miR-21 Promotes Fibrogenesis in Peritoneal Dialysis. [PDF]

, 2017
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a life-saving form of renal replacement therapy for those with end-stage kidney disease. Mesothelial cells (MCs) line the peritoneal cavity and help define peritoneal response to treatment-associated injury, a major reason for

A Dual‐Layer Hydrogel Barrier Integrating Bio‐Adhesive and Anti‐Adhesive Properties Prevents Postoperative Abdominal Adhesions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 11, April 25, 2025.
A new dual‐layer hydrogel barrier for preventing postoperative abdominal adhesions is developed. The inner layer, consisting of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and thioctic acid (TA), enhanced adhesion to moist tissues. The outer layer combines zwitterionic, thermoresponsive hyaluronic acid with anti‐inflammatory epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and forms a ...

Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients Is Not Simply Associated with Extracellular Water Expansion

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2019
Background: Cardiac death is increased in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a measurement of arterial stiffness, and previous reports linked PWV to increased extracellular water (ECW).

Adhesion barriers in gynecologic surgeries and cesarean section: An Asia‐Pacific expert panel consensus recommendation

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 436-448, February 2025.
Abstract Adhesions arising from gynecologic surgeries and cesarean sections pose substantial clinical, social, and economic challenges, leading to issues like pelvic pain, infertility, bowel obstruction, and recurring surgeries. Preventing adhesions is a pressing unmet need, hindered by difficulties in assessing postoperative adhesions and ...

Serum sodium to chloride ratio and mortality on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a multicenter retrospective study

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2025.
In this study, 3341 patients on peritoneal dialysis between 2005 and 2021 were enrolled and grouped into quartiles according to baseline Na/Cl. After following up for a median of 5.77 years, the results showed that the highest Na/Cl quartile patients were associated with lower all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality, compared with that of the lowest ...
