The white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were challenged with tryptic soy broth (TSB)-grown Vibrio alginolyticus at a dose of 1 x 10(6) colony-forming units (cfu) shrimp(-1), and then placed in water containing concentrations of nitrite-N at 0 (control), 1.12, 5.15, 11.06 and 21.40 mg l(-1). Mortality of shrimp in 5.15, 11.06 and 21.40 mg l(-1) was significantly higher than those in the control solution after 48-168 h. L. vannamei that had been exposed to control, 0.98, 4.94, 9.87 and 19.99 mg l(-1) nitrite-N for 96 h were examined for THC (total haemocyte count), phenoloxidase activity, and respiratory burst (release of superoxide anion). The THC and phenoloxidase activity decreased when the shrimp were exposed to 4.94, 9.87 and 19.99 mg l(-1) nitrite-N, whereas, the respiratory burst increased significantly at 9.87 and 19.99 mg l(-1) nitrite-N after 96 h. It is therefore suggested that nitrite in water caused a depression in the immune ability of L. vannamei and an increased susceptibility to V. alginolyticus infection, together with an increase of superoxide anion production, possibly to cytotoxic levels for the host.

The Superiority of European Kidney Function Consortium Cystatin C-Based Formula for Risk Stratification of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Deaths in US Adults.

Introduction: We intended to compare the predictive value for all-cause and cardiovascular deaths between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) derived from the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) cystatin C-based formula, the EKFC creatinine-based formula, and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) cystatin C- or creatinine-based formulas.
Methods: Overall, 4,132 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 1999 and 2002 were included, and death information was obtained through the National Death Index. To compare predictive accuracy between EKFC eGFRcys (EKFC cystatin C-based formula), CKD-EPI eGFRcys (CKD-EPI cystatin C-based formula), EKFC eGFRcr (EKFC creatinine-based formula), and CKD-EPI eGFRcr (CKD-EPI creatinine-based formula), we conducted time-dependent receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves and reclassification analysis.

Objective: The relationship between dietary niacin intake (DNI) and mortality rates among patients afflicted with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a subject of debate. Utilizing data derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), this study adopts a retrospective cohort design with an aim to investigate the association in the American adult patients with CKD.
Methods: A cohort study was conducted in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2009 and 2018 that enrolled 6,191 CKD patients aged 20 years and above.
Association between the oxidative balance score and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes and prediabetes.

Background: Few studies have examined the link between systemic oxidative stress and mortality risk in diabetes and prediabetes patients. The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) is a novel measure of systemic oxidative stress, with higher scores indicating greater antioxidant exposure. This study investigates the relationship between OBS and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in these patients.
