Acute kidney injury (AKI) involves a series of syndromes characterized by rapid increase in creatinine levels. Ferroptosis, as an iron-dependent mode programmed cell death, reportedly participates the pathogenesis AKI. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3)-mediated m6A modification has been recently associated with various diseases; however, mechanism METTL3 crosstalk molecules involved ferroptosis is not clearly understood. Here, we investigated between METTL3-mediated and was elevated patients...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) lacks a definitive therapeutic approach beyond supportive care. One significant pathological mechanism involves the regulated death of tubular epithelial cells; however, regulatory mechanisms underlying this cell pathway require further investigation. The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification, recognized as most prevalent modification in eukaryotes, plays critical role processes associated with AKI. Here, study investigates association between methyltransferase-like...

N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) refers to the methylation modification occurring at nitrogen-6 position of adenosine. Many human physiological processes such as modulation spermatogenesis are caused by m6A RNA modifications. However, relationship between regulators and kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) remains rarely investigated. This work aimed explore influence in KIRC. We examined abnormally expressed among different clinicopathological features recognized three subgroups (KIRC1, KIRC2,...
Diabetic nephropathy is a lethal disease that can lead to chronic kidney and end-stage disease. Exosomes, which are nanosized extracellular vesicles, closely involved in intercellular communication. Most importantly, exosomes play critical roles occurrence development. However, the function of diabetic progression has not been fully elucidated. In present study, we determined expression profiles differences lncRNAs, mRNAs, circRNAs miRNAs derived from human renal tubular epithelial cells...
Reaction diffusion is the most common growth modelling methodology due to its simplicity and consistency with biological tumor process. However, current extensions of reaction model lack one or more following: efficient inclusion treatments' effects, taking into account viscoelasticity brain tissues, guaranteed stability numerical solution. We propose a new overcome aforementioned drawbacks. Guided by directional information derived from tensor imaging, our relates tissue heterogeneity...
Phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs), particularly posterior chamber pIOLs, are becoming important for patients with high myopia and thin corneas. By phakic intraocular, we mean the ocular environmental conditions, where natural lens is unremoved. A new pIOL, sine wave refractive (SW-PRL), in development stage, its aqueous humor (AH) dynamics effects of geometry on flow characteristics not well understood. To analyze adaptability functionality SW-PRL, a comparison study made counterparts,...
Background Right internal jugular vein (IJV) is a preferred access route for tunneled (cuffed) dialysis catheters (TDCs), and both right external (EJV) left IJV are alternative routes patients in case the isn't available TDC placement. This retrospective study aimed to determine if disparity exists between two hemodialysis terms of outcomes TDCs. Methods 49 who required TDCs through EJV (n = 21) or 28) as long-term vascular were included this study. The primary end point was cumulative...
Abstract Albuminuria is a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Podocyte injury significantly contributes to proteinuria in DN. Our study found that lncRNA EVF‐2 upregulated podocytes DN patients, correlating with cell cycle re‐entry and inflammation. Specific knockout or knockdown evf‐2 mice cultured alleviated podocyte associated these processes. RNA sequencing evf‐2‐overexpressing unveiled predominant enrichment mRNAs inflammation pathways, alternative splicing cycle‐related Ccnb1 Tacc3....
This study sought to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of perventricular device closure a doubly committed sub-arterial ventricular septal defect (dcVSD) through left infra-axillary approach.Forty-five patients, with dcVSD less than 8 mm in diameter, were enrolled this study. The pericardium was exposed opened mini-incision.
