curves of 22 Λ-S states as well as 51 Ω states were calculated using the internally contracted multiconfiguration interaction and Davidson correction method. Through the obtained transition data, the spectroscopy data of the low excitation bound state are fitted and compared with the same main group ions. The phenomenon of avoided crossing that occurs in the Ω state is analyzed, and finally it is concluded that this phenomenon mainly occurs in the energy region between 20 000 cm-1 and 40 000 cm-1. The potential laser cooling transition cycle in the Ω state is analyzed. The Franck-Condon factor, radiative lifetime and Einstein coefficient between are calculated. In this paper, we argue that direct laser cooling of SeBr+ is not feasible. The content of our study provides a theoretical basis for subsequent calculations to explore the properties of SeBr+ spectrum.
