Intraoperative Tranexamic Acid Infusion Reduces Perioperative Blood Loss in Pediatric Limb-Salvage Surgeries: A Double-Blinded Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
National Cancer Institute, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt.
Background: Limb-salvage surgery for malignant bone tumors can be associated with considerable perioperative blood loss. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to assess the safety and efficacy of the intraoperative infusion of tranexamic acid (TXA) in children and adolescents undergoing limb-salvage surgery.
Methods: All participants were <18 years of age at the time of surgery and diagnosed with a malignant bone tumor of the femur that was treated with resection and reconstruction with a megaprosthesis.
The Correlation of Serum Adropin with Cardiovascular Risk Factors in the Experimental Rat Model of Chronic Kidney Disease and Its Implication in the Ameliorative Effect of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors.

Background: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to be far greater than that in the general population. Adropin regulates endothelial function and may play a role in the pathogenesis of CVD. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) treatment was reported to have a protective effect on both renal and cardiovascular function.

The global burden of renal diseases is increasingly severe, underscoring the need for in-depth exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying renal disease progression and the development of potential novel biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in the regulation of key biological processes, such as glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammation, vascular permeability, and angiogenesis, all of which play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases. Over the past 2 decades, ANGPTL4 has been regarded as playing a pivotal role in the progression of various kidney diseases, prompting significant interest from the scientific community regarding its potential clinical utility in renal disorders.

Introduction: The role of mast cells (MCs) in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is unclear, and comprehensive single-cell studies of ccRCC MCs have not yet been performed.
Methods: To investigate the heterogeneity and effects of MCs in ccRCC, we studied single-cell transcriptomes from four ccRCC patients, integrating both single-cell sequencing and bulk tissue sequencing data from online sequencing databases, followed by validation via spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC).
Results: We identified four MC signature genes (TPSB2, TPSAB1, CPA3, and HPGDS).
Association between extracellular DNA levels, markers of inflammation and left ventricular mass index in children with chronic kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, but the primary factors triggering this inflammation remain unclear. Extracellular or cell-free DNA (exDNA) originates from virtually all tissues, being released during cell death, and stimulates the innate immune system. Our study was designed as an observational, cross-sectional cohort study of children with CKD (both before and after kidney transplantation) and controls to analyze associations between exDNA, markers of inflammation, and cardiovascular health.
