Aim: To explore the characteristics of the urinary excretion in the elderly patients and to offer some advice for the prevention and treatment of hyponatremia in the elderly patients.

Methods: 42 inpatients aged over 80 were divided into tow groups according to their creatinine clearance rate (CCR). Meanwhile, 24 patients aged 45-59 and 31 patients aged 60-79 were chosen as the control groups. All patients were examined 24h urinary electrolytes and CCR.

Results: (1) The CCR in the elderly group was lower than in the middle-aged and old group and the 24 h urinary sodium excretion was accordingly diminished than the two groups. 24 h urinary sodium excretion in CCR abnormal group was also diminished than in CCR normal group. The urinary sodium excretion was not linearly correlate with the CCR in middle-aged group and old group but was linearly correlate in the elderly group. (2) The elderly patients' capability of holding blood sodium and excreting potassium was declined in the CCR normal group. But the urinary excretion of sodium, potassium and phosphonium were all diminished in CCR abnormal group. (3) All patients' sodium intake was higher than the criteria made by China Hypertension Association.

Conclusion: Their urinary sodium excretion is linearly correlate with CCR. Urinary sodium excretion is increased when the elderly patients' renal function is relative normal but when the renal function is severely damaged, urinary sodium excretion is diminished.

Pseudogenization of the Slc23a4 gene is necessary for the survival of Xdh-deficient mice.

In most patients with type 1 xanthinuria caused by mutations in the xanthine dehydrogenase gene (XDH), no clinical complications, except for urinary stones, are observed. In contrast, all Xdh(- / -) mice die due to renal failure before reaching adulthood at 8 weeks of age. Hypoxanthine or xanthine levels become excessive and thus toxic in Xdh(- / -) mice because enhancing the activity of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), which is an enzyme that uses hypoxanthine as a substrate, slightly increases the life span of these mice.

Background And Aims: Measurement of the urine sodium concentration (USC) is a simple procedure that in many patients adequately indicates their hydration status. This is of particular importance in patients suffering from short bowel syndrome (SBS), who may very rapidly dehydrate and are at risk for permanently compromising their kidney function. A point of care test (POCT) that allows reliable measurement of USC would enable these patients to effectively evaluate their sodium- and water balance in the at home setting, thereby avoiding hospital visits and delayed test results.

Bacterial prostatitis (BP) is a common prostatic infection characterized by pain and urinary symptoms, often with negative bacterial cultures from prostatic secretions. It affects young and older men bimodally and impacts quality of life (QoL) significantly. : Treatment typically involves antibiotics, but a multimodal approach with additional nutraceuticals may enhance outcomes.

Exacerbation of diabetes due to F. Nucleatum LPS-induced SGLT2 overexpression in the renal proximal tubular epithelial cells.

Background: Diabetes treatments by the control of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is commonly conducted while there are still uncertainties about the mechanisms for the SGLT2 overexpression in kidneys with diabetes. Previously, we have reported that glomeruli and proximal tubules with diabetic nephropathy express toll-like receptor TLR2/4, and that the TLR ligand lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of periodontal pathogens have caused nephropathy in diabetic model mice. Recently, many researchers suggested that the periodontal pathogenic bacteria Fusobacterium (F.

Following severe burns, the predominant concern is significant fluid loss, for which balanced crystalloid solutions are widely recommended as the primary intravenous resuscitation fluids. However, current literature lacks a clear distinction among various buffered crystalloid types that might be most effective in the early resuscitation of burn patients. This retrospective study was conducted to identify the optimal resuscitation fluid for major burns and to assess the clinical outcomes associated with isotonic crystalloid solutions compared to hypotonic crystalloids, specifically in terms of urinary output, acid-base balance, and electrolyte stability.
