Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination for the assessment of renal perfusion in cats with chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination (CEUS) is a functional imaging technique allowing noninvasive assessment of tissue perfusion. Studies in humans show that the technique holds great potential to be used in the diagnosis of chronic ...

Isorhamnetin Alleviates Renal Fibrosis Induced by Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Senescence Via Inhibition of the IL‐6/IL‐6R Signaling Pathway

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
IL‐6 from RTECs upregulates TGF‐β in macrophages, promoting fibroblast transdifferentiation. Isorhamnetin inhibits this effect. ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health issue. Kidney fibrosis is a key mechanism leading to end‐stage renal disease.

Optimization of bioactive compounds extraction from Rosa canina L. pseudofruit through the action of two hydrolytic enzyme preparations

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKROUND The pseudo‐fruit of Rosa canina L. is a rich source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐cancer, anti‐diabetic, anti‐aging, and antimicrobial activities. The aim of the present study is the optimization of a green process based on the action of two hydrolytic enzyme preparations, namely Pectinex® Ultra ...

Hydration with sodium bicarbonate does not prevent contrast nephropathy: a multicenter clinical trial [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Radiographic contrast media exposition can cause acute renal function impairment. There is limited and conflicting evidence that hydration with sodium bicarbonate prevents contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing cardiac ...

Dextran sodium sulfate confounds causal role of periodontitis in inflammatory bowel disease

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional link between periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To investigate this relationship, experimental models commonly use dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) to induce colitis. However, DSS is presumed to selectively affect the colon, and its potential off‐target effects on the oral ...

Forsythiaside A Alleviates Kidney Injury and Intestinal Epithelium Dysfunction in IgA Nephropathy by Inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.

Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.

Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease After Hepatitis C Virus Cure

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an infectious disease carrying a high risk of metabolic disorders. Chronic HCV (CHC) patients can possess extrahepatic manifestations such as diabetes, steatotic liver disease (SLD), and other metabolic alterations.

Non‐Histone Lactylation: A New Frontier in Cerebral Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reperfusion therapy is the mainstay of treatment for ischemic stroke (IS) but frequently exacerbates secondary injury. Following cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, lactate accumulates markedly. Traditionally regarded as a metabolic byproduct, lactate has gained new significance with the discovery of protein lactylation. In addition to experimental
