To investigate the effect of pantoprazole on acute lung and kidney injury with sepsis and its possible mechanism. Rats were randomly divided into six groups, the status and lung wet/dry weight ratio were determined at various time points. Hematoxylin Eosin staining (HE) for pathological changes in the lungs and kidneys of rats with sepsis. Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the pulmonary surfactant protein A(SPA) and D(SPD). The levels of markers for kidney damage in serum and urine various time points were measured by ELISA. The apoptosis in lung and kidney tissue of rats were detected using TUNEL assay. Subsequently, the cell apoptosis of LPS-induced BEAS-2B and HK-2 cells after pantoprazole treatment were detected using flow cytometry. The levels of RHOA/ROCK signaling pathway proteins in the lung and kidney tissues and cells were detected using WB. Our results indicated that Pantoprazole could suppress the expression of inflammatory factors in the blood and alleviate pathological damage of lung and kidney tissues in rats with sepsis. Pantoprazole treatment could reduce apoptosis in lung and kidney tissues and inhibit cell apoptosis induced by LPS. In addition, pantoprazole can inhibit RHOA/ROCK signaling pathway proteins and the levels of inflammatory factors in LPS-induced BEAS-2B and HK-2 cells. Pantoprazole can improve the symptoms of acute lung and kidney injury in septic rats, which suggested that pantoprazole might be used to guide the treatment of sepsis.

Preserved ratio impaired spirometry, airflow obstruction, and their trajectories in relationship to chronic kidney disease: a prospective cohort study.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, No.2, Xihuan South Road, Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, Daxing District, Beijing, China.

Spirometry findings, such as restrictive spirometry and airflow obstruction, are associated with renal outcomes. Effects of spirometry findings such as preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) and its trajectories on renal outcomes are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of baseline and trajectories of spirometry findings on future chronic kidney disease (CKD) events.

Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients frequently experience protein-energy wasting (PEW), which increases their morbidity and mortality rates.

Objective: This study explores the effects of nutritional status and pulmonary function on the short- and long-term mortality of ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Materials And Methods: 67 consecutive ESRD patients on maintenance hemodialysis were included in the study.

Unlabelled: APOBEC3 proteins (A3s) play an important role in host innate immunity against viruses and DNA mutations in cancer. A3s-induced mutations in both viral and human DNA genomes vary significantly from non-lethal mutations in viruses to localized hypermutations, such as kataegis in cancer. How A3s are regulated remains largely unknown.

The role of surfactant proteins A and D (SP-A and SP-D) in lung clearance and translocation to secondary organs of inhaled nanoparticles was investigated by exposing SP-A and SP-D knockout (AKO and DKO) and wild type (WT) mice nose-only for 3 hours to an aerosol of 20 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Animals were euthanised at 0-, 1-, 7- and 28-days post-exposure. Analysis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) of the liver and kidneys showed that extrapulmonary translocation was below the limits of detection.
