Background: It is increasingly recognised that improved diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of acute kidney injury (AKI) requires an understanding of distinct underling cellular and molecular mechanisms (endotypes) that may distinguish overtly similar clinical AKI presentations. One important avenue of research is the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in response to kidney injury mediated by microRNAs.
Summary: This mini-review summarises the use of microRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in AKI. The contribution of microRNAs to the pathophysiology of AKI will be highlighted along with the potential for therapeutic applications. Key Messages: While there is great potential for a better understanding of AKI, microRNAs form a complex regulatory network. Understanding the role and significance of microRNAs in the context of AKI and critical illness is a major endeavour in translational medicine, requiring the integration of clinical and experimental data.

Department of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou; Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: Detecting kidney trauma on CT scans can be challenging and is sometimes overlooked. While deep learning (DL) has shown promise in medical imaging, its application to kidney injuries remains underexplored. This study aims to develop and validate a DL algorithm for detecting kidney trauma, using institutional trauma data and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) dataset for external validation.

This study was aim to investigate the effects of lipoic acid (ALA) on performance, meat quality, serum biochemistry and antioxidant function of broilers under heat stress (HS). Two hundred1-day-old Cobb broilers were randomly divided into four treatment groups and each treatment consisted of 4 replicates of 10 broilers each. The treatment group adopts a 2 × 2 two-factor setting, which is divided into two diets (basic diet or 250 mg/kg ALA diet) and two temperatures (24 ± 1℃ or 33 ± 1℃).

Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is a severe diabetic chronic microvascular complication and the major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Our study aimed to investigate the effects of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) a natural flavonoid compound on DN and to explore the underlying mechanisms. The db/db mice were received intragastric treatments of ISL (5, 10, or 20 mg/kg), vehicle or positive drug metformin (300 mg/kg) once a day for 12 weeks, and the db/m mice treated with vehicle were used as controls.
