Int J Environ Res Public Health
November 2021
The negative influence of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation on organisms, including humans, has been discussed widely in recent years. This paper deals with the methodology of examining possible harmful effects of mobile phone radiation, focusing on in vivo and in vitro laboratory methods of investigation and evaluation and their main problems and difficulties. Basic experimental parameters are summarized and discussed, and recent large studies are also mentioned.

- The study examines how specific genetic variations in the inflammatory response might affect kidney transplant outcomes, such as acute rejection and graft survival.
- Researchers analyzed 436 kidney transplant recipients to see if certain genetic polymorphisms had any significant impact on transplant success or rejection rates.
- Results showed no significant association between the studied polymorphisms and transplant outcomes, highlighting the need for further research to better understand these relationships.
Background: Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) are new markers related to vascular damage.
Methods: Thirty-one patients who had undergone kidney transplantation (TX) in the year 2005 under tacrolimus-based immunosuppression were included in this prospective single-center study. PAPP-A and sRAGE were determined before TX and 2 and 6 weeks and 3 months after TX.
