In this manuscript, we delve into the realm of lattice ordered complex linear diophantine fuzzy soft set, which constitutes an invaluable extension to the existing Fuzzy set theories. Within this exploration, we investigate basic operations such as and , together with their properties and theorems. This manuscript is more amenable in two ways, .

We previously demonstrated that ginsenoside Re (G-Re) has protective effects on acute kidney injury. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis and pathway enrichment analysis of all published transcriptome data to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways of G-Re treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how mismatches between donor and recipient genes, specifically outside the human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), contribute to the loss of kidney transplants, with a focus on intronic mismatches, using data from two transplant cohorts.
  • - Researchers identified the LIMS1 gene as a key factor linked to graft loss and discovered a specific haplotype of 30 SNPs in LIMS1 that correlates with worse transplant outcomes in both cohorts, suggesting a dose-dependent risk.
  • - The findings highlight how the LIMS1 gene and associated SNPs influence the TGF-β1/SMAD signaling pathway through the GCC2 gene, affecting T cell function and ultimately contributing to kidney transplant loss. *

Renal inflammation and fibrosis are the common pathways leading to progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). We previously identified hematopoietic cell kinase (HCK) as upregulated in human chronic allograft injury promoting kidney fibrosis; however, the cellular source and molecular mechanisms are unclear. Here, using immunostaining and single cell sequencing data, we show that HCK expression is highly enriched in pro-inflammatory macrophages in diseased kidneys.

Morphometric estimates of mean or individual glomerular volume (MGV, IGV) have biological implications, over and above qualitative histologic data. However, morphometry is time-consuming and requires expertise limiting its utility in clinical cases. We evaluated MGV and IGV using plastic- and paraffin-embedded tissue from 10 control and 10 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) mice (aging and 5/6th nephrectomy models) using the gold standard Cavalieri (Cav) method versus the 2-profile and Weibel-Gomez (WG) methods and a novel 3-profile method.
