Epitopes of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), the target antigen in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN), must be presented by HLA–encoded MHC class II molecules to stimulate autoantibody production. A genome–wide association study identified risk alleles at HLA and PLA2R loci, with top variant rs2187668 within HLA-DQA1 showing a effect greater than that rs4664308 PLA2R1. How affect epitope presentation iMN is unknown. Here, we genotyped 261 patients 599 healthy controls HLA-DRB1,...

Complement activation plays a substantial role in the pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). C5b-9, C3c, MBL, and factor B have been documented subepithelial immune deposits. However, changing complement products circulation urine is not clear. We measured circulating urinary levels C1q, C4d, Bb, properdin, C3a, C5a, sC5b-9, 134 patients with biopsy-proven pMN, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. All plasma values were corrected eGFR all creatinine protein excretion....

Abstract Replacing inorganic anodes with organic electrode materials is an attractive direction for future green Li‐ion batteries (LIBs). Carbonyl compounds are being explored as leading anode candidates LIBs. In particular, cyclohexanehexanone (C 6 O ), a perfect structure composed entirely of six CO groups, can theoretically contribute to the most reactive sites and highest specific capacity, but has not been used material so far owing its high solubility in carbonate‐based electrolytes...

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease. Recent studies have proposed that plasma soluble urokinase receptor (suPAR) might be causative circulating factor but this proposal has caused controversy. This study aimed to measure urinary suPAR levels in patients with primary FSGS and its significance the pathogenesis FSGS. Sixty-two FSGS, diagnosed between January 2006 2012, complete clinical pathologic data were enrolled, together disease normal...

The clinical outcome varies considerably in primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). Risk factors for kidney prognosis include ageing, male gender, persistent heavy proteinuria, decreased eGFR at presentation, elevation of anti-PLA2R antibodies, no remission, and so on. It was controversial whether the histopathological features pMN could predict treatment response outcome. A retrospective study conducted 371 patients with biopsy-proven pMN. Pathological parameters included immunofluorescence...

Background Studies on adriamycin mice model suggest complement system is activated and together with IgM contributes to the glomerular injury of primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). We recently reported FSGS patients C3 deposition showed unfavorable therapeutic responses worse renal outcomes. Here we examined plasma urinary profile FSGS, aiming investigate participation in pathogenesis. Methods Seventy biopsy-proven were enrolled. The levels C3a, C5a, soluble C5b-9, C4d, C1q,...

Relapse of membranous nephropathy (MN) and other glomerular diseases has been observed after COVID-19 infection. The risk factors contributing to disease progression in MN patients contracting remain unclear. This retrospective study included 656 consecutive with biopsy-proven primary who received treatment were regularly followed up for over six months. Logistic regression analyses conducted identify progression. Among the cohort, 555 (84.6%) contracted from November 11th, 2022, February...

Purpose Embryo engineering requires a large number of oocytes, which undergo in vitro maturation (IVM). Understanding how to select the best quality oocytes is key improving IVM efficiency. Oocytes have different germinal vesicle (GV) chromatin configurations, may explain heterogeneity oocyte during IVM. However, no reports categorized, configuration rat GVs or evaluated, association between and development. Methods The GV was divided into seven types according degree compaction:...
