The following error (highlighted in bold below) appears in the Results section of the Abstract: A total of 503 patients were followed for an average of 33.6 ± 16.2 months, with a mean age of 69.3 years; 53.7% male; and a majority (88.7%) of them undergoing vasodilator stress. A significant increase in all-cause mortality was seen based on the severity of TPD results for all vasodilators (P < .0001) and regadenoson (P < .0001). Similar prognostic ability was seen for all-cause (this should actually be cardiac) mortality. This association was maintained even after adjustment for cardiac risk factors, previous coronary disease, and troponin quartiles. MPI results (stress TPD and LVEF) added to traditional cardiac risk factors, and troponin values resulted in a significant incremental increase in the ability to predict all-cause and cardiac mortality, and stress TPD remained independently predictive for both all-cause and cardiac mortality in a multivariate model.

Evaluation of renal functional reserve with oral protein load or new ultrasound test.

J Nephrol

Department of Medicine, Surgery and Neurosciences, Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation Unit, University Hospital of Siena, Siena, Italy.

Background: Renal functional reserve (RFR) measures the difference between the stimulated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the baseline GFR to detect early signs of renal functional decline. The protein load test (RFR-T) is the gold standard for RFR assessment but is a complicated procedure. Renal intraparenchymal resistance index (RRI) variation test (DRRI-T) is a non-invasive method to measure renal function reserve using ultrasound.

Renal Tubule-Specific Angiotensinogen Deletion Attenuates SGLT2 Expression and Ameliorates Diabetic Kidney Disease in Murine Models of Type 1 Diabetes.

Diabetes

January 2025

Centre de recherche, Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CRCHUM) and Département de médecine, Université de Montréal, 900 Saint Denis Street, Montréal, QC Canada H2X 0A9.

The role of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression remains unclear. In this study, we generated mice with renal tubule-specific deletion of angiotensinogen (Agt; RT-Agt-/-) in both Akita and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse model of diabetes. Both Akita RT-Agt-/- and STZ-RT-Agt-/- mice exhibited significant attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, glomerulomegaly and tubular injury.

Background: Impaired interstitial fluid drainage in the brain is indicated by the presence of perivascular β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits and is attributed to alterations in contractility and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The brain microvasculature in Alzheimer disease (AD) accumulates amyloid-forming amylin secreted from the pancreas. Here, we tested the hypothesis that cerebrovascular amylin deposits perturbs cerebral Aβ efflux by impairing cerebral vasodilation.

METTL14 Mediates m6A methylation to improve osteogenesis under oxidative stress condition.

Objectives: Bone remodeling imbalance contributes to osteoporosis. Though current medications enhance osteoblast involvement in bone formation, the underlying pathways remain unclear. This study was aimed to explore the pathways involved in bone formation by osteoblasts, we investigate the protective role of glycolysis and N6-methyladenosine methylation (m6A) against oxidative stress-induced impairment of osteogenesis in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Resveratrol-Loaded Versatile Nanovesicle for Alopecia Therapy via Comprehensive Strategies.

Introduction: Alopecia is a systemic disease with multiple contributing factors. Effective treatment is challenging when only hair growth mechanisms are targeted while ignoring the role of maintaining hair follicle microenvironment homeostasis, which is crucial for cell growth and angiogenesis. Oxidative stress and inflammation are major disruptors of this microenvironment, leading to inhibited cell proliferation and compromised hair follicle circulation.
