Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) accounts for 10% of all causes of hospital-acquired renal failure. It leadsto a prolonged in-hospital stay, and represents a powerful predictor of poor early and late outcomes. More than half of casesare observed after cardiovascular procedures.
Aim: To determine the predictive value of the serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level in the development of CIN, something which has not been assessed before.
Methods: We prospectively evaluated a total of 430 patients with acute coronary syndrome. Patients were classified according to the development of CIN and both groups were compared statistically according to clinical, laboratory and demographic features, including the serum ALP level.
Results: CIN was observed in 20.5% of patients. Advanced age, male gender, elevated creatinine, uric acid and phosphate levels, and low glomerular filtration rate were correlated with the development of CIN. Correlation analysis also showed a significant association between the ALP level and the development of CIN (126.1 ± 144.9 vs. 97.2 ± 46.9, p = 0.004). Univariate regression analysis also showed the impact of ALP on the development of CIN (OR 1.004, 95% CI 1.001–1.007, p = 0.02). Conclusions: Our outcomes indicate a possible active role of ALP in the mechanism of CIN. An elevated ALP level may predict the development of CIN.

TCP is a plant-specific transcription factor that plays an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, we used bioinformatics to identify the entire genome of the gene family in Bat, and we analyzed the expression characteristics of genes under UV-B radiation using qRT-PCR. The results were as follows: (1) 24 members of the gene family were identified in , evenly distributed on its 24 chromosomes.

Background: () biofilm associated infections are prevalent and persistent, posing a serious threat to human health and causing significant economic losses in animal husbandry. Nanoemulsions demonstrate significant potential in the treatment of bacterial biofilm associated infections due to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. In this study, a novel cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion with the ability to penetrate biofilm structures and eliminate biofilms was developed.
