Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often suffer from complications such as anemia as the kidney function declines. More than 25% of CKD hemodialysis patients in China are complicated with renal anemia due to renal and hepatic impairment in the production of erythropoietin (EPO). In recent years, prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) inhibitors have been approved in China and Japan for the treatment of CKD patients complicated with anemia.

During pregnancy, marked changes in vasculature occur. The placenta is developed, and uteroplacental and fetoplacental circulations are established. These processes may be negatively affected by genetic anomalies, maternal environment (i.

Background: Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) level is related to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. However, the dynamic expression and regulatory mechanism of Ang-2 remain unclear.
Aim: To investigate Ang-2 levels in chronic liver diseases and validate early monitoring value with a dynamic model in hepatocarcinogenesis.

The vascular endothelium is vital for cardio-pulmonary homeostasis and, thus, plays a crucial role in preventing life-threatening lung diseases. The transcription factor GATA2 is essential for hematopoiesis and maintaining vascular integrity. Heterozygous mutations in GATA2 can lead to a primary immunodeficiency syndrome with pulmonary manifestations.

White matter injury (WMI) is a common complication of preterm birth, potentially resulting in long-term behavioral and motor abnormalities. The objective of this study is to investigate the neuroprotective effects of glycyrrhizin (GLY) on WMI, and try to elucidate the potential mechanisms. In vivo chronic hypoxia-induced WMI mouse model and in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) induced WMI cell model were established, and the effects of GLY on WMI were explored through multiple assays, such as western blotting, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, behavioral experiments, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), molecular docking, and bioinformatics analysis.
