Impact of Renin‐Angiotensin System Inhibitors on Renal Function During Temporary Ileostomy Period in Rectal Cancer Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study explored the potential impact of renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) on renal function during the ileostomy period in patients undergoing rectal cancer surgery. RASI use was associated with early postoperative renal impairment, and relatively slow recovery of renal function was observed until stoma closure.

The angiotensin II receptors type 1 and 2 modulate astrocytes and their crosstalk with microglia and neurons in an in vitro model of ischemic stroke

BMC Neuroscience
Background Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type of the central nervous system and are fundamentally involved in homeostasis, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity.

ZSF1 lean rats – How healthy are they?

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aimed to examine the health status, specifically the physiology and myocardial, vascular, and skeletal muscle function of lean ZSF1 rats by comparing them to age‐ and sex‐matched Wistar rats. Compared to Wistar controls, ZSF1 lean rats exhibited lower body weight, but showed increased heart, and skeletal muscle mass.

Response of Renal Podocytes to Excessive Hydrostatic Pressure: a Pathophysiologic Cascade in a Malignant Hypertension Model

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2017
Background/Aims: Renal injuries induced by increased intra-glomerular pressure coincide with podocyte detachment from the glomerular basement membrane (GBM).

Establishment of a mouse model of TMAO‐induced cardiac injury and application of MICT intervention

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aims to explore the establishment of an animal model of cardiac injury induced by trimethylamine‐N‐oxide (TMAO), a metabolite secreted by gut microorganisms, and to investigate its application in moderate‐intensity continuous training (MICT) intervention.

Effect of angiotensin II and losartan on the phagocytic activity of peritoneal macrophages from Balb/C mice

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
Angiotensin II (AII), a product of rennin-angiotensin system, exerts an important role on the function of immune system cells. In this study, the effect of AII on the phagocytic activity of mouse peritoneal macrophages was assessed.

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Association of Abatacept With Lower Mortality Risk Compared to Rituximab in Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: An Emulated Target Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The optimal treatment strategy for rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) remains uncertain, and direct comparative data between biologics are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of abatacept compared with rituximab in patients with RA‐ILD.

Drug‐Induced Raynaud's Phenomenon and Underlying Mechanism: A Disproportionality Analysis From the World Health Organization Pharmacovigilance Database

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objectives The aim of this study is to generate hypotheses about unknown drugs associated with the onset or worsening of Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and to explore their potential pathophysiologic mechanisms through a mixed disproportionality/clustering analysis from the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.
