Notes on Arthrotus Motschulsky, 1857 from Nanling region of China (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), with descriptions of two new species.

Seventeen species of Arthrotus Motschulsky, 1857 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae) from the Nanling area of China are reviewed, including two new species: A. hamatus sp. nov.

Reduction in NGAL at 48 h predicts the progression to CKD in patients with septic associated AKI: a single-center clinical study.

Background: In this study, our objective was to investigate the predictive value of serum and urine fluctuations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipid transporters (NGAL) in relation to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients with septic associated AKI (SA-AKI).

Methods: A total of 425 SA-AKI patients were enrolled in this study and divided into the recovery group (n = 320) and the AKI-to-CKD group (n = 105) based on 3-month follow-up data. The serum and urine NGAL levels on the day of AKI diagnosis (T0) and 48 h after anti-AKI treatment (T1) were recorded and calculated.
