The water‐soluble polysaccharide GSBP‐N‐a‐1 with an average molecular weight of 3.82 kDa was successfully isolated and purified from Gentiana scabra. It was confirmed that the crude polysaccharides of Gentiana scabra could inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response by activating the Nrf2‐HO‐1 pathway, and significantly alleviate the chemical ...

In vitro studies are essential in pre-clinical research. While choice of cell lines is often driven by handling and cost-effectiveness, in-depth knowledge on specific characteristics is scant. Mesothelial cells, which interact with endothelial cells, are

Inflammation in Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]
During peritoneal dialysis, peritoneal cells are repeatedly exposed to a non-physiological hypertonic environment with high glucose content and low pH. Current sterile dialysis solutions cause inflammation in the submesothelial compact zone that leads to fibrosis, neoangiogenesis, progressive increases in solute transfer and even ultrafiltration ...

Peritoneal macrophage heterogeneity is associated with different peritoneal dialysis outcomes [PDF]
Peritonitis remains the major obstacle for the maintenance of long-term peritoneal dialysis and dysregulated host peritoneal immune responses may compromise local anti-infectious defense, leading to treatment failure.

Urgent-Start Peritoneal Dialysis – a viable option? A case report and literature review [PDF]
Background: Many patients with end -stage renal disease start renal replacement therapy in an unplanned manner. The vast majority initiate hemodialysis by a central venous catheter, since its use is more widespread and available.

The impact of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis on mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients [PDF]
Results concerning the association between peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis and mortality in peritoneal dialysis patients are inconclusive, with one potential reason being that the time-dependent effect of peritonitis has rarely been considered in previous studies.

Effect of glucose concentration on peritoneal inflammatory cytokines in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: It is known that glucose concentrations of peritoneal dialysis solutions are detrimental to the peritoneal membrane. In order to determine the effect of glucose concentration on cytokine levels of peritoneal fluid of continuous ambulatory ...
