Magnetic Resonance Imaging–Derived Renal Oxygenation and Perfusion During Continuous, Steady‐State Angiotensin‐II Infusion in Healthy Humans

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe role of kidney hypoxia is considered pivotal in the progression of chronic kidney disease. A widely used method to assess kidney oxygenation is blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD)–magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), but its interpretation ...

Targeted Expansion of Treg Cells to Induce Immune Tolerance after Kidney Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐targeting nanoparticle platform that selectively engages graft stromal cells via CD248 receptors while employing kidney‐ specific promoters (NPHS2) to drive localized IL‐ 2/TGF‐βexpression is developed. This approach achieves three therapeutic objectives:1) intragraft Treg polarization without systemic cytokine exposure;2) reduced dependence on ...

A Pilot Study: The Beneficial Effects of Combined Statin-exercise Therapy on Cognitive Function in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease and Mild Cognitive Decline. [PDF]

, 2017
Objective Hypercholesterolemia, a risk factor in cognitive impairment, can be treated with statins. However, cognitive decline associated with "statins" (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) is a clinical concern.

Serum cystatin C is a sensitive early marker for changes in the glomerular filtration rate in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery

Clinics, 2014
OBJECTIVE:Pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopy results in transient oliguria and decreased glomerular filtration and renal blood flow. The presence of oliguria and elevated serum creatinine is suggestive of acute renal injury.

Elevated cystatin-C concentration is associated with progression to prediabetes: the Western New York Study [PDF]

, 2007
OBJECTIVE – We conducted a nested case-control investigation to examine if elevated baseline concentrations of cystatin-C predicted progression from normoglycaemia to prediabetes over 6 years of follow-up from the Western New York Health Study. RESEARCH

New Model for Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in Patients With Cancer

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2017
Purpose The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is essential for carboplatin chemotherapy dosing; however, the best method to estimate GFR in patients with cancer is unknown. We identify the most accurate and least biased method. Methods We obtained data on

Impairment in Glomerular Filtration Rate or Glomerular Filtration Barrier and Occurrence of Stroke [PDF]

Archives of Neurology, 2008
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with substantial burden and is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, data on the relationship between CKD and stroke are few and are limited by unreliable or inadequate assessment of renal function.To properly assess the relationship between renal insufficiency and stroke in stroke ...

Nasal Mucosa‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles as a Systemic Antiaging Intervention

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that nasal mucosa‐derived extracellular vesicles (nmEVs) exert systemic anti‐ageing effects in mice by restoring circadian rhythm, suppressing cellular senescence, and improving cognitive function. In aged human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, nmEVs reverse senescence‐associated phenotypes and reactivate core clock gene expression.
