Introduction: Coexistence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the case of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) significantly worsens the outcomes.

Aim: The aim of our study was to assess renal function impact on mortality among patients with ACS.

Materials And Methods: The study was based on records of 21,985 patients hospitalized in the Medical University of Bialystok in 2009-2015. Inclusion criteria were ACS. Exclusion criteria were: death within 24 h of admission, eGFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m, hemodialysis. Mean observation time was 2296 days.

Results: Criteria were met by 2213 patients. CKD occurred in 24.1% ( = 533) and more often affected those with NSTEMI (26.2 (337) vs. 21.2 (196),  = .006). STEMI patients had higher incidence of post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) (5 (46) vs. 4.1 (53),  < .001). During the study, 705 people died (31.9%), more often with NSTEMI (33.2% (428) vs. 29.95% (277),  < .001). However, from a group of patients suffering from PC-AKI 57.6% died. The risk of PC-AKI increased with creatinine concentration (RR: 2.990, 95%CI: 1.567-5.721,  < .001), occurrence of diabetes mellitus (RR: 2.143, 95%CI: 1.029-4.463,  = .042), atrial fibrillation (RR: 2.289, 95%CI: 1.056-4.959,  = .036). Risk of death was greater with an increase in postprocedural creatinine concentration (RR: 2.254, 95%CI: 1.481-3.424,  < .001).

Conclusion: PC-AKI is a major complication in patients with ACS, occurs more frequently in STEMI and may be a prognostic marker of long-term mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). More attention should be given to the prevention and diagnosis of PC-AKI but necessary PCI should not be withheld in fear of PC-AKI.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of kidney cancer with a high metastatic rate and high mortality rate. The molecular mechanism of ccRCC development, however, needs further study. Aurora kinase B (AURKB) functions as an important oncogene in various tumors; therefore, in the present study, we aimed to explore the mechanism by which AURKB affects ccRCC development.

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.

Unlabelled: Immune escape is a critical hallmark of cancer progression and underlies resistance to multiple immunotherapies. However, it remains unclear when the genetic events associated with immune escape occur during cancer development. Here, we integrate functional genomics studies of immunomodulatory genes with a tumor evolution reconstruction approach to infer the evolution of immune escape across 38 cancer types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes dataset.

Background: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a significant complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD), leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Early detection is essential for managing CKD patients effectively, especially those on hemodialysis. This study evaluated the prevalence CAN in CKD and diagnostic accuracy of Bellavere's Score in predicting CAN in CKD patients, including those undergoing hemodialysis.

Obesity is a rapidly growing health problem worldwide, affecting both adults and children and increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, obesity is closely linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) by either exacerbating diabetic complications or directly causing kidney damage. Obesity-related CKD is characterized by proteinuria, lipid accumulation, fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, which can gradually impair kidney function.
