Abstract
Sarcopenia, commonly observed in diabetes, is characterized by reduced muscle mass and function. However, the relationship between muscle oxygen saturation (SO₂) and sarcopenia remains unclear. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) offers a promising method for assessment. This study aimed to evaluate SO₂ distribution in diabetic sarcopenic patients using PAI and explore associations with clinical parameters. Type 2 diabetes patients (≥ 10 years) underwent PAI of the gastrocnemius and vastus lateralis muscles. Sarcopenia was diagnosed by AWGS 2019/2020 criteria. SO₂ values stratified patients into hypoxia, intermediate, and hyperoxia groups. The study included 64 sarcopenic and 115 non-sarcopenic patients. Mean SO₂ was significantly lower in sarcopenia (63.28 % vs. 66.26 %, P < 0.001). PAI-measured SO₂ was an independent protective factor (β = −0.10, P = 0.001). In conclusion, PAI-assessed SO₂ is associated with sarcopenia and may serve as an early screening biomarker.

期刊介绍:
The open access Photoacoustics journal (PACS) aims to publish original research and review contributions in the field of photoacoustics-optoacoustics-thermoacoustics. This field utilizes acoustical and ultrasonic phenomena excited by electromagnetic radiation for the detection, visualization, and characterization of various materials and biological tissues, including living organisms.
Recent advancements in laser technologies, ultrasound detection approaches, inverse theory, and fast reconstruction algorithms have greatly supported the rapid progress in this field. The unique contrast provided by molecular absorption in photoacoustic-optoacoustic-thermoacoustic methods has allowed for addressing unmet biological and medical needs such as pre-clinical research, clinical imaging of vasculature, tissue and disease physiology, drug efficacy, surgery guidance, and therapy monitoring.
Applications of this field encompass a wide range of medical imaging and sensing applications, including cancer, vascular diseases, brain neurophysiology, ophthalmology, and diabetes. Moreover, photoacoustics-optoacoustics-thermoacoustics is a multidisciplinary field, with contributions from chemistry and nanotechnology, where novel materials such as biodegradable nanoparticles, organic dyes, targeted agents, theranostic probes, and genetically expressed markers are being actively developed.
These advanced materials have significantly improved the signal-to-noise ratio and tissue contrast in photoacoustic methods.
