Abnormal Cystatin C Levels in Two Patients with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome

open access: yes, 2011
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by central obesity, mental impairment, rod-cone dystrophy, polydactyly, hypogonadism in males, and renal abnormalities. The causative genes have been identified as BBS1-14.

Association of serum cystatin C level with coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden: a comprehensive analysis of observational studies and genetic study

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background and Aims Epidemiological studies show that high circulating cystatin C is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), independent of creatinine-based renal function measurements.

Outcomes and adverse effects of teduglutide treatment with periodic withdrawal in pediatric short bowel patients

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives We evaluated the efficacy and safety of teduglutide in a real‐world cohort in which national reimbursement policies required treatment interruptions. The primary outcomes were reduction in parenteral support (PS) and treatment‐related adverse effects, and the secondary outcome was the impact of the mandated withdrawal periods ...

Head‐to‐Head Comparison of Four Ultrasound Elastography Techniques in Detecting Advanced Fibrosis

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Elastography is an important noninvasive method for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF); however, evidence remains insufficient, particularly regarding acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) techniques. This prospective mulitcenter study concludes that vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) demonstrates superior diagnostic performance to ...

Harnessing Natural Compounds in Psoriasis: Targeting Cellular Pathways for Effective Therapy

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Natural compounds act on key cellular pathways in psoriasis by suppressing keratinocyte hyperproliferation, modulating Th17/IL‐17‐mediated immune responses, and reducing oxidative stress. These multi‐target effects highlight their potential as safer adjunctive therapies alongside conventional treatments.

Urinary symmetric dimethylarginine: A promising biomarker for acute kidney injury in dogs with pyometra

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) is a biomarker of renal function derived from arginine methylation, unaffected by muscle mass or diet, and increases after only a 25% reduction in renal function, allowing earlier detection of renal dysfunction compared with serum creatinine.

Identification and characterization of testis- and epididymis-specific genes: cystatin SC and cystatin TE-1

open access: yes, 2002
Differential display-reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction was used to examine Sertoli cell gene expression. As a result, two new members of the mouse cystatin multigene family were isolated and named cystatin SC (cystatin-related gene ...
