description: There is a close clinical association between hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome (NS) was close, but whether there is genetic causality between the two is not known. Using pooled data from a genome-wide association study (GWAS), the association between hypothyroidism and NS was explored via Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with hypothyroidism (or NS) were screened as genetic instrumental variables (IVs) from pooled GWAS data, and inverse-variance weighting (IVW) was used for the main analysis to estimate causal effects, with MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode used as complementary methods. Sensitivity analyses, including Cochran’s Q test, MR-Egger intercept, MR-PRESSO and leave-one-out, were also conducted to assess the robustness of the results. Genetically predicted hypothyroidism was positively associated with the risk of developing NS (IVW: OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.07–1.30, p = 0.00; MR-Egger: OR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.10–1.68, p = 0.01), and the MR-Egger intercept (intercept = −0.02, p = 0.14), MR-PRESSO test (p = 0.14), Cochran’s Q test (p = 0.15) and leave-one-out test results supported the robustness of the results. Genetically predicted NS status might not be associated with an increased risk of developing hypothyroidism (IVW: OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00–1.03, p = 0.08; MR-Egger: OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.98–1.04, p = 0.43), and the MR-Egger intercept (intercept < 0.01, p = 0.69), MR-PRESSO test (p = 0.64), Cochran’s Q test (p = 0.61) and leave-one-out test results supported the robustness of the results. Hypothyroidism status could increase the risk of developing NS.

Daylight Redirecting Components

description: In this work we present a characterisation of Daylight Redirecting Components (DRCs) by comparing a scanning with an image based Goniophotometer (GPs). Both GPs can be employed in order to measure Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF). The measurements of the BSDF can be transformed into BSDF data driven model. The latter one can be in turn used to perform light scattering simulations. The aim of this work is to validate the correlation between the measurements from both systems. Three different DRCs (LaserCut Panel (LCP), Daylight Redirecting Film (RF) and Daylight Redirecting Prisms (DRP))
with dimensions 15 x 30 cm2, 34 x 34 cm2and 30 x 30 cm2respectively were measured. The results for each sample for one light incident direction (θ(altitude)=24° and φ(azimuth)=60°) from both GPs were analysed and visualised in the software MountainV3.0.1. DRCs LCP and RFcorrelate to each other relatively well. The only discrepancy is their slightly wider scattered light distribution. However the DRP sample correlates to smaller extent, the scattered peaks are not only much wider but slightly differently positioned. The wider light distribution can be explained by different instrument signature (light beam diameter and resolution of the measurements). In addition to the visual assessment the total light transmission and Full Width at Half Maximum were compared. Similarly to the visual evaluation DRCs RFand LCP samples showed more coherent results (79.8% vs 88.4% for RFand 89.8% vs 78.0% for LCP) whereas transmission values for DRP vary significantly
more (76.9% vs 44.0%). The difference in RFsample can be explained by the instrumentsignature, however DRP sample requires further investigation in the future work.

description: As an important component of the glomerular filtration membrane, the state of the podocytes is closely related to kidney function, they are also key cells involved in aging and play a central role in the damage caused by renal aging. Therefore, understanding the aging process of podocytes will allow us to understand their susceptibility to injury and identify targeted protective mechanisms. In fact, the process of physiological aging itself can induce podocyte senescence. Pathological stresses, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, secretion of senescence-associated secretory phenotype, reduced autophagy, oncogene activation, altered transcription factors, DNA damage response, and other factors, play a crucial role in inducing premature senescence and accelerating aging. Senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) is a marker of aging, and β-hydroxybutyric acid treatment can reduce SA-β-gal activity to alleviate cellular senescence and damage. In addition, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-α, transforming growth factor-β signaling, glycogen synthase kinase-3β, cycle-dependent kinase, programmed cell death protein 1, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 are closely related to aging. The absence or elevation of these factors can affect aging through different mechanisms. Podocyte injury is not an independent process, and injured podocytes interact with the surrounding epithelial cells or other kidney cells to mediate the injury or loss of podocytes. In this review, we discuss the manifestations, molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic drugs for podocyte senescence. We included elamipretide, lithium, calorie restriction, rapamycin; and emerging treatment strategies, such as gene and immune therapies. More importantly, we summarize how podocyte interact with other kidney cells.

description: This study aims to establish a simplified and effective animal model of catheter malfunction caused by omental wrapped using negative pressure suction. The peritoneal dialysis catheter outlet was linked to a negative-pressure (0-75mmHg) suction pump to intensify the negative pressure. Different negative pressures were tested for model construction in vitro. In vivo, a model of peritoneal catheter malfunction caused by omental wrapped was constructed in five beagles after catheter placement. Catheter drainage conditions and related complications were monitored before and after the model establishment. In the vitro experiment, the overall success rate of constructed models was 90% (36/40). The total malfunction rate was higher in 62.5 mmHg (10/10) and 75 mmHg (10/10) than in 12.5 mmHg (8/10) and 37.5 mmHg (8/10). The outflow velocity of dialysate at 62.5 mmHg was significantly lower than that at 12.5 mmHg and 37.5 mmHg, without a statistically significant difference compared to 75 mmHg. In the in vivo experiment, catheter outflow velocity increased, and residual fluid volume decreased after omental wrapped (99.6 ± 6.7 ml/min vs. 32.6 ± 4.6 ml/min at initial five minutes, p < 0.0001; 69.2 ± 16.3 ml vs. 581.0 ± 109.4 ml, p < 0.001). And the outflow velocity was finally below 2 ml/min. No severe related complications (such as infection, organ damage, or bleeding) were observed through laparoscopic examination and dialysate tests seven days post-operation. Utilizing negative pressure suction to increase negative pressure around catheter tip is a simple, safe, and effective method for establishing an animal model of omental wrapped leading to catheter malfunction.

description: Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) was involved in the pathogenesis and development of kidney diseases. Many signaling pathways and factors regulate the expression of UCP2. We aimed to investigate the precise role of UCP2 and its signaling pathways in kidney diseases. We summarized the available evidence to yield a more detailed conclusion of the signal transduction pathways of UCP2 and its role in the development and progression of kidney diseases. UCP2 could interact with 14.3.3 family proteins, mitochondrial phospholipase iPLA2γ, NMDAR, glucokinase, PPARγ2. There existed a signaling pathway between UCP2 and NMDAR, PPARγ. UCP2 can inhibit the ROS production, inflammatory response, and apoptosis, which may protect against renal injury, particularly AKI. Meanwhile UCP2 can decrease ATP production and inhibit the secretion of insulin, which may alleviate chronic renal damages, such as diabetic nephropathy and kidney fibrosis. Homeostasis of UCP2 is helpful for kidney health. UCP2 may play different roles in different kinds of renal injury.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a trend toward working remotely and by 2023, a majority of employees preferred to work from home at least part-time. Despite the documented benefits of schedule flexibility to employees and employers, employer support for it is variable. Considering this context, we examined whether there are systematic biases against supporting remote work options for employees who have lower occupational status, who disclose a mental illness, or who are women. Using an experimental design, we exposed a probability sample of the U.S. adult population to a vignette character (VC) employed by a law firm who requested a hybrid schedule. We compared reactions to the VC’s request based on the VC’s occupational status (data entry clerk or lawyer), mental health (bipolar or no mention), and gender (woman or man). We found that the public tends to be more supportive of remote work arrangements for women than for men, and for lawyers than for data entry clerks, except if the lawyer has bipolar disorder. However, the public tends to support remote work for people with bipolar provided they believe it will improve their job performance. We conclude by recommending how to mitigate employer discrimination when evaluating remote work requests.

description: In my doctoral thesis comprising artefact and exegesis, I developed a creative nonfiction children’s picture book, for introductory environmental education, titled ‘My Life is in the Toilet,’ utilising composite photography of amphibians and the degradation of their habitat in concert with text. This book acquaints learners with science and promotes habitat conservation, species perpetuation and global sustainable management. My methodology employed autoethnography and narrativity, emphasizing imagination as a link between the arts and science, to advance the respective roles of humour, empathic intelligence, ecological consciousness, and sentient ecology. Conclusions are drawn about criteria for effective environmental education in picture books. My project demonstrates that the plight of one frog affects humanity, as amphibian species are presently threatened worldwide with mass extinction.

description: PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) are dynamic interchromosomal macromolecular complexes implicated in epigenetic regulation as well as antiviral defense. During herpesvirus infection, PML-NBs induce epigenetic silencing of viral genomes, however, this defense is antagonized by viral regulatory proteins such as IE1 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). Here, we show that PML-NBs undergo a drastic rearrangement into highly enlarged PML cages upon infection with IE1-deficient HCMV. Importantly, our results demonstrate that dual signaling by interferon and DNA damage response is required to elicit giant PML-NBs. DNA labeling revealed that invading HCMV genomes are entrapped inside PML-NBs and remain stably associated with PML cages in a transcriptionally repressed state. Intriguingly, by correlative light and transmission electron microscopy (EM), we observed that PML cages also entrap newly assembled viral capsids demonstrating a second defense layer in cells with incomplete first-line response. Further characterization by 3D EM showed that hundreds of viral capsids are tightly packed into several layers of fibrous PML. Overall, our data indicate that giant PML-NBs arise via combined interferon and DNA damage signaling which triggers entrapment of both nucleic acids and proteinaceous components. This represents a multilayered defense strategy to act in a cytoprotective manner and to combat viral infections.

description: To determine whether variability of serum uric acid (UA) is associated with risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a healthy population. Retrospective, longitudinal cohort study was conducted at a health examination center in China. The study enrolled subjects who had a minimum of three visits between 2011 and 2018. We assessed UA change and visit-to-visit UA variability including standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), variability independent of the mean (VIM), and average real variability (ARV). Rapid estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline was defined by annual eGFR change < −4 mL/min/1.73 m2/year. We conducted a multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis. Ten thousand seven hundred and thirty-eight participants were included. During 4.43 ± 1.31 years follow-up, there were 535 cases with rapid eGFR decline and 240 cases developed CKD. Compared to the non-rapid eGFR decline group and non-CKD group, the UA annual changes and variability were higher in the rapid eGFR decline group and CKD group. The highest quartile of UA annual changes and variability showed a higher incident rate of rapid eGFR decline and that of CKD. After adjusting for covariates, OR for eGFR rapid decline in UA variability were 1.69 [1.53, 1.86] for annual changes of UA, 1.17 [1.08, 1.27] for SD of UA, 1.16 [1.06, 1.25] for CV of UA, 1.16 [1.07, 1.25] for VIM of UA, and 1.10 [1.02, 1.19] for ARV of UA. Consistent results were observed when CKD is used as the outcome. Higher variability of serum UA was independently associated with the risk of kidney impairment.

University of Novi Sad, BioSense Institute, 21 000 Novi Sad, SerbiaAbstract: Plants can communicate with each other and with the surrounding environment through volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs will give plants a signal to communicate about different stressors and dangers to survival and well-being. When a plant is under stress or when it communicates with other plants or the soil, it releases VOCs. Sometimes, to protect themselves from herbivores and other predators, plants will release a VOC signal. Soil microorganisms and plant roots are the main sources of soil volatile organic compounds emissions. We have kept an observation on these VOCs which were released into the soil during the experiment. We haveselected two distinct genotypes of basil-Ocimum basilicum purpurescens and Ocimum basilicum L.-were planted for observation. Headspace gas-mass chromatography (GCMS) was utilized to detect VOCs. GCMS headspace analysis was performed on the native samples. Examining both genotype types indicated the presence of monoterpenes (alpha-Pinene and (+)-3-Carene), which primarily reflect abiotic stress. Plant-to-plant communication was facilitated by the monoterpene cymene, which was detected. Alcohol was also shown to be among the other category of chemicals. While nonanal and decanal signals are indicative of insect pheromones, octanal signals (Ocimum basilicum purpurescens and Ocimum basilicum L), which is implication of inhibition for plant growth. Additionally, hexanal and benzaldehyde were also detected as indicators of damage, which can trigger defense responses in plants. The collected data show that volatile organic components should be closely monitored as signal substances and future observation will include other genotypic types. Whereas prompt identification of signal volatile organic compounds in soil and plants may improve plant’s protection and yield.Key words: plant communication, volatile organic compound, terpenes, chromatography.

description: To compare the impact of tunneled cuffed catheters (TCCs) and arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) on outcomes in elderly hemodialysis (HD) patients. A retrospective matched cohort study was performed. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance the baseline conditions, and we compared all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), hospitalization, and infection rates between AVF and TCC patients ≥70 years old. Cox survival analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for death. There were 2119 patients from our center in the Chinese National Renal Data System (CNRDS) between 1 January 2010 and 10 October 2023. Among these patients, 77 TCC patients were matched with 77 AVF patients. There was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between the TCC and AVF groups (30.1/100 vs. 33.3/100 patient-years, p = 0.124). Among the propensity score-matched cohorts, no significant differences in Kaplan–Meier curves were observed between the two groups (log-rank p = 0.242). The TCC group had higher rates of MACCEs, hospitalization, and infection than the AVF group (33.7/100 vs. 29.5/100 patient-years, 101.2/100 vs. 79.5/100 patient-years, and 30.1/100 vs. 14.1/100 patient-years, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that high Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score was a risk factor for death. There was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between elderly HD patients receiving TCCs and AVFs. Compared with those with a TCC, elderly HD patients with an AVF have a lower risk of MACCEs, hospitalization, and infection.

description: In various disease contexts, magnesium abnormalities are associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) incidence. However, this association remains unclear and has not been systematically investigated in patients with cirrhosis. Hence, we aimed to elucidate the association between admission serum magnesium levels and AKI incidence in intensive care unit (ICU)-admitted cirrhotic patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using MIMIC-IV2.2 data, focusing on critically ill patients with cirrhosis. We employed univariable and multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analyses to robustly address our research objectives. To further substantiate the findings, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also conducted. Among the 3,228 enrolled ICU-admitted cirrhotic patients, 34.4% were female, and the overall AKI incidence was 68.6% (2,213/3,228). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed an independent relationship between elevated serum magnesium levels and increased AKI risk (OR = 1.55 [95% CI = 1.15–2.09], p = 0.004). Compared with individuals with serum magnesium levels < 1.6 mg/dL, individuals with serum magnesium levels in Q2 (1.6–2.6 mg/dL) and Q3 (≥2.6 mg/dL) had adjusted ORs for AKI of 1.89 (95% CI = 1.34–2.65, p < 0.001) and 2.19 (95% CI = 1.27–3.75, p = 0.005), respectively. The restricted cubic spline analysis revealed that AKI risk increased linearly with increasing serum magnesium levels. Subgroup analysis revealed that the association between serum magnesium levels and AKI incidence was remarkably stable in subgroup analysis (all Pinteraction >0.05). High serum magnesium concentrations were significantly associated with an increased AKI risk in ICU-admitted patients with cirrhosis. Further randomized trials are needed to confirm this association.

description: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) are at risk for hyperkalemia (HK), associated with cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death. Data on the burden of HK and management techniques among HD patients in China are still scarce. This study assessed the treatment modalities, recurrence, and prevalence of HK in Chinese HD patients. In this prospective cohort study conducted from May 2021 to July 2022, patients aged ≥18 years who had ESRD and were on HD were enrolled from 15 centers in China (up to 6 months). Overall, 600 patients were enrolled. At the baseline visit, mean (± standard deviation) urea reduction ratio was 68.0% ± 9.70 and Kt/V was 1.45 ± 0.496. Over 6 months, 453 (75.5%) patients experienced HK, of whom 356 (78.6%) recurred. Within 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months, 203 (44.8%), 262 (57.8%), 300 (66.2%), 326 (72.0%), 347 (76.6%), and 356 (78.6%) patients had at least one HK recurrence event, respectively. The proportions of patients with ≥1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 HK recurrence events were 356 (78.6%), 306 (67.5%), 250 (55.2%), 208 (45.9%), 161 (35.5%), and 110 (24.3%), respectively. Among the 453 patients who experienced HK, only 24 (5.3%) were treated with potassium binders: seven (1.5%) with sodium polystyrene sulfonate, 13 (2.9%) with calcium polystyrene sulfonate, and six (1.3%) with sodium zirconium cyclosilicate. Since HK is a chronic illness, long-term care is necessary. Patients on HD should have effective potassium management on non-dialysis days, yet our real-world population rarely used potassium binders. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT04799067

description: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of developing tuberculosis (TB). These patients may also be at higher risk of developing antitubercular treatment (ATT)-associated adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Although dose modification has been recommended, data regarding the impact of impaired kidney function on ATT-associated ADRs is sparse. We studied the incidence and profile of ATT-associated ADRs in patients with CKD and compared them with those with normal kidney function. This retrospective study analyzed all patients initiated on ATT from January 2016 to August 2019. Patients were grouped into CKD and normal kidney function based on their eGFR. Data on ATT-associated ADRs were collected from medical records. Predictors of ADRs were assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Additionally, Propensity score matching and analysis were done for CKD and normal kidney function in 1:3 ratio. Of 1815 patients on ATT, 75 (4.1%) had CKD. ADRs were more frequent [36/75 (48.0%) vs. 239/1740 (13.7%), p ≤ 0.0001] and more severe [15/46 (32.6%) vs. 43/283 (15.1%), p = 0.010] in CKD than those with normal kidney function. The most common ADRs were hepatobiliary [23/75 (30.6%) vs. 156/1740 (8.9%), p ≤ 0.0001], neuropsychiatric [8/75(10.6%) vs. 21/1740(1.2%), p ≤ 0.0001], renal [4/75(5.3%) vs. 8/1740(0.4%), p = 0.001], and gastrointestinal [5/75(6.6%) vs. 34/1740 (1.9%), p = 0.020]. CKD was an independent predictor for ADRs (OR −4.96, 95% CI: 2.79–8.82; p ≤ 0.0001). The matched cohort showed similar results. ATT-associated ADRs were more common and severe in patients with CKD, despite drug dose modifications. Optimal dosing of ATT in CKD needs to be further evaluated.
