identity of the inflammation mediators participating in

cancer cachexia is emerging.35,36 In the brain, injection of

IL-1 elicits a rapid induction of muscle catabolism and

atrophy gene expression.36 Inflammation in muscle might

induce expression of molecules involved in leukocyte

trafficking, such as P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, as

an early event in the catabolic response.36 Indeed, patients

with cancer who have a single nucleotide polymorphism

associated with a low expression of the gene that codes for

P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (SELPLG) have a reduced

likelihood of developing cancer cachexia than those with

the more-common genotype.37 The physiology of differ-

ent organs and tissues are carefully integrated, and, in

the past year, evidence from a murine knockout model

has suggested that fat–muscle crosstalk might be a criti-

cal regulator in the development of cachexia.38 A goal

of anorexia–cachexia therapy is to interfere with these

responses to inflammation: to restore positive energy

balance and to promote the gain of skeletal muscle mass.

Understanding the specific management of the initiating

inflammatory pathways is crucial to that end.

Catabolism

In patients with cancer, a number of factors increase the

catabolic response, leading to unsustainable levels of fat

and muscle mobilization and levels of muscle depletion

that cause significant morbidity and mortality. These

factors include tumour progression, comorbid condi-

tions, old age, physical deconditioning, nutritional defi-

ciency, drugs and medical interventions.6 Tumours alter

energy regulation by eliciting an excessive inflammatory

response, which will augment both central and peri-

pherally mediated catabolic events.32 There is also direct

macronutrient consumption by the tumour. In late-stage

disease, when the overall tumour mass reaches >0.75 kg,

the energy consumption of the tumour is quanti tatively

important. It has been estimated in metastatic colorectal

cancer that increases in visceral organ mass and tumour

mass represented a cumulative incremental resting

energy expenditure of ~17,700 kcal over a time period of

3 months, and as such might contribute substantially to

cachexia-associated weight loss.19

Owing to their age and overall health status, patients

with cancer are prone to physical deconditioning and to

nutritional deficits.6 Inactivity causes muscle wasting

per se, potentiates catabolic signals and desensitizes

muscle to anabolic signals; for example, 10 days of bed

rest in otherwise healthy adults over 65 years of age

results in a 6% loss of muscle in the lower limb, 30%

reduction in muscle protein synthesis and 16% loss of

isokinetic strength.39 Bed rest also increases the catabolic

response of skeletal muscle to low doses of cortisol by

threefold in humans.40 This finding might be an especi-

ally important problem because the muscle protein cata-

bolic response initiated in the brain by inflammation is

mediated by cortisol.36

The role of malnutrition in promoting and exacer-

bating cancer cachexia is not fully understood. One

theme in the clinical literature is the importance of treat-

able causes of reduced food intake. Some data suggest a

gross deficiency of essential nutrients in patients with

cancer; one good example is a deficiency of long chain

n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.41 Specific supplemen-

tation with these fatty acids limited catabolic losses of

skeletal muscle in patients with lung cancer undergoing

chemotherapy.42,43 Further work is required with respect

to other classes of essential nutrients that might be defici-

ent in patients with cancer, including—but not limited

to—vitamin D and choline.44,45

Several drugs used to treat patients with cancer add to

the risk of muscle wasting (Figure 5). The best-known

culprits are high-dose corticosteroids (which induce a

Cushing’s-like muscle wasting and insulin resistance).46

No treatment is generally provided to offset the cata-

bolic effects of corticosteroids, even though agents such

as oxandrolone have demonstrated clinical efficacy in

this regard.47,48 Cancer therapy is increasingly targeted

against molecular pathways that are responsible for

tumour cell proliferation, such as the PI3K, AKT, and

mTOR pathways that are associated with cancer initia-

tion and are also involved in activating muscle protein

anabolism.49–51 It would be reasonable to anticipate that

muscle wasting would be a significant toxicity of drugs

that target these pathways.

Outcomes of cachexia therapyUnfortunately, cachexia is rarely managed actively, in

part owing to a lack of knowledge about clinical nutri-

tion in the oncology field,52 but also because of a lack of

Figure 3 | Threshold definition for sarcopenia: a low level

of muscle, characterized by a statistically significant

increase in health risk. Muscularity (that is, muscle mass

adjusted for stature) has a sex-specific range in any given

population. When studied as a continuous variable, high

muscularity has the lowest risk of death, with progressively

increasing risk of death with decreasing muscularity.

A statistical test for a threshold value (that is, optimal

stratification) can be used to define a cut-off point for the

definition of sarcopenia. Health risks associated with

decreased muscularity include mortality, treatment toxicity,

infection and physical disability.

Figure 2: Mechanisms involved in low-grade inflammation induced by high fat diet

on epithelial intestinal barrier.

The role of commensal enteric bacteria in diet-induced adiposity and systemic

inflammation may be essential to induce intestinal inflammation and weight gain. Long-

term ingestion of HFD in mice or in obese mouse model (ob/ob) altered gut bacterial

composition, increasing the abundance of Firmicutes and Enterobacteriaceae (LPS-

bearing species) with a proportional reduction in Bacteroidetes phylum as well as an

overall lower bacterial diversity. Such increases of these species may be secondary to

compromised production of mucus or antimicrobial components or their survival of

intestinal Paneth cells in response to HFD, favoring thus bacterial survival and adherence

to the epithelium. Bacteria can cross the mucus layer and reach the epithelial barrier. HFD

were shown to promote colonic inflammation through induction of TLR4 on epithelial

cells and macrophages. This allows the production of several inflammatory cytokines

(TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, iNOS, COX-2 and myeloperoxidase activity, etc), which promptly

mediate vascular changes to promote immune cell recruitment against invading

pathogens, initiating the inflammatory state. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) can also increase

inflammation. A down-modulation of IL-10 producing Tregs cells in obesity decrease the

antioxidant enzymes leading to increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

HFD and obesity were also reported to downregulate anti-inflammatory gut peptide

secretion (e.g. ghrelin, GLP-1, PYY, CCK) by enteroendocrine cells and/or by signalling

further amplification of HFD-induced intestinal inflammation. In addition, with

downregulation of anti-inflammatory gut peptides associated with HFD or obesity, diet-

induced obesity can also enhance the secretion of pro-inflammatory serotonin (5-HT) by

enterochromaffin cells in the ileum. Collectively, these findings support the hypothesis

that, in response to HFD, the early activation of intestinal inflammation is a cornerstone

in the establishment of a low-grade systemic inflammation and ensuing metabolic

disorders.

Figure 3: HFD and transit of bacterial components to blood, adipose and skeletal

muscle cells leading to systemic low grade inflammation.

Obesity is associated with a low-grade systemic pro-inflammatory state that promotes the

development of metabolic disorders. In addition to expected changes in gut microbiota

(gastrointestinal tract: step 1) and adiposity, mice chronically-fed with HFD had higher

and constant circulating levels of LPS (about 2-3 fold the levels in LFD-fed mice) termed

“metabolic endotoxemia’’ as a low but chronic increase of systemic LPS. Association of

HFD-induced endotoxemia with systemic inflammation is reflected by increased

expression of TLRs in circulating macrophages cells, and plasma TNF-α and IL-1β

(blood: step 2). Greater systemic inflammation in individuals with metabolic diseases

may be a direct consequence of LPS-induced excessive inflammatory mediators and

peripheral tissue resident inflammatory cells through interaction with the TLR4. HFD via

endogeneous SFA may contribute to the activation of TLR2 or TLR4. Activated

inflammatory macrophages (M1) may reach adipose and muscular tissues (step 3). Under

normal circumstances, lean adipose tissue resident macrophages adopt a M2 phenotype

characterized by secretion of anti-inflammatory IL-10. In diet-induced obesity, the M1

pro-inflammatory phenotype predominates in adipose tissue and this switch may be

mediated, in part, by interaction of SFAs and LPS with macrophages. Adipocytes

themselves may also contribute to inflammation in secreting inflammatory cytokines in a

TLR-dependent manner in response to LPS and/or SFAs. Once initiated, this

inflammatory environment may recruit new inflammatory cells (neutrophils,

macrophages) thus amplifying inflammatory response in adipose tissue.

monitor changes in body composition over time in certain

groups of pediatric patients.

Both upper and lower body muscle wasting has been

reported in critically ill children,3 and some adult data suggest

that muscle wasting affects lower limbs more than upper

limbs.28 However, ultrasound studies measuring thickness of

the biceps, forearm, and quadriceps in critically ill adults have

only described changes in average or total muscle thickness

instead of thickness of individual muscles.29,30 The quadriceps

alone has also been used to monitor muscle changes in critically

ill adults. Measurements of the thickness of the rectus femoris,

vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis and cross-sectional area

(CSA) of the rectus femoris on alternate days demonstrate an

overall decreasing trend in the first 10 days of critical illness. 2,8

The quadriceps is the most commonly studied lower limb mus-

cle in children, of which the rectus femoris appears to be easier

to visualize than the vastus intermedius in severe muscle dis-

ease due to the attenuation of ultrasound waves reaching lower

muscle layers by overlying abnormal muscle. 10,15

Together, these data suggest that in critically ill children,

longitudinal measurements would be necessary to capture mus-

cle change throughout the ICU stay, possibly in more than 1

limb. Considering that critically ill children are usually sedated

and supine, ultrasound of the anterior compartment muscles

such as the quadriceps, biceps, and forearms is likely easier

than posterior compartment muscles such as the gastrocnemius

and triceps. However, if only a single limb measurement is pos-

sible, that of the quadriceps may be suitable.

Measurement Techniques

Several measurement techniques have been used in muscle

ultrasonography, although most emphasize consistent trans-

ducer settings and placement, body site, and subject position-

ing between patients and time period.16 Two-dimensional

B-mode ultrasound scans are usually conducted using a linear

transducer ranging from 5–12 MHz14,16,17 at a frequency of 25

Hz.17,31 Gain (ie, intensity or brightness) settings range from

70–86 dB,15,16 and depth is adjusted to visualize the bone

depending on the age of the patient.17

Quadriceps measurements are commonly taken at the mid-

point of the anterior superior iliac spine to the superior aspect of

the patella,15,16 although adult studies have used two-thirds the

distance from the anterior superior iliac spine.2,8 The latter

allows visualization of the entire muscle in adults and larger

children, which is necessary for measuring rectus femoris CSA.

For the other muscles, ultrasound measurements have been

taken at varying distances along the limb, and there appears to

be little standardization.19,20 In children with dynamic growth,

ultrasound landmarks using proportions of total limb length

instead of absolute distance may be more appropriate, so as to

account for varying changes in limb length.

Recommended patient positioning varies for different mus-

cle groups.32 The patient is usually positioned prone or supine

or, for some young children, sitting in their caregiver’s lap.24,33

The leg may be flat and relaxed16 or partially flexed,33 while

upper limbs are allowed to relax by the side of the body.32 The

transducer is placed perpendicular to the long axis of the mus-

cle to be measured, with the probe angled to optimize bone

echo.15 A generous amount of contact gel is used to minimize

compression of the subcutaneous tissue and muscle.23 Still

transverse images are taken (Figure 1), usually in triplicate,

and MLT or CSA is measured using electronic calipers.10,34

Patient cooperation is also necessary in children who are con-

scious; otherwise, MLT is likely to be inaccurately increased

with contraction in children who are not relaxed. 23

Time Course

The timing of measurement would depend on the sensitivity of

ultrasound in detecting changes in muscle size and echo-

genicity over time. Adult protocols specify measurements

every 1–3 days within the first 5–10 days of ICU admission to

be able to capture acute muscle changes within the initial

stages of critical illness,2,8,29,30 but whether this appropriately

captures muscle changes in children needs to be explored as

children may experience different metabolic responses from

adults.35–37 Standardization of these parameters would also

help with reproducibility and comparison across studies.

Reliability and Validity

Reliability

Ultrasound MLT and CSA of the lower limbs have been shown

to have good intraobserver reliability in healthy children and

children with cerebral palsy (CP), with intraclass correlation

coefficients (ICCs) of approximately 0.93–0.99 in children
