Theranostic nanoplatform for high‐performance dual‐modal magnetic resonance imaging‐guided therapy of orthotopic hepatocellular carcinoma

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This article introduces a biomimetic Mn‐doped polydopamine nanoplatform (HAMM NPs) coated with cancer cell membranes. It enables targeted hepatocellular carcinoma theranostics via T1/T2 dual‐mode magnetic resonance imaging and tumor microenvironment‐triggered sonodynamic therapy/chemodynamic therapy, achieving potent antitumor efficacy in subcutaneous ...

Recombinant erythropoietin treatment improves serum podocyte marker levels in diabetic kidney disease

Advances in Biomarker Sciences and Technology, 2023
Background: Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is an effective treatment for renal anemia. Recently, there is evidence to suggest that rHuEPO may reduce podocyte injury in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

Sodium toxicity in peritoneal dialysis: mechanisms and "solutions"

, 2020
The major trials in peritoneal dialysis (PD) have demonstrated that increasing peritoneal clearance of small solutes is not associated with any advantage on survival, whereas sodium and fluid overload heralds higher risk of death and technique failure ...

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Evaluation of peritoneal dialysis prescriptions in uremic rats

, 2023
Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) require dialysis or transplantation for their survival. There are few experimental animal models mimicking the human situation in which the animals are dependent on dialysis for their survival. We

Left atrial function in uraemic patients: Four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantitative technology study

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1316-1325, April 2025.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the utility of left atrial volume and function in uraemic patients using four‐dimensional automatic left atrial quantification (4D auto LAQ) technology. Methods Thirty‐four undialysed uraemic patients (U‐ND group), 60 dialysed uraemic patients (U‐D group), and 32 healthy volunteers (N group) were enrolled

Effects of receiving renal biopsy on the prognosis of chronic kidney disease patients with impaired renal function

BMC Nephrology, 2023
Background Impaired renal function was not a recognized indication for renal biopsy. The effects of receiving renal biopsy on the renal functional prognosis for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with impaired renal function need to be explored ...

The effect of SGLT2 inhibitor and HIF-PHI on the podocyte-specific molecules and cytoskeleton of diabetic podocytes

BMC Nephrology
Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHI) have pleiotropic properties that may affect glomerular podocytes.
