Therapeutic potential of stromal vascular fraction in early diabetic nephrotoxicity: a histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis in type 2 diabetes rat model.

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a common complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D), significantly contributes to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Despite conventional treatments aimed at slowing disease progression, there is a pressing need for novel therapies. This study evaluates the potential therapeutic impact of adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) on early diabetic nephrotoxicity in a rat model.

Early Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of the Urinary TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 in Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Children.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a hidden complication among children within pediatric intensive care units (PICU).

Aim: To evaluate the early predictive and diagnostic value of Urinary [TIMP-2][IGFBP7] to detect AKI in PICU patients.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 112 children (72 admitted to PICU and 40 healthy controls) Urinary [TIMP-2][IGFBP7] was measured within 24 hours of PICU admission.

The association of TMPRSS6 gene polymorphism with iron status in Egyptian children (a pilot study).

Several studies have shown association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of hepcidin regulatory pathways genes with impaired iron status. The most common is in the TMPRSS6 gene. In Africa, very few studies have been reported.

Role of adiponectin, resistin and monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 in overweight/obese asthma phenotype in children.

Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways with diverse overlapping pathologies and phenotypes contributing to a significant heterogeneity in clinical manifestations. Obesity may modify asthma risk, phenotype, and prognosis. A suggested mechanism linking obesity and asthma is through systemic inflammation.

Histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular investigation on the hepatotoxic effect of potassium dichromate and the ameliorating role of Persea americana mill pulp extract.

The current study has been designed to assess the role of Persea americana (P. americana) pulp extract on potassium dichromate-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. P.
