Nutrition for a Healthy Life
June 4, 2020
Dear NACSN members and friends:
I hope that you are safe and healthy!
Today, we just had a very successful China International Forum (CIF) at the virtual conference NUTRITION 2020 from 8:30 to 10:00 AM via ZOOM. CIF is a traditional activity sponsored by American Society for Nutrition (ASN), Chinese Nutrition Society (CNS) and North America Chinese Society for Nutrition (NACSN). There were at least 178 attendees online at one point. I would like to thank you for your attendance.
I would like to thank Dr. John Courtney (ASN Chief Executive Officer) for his leadership at ASN, and Mrs. Gwen Twillman (ASN Chief Knowledge Officer) and Mr. Dante Preciado (ASN Vice President, Engagement & International Affairs) for their efforts to find time spot and to set up ZOOM Webinar for CIF. ASN has overcome challenges and successfully launched the virtual Nutrition 2020 online. Congratulations!
Four speakers, Drs. Catherine Ross, Qiuzheng Wang, Margaret Rayman and An Pan, from three countries gave excellent presentations, which covered the topics of micronutrients and bioactive compounds on immunity and diseases. I would like to thank them for their time and efforts. I also want to thank Dr. Xingen Lei for co-chairing the event and his continuous contribution to the CIF. Please visit https://meeting.nutrition.org/ for any re-run or records of this event.
The pandemic of COVID-19 has changed our ways to live and do business tremendously and probably permanently. It also lets us appreciate more about health and society. Nutrition always plays a key role in maintaining health and fighting against diseases. I wish that those of us who study nutrition will contribute more to build a healthy society.

Abstract: Since January 2020, the epidemic of COVID-19, a diseased caused by infection of SARS-CoV2 also called 2019-nCoV, has become a focus of public health globally. To date, more than 2 million people have been infected, which has led to more than 147,000 deaths worldwide. SARS-CoV2 is a member of coronavirus family, which can infect both human and animals. This virus infects human through air droplets and impacts human respiratory system. Its infection acting with other comorbidities can be fatal. Currently, quick and accurate diagnostic tools have been developed to examine more and more people accurately and quickly. In addition, various forms of vaccines and drugs targeting the critical steps of viral proliferation have been investigated and may be on the market in the near future. Nutritional status is one factor that plays a critical role in a person’s immunity. This is also the case of COVID-19. This Webinar will provide an opportunity for people in nutritional science field to learn the life span of coronavirus, sources and infections routes, and prevention strategies; key knowledge of how inflammation is triggered during COVID19, and potential roles of nutrition or certain nutrients in improving immune function in relation to COVID19; dietary and nutritional considerations for enhancing immune defense system to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection, alleviate symptom and help with the recovery from COVID-19 infection; and critical issues regarding the design and execution of nutritional scientific research in the context of roles of nutrition in the COVID-19 treatment and prevention.
This is an event organized and offered by the NACSN. Any use of the content of this webinar in part or whole should be approved by the NACSN. All people interested in this topic are invited to attend.

1st webinar from North America Chinese Society for Nutrition (NACSN) in 2020 by Dr. Lixin Zhu
Add some more info about this item...
December 16, 2019
To all NACSN members and friends
Dear colleagues and friends:
It is my great pleasure to notify you of the first webinar from the North America Chinese Society for Nutrition (NACSN) in 2020. Dr. Lixin Zhu at Sun Yat-sen University will give a talk on the microbiome and its link to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Dr. Zhu is a lifetime member of NACSN. This is an excellent opportunity for NACSN members and friends to get a taste of one part of the nutritional sciences. Below, you will find detailed information about this webinar, speaker information, and abstract.
Activity: The First Webinar North America Chinese Society for Nutrition (NACSN) in 2020
Title: Microbiome Contribution in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Speaker: Lixin Zhu, PhD
Time: 9:00 to 10:00 AM (Eastern Standard Time)
Date: Saturday, January 4, 2020
Webinar link: https://zoom.us/j/8125694121
Meeting ID: 812 569 4121
For One tap mobile, please find your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aISXNp0At
Speaker information: Currently, Dr. Lixin Zhu is an associate professor in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yat-sen University. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He did his postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley before his tenure-track assistant professor position at SUNY Buffalo, where he conducted several microbiome studies in NAFLD. He also conducted microbiome studies in other gastrointestinal diseases such as constipation, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D).
Abstract: NAFLD is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Besides excess caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle, microbiome-derived insults are important contributing factors for the pathogenesis of this obesity-associated liver disease, largely due to the fact that the portal vein brought together the gut microbiota and the liver. The first study examining the gut microbiome of the NAFLD revealed a significant difference between NAFLD patients and healthy controls at every taxonomic unit, including a highly elevated representation of Enterobacteriaceae NAFLD microbiome, a fact in line with increased blood alcohol level in NAFLD. In addition to alcohol, gut bacterial products, bile acids and lipopolysaccharide have shown to contribute to the initiation or development of NAFLD. Future studies may focus on trimethylamine oxide and phenylacetic acid, which are emerging bacterial products that may contribute to the pathogenesis of NAFLD.
This is a free event organized and offered by the NACSN. Any use of the content of this webinar in part or whole should be approved by the NACSN.
