description: Osteoporosis in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients has been overlooked, and the risk factors of osteoporosis in these patients have not been adequately studied. To identify risk factors for osteoporosis in pre-dialysis CKD patients and develop predictive models to estimate the likelihood of osteoporosis. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure bone mineral density, and clinical examination results were collected from 326 pre-dialysis CKD patients. Binary logistic regression was employed to explore the risk factors associated with osteoporosis and develop predictive models. In this cohort, 53.4% (n = 174) were male, 46.6% (n = 152) were female, and 21.8% (n = 71) were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Among those diagnosed with osteoporosis, 67.6% (n = 48) were female and 32.4% (n = 23) were male. Older age and low 25-(OH)-Vitamin D levels were identified as risk factors for osteoporosis in males. For females, older age, being underweight, higher bone alkaline phosphatase (NBAP), and advanced CKD (G5) were significant risk factors, while higher iPTH was protective. Older age, being underweight, and higher NBAP were risk factors for osteoporosis in the G1-4 subgroup. In the G5 subgroup, older age and higher NBAP increased the risk, while high 25-(OH)-Vitamin D or iPTH had protective effects. Nomogram models were developed to assess osteoporosis risk in pre-dialysis patients based on gender and renal function stage. Risk factors for osteoporosis vary by gender and renal function stages. The nomogram clinical prediction models we constructed may aid in the rapid screening of patients at high risk of osteoporosis.

description: Rejection is one of the major factors affecting the long-term prognosis of kidney transplantation, and timely recognition and aggressive treatment of rejection is essential to prevent disease progression. RBPs are proteins that bind to RNA to form ribonucleoprotein complexes, thereby affecting RNA stability, processing, splicing, localization, transport, and translation, which play a key role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. However, their role in renal transplant rejection and long-term graft survival is unclear. The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze the expression of RPBs in renal rejection and use it to construct a robust prediction strategy for long-term graft survival. The microarray expression profiles used in this study were obtained from GEO database. In this study, a total of eight hub RBPs were identified, all of which were upregulated in renal rejection samples. Based on these RBPs, the renal rejection samples could be categorized into two different clusters (cluster A and cluster B). Inflammatory activation in cluster B and functional enrichment analysis showed a strong association with rejection-related pathways. The diagnostic prediction model had a high diagnostic accuracy for T cell mediated rejection (TCMR) in renal grafts (area under the curve = 0.86). The prognostic prediction model effectively predicts the prognosis and survival of renal grafts (p < .001) and applies to both rejection and non-rejection situations. Finally, we validated the expression of hub genes, and patient prognosis in clinical samples, respectively, and the results were consistent with the above analysis.

description: Studies have shown that in hypertensive patients, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a poor prognosis. Inflammation is a highly important factor in the progression of CKD. Detecting systemic inflammation and intervening promptly in patients with hypertension may help reduce the risk of CKD. The systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) is a tool used to measure the systemic inflammatory response, but its relationship with CKD in patients with hypertension remains uncertain. We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was conducted between 1999 and 2018. The analysis included a total of 20,243 participants, categorized into three groups based on SIRI tertiles. Logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline analysis were used to examine the relationship between the SIRI and CKD. In patients with hypertension, there was a notable relationship between the SIRI and the odds of developing CKD. After full adjustment, there was a 31% greater likelihood of developing CKD associated with each incremental increase of 1 unit in the SIRI (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.24–1.39, p < 0.001). The groups with greater SIRI values exhibited greater odds of developing CKD than did the T1 group (T2: OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04–1.38, p = 0.015; T3: OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.47–1.94, p < 0.001). A high SIRI is associated with an increased risk of CKD in hypertensive patients. The greater the SIRI is, the greater the risk of CKD in hypertensive patients.

description: This study aimed to investigate the correlations between estimated small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (esd-LDL-c) and the development of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality in individuals with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or diabetes mellitus (DM) concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD). We analyzed the data from a biopsy-proven DKD cohort conducted at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between 2009 and 2021 (the DKD cohort) and participants with DM and CKD in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011–2014 (the NHANES DM-CKD cohort). Cox regression analysis was also used to estimate associations between esd-LDL-c and the incidence of ESKD, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. There were 175 ESKD events among 338 participants in the DKD cohort. Patients were divided into three groups based on esd-LDL-c tertiles (T1 < 33.7 mg/dL, T2 ≥ 33.7 mg/dL to <45.9 mg/dL, T3 ≥ 45.9 mg/dL). The highest tertile of esd-LDL-c was associated with ESKD (adjusted HR 2.016, 95% CI 1.144–3.554, p = .015). Furthermore, there were 99 deaths (39 cardiovascular) among 293 participants in the NHANES DM-CKD cohort. Participants were classified into three groups in line with the tertile values of esd-LDL-c in the DKD cohort. The highest tertile of esd-LDL-c was associated with cardiovascular mortality (adjusted HR 3.95, 95% CI 1.3–12, p = .016) and all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.06–5.32, p = .036). Higher esd-LDL-c was associated with increased risk of ESKD in people with biopsy-proven DKD, and higher cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk among those with DM-CKD.

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is an extremely devastating disease, with many pathological features which ultimately result in motor dysfunction and death. In search of therapeutic avenues, extensive investigation into these characteristics has revealed an overwhelming majority of cases presenting with one specific pathology – mutant TDP43. In addition to this, many metabolic side effects have been linked to ALS pathogenesis, including hypermetabolism – an increase in the use of energetic sources. Hypermetabolism along with many other metabolic defects result in further exacerbation of paralytic symptoms, and a decrease in survival time. To date, there exists no model that effectively produces both mutant TDP43 and significant metabolic issues, impeding the understanding of the role of TDP43 in metabolic dysfunction - hence halting development of therapeutic options. Previous work by colleagues has revealed that an inducible mouse model of TDP43 shows potential energetic defects, and as such warrants further investigation. Within my thesis, I characterise many aspects of the metabolic profile of iTDP43A315T mice, and further link them to TDP43 pathogenesis. I uncover glycogen storage dysregulation within these mice, alongside metabolic phenotypes similar to that of hypermetabolic ALS patients. As such, I investigate the link between neurodegenerative mechanisms and metabolic dysregulation within a mouse model of TDP43-based motor neuron disease and provide avenues for future research to take place within this field.

description: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant issue in public health, displaying a high occurrence rate and mortality rate. Ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death (PCD), is characterized by iron accumulation and intensified lipid peroxidation. Recent studies have demonstrated the pivotal significance of ferroptosis in AKI caused by diverse stimuli, including ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), sepsis and toxins. Autophagy, a multistep process that targets damaged organelles and macromolecules for degradation and recycling, also plays an essential role in AKI. Previous research has demonstrated that autophagy deletion in proximal tubules could aggravate tubular injury and renal function loss, indicating the protective function of autophagy in AKI. Consequently, finding ways to stimulate autophagy has become a crucial therapeutic strategy. The recent discovery of the role of selective autophagy in influencing ferroptosis has identified new therapeutic targets for AKI and has highlighted the importance of understanding the cross-talk between autophagy and ferroptosis. This study aims to provide an overview of the signaling pathways involved in ferroptosis and autophagy, focusing on the mechanisms and functions of selective autophagy and autophagy-dependent ferroptosis. We hope to establish a foundation for future investigations into the interaction between autophagy and ferroptosis in AKI as well as other diseases.

description: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a widely used sustainable kidney replacement therapy. Prolonged use of PD fluids is associated with mesothelial-mesenchymal transition, peritoneal fibrosis, and eventual ultrafiltration (UF) failure. However, the impact of pressure on the peritoneum remains unclear. In the present study, we hypothesized increased pressure is a potential contributing factor to peritoneal fibrosis and investigated the possible mechanisms. In vitro experiments found that pressurization led to a mesenchymal phenotype, the expression of fibrotic markers and inflammatory factors in human mesothelial MeT-5A cells. Pressure also increased cell proliferation and augmented cell migration potential in MeT-5A cells. The mouse PD model and human peritoneum equilibrium test (PET) data both showed a positive association between higher pressure and increased small solute transport, along with decreased net UF. Mechanistically, we found that significant upregulation of CD44 in mesothelial cells upon pressurization. Notably, the treatment of CD44 neutralizing antibodies prevented pressure-induced phenotypic changes in mesothelial cells, while a CD44 inhibitor oligo-fucoidan ameliorated pressure-induced peritoneal thickening, fibrosis, and inflammation in PD mice. To conclude, intraperitoneal pressure results in peritoneal fibrosis in PD via CD44-mediated mesothelial changes and inflammation. CD44 blockage can be utilized as a novel preventive approach for PD-related peritoneal fibrosis and UF failure.

description: The primary objective of this report is to integrate various observation systems with dynamicdatasets and advanced high-resolution modelling systems. This integration aims to effectivelycapture the spatiotemporal variations in CO2 concentrations and flux distributions within urbanenvironments. Consequently, this approach enhances our ability to distinguish anddifferentiate between anthropogenic and biogenic CO2 fluxes, contributing to a deeperunderstanding of urban carbon dynamics.The work described in this report is separated into two locations (Heraklion and Basel) whereurban flux towers have been active since several years. In order to assess the urban fluxes atthe two cities, two different urban flux models (SUEWS, diFUME) have been applied (one ateach city) and the model estimations are compared to the urban flux observations from theavailable towers. In addition to the urban flux datasets from the towers, a series of otherdatasets are used in the modelling process, such as remote sensing imagery, meteorologicalobservations, population and traffic data.This report demonstrates the complexity of the urban CO2 flux spatiotemporal dynamics andthe need of the combined use of models and in-situ observations to achieve a thoroughassessment of the main processes contributing to the total emissions originating from urbanareas.

description: Backgrounds: The malfunction of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter is still an intractable problem. A modified open surgical revision technique with suturing fixation and without catheter removal for malfunctioning catheter was developed to evaluated the efficacy and safety between simultaneous catheter replacement technique. Methods: A total of 167 PD patients with malfunctioning catheter were retrospectively reviewed. For the salvage of PD catheters, patients underwent modified open surgical revision (group A) or simultaneous catheter replacement (group B). The baseline characteristics before operation, perioperative condition, complications and outcomes were compared between both groups. Results: Patients of group A showed significantly shorter operative time (67.4 ± 22.1 versus 82.8 ± 21.1 min, p = 0.009), less postoperative pain score within 24 h (median 0.0 versus 2.0, p < 0.001), quicker start of PD (1.06 ± 0.31 versus 1.89 ± 0.89 days, p < 0.001), shorter length of stay (9.89 ± 5.11 versus 12.55 ± 7.37 days, p = 0.020) than group B. In terms of complications, the incidence of recurred catheter malfunction in group A was significantly lower than those in group B (1/114 versus 12/53, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in mechanical complications (bloody effluent, dialysate leakage, and hernia) and early peritonitis between the groups. The group A patients had a favorable catheter survival rate compared with group B (log-rank, p = 0.004). Conclusions: Our modified open surgical revision technique is a safe, simple and fast method, and offers a better outcome with minimal risk of recurrence of catheter malfunction without additional cost and equipment. This technique is worthy of clinical application.

description: Initiating dialysis therapy in elderly patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a challenging decision. We aimed to examine the mortality rates among elderly patients who underwent hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or comprehensive conservative care. This retrospective cohort study included elderly patients (≥70 years) with ESKD who selected their treatment options from January 2008 to December 2018. Patients were categorized into three groups: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and comprehensive conservative care. The outcome of interest was all-cause mortality analyzed using flexible parametric survival models. Propensity score analysis with inverse probability treatment weighting technique was performed, incorporating age, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. The study included 719 elderly ESKD patients with mean age of 78.2 ± 4.9 years, 52.3% were male, and 60.1% died during the median follow-up period of 22.1 months. In a fully adjusted model, patients receiving comprehensive conservative care (n = 50) had higher mortality rates than those receiving hemodialysis (n = 317) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 5.60; 95% CI 2.26–13.84, p < 0.001). However, patients who received peritoneal dialysis (n = 352) had a similar mortality rate when compared to those who received hemodialysis (adjusted HR 1.38; 95% CI 0.78–2.44, p = 0.275). The higher mortality rate in the comprehensive conservative care group remained significantly higher than in the hemodialysis group among patients aged ≥80 years (adjusted HR 4.97; 95% CI 1.32–18.80, p = 0.018). Among elderly patients (≥70 years), treatment with dialysis was associated with longer survival rates. This survival advantage persisted in patients aged ≥80 years who chose hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis over comprehensive conservative care.

description: The survival of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is highly dependent on their nutritional status. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an indicator used to assess nutritional status and is calculated as: PNI = (serum albumin in g/dL) × 10 + (total lymphocyte count in/mm3) × 0.005. In this retrospective study, we investigated the correlation between this index and clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with AKI receiving CRRT. We analyzed data from 2076 critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit at Changhua Christian Hospital, a tertiary hospital in central Taiwan, between January 1, 2010, and April 30, 2021. All these patients met the inclusion criteria of the study. The relationship between PNI and renal replacement therapy-free survival (RRTFS) and mortality was examined using logistic regression models, Cox proportional hazard models, and propensity score matching. High utilization rate of parenteral nutrition (PN) was observed in our study. Subgroup analysis was performed to explore the interaction effect between PNI and PN on mortality. Patients with higher PNI levels exhibited a greater likelihood of achieving RRTFS, with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.43 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.98-2.97, p-value < 0.001). Additionally, these patients demonstrated higher survival rates, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.72-0.98) for 28-day mortality and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.69-0.92) for 90-day mortality (all p-values < 0.05), compared to those in the low PNI group. While a high utilization rate of parenteral nutrition (PN) was observed, with 78.86% of CRRT patients receiving PN, subgroup analysis showed that high PNI had an independent protective effect on mortality outcomes in AKI patients receiving CRRT, regardless of their PN status. PNI can serve as an easy, simple, and efficient measure of lymphocytes and albumin levels to predict RRTFS and mortality in AKI patients with require CRRT.

description: Finerenone has been approved for treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with reducing cardiorenal risk. Real-world data on finerenone treatment for the management of DKD are presently lacking. This study aimed to investigate the effect of finerenone on the renal parameters of the Chinese DKD population in the real-world medical setting for the first time, especially in combination with renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Forty-two DKD patients were selected and completed a 6-month finerenone treatment. Renal parameters and adverse effects were collected at every visit. The median urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was 1426.11 (755.42, 3638.23) mg/g. Among them, the proportion of patients with a UACR of 300–5000 mg/g was 76.2%, and the proportion of patients with a UACR of >5000 mg/g was 14.3%. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 54.50 (34.16, 81.73) mL/min/1.73 m2. Finerenone decreased the UACR significantly throughout the study period (p < .05). The maximal decline of UACR at month 6 was 73%. Moreover, the proportion of patients with a 30% or greater reduction in UACR was 68.42% in month 6. There was a smaller decline (9–11%) in the eGFR after initiating finerenone (p > .05). One patient each discontinued finerenone due to hyperkalemia (2.4%) and acute kidney injury (2.4%). No patient reported hypotension, breast pain, and gynecomastia. This study from China first demonstrated finerenone decreased UACR with manageable safety in real-world DKD treatment. A triple regimen of RASi, SGLT2i, and finerenone may be a promising treatment strategy for lowering albuminuria and reducing hyperkalemia risk in advanced DKD patients.

description: This article explores the transformational potential of centering indigenous identities and heritage within academic literacy instruction in higher education. The dominance of Eurocentric pedagogies in higher education has often marginalized African epistemologies and cultural narratives, limiting students’ engagement and sense of belonging. Drawing on examples such as the Ma’at and Tewahedo traditions, this work argues that academic literacy should embrace Indigenous Knowledge Systems and the cultural capital students bring to the classroom. By integrating indigenous identities into disciplinary discourses, educators can create more inclusive learning environments that challenge historical power dynamics and elevate marginalized voices. This analysis highlights practical strategies for educators to foster critical thinking, reading, and writing while affirming students’ identities. Ultimately, this article demonstrates that activating Indigenous Knowledge Systems can create classrooms that are inclusive and reflective of African identities.

description: Chronic kidney disease is a growing health issue, and the options of prevention and therapy remain limited. Although a number of observational studies have linked higher Lp(a) [lipoprotein(a)] levels to the kidney impairment, the causal relationship remains to be determined. The purpose of this study was to assess the causal association between Lp(a) levels and CKD. We selected eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with Lp(a) levels as instrumental variables. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) from CKDGen consortium yielded the summary data information for CKD. We designed the bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. The estimates were computed using inverse-variance weighted (IVW), simple median, weighted median, and maximum likelihood. MR-Egger regression was used to detect pleiotropy. Fixed-effect IVW analysis indicated that genetically predicted Lp(a) levels were associated with CKD significantly (odds ratio, 1.039; 95% CI, 1.009–1.069; p = 0.010). The SNPs showed no pleiotropy according to result of MR-Egger test. Results from sensitivity analyses were consistent. In the inverse MR analysis, random-effect IVW method showed CKD had no causal effect on the elevated Lp(a) (odds ratio, 1.154; 95% CI, 0.845–1.576; p = 0.367). In this bidirectional two-sample MR analysis, the causal deteriorating effects of genetically predicted plasma Lp(a) levels on the risk of CKD were identified. On the contrary, there is no evidence to support a causal effect of CKD on Lp(a) levels.

description: Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is now recognized as a curable disease with a good prognosis if intervention occurs in the early stage. However, the mid-term outcomes of TRAS when treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stent placement have yet to be fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to compare mid-term graft and patient survival of TRAS group with a control group. Ninety-two patients were diagnosed of TRAS between January 2016 and January 2022 in our center. Fifty-six pairs of recipients with grafts from the same donor were selected as a study group with TRAS and a control group without TRAS, respectively. All donor kidneys were from deceased organ donation rather than living donors. The primary endpoints were graft and patient survival. The secondary outcomes were changes in renal graft function. The mean follow-up time for the TRAS group was 43.6 months, while the mean follow-up time for the control group was 45.3 months. In the TRAS group, the age of patients ranged from 11 to 62 years with 39 males and 17 females. In the control group, the age of patients ranged from 18 to 67 years with 40 males and 16 females. In the TRAS group, there were more patients with diabetic nephropathy as the primary renal disease compared to the control group (5/56 vs 0/56), and the incidence of acute rejection was higher in the TRAS group than in the control group (12/56 vs 3/56). Eight patients in the TRAS group and one patient in the control group experienced graft loss (p = .019). Four patients in the TRAS group and four patients in the control group died with functional renal allograft during the follow-up time (p = .989). The levels of eGFR did not differ significantly between the two groups in the first three years after kidney transplant (p > .05). Patients in the TRAS group had worse graft functionality (eGFR, 44.96 ± 18.9 vs 54.9 ± 19.6 mL/min) in the fourth year when compared with the control group (p = .01). The graft function deteriorated faster, and graft survival was lower in the TRAS group treated by stent placement when compared with a control group without TRAS over the mid-term.
