Maintenance immunosuppression is required for suppression of alloimmunity or allograft rejection. However, continuous use immunosuppressants may lead to various side effects, necessitating the alternative immunosuppressive drugs. The early secreted antigenic target 6 kDa (ESAT-6) a virulence factor and immunoregulatory protein mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which alters host immunity through dually regulating development activation immune cells. ESAT-6 be potential immunosuppressant that...
Aim To investigate the effects of rhubarb enema treatment using a 5/6 nephrectomized rat model and study its mechanisms. Methods Twenty-eight Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: sham operation group (n = 8), (5/6Nx) 10), 5/6Nx with 10). The was continuous for 1.0 month. Serum creatinine, serum indoxyl sulfate (IS) level, renal pathology, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, oxidative stress assessed. Results showed increasing levels creatinine severe pathological lesions. Their...

Objective: To investigate the effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on indoxyl sulfate-induced Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) injury in vitro and study its mechanism. Methods: HUVECs were incubated with sulfate at concentrations range found uremic patients. Then we determined effect endothelial phenotype, function, ROS (reactive oxygen species), cell apoptosis mitochondrial function. In addition, detected whether GSPE can suppress induced by probe mechanism...
Calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporine is widely used as an immunosuppressant in clinic. However, mounting evidence has shown that hinders tolerance induction by dampening Tregs. Therefore, it of paramount importance to overcome this pitfall. Kaempferol was reported inhibit DC function. Here, we found kaempferol delayed islet allograft rejection. Combination and low-dose, but not high-dose, induced majority recipient mice. Although plus either dose largely abrogated proliferation...
Self-management is crucial to diabetes care and providing expert-vetted content for answering patients' questions in facilitating patient self-management.The aim investigate the use of information retrieval techniques recommending education materials diabetic patients.We compared two algorithms, one based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling (topic modeling-based model) semantic group (semantic group-based model), with baseline models, vector space model (VSM), posted TuDiabetes...
Accurate quantitative analysis of trace analytes in a complicated matrix is challenge modern analytical chemistry. An appropriate method considered to be one the most common gaps during whole process. In this study, green and efficient strategy based on miniaturized solid-phase dispersion extraction combined with capillary electrophoresis was first proposed for extracting, purifying determining target from matrix, using Wubi Shanyao Pill as an example. detail, 60 mg samples were dispersed...
Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in development of drugs to combat cancer. It is unfortunate that these can also lead various kidney injuries and imbalances electrolyte levels. Nephrotoxicity caused by chemotherapy impact different parts kidneys, including glomeruli, renal tubules, interstitium, or microvessels. Despite existing knowledge, our understanding mechanisms underlying damage antitumoral remains incomplete. In this review, we aim provide a comprehensive...

What is known and objective Patients with kidney disease receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISDs) (tacrolimus, cyclosporine glucocorticoids) have a high risk of developing new-onset diabetes mellitus (NODM). We aimed to establish precise convenient model for predicting NODM in patients drugs. Methods This retrospective study recruited 1883 ISDs between January 2010 October 2018. The occurrence was the primary endpoint. were randomly divided into training (n = 1318) validation cohorts 565) at...
As an increasing number of patients seek medical information online, it is crucial to bring expert-vetted patients. Multiple online resources exist for their accuracy and authority knowledge. However, not clear which resource better in meeting the needs Utilizing a collection questions raised by with diabetes retrieved from forum, we manually evaluated three widely used (WebMD, MedlinePlus, UpToDate) terms content coverage time spent find answers. The results indicated that WebMD had...
