AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the diagnostic value of urinary retinol binding protein (RBP), albumin (ALB), and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in diagnosing neonatal hydronephrosis, comparing levels in affected infants to healthy controls.
- The research found that RBP and ALB levels were significantly higher and AQP2 levels lower in infants with hydronephrosis, with maternal blood MCP-1 levels also elevated in this group.
- The combination of RBP, ALB, and AQP2 showed high diagnostic accuracy (AUC of 0.913), indicating these markers are useful in identifying neonatal hydronephrosis and are associated with maternal MCP-1 levels.
Article Abstract
Diagnostic value of urinary retinol binding protein (RBP), albumin (ALB) and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in neonatal hydronephrosis and their relationship with the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) in the prenatal maternal peripheral blood was investigated. Forty-six child patients with hydronephrosis admitted to Hongqi Hospital Affiliated to Mudanjiang Medical College from December 2016 to November 2017 were selected as the observation group and the control included 46 normal newborn infants. The urinary RBP, ALB, AQP2 and the expression of MCP-1 in the prenatal maternal peripheral blood in the two groups were compared. The diagnostic value of the combination of urinary RBP, ALB and AQP2 for the neonatal hydronephrosis was accessed through the area under curve (AUC). The changes of urinary RBP, ALB and AQP2 of child patients were observed and the correlations between RBP, ALB, AQP2 and MCP-1 were analyzed. The concentrations of RBP and ALB in the observation group were obviously increased compared to those in the control group. The AQP2 concentration in the observation group was lower than that in the control group. In the observation group, the MCP-1 level in the prenatal maternal blood was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the concentration of RBP and ALB in the child patients were significantly decreased and AQP2 concentration was increased compared with that before treatment (P<0.05). The AUC of the diagnosis combining with RBP, ALB and AQP2 was 0.913. RBP and ALB were positively correlated to MCP-1 in the prenatal maternal peripheral blood and there was a negative correlation between AQP2 and MCP-1 (P<0.05). In conclusion, urinary RBP, ALB and AQP2 can be regarded as markers for the diagnosis of the neonatal hydronephrosis and they are also closely related to the MCP-1 level in the prenatal maternal peripheral blood.

The progress of research focused on cholangiocytes and the biliary tree during development and following injury is hindered by limited available quantitative methodologies. Current techniques include two-dimensional standard histological cell-counting approaches, which are rapidly performed, error prone, and lack architectural context or three-dimensional analysis of the biliary tree in opacified livers, which introduce technical issues along with minimal quantitation. The present study aims to fill these quantitative gaps with a supervised machine-learning model (BiliQML) able to quantify biliary forms in the liver of anti-keratin 19 antibody-stained whole slide images.

Previous studies disclosed that a high thyroid stimulating hormone level is an independent risk factor for diabetes peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, whether thyroid metabolism has an effect on DPN in euthyroid T2DM patients remains unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the association between thyroid function and DPN in euthyroid T2DM patients.
