Objective: To conduct a meta-analysis of the literature evaluating comparisons on the peri-operative and oncological outcomes between laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and laparoscopic ablation therapy (LAT) in the treatment of small renal masses (SRMs).

Material And Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and CNKI were searched for clinical trials comparing LPN with LAT. Data of peri-operative and follow-up outcomes were extracted and compared. Publication bias was identified and sensitivity analysis was also performed.

Results: Data from 11 studies including 928 patients (525 patients in the LPN group and 403 in the LAT group) were collected. Baseline characteristics were compared and differences were found in age, preoperative renal function and proportion of solitary kidney (p < 0.05 respectively). For peri-operative outcomes, the LPN group had greater estimated blood loss, longer operative duration and length of hospital stay, and more peri-operative complications (p < 0.05, respectively). The LAT group had a significantly higher local recurrence (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative change of renal function (p = 0.21).

Conclusion: In comparison with LPN, LAT provides better peri-operative outcomes, but a higher local recurrence rate. LAT does not seem to provide an obvious advantage in protecting renal function. Further clinical trials with randomized design and long-term follow-up are needed.

A preclinical study on effect of betanin on sodium fluoride induced hepatorenal toxicity in wistar rats.

J Complement Integr Med

Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Manipal, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India.

Background: Excessive fluoride exposure leads to increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, causing harmful effects on the metabolic organs in the human body. Betanin, a pigment obtained from beetroot, is seen to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The study was conducted to determine the role of betanin in fluoride induced hepato-renal toxicity in Wistar rats.

Monitoring subcellular organelle dynamics in real time and precisely assessing membrane heterogeneity in living cells are very important for studying fundamental biological mechanisms and gaining a comprehensive understanding of cellular processes. However, there remains a shortage of effective tools for these purposes. Herein, we propose a strategy to develop the exchangeable water-sensing probeAPBD for time-lapse imaging of dynamics in cellular membrane-bound organelle morphology with structured illumination microscopy at the nanoscale.

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing global health issue, affecting approximately 9.1% of the world's population. Oxidative stress is believed to play a key role in CKD development, with indicators such as the Oxidative Balance Score (OBS), Pro-Oxidant-Antioxidant Balance (PAB), and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) being of particular interest.

Gut dysbiosis serves as an underlying risk factor for the development of hypertension. The resolution of this dysbiosis has emerged as a promising strategy in improving hypertension. Food-derived bioactive protein peptides have become increasingly more attractive in ameliorating hypertension, primarily due to their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities.

Background: Tubular injury triggered by hyperglycemia is an important pathological characteristic in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Accumulated advanced glycation end products and their precursor methylglyoxal (MGO), contribute to the development of DN. Carnosine has been shown to prevent the development of DN but the underlying mechanism still needs to be studied in depth.
