Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19: Risk Factors and Serum Biomarkers.

Background: AKI is one of the COVID-19 complications with high prognostic significance. In our research, we studied the prognostic role of several biomarkers that could help us understand AKI pathogenesis in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: We evaluated the medical data of 500 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Tareev Clinic from 5 October 2020 to 1 March 2022.

The study involved survey and self-description methods offered to students and instructors to assess the effectiveness of using mobile apps in learning. The study was conducted among 320 s-year students of the I.

Soy Protein as a Part of a Low-protein Diet is a New Direction in Cardio- and Nephroprotection in Patients With 3b-4 Stages of Chronic kidney Disease.

Unlabelled: It has been established that the use of a low-protein diet (LPD) in combination with ketoanalogues of essential amino acids (KA) can contribute to cardio and nephroprotection in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Moreover, it has been shown that partial replacement of the animal protein with soy protein (SP) in the diet contributed to more pronounced nephro and cardioprotection in CKD, however, the data, available in the literature, are mainly represented by experimental studies.

Aim Of The Study: We conducted a prospective randomized controlled clinical study that compared the effects of 2 types of diets on the main parameters of nephro and cardioprotection in patients with CKD.

Cardiovascular remodeling as a result of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23)/Klotho imbalance in patients with CKD.

Background: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) cardiovascular remodeling (CVR) is very frequent compared with general population and, as suppose, may be associated with «new» renal risk factors. The aim of study was to estimate association of new serum biomarkers (FGF-23, Klotho) and traditional biomarker of cardiac damage-serum Troponin I (sTr-I) with signs of CVR.

Methods: One hundred thirty CKD G1-5D patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD) clinical manifestation were included.

Effect of essential amino acid кetoanalogues and protein restriction diet on morphogenetic proteins (FGF-23 and Кlotho) in 3b-4 stages chronic кidney disease patients: a randomized pilot study.

Background: A low protein diet (LPD) with essential amino acid ketoanalogue supplementation (KA) may contribute in improving of chronic kidney disease (CKD), while the exact mechanisms of KA's effect are not established yet. We have conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled comparative study of LPD + KA and LPD alone in relation to serum Klotho, FGF-23 levels in CKD patients.

Methods: 79 non-diabetic CKD 3b-4 stage patients, compliant with LPD diet (0.

Phosphonium-iodonium ylides with heteroatomic groups in the synthesis of annelated P-containing heterocycles.

The preparation and chemistry of novel sulfonyl- and phosphoryl-derived λ(3)-iodanes are reported. These compounds with three different heteroatoms attached to a negatively charged C atom represent potentially useful reagents that combine in one molecule the synthetic advantages of a phosphonium ylide and an iodonium salt. Specifically, they can react with a number of acetylenes, leading to hitherto unknown sulfonyl- and phosphoryl-substituted phosphinolines, phosphininothiophenes, and a novel type of annelated P-containing heterocycle--phosphininopyrazole.

Hetaryl-substituted phosphonium-iodonium ylides in synthesis of heterocycles.

A series of hitherto unknown hetaryl-substituted (in phosphonium part) phosphonium-iodonium ylides were synthesized. The reaction of these mixed phosphonium-iodonium ylides with acetylenes opens a way to new furyl annelated phosphinolines or unusually substituted phosphininofurans.

Photochemical synthesis of phosphinolines from phosphonium-iodonium ylides.

We describe three different series of experiments which were undertaken to test our hypothesis that during irradiation of phosphonium-iodonium ylides (1a, 1b) an electrophilic carbene is generated. By opposing the assumed intermediate to monosubstituted alkynes, we observed in the case of electron-rich substituents at the triple bond a domination of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the intermediate with the triple bond to yield furans. In the case of electron poorer substituents, the formation of phosphinolines prevails.
